This week our reading tasks were based on Anzac Day. We had to fill out a slideshow after reading the book. My book was called Dawn Service. My favourite part was making the poppy field on Minecraft.

This week my friends came over for a 2 night sleepover well there parents were in New Plymouth!!! It was so fun. We did a lot of different stuff like going for walks, baking, capture the flag, card games, spotlight, video games, biking and making movies. We also walked to church. Some of my other friends from school also had a sleepover that weekend and we put letters in each others mail box!
It was meant to be just for 2 nights but their parents flight got cancled so they had to stay in New Plymouth for another night before they could fly to Christchurch and then drive to where there kids were staying. So my friends got to stay another night at my house! My sister, brothers and I got a day off school on Monday because it would be to hard for Mum to entertain them well Dad was at work and we were at school. It was AWESOME!!

Three weeks ago, on Tuseday the 4th of March my school and Kokatahi Kowhitirangai did swimming sports at the Hokitika Pool. I was really nervous at first but then when I started it was fine. I did 1 length freestyle, 2 lengths freestyle and 1 length back stroke. I got 2nd in 1 length freestyle, 2nd 2 lengths freestyle and 3rd in 1 length backstroke.
A couple weeks later Me and some other people from my school went to District swimming sports. There was a lot more people there. I did 1 length freestyle and 2 lengths freestyle and thought I was finished. Turns out I still had 1 length backstroke to do!

Finding Shelter
I crouched underneath a tree, scared stiff. I couldn’t move. Again I felt like my whole body had turned off. The only thing I could think of was who was that? It was now getting dark and I suddenly realised that I would have to either camp here for the night with nothing except what I was wearing or go back to camp with that voice in my ears. I decided to stay there for the night. I went deeper into the forest, looking for a sheltered spot to sleep. I looked for 5 – 10 minutes before I found one in a tree. There was a hole in the tree that was just big enough for me to sit in. I needed to make a fire but I was too exhausted. I sat in the tree trunk and fell asleep straight away.

In the holidays my friend Indi came to my house. We baked, went for a walk down the road, went to Tara’s house, made a hut and went on the tramp. I have made an animation about going on the tramp with Indi. It was a bit hard making everything out of shapes but I managed. I hope you enjoy!

“What do you want to do” I asked Anna. Anna came over to my house in the weekend and we were deciding what to do. We decided to do baking so we got out the cook books and fliped through the pages before we found a brownie that we decided to make. We got out all the ingredients and started to cut bautter and put sugar in the bowl, when Bella – my little sister who’s 4 – asked if she could help. We said that she could do the mixing. Once we had poured some of the ingredients into the bowl Bella started to mix it.
After we had put the mixture in the oven we told Dad that we were going on a walk, and we asked him if he could take the brownie out of the oven once it was done. We had got our shoes on and was about to walk out the door, when we heard rain on the roof! We took off our shoes and asked for Dads phone to play some music. We decided what music we wanted and started making up a dance to it. After we had practiced the dance a couple of times we showed Dad and my brothers. After we had cooled down Dad asked us if we wanted to play cops and robbers with him and my brothers. We said yes and we started to play.
Me and Anna did some awesome slides acidentily on the grass when we were getting chased, but it was soon time to for Anna to go home.

Chapter 2
I went into the trees a couple meters from where I had set up camp to look for some wood. Looking along the ground as I walked I suddenly saw a pile of wood on the dirt. I jogged over to it and started to pick it up. I had gotten most of the wood and was starting to walk back when I stopped. I shuddered. A chill went up my spine. “Come, come to me,” someone whispered from behind me. I dared not turn. I couldn’t do anything. It felt like my whole body had turned off. “Come, come,” the same voice whispered again. It was a dry, hoarse voice. Suddenly my body turned on again, and I ran. I ran and ran. Gorse bushes scraped across my face. The wind was now howling. The trees were now whispering. I stumbled and ran, blood running down my face. I felt the howling wind lash against my bleeding face, stinging the cuts, but I didn’t care. I had to run. I had to get away. Away from that hoarse, dry whisper. Finally, what felt like hours of running, I slowed my pace. I could hear my heart beating in my chest. The only thing that I could think of was who was that?

This week Ruma Kereru have been writing a story based on I Heard a Whisper But No One Was There. I have made up a title called The Mystery Of The Whisper. Here is my introduction and chapter 1…
Introduction
As I stumbled along blood running down my face, I turned around straining my eyes, looking… looking… looking… I felt the rough wind lashing against my face stinging the cuts, but I didn’t care. I had to run. I had to get away. Away from that hoarse, dry whisper. Finally, what felt like hours of running, I slowed my pace. I could hear my heart beating in my chest. The only thing that I could think of was who was that?
Chapter 1
As I walked through the bush trying to find a nice spot to camp I suddenly stopped in awe, staring in amazement. In front of me I saw a stream with fresh clear water trickling down it. To the right I saw a clearing with pine trees towering to the clouds around the clearing. There was soft dirt lying on the ground with some dried leaves on top. I knew where I was going to camp. Right here. I started setting up camp in the clearing. I had brought with me from home a small tent that was easy to set up. I was going to stay there for 2 nights and then go back home. I was so excited. It was evening once I had finished setting up camp and I felt like having dinner so I got out the cooked food that my Mum had insisted me on cooking first, but now it was cold so I decided to make a fire and start heating it up.
