EOTC Recount

Long bay hike                



A fairly sized handful of students from rm7 & rm9 were crowded around Mrs Milne as they chattered away at Long Bay Beach. This was part of EOTC which for some was probably the most exciting day of the whole school year! We were just about to walk the Long Bay hike and we were all bursting with excitement to start! EOTC was to explore the outdoors so everything last week was pretty different compared to a normal school day.





Before we left for the hike Mrs Milne handed out checklists. We had to
take photos of things that we saw on the way with the ipad we were
Given and tick it after the photo was taken. We were in groups of four
with an adult each, in my group was Eliza, Elizabeth, Vivienne & me &
our parent was the one and only Mrs Milne! Personally, I was really
excited to see pukekos, a bird native to New Zealand and they were on
our list! I got Eliza to take a photo & I ticked them off our list. Then
we started looking for other things such as Vaughan house,
Rangitoto island, Tiritiri island, stock gates, Granny’s bay, a view of
Long Bay & a few other things. Vaughan house seemed very out
dated but it was built hundreds of years ago so I wasn’t very
surprised. We didn’t really travel to either Rangitoto Island or
Tiritiri island either, we just saw the view and took a Photo. When we got to Granny’s bay I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was so very pretty! I
heard the soft, calm waves, I smelt the salty sea. In fact the sea was
so salty that I could almost taste it! I felt the the golden sand flowing

through my fingertips, I thought that the fresh air was very soothing &
as I stood up to pose for photos, I felt calm & relaxed. After we had
Taken our photos, I said to Anita, this beach is beautiful, she

                                     agreed with me.

The blues) Charlotte


(The blues)

Physical

What looked like a cute cheeky bluebird was waiting in line to fling himself towards us, I was scared, a lot! As I was watching them, I noticed his two blue head feathers blowing around in the wind, I stared at his orange eye bags which made his eyes seem particularly small to me, I thought of myself owning a yellow beak like his, I would look terribly strange, I am a green pig after all! Just thinking about him was daunting, yet I almost wanted to laugh at his size! Then I thought to myself, how can only one little bluebird possibly beat us?

Abilities

A rather small bluebird hops up onto the slingshot, this bird is definitely underestimated. He aims for the glass, his strong point. Soon after that he’s zooming through the sky, his head feathers being pulled back by the passing wind. Suddenly, something amazing, impossible even, happened… One became three! Now the green pigs (our enemies) will have to deal with the triple threat! (Take that green pigs!) Now they're hitting the the wall! Unfortunately, one of the three blues has hit the wood! (Which is really bad :(


Personality

As three small cheeky bluebirds snuck around town at the stroke of midnight, in black ninja suits, with small black walkie talkies tucked into their belts, they heard some pigs snorting. (Shesh, when was their bedtime?!) They were on a stealth mission to find the missing eggs. When a pig guard saw them, it yawned while chasing them, but stopped when they crossed the bridge and ran away. The blues laughed when they saw the green pig sleeping because they thought it was hilarious!

6 sentence story




1)  Once upon a time there lived a bluebird called Kate & she lived with her family and friends.
2) Maleficent lived in a goldin catal next to a beautiful river in mayron city.
3) She could fly very fast all the way to the waterfall and have a drink.
4)  But it hadn't always been like this, because she was actually scared of the high bar once.
5)  But I think the mysterious man is lonely & sad because he doesént have any friends not to mention all the karate chops people have done to him.
6) The old wizard was so hungry he went to go open the fridge and there he found was his spell Abook.
