Today room ten had there first orienteering, our instructors were Leon and Irene. First of all, we learned about all the controls and the symbols of the map. At the end we had a quiz on the symbols and controls, it was very difficult for me because I had remember a few. After we got split into two teams red and blue was a team and there instructor was Irene and yellow and green was with Leon, they gave out paper that had letters on then they gave each and one of us a first letter and we had to clip it. We Leon and Irene says go then we start looking for the next control and we ran clockwise. It was very enjoyable and next week we would be doing it in partner and we h would have our map.

Adventure Camp!!

Yahoo!! On the 15th of September 2013, was the year 7/8 camp. The students of Glenbrae went on an adventure to Great Barrier Island. Every student that had permission to go, they woke up at 5 o'clock and we meet at school with our teachers; Mrs Silva, Mrs Raj, Miss Elia and Miss Maruariki came as well on the trip. Then we travelled by bus to the wharf, then we travelled by a ferry boat to Great Barrier Island, and then we went by bus, again, to the campsite. I was so horrified when we went on the ferry boat and we also saw some dolphin. Once we got to the campsite we got meet our instructors; Jamie, Latesha, Fryer and Kristy. Next Jamie explain where the toilets, cabin and the where all the other thing are. Later then he asked us question about Great Barrier Island. What the different's between Auckland and Great Barrier Island? search and found out and see what it is.

My Holiday Recount!!

Woohoo!! I wonder if we are going to do something over the holiday? I asked myself as I was walking along to my bedroom to watch the television. Then my sister would called me to help her to straighten her hair and she would asked me if she should go wash her hair and I yelled at her “GO WASH YOUR HAIR” and she just kept on ask

ing me if she would go wash her hair and I said then when she came back from washing her hair and then I asked her Do you want me to straighten your hair now? she said no you have to wait until my hair is dry.

After that my dad would come back and he would tell us to get into the van and he would drive us to the shopping and when we get to the centre and he would ask us what we would like to eat and then we would go to pak'n'save to do the shopping list next we would go put some fuel into the van and we came back home and take all of the shopping and we put them in the cupboard.

Later when we finish the packing the shopping away then we fry pan some sausages and had that to eat with the hot chips and before we eat we had to wash our hands and pray for the food. Next my dad would be in the kitchen making his own food because he doesn’t like hot chips with sausages and we would all be eating in the kitchen while watching t.v.

Mia Having A Bad Dream!!

It was a dark cold night, and everyone was asleep in the house. Mia was so scared with fear. Mia does not know what to do. So Mia stepped out of bed and went down to the kitchen to grab a glass of cold icy juice. As Mia walked up to room it started raining and when Mia got to the door of her room it had stop raining and had stop lightning and thunder. Mia was SO scared that she had ran into her bed and she hid under her blanket and she blocked her ears so that she couldn't hear anything. Then Mia screamed and she got out of bed and she hid under the table.

After when the thunder and lightning stopped Mia ran to her brother Andrew’s room and she woke him up to go with her to the lounge and watch some TV and she goes and makes them a cup of Milo, you put the TV on for us and chose a cool channel that is not scary because Mia just finished having a bad scary night.

While Mia was watching TV with her brother Andrew, Mia was wondering why does it have to rain so hard in the dark, then Mia asked brother Andrew are you scared of lightning and thunder? she asked. Then someone came and stood at the door and she heard a knock Mia called out who is at the door? Mia yelled out they never said anything, but when she went to answer the door no one was there. The next morning she woke up and she ran to brother Andrew’s room and she said did I come wake you up last night? Andrew said no you never came and woke me up last night oh sorry think I must be dreaming.
