Cailan's Camp Letter to John Paul
20 November 2018
Dear
John Paul
Thank you for being my secret buddy on camp. You did nice things without me even knowing.
I like the first car trip but not so much the last one. The first one was funny because of the
joke you made about every single driver getting their license out of a weetbix packet! It was
also funny having to stop every 5 minutes because of road works. The stop just before the rock
overpass was funny because when we were just about to drive pass the traffic light,
IT TURNED RED! Unbelievable! Alex Actually started crying.

When we got there and unpacked we did the Squawk Squad activity. During the activity I learnt
that there was a road up the back called the School Terrace and that it had the community
centre. Walking up and down those steps was very tiring. In the end we were able to save the
bird and be the first group to finish the activity.

Walking the tramp was exhausting! The tramp was tiring but fun at the same time. Carrying my
pack was easy. When we found that water on that dried up river I was so relieved. I dipped my
hat in it and I put it on because it was so hot. It was fun how the camp went all day, although it
did not feel like it. I didn’t like the bush bingo as much as the rest but it was a creative activity.

The games with Gemma were fun. My favorite game was the tug of war and the soccer but mostly
the tug of war because we got dragged on the ground by the girls. I swore they were cheating.
I also liked Chuck the Dino and Huckle Buckle. Thank you for getting the ball every time it went
over the fence.

Over all, thank you for helping the APOEC (Arthur’s Pass Outdoor Education Centre) leader and
driving us there.

Descriptive Writing - Abandoned Places
At the moment in class we have been working on descriptive writing. We have been using pictures to give us ideas of what to write about. here is a piece of writing I did.
Click here for a link to the original work.
The Abandoned Sandy House
As I step in the building I have the feel and smell of Dehydration.
It looks old, but when I walk in one of the rooms I hesitate as a beam of light
shines on my face. I see the dust in the room. I touch the door frame with
ripped off door hinges then I notice the paint on the door is fairly new but lots
of moss on the walls, then I hear what sounds like a storm outside.
it was a sandstorm.

it was a sandstorm.
At first I had no Idea what it was until it came though the house
I got a shiver down my spine. It carried the sand like a storm picking up leaves.
The sand pile was rising fast and I got a grind feeling on my teeth as sand
on my face like a wave. I covered my face as the sand had risen about 3
centimetres up my body. The sandstorm started to calm down and speed away
like a person doing sprints at athletes.

Now the dust was worse as it had ever been before. I started to cough,
I was thinking that there was no point in yelling help because there was no
one available. Coughing again I thought at least the storm was over. I walked
forward not noticing my legs where buried in sand forcing my body forward,
I pulled my legs out and climbed over the sand passing the beam of light that
was starting to go dark. I climb out the door going on to the cracked footpath
looking behind me at the house saying out loud to myself
“That was an adventure”.
