Title:The Wolves
Deep throughout the woods on a humid sunny afternoon. A little girl with brown hair along with green eyes named Koda got sent off to pick blueberries for her family. Quickly she set off for the berries. As she walked off an old man named Feddie with snow white hair, with bright turquoise eyes was enjoying a cup of tea just before getting ready to journey out deep in the woods to collect firewood. Meanwhile Koda was jogging away deeper in the woods searching for a good blueberry plant. Koda spotted a nice blueberry plant appearing in the distance when she finished picking the blueberries she saw an animal. It turned out to be a WOLF with raf gray fur and red eyes. Koda had fallen into its den.
Koda was terrified of wolves, Her heart froze, Koda’s mind went blank. When her memory went back and she tried to think of something quick a couple seconds later she finally thought of something. Running away wouldn’t be a good idea however it was the only thing she could think of. Koda dropped all her blueberries and started sprinting away. She stopped because there was a hole and the wolf casually went closer. Koda started yelling “help!!! help!!!”
Now there was another problem: she got exhausted. She had been in the exact same spot for two whole minutes. Then she realized that the whole time she could have just gone on the other side of the hole that she had been standing by for almost three minutes. Koda decided it was a fantastic idea and it worked when the wolf fell into the whole. Half an hour later she heard a weird sound that she thought was a chain saw so Koda followed the noise. It turned out to be Freddie collecting his firewood. Freddie asked Koda “do you want to come home with me?” Koda replied “absolutely.” She never told anyone what she had been through.

WALT: Express myself in Narrative Writing
As the sun slowly set, two girls Ruby and Cj were calibrating new years by taking a bus ride deep in a dark green Jungle. They were two best friends. Cj had dark brown hair and when she was in the sunlight it turned a golden colour. Cj had dark brown eyes that looked like black, Ruby had ginger hair with blue eyes Ruby was allergic to strawberries so Cj tried not to eat them. As they went into the bus and looked at the man driving the bus they both knew by the look he was cranky his name was Jake and he had black hair, they couldn’t see his eyes because his hair covered them. Five hours later they arrived in the Jungle for a walk then headed back to the bus and carried on their journey. Ruby leaped out of the bus and started to jog. Cj slowly followed her. When they decided to turn around they had a quick snack, but when they got back Jake put the pedal to the mettle leaving them behind. It was because he saw a red dragon coming.
Lost
“What the” cried Cj “Where lost and he left us behind?” Ruby and Cj had to find their way back, They were both angry and confused why he left. Ruby suggested “I’ll collect food and you make a shouter that will keep us through the night.” When Ruby returned to the camp site with the food it was still sunset, They both weren't looking forward to the night. Ten hours later both Ruby and Cj woke up by a howling sound that spoucked them both out the sound got louder and louder Ruby wispeard “there's a animal bigger than an elephant looking at us?” Cj replied with “It's a dragon.” Cj went to pat the dragon but it didn’t bite her. Ruby and Cj were shocked “It didn’t bite her?” Wondering Ruby in Cj’s mind she thought “Is this a dream?” The dragon was very curious Ruby jumped on it’s back. Then Cj, The dragon flew off Cj yelled “Ruby I think I should steer because I can ride a horse!!!”
Then Ruby switched sides; she spotted the town they lived in and told Cj “Stop!” The dragon dashed to the ground and they hopped off the dragon flew away then Ruby and Cj lived happily ever after.

ZM L2 Back To School
09.09.21
WALT:Describe how I'm feeling about L2 back to school.
This morning, I woke up at 6:30am excited to see my friends at school. I made Mum and Dad a cup of coffee and Dad told me “It's school today” and I replied “It's work today!” Mum butted in to say “You should get dressed?” I replied “Okay.” I went to my room and got dressed. Next I mumbled to Jake “I woke in the middle of night because you were sleep talking about covid” after that he was speechless so he walked away as slow as a sloth trying to make a comeback. I ran into the lounge to make lunch. I heard Toby moaning because he had to clean his room (he didn’t). At 7:40am I leaped into the car without breakfast. Jake sulked to the car.
When Mum dropped me off at the school drop off as soon as mum hit the brakes I sprinted off saying “Bye!” When I finally put a step on the classroom deck, Alani came running at me and started saying what she’s been doing. But I had no interest in what she was saying and I told her the stuff I've been doing. We raced off to the playground to wait for the bell to ring. We went on the monorail and the slides, the bell finally rang and we shot off to class.
In class Mrs Jujnovich was doing the roll and got interrupted by sir saying things about school then when Sir finished Mrs Jujnovich carried on with the roll so we could do karakia and mihi. Nico recited karakia and mihi did mihi Alani, Grace and Lucy did waiata starters. Next we did writing so we can be Golden Child. We were writing for about one hour. We jogged to the court for Golden Child then got into two groups. I was put into group one the first round team one won, The second time but the last time team two did.
The thing I enjoyed the most was seeing my friends because I hadn't seen them in three weeks.
