Fa'amanau & Marcus - Korowai Recount

One night I went camping with a couple of friends. I needed to make a number 1 so I went behind the bushes and saw a seed. I planted the seed and it grew into a ngaio tree. It grew so quickly it didn’t even need water or sunlight to make it grow. There was a magical fairy telling me to climb it, I was really confused so I turned and went back to the tent. As I was going to the tent the fairy whispered in my ear and told me the tree will surprise me. So I decided to climb the tree and when I got there all I saw was a korowai a cloak. The fairy told me to put it on, as I went to put it on I felt stronger and healthier. When I went to shake the fairy's hand I squashed her hand. The cloak gave me power of Rona and Marama. The cloak smelled old and it felt rusty. As I went to climb back down the tree the fairy told me I was the chosen one. I felt really happy and special. I used my power for good.

Marcus - Desert five sences



desertSee:I can see the scorching heat shining bright. I can see the sand slowly sinking. I can see a lake with a coconut tree.
Smell  I can smell my burning flesh. I can smell the cactus near by. I can smell the stink of the sand.

Taste: I can taste the Sun's heat. I can taste the nectar from a catai. I can taste the last drop of water from miles away
Hear: I can hear the sizzle coming out of the sand. I can hear every foot step I make because of the sand. I can hear the wind blowing through the desert.


Touch:  I can touch the hot sand. I can feel the heat on my arms and legs. I can touch the cactus spikes.  

This is a google doc that show the five scene's in this photo. WALT: write imaginatively.

Marcus - Rangitoto recount

School
On Thursday 11th June some TPS students went to Rangitoto. It was most of the year 7’s 6’s and 5’s. We put our kidscan warriors jackets on if it rained and because it was cold. We were told to stand up in our class lines.
   
Bus Ride
We walked out of school to the two busses waiting. The year 7’s got a bus to themselves. The bus driver was annoyed by our singing james and fa’a sang ABC and the girls sang a song that I don't know. after hours of torture we reached the cloud.

Boat Ride
We sat down on the ground while Misses Fepuleai was explaining what we were gonna do. we got a little board so we played pukana. we went inside and played chess, ping pong, badminton and Chopsticks. then we lined up into our class lines. We went on the boat(ferry). when we were on the boat we had bars and raw nuts with water. The engine started and we were turning. We saw the waves crashing against the boat. Pio threw up halfway but then he felt better. As we got closer we saw the black lava rocks, Wrecked houses. The boat stop at the rangitoto.

Walking
The teachers made us get into our class lines while a man explained what we were gonna do. Andre Bruce and I was put into a group with a man named nick. we walked up the hill and turned left. we followed the group in the front till they went the wrong way we tried to go without them but Andre called out to them. We walked and walked and walked my legs were gonna come of. Reaching the top felt like 100,000 tonnes came of my shoulders. I felt like I was the only one tired because when I was sitting they all ran to the house on top and the edges of the summit.
