A torment for touch

Running across the field I feel a rush of adrenaline course though my veins.
I felt fast and useful.
I felt like I was on top of the world.
We had a great team the worked well together we also always had each other's backs and had fun.
Funnily enough I hurt myself again.

Tekapo camp YR7

On  Wednesday 9 of August all the year 7 went to Tekapo. As soon as we got there we went for a walk which turned out to be an ice skating rink but really a frozen road. When we got back to the cabins we unpacked and got ready to go proper iceskating in all of our winter gear.
When we got to the iceskating rink we all spent about an  hour an half skating. It was awesome. We had so much fun but we soon had to go back to the cabins as we had to go skiing the next day.
When we woke up at about 6:00 in the morning and we had one hour to get ready for the 7/8 hours of skiing and then 1 hour at the hot pools so by the end of the day we were all worn out and slept well.
The next day we went snow tubing and I kicked Nina over the side. After this we had to go home I wish we had spent more time there as it was so fun and I will definitely be doing it again.

Have you ever woken up to the light being turned on? Well that's today. (3) although I'm normally first up my brother got me up today. he walked into my room as if he owned the place then he turned the bright light and woke me up. (22) Positively the worst day of my life! "Can't let me sleep can ya?" i said as I got up grumpily.

Undercover 100 word challenge

As the ancient door creaked open, she held her breath and closed her eyes. positive that these were the final minutes of her short life, she decided to turn and scamper. She panted as she searched down the freezing corridor, gasping for breath she came to a stand still. nowhere to go. she heard familiar footsteps stamping towards where she stood. she shuddered at the thought of who - or what - was coming. speeding up she ran for the door getting sick of this mission she wished she could stay at home watching TV, She is quitting when she gets home.

Types of Energy - complete the chart

Energy is due to position or movement of an object - Kinetic and Potential

Forms of energy	What is it?	Example?
Kinetic energy	Energy in movement	Ping pong ball, Cricket ball
Mechanical energy	Makes things move by workable moving part or parts	Wind up toy, scissors
Thermal energy	This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object.	Fire,
Magnetic energy	Energy from attraction of objects made of iron	the Earth's magnetic field and the starter in a car.
Electrical energy	the movement of electrical charges. Everything is made of atoms, which in turn are made of a positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons.	electricity and lightning.
Potential energy	Stored Energy
Gravitational energy	Energy stored in objects held above the earth’s surface	a pen sitting on your desk, a person on top of a building
Elastic energy	The potential mechanical energy stored in the configuration of a material.	Slingshot
Chemical energy	Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds	fire
Nuclear energy	The energy stored in the center of an atom	Nuclear power plant - provides electricity

Rail trail

I couldn’t stop thinking about how far it will be or will i be able to make it. The self doubts were getting to my head when i remembered I made it to the top of Corkscrew I can do this.

When we got to the motukarara rail trail on friday 24th of march I was dreading biking the whole way but we had to do it for fitness and a challenge.

Once we got there we unloaded the truck  and got into our gear we waited for the adult’s to arrive back and ate morning tea. When they got back wendy called a meeting.

After the self doubts past i look around all i can see are beautiful black swans swimming on a toxic lake. There was a slight breeze making the water ripple around me.

When we split into groups we were 2nd to last as we left the size of the group dwindled. It was a cruise ride to the halfway point where we had lunch.  

For lunch we climbed to the of a cliff and looked out over lake elsmere we spent about an hour eating lunch and exploring. When we were done eating we got on our bikes for a tiring final 8km. I could not feel my legs by the end of it.

Overall i don’t know why i was dreading it, it was fun and a challenge.

Memoir about my town - By Estelle

The town was usual enough, it had

A old hall with rickety old floor boards

A couple of play grounds the big one was at the school

And a small stone church that i never went to

My brother, our friends and I

Did what we do - Rode our bike around showing off, Made delicious treats like Mud Cakes, Choc chip cookies,  Pizza and lots of other yummy foods, Climbed to the tops of trees like we were running from the cops and stole our older brothers lollies just to annoy them.

Doing nothing important to anybody else
