The Hatchet
Over the first term we have been reading a book called the hatchet. It is all about a boy named brian who was visiting his dad in Canada when his plan crashed into a lake in the middle of nowhere. He makes a shelter, catches his food and leans to fight for himself. He is lost in the bush next to a lake with a dead pilot still strap into the plane. He finds the survival pack, finds an emergency beacon and calls for help. He gets home safely and lives a happy life.

Norm Hewitt
Yesterday (26 march) norm Hewitt came to our school and talk
to us about his life and about animal cruelty on behalf of the SPCA (Society
for the Prevention on Animals). He is also an ex-all black the best rugby team
in the world. It was well worth going to, he inspired me to follow my dream and
never give up.

camp poem
In front of me I see a row of native trees.
In the distance I see a great thick
forest.
Above me I see the great burning sun
as it beams down on me.
Below me I feel the hard ground as it
scratches my legs
I can hear the vehicles way out in
the distance
I can smell the fresh air as it fills
my nose
I can tastes the crunchy sand as it
gets stuck in my teeth
It makes me feel like I am free boy.

war scences poem
Waiting
Young, scared kids fleeing with terror.
Thick, dense smoke fills my nose as I quietly wait until the time is right.
Gun shells clanging against solid, hard ground.
Burning, sweltering heat from the hot, deadly explosions just metres ahead of me.
Black charcoal grinds through my chipped, unbrushed teeth.
I think that if I make it out alive I will be the luckiest soldier on earth.
