Sewell Peak

By Anonymous -
Sewell Peak was a metaphoric introduction for all the year 10’s into NCEA for next year. It is saying that going through level 1,2,3 will be challenging but once you make it to the end it will all be worth it, all the pain, sweat and tears that were shed were all for a good reason.

Once we started the walk we all knew what we were heading into, a steep hill with a good view at the top and we all knew that we were going to struggle going up. But I found that if you don’t focus on the pain and just look at the nature around you, you will enjoy the walk and find it more of a brisk walk than a challenging hike. At the bottom of the walk we found that the trees were really diverse and were going to different heights but as we got higher the trees started to deplete and become more shorter and than becoming shrubs and bushes. The walk up to the top took around 3 hours and when we got to the top we knew that we had done well. We got a meal from the Mayor and got photos from the top, we could see everything from Black ball to Grey mouth. The tree tops spanned from below us to all around the land reminding us that we do live in a rain forest. But then, As we were deciding to head back down a kea came and congratulated us on our achievement.

    Great vocabulary and linking between NCEA and the walk. Also good job on not being lazy and actually putting a picture in.

My Holiday Incident

One fine and hot day I was going to eat lunch and then mow the lawn. But then I went all lethargic and fell on the ground. My mom was trying to talk to me but I was not responding to her. My mom went to the phone and rang the doctors and they said to go to the hospital. So she rang the hospital and they came over to our house. They finger pricked me and tried to talk to me but I still didn't respond to them. They took me to the ambulance and I got a ride in it. I felt really terrified and scared like mad when I hopped into the ambulance and my hart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to blow up. It was not long until we got to the hospital. They put me on a wheelchair and took me to a bed and the doctors gave me a headache tablet and I went to sleep for 4 hours and then I woke up and they gave me some food to eat. I had mash potatoes with gravy and peas with meat. For pudding I had ice cream. The nurse came and made me walk to see if I would of went wobbly and if I
