WALHT:Share our free writing on our hub blog 

We were getting our free writing book and chose one story. Then we published the story on our devices. We marked it against the blog rubric and then we posted it to the blog. I learnt to think more about how to edit and do my layout.

The haunted house

                                                                 One day a girl named Sarah and her family were going to camp. Everyone got to have their own big bag that they could put their camping gear in. Sarah was the smallest, so she got the smallest bag. She put in her torch and some toys. Sarah had a brother named Sam, her mum and dad. There would be two tents. Sam and dad would sleep in one and mum and Sarah were going in the other tent. They all got a sleeping bag. Sarah got a purple sleeping bag because purple was her favourite colour. Then they went in their car. Sarah was excited but scared at the same time. She was scared because when she would be sleeping there would be scary noises. But she was excited too because she loved campfires. When they finally arrived, Sarah helped mum to set up the tent. By the time it was night time she heard a laugh that sounded like a witch. She wanted to tell mum but mum was asleep. So she decided to go explore where the sound was coming from.When she decided to go it was dark and scary, but luckily she had a torch, because sheI knew, that she would go explore. The closer she got, the more clear and loud  she could hear the witchy soundI She saw a ginormous black house. She rubbed her eyes but it was still there. She went into the black house … she saw a witch and the witch saw her! She ran as fast as she could go and finally she went back to her tent and felt safe .

Athletics Day by Mia, Ashikka, Lily, and Rachel

by Mia.M, Ashikka, Lily and Rachel

In the morning year 0-2 did Athletics at Stonefields School. We do Athletics day because it helps us to keep us fit. Everyone has to do Athletics so no one has to do anything to enter it. We get split up into groups otherwise some people might miss out on doing the activities. The weather was cold and cloudy.

In high jump you need to have special equipment like poles and crash mats. High jump is also a very fun activity.

Divesh felt scared because he thought he might not land on the crash mat. Divesh also felt determined.

Zoe H from hub 9’s top tip for high jump was to do the same movement. Amy from hub 5/6 said she really liked the high jump.

Sprints is like running but you start from a different position. When you are sprinting you go into lanes.

If you go into a different lane you are disqualified. When you are sprinting you have to pump your hands as hard as you can. Tom from hub 5/6 came first in sprints.

Long jump is about jumping the furthest you can go. On long jump after you have jumped they will count you back foot and see how long you have gone. Manave came first in long jump and he is in hub 5/6. Blake’s top tip was to swing your arms before you jump. Bella from hub 9 said to push your feet of the ground. Zoe from hub 9 said she kind of liked the long jump. Macey from hub 5/6 loved the long jump because there was a sand pit that you got to jump in. Antonio felt good after long jump.

The Holidays by Rachel

In the holidays I went to China. First my family and me went to the airport, my uncle drove us to the airport. When they had checked our luggage and other stuff, we went in the airplane. It took  a long time. We were going to Hong Kong. When we got back it was very late.The reason we went to China is because we were visiting my family members. We got to go to Disneyland and it was really hot. There were a lot of rides. We got to watch a short movie in 4D. Overall my favourite ride was a ride that went really fast and went backward and forwards. My family and me watched a  Lion King movie but people were acting and when we got out it was around nighttime. We ate dinner at Disneyland. After we ate dinner we got to see the fireworks and then we left. We also went to a wedding. We got to eat dinner after the wedding. We went on a bus to drive us back to my  relatives house where my family and me were living when we were at Hong Kong. After we went to another place in China we stayed there longer than we did in Hong Kong. We stayed at my grandma’s and grandpa’s house. A lot of people invited us to have dinner and they were my mum’s friends and my dad’s friends.We also went to a science place with my auntie and cousin. There were loads of places, my favourite was the place where there were illusions. There was a mirror maze which was hard to get out of. There also was a short movie and it was in 4D. We got to far places by a train and some closer places we went by taxi. We went to a place to go swimming and we went with some other people. We went to a place where we could watch movies and we watched a movie and it was in 3D.The favourite place I went was Disneyland. At last we were going back. We had go to Hong Kong, then New Zealand.The ride to Hong Kong was short and the ride to New Zealand wasn’t because one of the engines wasn’t working so we had to stop at Sydney Airport and then we waited for the airplane to arrive and then we went back to New Zealand. I liked going to China.
