Rotoroa Trip

On Tuesday 14 November room 18, 19 and 20 went on a trip to Rotoroa island. Room 17 didnt go because they already went on monday.

 

I didn’t go to sleep because we had to get there by 6:45am to 7:00 am. I usually wake up at around 4:00 am because I have a lot to do. I arrived at school around 7:00 because I had to go to the bakery because I don’t usually eat breakfast so my dad took me to get breakfast. I just went and sat down on the concrete to make sure I had everything in my bag. We got on the bus at around 10 past 7.

 

The bus ride was about 2 hours because we had to go really far into the city. Although when we were on the bus I just listened to music. It was really loud so I couldn’t sleep. As soon as we got off the bus we had to clean our shoes to make sure and get rid of any seeds on our shoes. The dirt on my shoes was kind of hard but some of it came off.I didn’t know if i had been to the city before but i saw these big red gates that i remembered so i knew that i had been there before when i was younger. 

 

After everyone including the teachers and parent helpers cleaned their shoes we were told to put our bag in front of our legs while facing them. We were also told that a dog was going to inspect all our bags. I was nervous because I’m not the biggest fan of dogs. I was also nervous for another reason, not that I have anything bad, it’s actually because I have bacon in my bag and I know dogs like meat. Me and my friend, Xzandra-leigh thought it was gonna be a german shepherd, but it was just a small dog, I’m not sure what kind of dog breed it was though.When it was sniffing the teachers and parent helpers it went to miss Lavakula and started sniffing her bag.It even started pushing her bag over but i n the end there was nothing in her bag so it left.When it got up to check my bag the dog just went right past.

 

After waiting we finally got on the ferry.Since i was one of the first ones i went to the top but the boys got the best spot with the best view. I went to the back, there was a big table that you could put things like food on.When i sat down i had a snack. I had salad, a chocolate bun, popcorn and an apple.I also had a drink of water and I was really full.On the ferry it was so fun and the view was really pretty.The ferry took about an hour and a half to make it to Rotoroa island.

 

When we got to the island we had to go up a big mountain. When we got up there was a path for people to walk. When we went down the path we saw a little area that we could eat and refill our bottle at. We put our bags down then sat down and then a lady started talking about the instructions. We also had to split into groups. My group had 14 people. When my group and a few others went with the lady she told us to get into a line. We then had to call a number and I was number 14. My group went up to this mountain and the guide started telling us about the trees but I really thought it was boring.

 

We then started making our way up the mountain but it was honestly pretty easy, although a lot of people were falling behind because they said it was really hard. I ran up the hill and sat down to wait for the rest of my group. I then saw a really big bird in a tree, I forgot what it was though. When the teacher and the rest of the group finally made it up I got back up but the guide said that we could look at the big bird first so I took a few photos of it with my phone. Yes, we were allowed to bring our phones.We then went up the mountain and then we saw a little box for kiwis to grow up before being released into the wild.

 

We then went up a really big and steep mountain.Everyone was so slow behind me, i was running.We then had a sit down but we weren’t allowed to eat for some reason.We then continued walking a lot then we went past a wetland.It was pretty but it smelt like shi-AHEM-It didn’t smell the best.(gotta be family friendly).Anyways that went went to the museum, after that we went to the ladies bay and sat down for lunch.I was not hungry though so i just went down because we were allowed freetime.I just wrote Stray Kids everywhere in the sand on the beach.After that we had to split into our classes.Room 18 did rocksighting first then we had to write a message to the sea and the we used a magnifying glass to look at cool things we found on the beach.After that we went on the ferry and went back to the Auckland city then we got on the buses and went back to school.

Narrative writing

My name is Cassie i have black hair, dark brown eyes and im 5’3.Today I will be going to the rarest island ever.I will have to pack alot because it will take a long time to get there.I am going there on a plane and I got the S-CLASS seat.But first I took the plane to the edge of the world and turned into an astronaut and flew to the moon.I then got a piece of the moon and then went to the sun and got a piece on the sun.I saw a star so i grabbed it then went back to earth.I then went to a mine and got a skull, obsidian, ruby and a peridot.I finally got some cat fur and then went to turn them all into rings.I then went home to pack my suitcase.

I then went to my room and grabbed my Louis Vuitton suitcase.I then stuffed my house into my suitcase but realized i needed t take it out so I did.I then saw my classmate Dazzle mc Nazzle.He said tat everything i did didnt make sense but it totally did.Anyways after i finished I went to my kitchen and made some food.I was making tteokbokki, kimchi, takoyaki, taiyaki, onigiri and dango.For drinks I got coke, water, iced-coffee and bubble tea.Some products I got were were my toothbrush, toothpaste tabs and alot of skincare products.I also brought my phone, shoes and clothes.If you are wondering how I am getting there, im actually getting there in my camper van.Its basically a house but in a van.It has everything I need.It would take  whole week to get to the island.Theres food in my camper but i decided to make more because cooking is fun.I then ran my van into my class cause why not.I then left and spotted Raisha and Genesis.I then ran into them and red juice splatted everywhere.I asked them if the wanted to come but they just stayed silent so i just left.I then saw  a shop that sold ENhypen and Straykids albums, photo cards and their signatures.I bought everything in the store and then left.”한번 까딱하면, domino, domino””느껴져, 내 머린 daze, daze, daze””너 때문에 심장이 목말라 Like a fever, fever, fever, fever””별, 별, 별, 별, 별, 별, 별, 별”I played a total of eighty-four songs from my playlist and it kept looping.When I got there I say heaps of buildings.They all had different names like 2pm, Day6, Boy story, ITZY, NiziU, Xdinary heroes, Nmixx and VCHA.I met all the people inside and then i walked away while waving to them until i saw two huge mansions.They were home to Straykids and the other one was for TWICE.Im am literally Straykids biggest fan.I then found and abandoned house so i cleaned and fixed it.

I call it StayGene.I knew everyone there were Kpop idols.After furnishing my house.I then went on my journey but this is for a good cause.I then reached the main building.JYPentertainment, JYP is the boss of all the k-pop groups i just met and he runs the building and it was huge.I then auditioned to go inside and surprisingly i made it in.I went straight to the practice room and I saw seven other people.We all introduced ourselves and said we all auditioned and made it in.We were told we had to work together to perform fifteen songs.I chose Gods Menu, Maniac, Thunderous, Back door, S-class, Drunk-dazed, criminal love, chacone, Future perfect(pass the mic), Bite me, sugar rush ride, chasing that feeling, back for more, do it like that and good boy gone bad.After we practiced we then went out to perform and we nailed it.After we finished i went to my house and went on a walk after giving everyone a high five.I then saw Straykids and gave them the rings i made earlier.They were very happy.

I continued my walk and saw a huge lump and it looked really odd.I then got a shovel and dug it up.I hit something hard so i pushed the dirt away with my hands.I then saw a chest.I tried pulling it out but it was pretty heavy.Eventually I got it out and opened it and i was shocked.I the saw  every single Straykids and Enhyen albums, photocards and signatures.I was so happy and i put the chest under my bed and in the end it was the best.

Cross Country Run

Monday 18 September

 

“GO CASSIE! GO SARAH! GO GIRLS!!” That’s what I could hear as I was running. It was so fun I couldn’t stop smiling as the boys yelled at the top of their lungs. I was actually very encouraged when I could hear the boys screaming as loud as they could. It was so funny but SUPER encouraging to me. Other girls in the Rangi team even said they were so loud and funny it was encouraging. As the last girl made it to the finish line all the girls had to go back to the starting area and sit down to wait for the boys to run. For the girls there was a whistle but for the boys there was a whole blow horn.

 

Some of the girls sat down on the mats, some even sat on chairs and A LOT of people waited for the boys to make it around the corner so we could start yelling as loud as we could. As expected Gabriel was first to run around the corner then I am pretty sure it was Armani then Iverson to run. Me and Xzandra-Leigh were 100 percent the loudest but Xzandra-Leigh stopped cheering and she left me alone. But that didn’t stop me from screaming as loud as I possibly could. I told Sarah to join me in cheering the boys and she helped me. “GO GABRIEL! GO ARMANI! GO IVERSON!!”. Me and Sarah were yelling so much for them since they were the first ones around the corner.

 

A lot of other boys started to make it across to the corner side. Me and Sarah were cheering for everyone even if we weren’t friends with them or if we didn’t even talk. We and Sarah were screaming as we were cheering for everyone. We knew the boys cheered for us when we were running so of course we had to cheer as loud as we could. It was so fun and amazing. After like ten to thirty boys made it past the corner Gabriel made it to the finish line. I think he is very fast. But turns out the top three boys were in third place, Genesis, second was Iverson and first was Gabriel.

 

I think we started cross country training in about week one to four.We had been training for ages. Everyone was relieved and happy that there will be no more cross country training early in the morning. I liked running in the morning because it is very nice exercise. I usually run when I am at home but instead of just running I listen to music while running because it makes me more calm and being calm helps me to run further with less of a chance that I will stop. Whetu agrees that it is better to listen to music while running.

 

Running in school can sometimes be hard because there are sometimes children running in my way and pushing or there can be people walking on the sidewalks. Running in school is a tiny bit fun because I can run with my friends but when I am at home I just listen to music while running.

 

I love cross country but personally in my opinion I think that winning doesn’t take priority. To me, having fun and trying your best is definitely a priority. I’m not upset that I didn’t come first but next time I will definitely strive to be number one.

 

In conclusion, I think running is more fun at home than at school but it can be good at school depending on who I am running next to. I also think it is better to run while listening to music because it makes me calm.

Analyzing Questions!

Yesterday we had to choose three foods we thought were healthy and find out how much carbohydrate, protein and fat were in them.At school I chose grapes, octopus and kimchi.Since I am at home I was bored so I decided to do more foods that I thought were healthy.I did grapes, bibimbap, soba(dry and cooked), tteokbokki, octopus(raw and cooked), sturgeon eggs, salmon roes and kimchi.I was going to make more but I was actually very tired but I will try my best to upload more work:)
