A Frightening Day

I woke up; trying to predict what was going to happen. It was Tuesday morning. We were going out to Kaiteriteri to learn about sea safety. I didn’t know what was going to happen out at sea.
We jumped into our cars and went to Kaiteri.
When we got there, we were freezing cold! We met our guides, chose a kayak each and went out to sea.
Our aim was to travel out to the big island straight ahead of us.
Suddenly dark clouds surrounded us! We were frightened but everyone was sure that they wanted to keep going.
I called out to Brittany to see if she was alright. I could only hear her faintly.
“Brittany,” I yelled out again,m but this time I couldn’t hear her at all! I yelled out to Charlie, our guide, “Brittany’s missing!”
“Everyone come here, huddle up. Now I have to go and search for Brittany. You guys stay here with Anita and I will search for her. Okay?”
“Yes”, everyone agreed nervously.

Elizabeth started mumbling to herself. It sounded like she was working out year 12 maths! Suddenly she yelled out “Anita don’t you, have a phone with you?”
“Yes, yes I do, that’s a brilliant idea!” she said.
So she called 111 and got help.
It seemed liked ages before we heard and saw a helicopter above us. We waved our hands about and yelled “help, help!!”
The sky was clearing up very, very slowly. It still wasn’t clear enough to kayak back. So we had to travel back to shore on a helicopter one by one. We were looking out for Brittany on the way back.
The sky cleared up some more.
We could faintly see Charlie with someone or something on the back of his kayak. When they were just about in we could swear it was Brittany!
They got to shore and he told us his story of finding Brittany. She was safe and sound with no cuts or bruises.
On the way home Brittany said, “I wasn’t scared at all! I was just starving and I couldn’t find you so I just went off into this cave and ate!”
“Brittany! We were all scared and worried about you!” Keilamarita said.
“Oh you guys! You knew I’d be alright!”
“Yeah I suppose It is Brittany, so confident!”
“Yep I’m fine! Just hungry!” Brittany replied, “Anyone got anymore food?”
Everyone cracked up laughing. We all had, had a fun, scary and exciting day!

Hey!We have being learning Spanish at the moment at school.We are also getting into netball season with Tracey(our coach),Tessa,Brittany,Keilamarita,Elizabeth and our new players Melody,And Shannon.

Young Man Rises from the Dead

Just this morning Jesus was witnessed walking around after he had just been hung on a cross and put in a tomb for 3 days. Some women went to see Jesus in his tomb, but he was gone. The women went to tell the apostles but they did not believe him at first.
However, one apostle named Thomas said that he had since seen Jesus himself and that all the people who loved him are glad that he is alive.

We have being doing a unit at school on water.
We had to make up a acrostic poem.
Here is mine:

Waves crashing loudly on the sand
As the lakes are cool and calm
Tsunamis crash the building down
Every living thing needs water
Rapids rushing down the river
