Candy Floss Clouds by Melissa

Tropical Island



As I burn my feet walking along the hot sand, under the bright sun I could see the waves clashing against a big rock. I could see tall coconut trees swishing through the wind as it drops coconuts onto the sand. As I walk over to get a coconut to hydrate me, I could hear birds chirping in the trees trying to feed their babies some fish. I crack the coconut open and drink the sweet milk inside it under an umbrella I found earlier.


I start staring at the clear water after it finishes a game of tackles with the rocks. The water was calmly moving towards me and I got a small glimpse of the sparkles in the water. I slowly began to fall asleep as the sun made me feel tired. I layed down and began to look at the blue sky thinking that the clouds were candy floss. Then I fell asleep.


Two hours later I woke up just when the sun was going down, stars began to shine and the moon began to show. Just before the time hit 8:00 pm, from a mile away into the ocean I could see a pack of dolphins doing tricks and flips.


After watching amazing entertainment I grabbed a piece of string tied to a hook, and started to fish. I hung the fishing line on a rock and went back to my small hut and created a small fire. While waiting for my fishing line to get a bite I went to look for a stick for my fish to be stabbed through. When I quickly came back I was just in time to get my fishing line and saw a fish bite it. I quickly pulled my string up and cooked the fish that I caught.


The next morning the sun rose and I heated up the leftover fish for breakfast. Then I decided to go for a long bush walk around the Island. I packed a bottle of cold water and a coconut for when I was hungry. Walking through the bushes of this island I left trace marks on the sand for me so I could find my way back to my hut. I saw amazing creatures and found a hammock. As I look down at my watch it was time for me to find my way back to my hut. On my way back the breeze flowing towards me made me feel a bit chilly. So I decided to jog all the way back to my hut.


As I arrived to my hut I saw some birds trying to pick the leftover fish near the fire. I just left the birds and hung my hammock up between two palm trees. I hopped onto the hammock and tried relaxing. A little while later I spotted a small rescue boat. I signaled them and they came towards me asking if I was alright when they were close. I told them I was fine. I then knew straight away I had to leave this tropical island of mine and I had to go home. I slowly packed my stuff onto the boat wondering if I would ever get a chance to come back here. But I had to leave to get back home to my family.

Sitting on the boat leaving this Island I was sad. I had a great time and didn't want to leave so soon. But maybe I guess it was just an amazing experience.

Chemical Reactions by Melissa

This term we have a new topic for writing. We are learning about Chemical reactions. Even though we have just started I already know a lot about chemical reactions. I think this topic is really exciting. This week I learnt that there are chemicals in everything. Putting two things or more together can create a chemical reaction. Such as putting mentos into a diet coke bottle (with coke inside it) can cause the liquid inside the coke to burst out of the bottle and create a little explosion. If you're interested to see what I am talking about, here is a link to the YouTube video of the soda and mentos explosion.

Pre 2015 Sports Camp by Melissa

Sports Camp 2015


Last year at Sports Camp was fun. There was a lot of encouragement and support. I think that this year I will be in most of the sports.  
I'm expecting this year to be a lot of fun, but not as much fun as it was last year because most of my friends won't be coming this year.
I'm expecting us to come 1st and to win more trophies than last year because we’re versing different schools then last year.
I’m hoping that we will be able to go on the water slide.
I'm expecting that we will be in all the sports for the finals, there will be more photos taken , and that there won't be any stealing.  
Sports camp to me is like a holiday and anyone that isn't coming they're missing out on a lot of fun.


Core values:
Sportsmanship
Teamwork
Respect
Encouragement
Discipline

If you see this Dragon By Melissa


Dragon on The Loose


“Hello, reporter Melissa from TV3 here. Updating news for this hour. We are live in Auckland City park. Citizens have said that a moment ago there was a furious and dangerous Dragon. Well this might sound confusing but it's true. He constantly attacked the playground while people were still passing through the park. While he was attacking the playground there were some witnesses. The witnesses described him as a huge, green, bulky, scaly and a fast dragon. In other words they said that the dragon looked like the Hulk’s pet. Here is a picture of what the dragon looks like.”

If you see this dragon, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
