Lost traveller

Once upon a time there was a brave strong man could Michael . He had travelled from Peru to Antarctica it had taken him 7 months to get there. when he got there he knew it was going to be freezing cold so Michael had put on 5 big jacket. He had know where to sleep so Michael went and looked for something so he can build him a house Michael found a lots of things to make his house.

He had had finish building his house just before it was going to be night time at Antarctica. he had got in his cave house. on his second day in Antarctica he had got chased by a sea bird the sea birds were trying to peck him. Then he was lucky because he bring some food from where he travelled from.

Then Michael went into his cave house because he was so cold that he thought he was in the fridge. Then he went and look for some food to eat he saw some fish he jumped in the water and  got that fish with his hand so when he was out of the water he got a stick then he killed it with a stick.

He was lucky because there were scientist there to test out drill because they want to see how old the icebergs and how the wildlife is they came in a boats. Michael saw the boats going past his cave house then he was running after it and waving for help then they saw him and stop the boat and that the end of my story.

Rippa Rugby

On saturday we were representing our school by going to eden park because we were the champs of eastern Auckland. Then we had to meet at school so we can go in the 2 vans as soon as we got there I was amazed because that was my only time I have been to eden park. We had to go and wait there for a few minutes so when our coach came we went and we had to show our tickets to the people who were waiting.

Then on the speakers told that us and holy cross and point england is versing each other when we had to go I was nervous. When they tapped the ball we run up as a team so one person runs up then two people backing him up because if he doesn't rip his tag off then the back ups will get him. Then they were starting to score tries then we scored tries it was over the points were 5 to 2 we had lost our first game.

Then we had play on the real eden park. Then they said to us whoever wins they would come third so then we played hard as we could. When the beeped the buzzer we tapped the ball and ran and passed it to our winger then we gotta try the buzzer rang again then the game was over the point was 4 point to zero.

At Eden park the whole team enjoyed going there because they liked playing and watching the blues game. my favourite person who I liked seeing was Rene ranger because was like a rocket ship he bumped of James o’connor. The End

Voyage to the cold south

Antarctica

Did you know that Antarctica is the largest desert in the world for those of you in the world that don’t know now you. It is the coldest place on earth I think it is 100 degrees out there. Did you know that the icebergs are calved by the wind when it is very windy out there.

In Antarctica you would find a lot of wildlife like the leopard seals if they find a penguin by it self on a iceberg they will trap it then the seals will make big waves so it can fall off. Then they will eat it to pieces.did you know that emperors are named after the French first explorers wife.
