My Narative

I'm stuck here, sitting in a lonely garden shed wondering how I stuffed my life up. I had a lovely family, I had a nice house. But no!! I am the 18 year old wanted fugitive on the run from the cops trying to clear my name.I was charged for the murder of my uncle and sister when it wasn't me. 

Part 1: My Story.

Back in January, I was on my way back from school when, a sudden gun shot pierced my ears. It came from our house. Naturally, I raced in to the aid of my Uncle and Sister, not even thinking of the danger I was in. Straight away i heard the cry y little sister, cristle clear tears started to burn my eyes. My eyes lock onto her as i find her lifeless on the bedroom floor.The cops turn up out of the dark city night, sirens blaring, suddenly the cry of my mother booms over the sound of the sirens. She races to the aid of Gabbie.
"Cal'!!! she screamed. But I had already left the danger zone, out the window and far away, I couldn't let them see me, I had blood on my hands, they would think I had done it and "BANG"! My life had suddenly dissapered.

Year 7-8 camp

With the billy stew cooking nicely over the burning fire, the four of us stripped into our togs and galloped down to the Amazon river, even though it felt like we were in the Antarctic. With the supervision of Mrs Fielder and Mrs Ilton following slowly behind us we all stepped foot in the water and instantly jumped out. As we found that the current was far too strong to swim in, we rediscussed our plan.
After five minutes of examining the water, we decided together that it was alright. So suddenly I jumped into the water with great awareness of what could happen. With my body fully emerged in the water in the ice cold water, I started my quest to get to the other side.

Skiing Story.

As the  flower like powder caught my eye, I rush to the rental gear shed and grabed what I needed. Once completed, I charge over to Mrs Cumming like a mad man and beg her for my lift pass.

Rugby Vocab writing.

1. When I wake up with a rush of excitement, I come to know that it is time for an aggressive, gut wrenching game of the best sport on the planet.
2. The time had come on the day we all look forward to.
3. As excited as I was, I finished with a body covered in minor cuts and bruises after a game of running, sliding and and hard out ruggers.
4. But the next best thing was that after we bust through the doors of the busy bakery, the family rushes to the cabinets and grabs a great big feed that is sure to release a delightful feeling of self reward.
5. Now it was time to wait another seven days until the game comes back round again ready to be tested by the best,

My Speech!! :)

Intro:
I have come to share the man with you today, who I believe, inspires me most to realise what is possible and to know I can make things happen. This high achieving New Zealander grew up a shy boy on the outskirts of Auckland in a small country town by the name of "Tuakau". His Dad owned a small block of land on which he raised a half a dozen cows and a large vegetable garden. Let me introduce you to, Sir Edmund Hillary. 

Point 1: Passion for Ed's climbing.
He discovered his passion for climbing once returning from a school tramping trip to Mt Ruapehu. This was the beginning of an interest that was to last a lifetime. But what was the first thing Edmund Hillary was going to conquer? Hillary is known throughout the world as the first person to step foot on the summit of Mt Everest, the highest point on earth. But the climbing of this colossal mountain in 1953, was only one of the many adventures and achievements of Sir Ed's busy life. 

Point 2: Climbing the mountain itself.
Standing at 29,035 feet, that's 8,850 meters, Mount Everest, also known in Tibet as Chomolungma, is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas
In 1953 a British climber "John Hunt" led the expedition of 400 people to climb the 8,850 meters of MT Everest. Starting on April 13 from the base camp at 5,364 meters they set up seven camps until on May 26, the first team made a final attempt to reach the top. They failed 100 metres short from the top, but Hillary and Tenzing weren't finished yet. They set up a ninth and final camp at 8,504 meters and spent a cold, difficult night gasping for oxygen from the cylinders they were carrying. By this point, they were at such high altitude that some say that the air is too thin for a human to survive. In the morning they faced one more difficult wall of ice, and struggled up what in now known as the "Hillary step" before they stood on the summit of MT Everest at 11.30 am on May 29. This was the day that took New Zealand by wonder in what may have been the greatest achievements in NZ history.

Point 3: What happened next?
When they returned to New Zealand, Hillary and Tenzing were surprised to know they had become world famous. Many people thought that Everest was the last great human adventure on earth. Ed was knighted by Elisabeth the 2, the new queen, and became "Sir Edmund Hillary".  
But what happened next for Sir Ed?

CONCLUSION
Sir Edmund Hilary inspires me to conquer my fears and to believe in what is possible.
That I ... and you sitting before me can make history ... can make New Zealand proud.

Commonwealth games celebration.

Last Friday Apiti School was invited to Cheltenham school to have a fun, sporty day and celebrate the Glasgow Commonwealth games. Teachers and students of Cheltenham school recognized this as a great opportunity for all students to come together in a way everyone will have a great time and in which we would all have lots of fun. Some examples of these activityies are, Sprints, Shot put, Discuss, Gymnastics, Archery, and of course lots of FOOD and EXCITEMENT. I believe this was a great idea as students could get outside and stay fit and healthy.

Thank you to all teachers and Students of Cheltenham school for making it a day we would all remember.

Mr Mr Sunny Essay

Paragraph 1.

1. Mr Mr Sunny can never refuse a polite request. No matter how hard he trys, he will always be the Flargie hero to be around in case of an emergency. 2. This means that if he is asked politely, he may say yes to what ever it may be. 3. If anyone asks him for something, such as, "Can you please help me to choose a good book for me to read?" His two only answers would have to be, "Sure" or "I would love to help". 4. I believe this is a good strength to have as people can see that Mr Mr Sunny is a nice guy to go to for help. But sometimes you need to be careful to how you reply to a request. Because if you are not careful you could get yourself into big trouble.

Paragraph 2.

1. Mr Mr Sunny is a persistent guy that can always find time to help others out no matter what the occasion. 2. Persistent means that you are an ongoing, hardworking determand person that can make things work even if you are having a hard time or are running late for something. 3. For example, planning a party but don't have all of the food for your guest. So you go out to get some but realize that all of your friends are in need of desperate help. So you help them because you can't say no to a polite request and then find you are late for your party. Now you are determand to make it a night you will remember. 4. I think it is good to be persitant because I beleive you could acheive allot when you have a positive attitude.

Paragraph 3.

Passionate about rugby.


1.
As the sun rises,
I'm out of bed.
But only to hear,
"Get into your rugby gear!"

2.
I chuck on my shorts,
Slide in my socks. 
Jump in my boots,
"Ready to rock"

3.
We rock on in,
To Victoria park.
Find our team,
"Right ready to start"?

4. 
As we gather our team,
All fiery and mean.
We chuck on our jerseys,
Aiming not to stay clean.

5.
We warm up, 
Stretches are key.
Go for a team run,
Because teams, not just about me.

6.
We talk over our plan,
Rearing to go.
Time to start, 
"Lets go bro"

7.
We run on the field,
Behind our captain Kyle.
Ref blows his whistle,
This, is were it all begins.

Cable Car

As we witnessed the arrival of the the cable car, after 20 minutes of a grueling walk in splattering rain, we finally climbed aboard the cable car and were on our way to the Carters Observatory. As we each found a seat, we all heard a voice come from the drivers end of the car saying, “Everyone get comfortable and get ready for a nice relaxing ride up to your destination”.
At that moment each of us heard a screech as if we were on our way. We were in fact on our way and starting to climb a brutal ten minute climb to the top of the hill, to the Botanical Gardens and the Carters Observatory. About three minutes passed and we entered our first tunnel.
‘WOW, look at that, we are in a tunnel!’ I heard as Jackson and Derek pulled up against the window to examine the situation.
After five or so minutes we saw another car was approaching from above ours. We quickly changed tracks to let the other car go by on the way to the bottom of the hill.

Conspiracy 028

1 February
28 days to go.

Today was going to be a special day for the Sandbrook family, because today was the day of the big revealing of "Fisher the Rod", the best fishing rod in the history of fishing rods. I guess the description of this rod was, coushoned leather grips, thick unforgiving nylon and the rod was... well no one could actually describe this part. 
Anyway, the great revealing was held at the coloseum. Every one in the city, country and even the world would be there to pay millions on this one and only rod. 
The Mum of the familly was out to pick up her dress from the dry cleaners and Dad was out to buy some nice shoes. Everything thought so calm and quiet
