6 Hats Current Event

Yesterday, our teacher emailed my reading group (Quiksilver) a Google Slide. Our job was to copy the Slide, choose a News site, pick an article, read it, and fill the details on our slide. My one was based in a tsunami that happened in Japan. It was really fun reading interesting reading about things that really happened  and putting the details on a Slide.

Camp

FlaxRock

I smashed the big, grey door open and rushed out my father's car. Everyone else in the kinda old grey car slammed the other doors and rushed out too. My friends and I were running around all crazy, making my father having to stop us many times. 

We finally got to walk into the big room, with a cool, brown Maori gate. We walked in the the white, echoey room, and found ourselfs rushing straight to a pair of cool coloured ornaments. I loved the colours and the shape of the soft, comfy ornaments... They looked exactly like the Google Chrome Icon! 

My father, my car group (Tylor, Sapphire and Ashley) and I sat down for about a minute, waiting for the other SUPER SLOW people from the Camp Master Chef. Suddenly, kids rushed right onto the Chrome Ornaments. Everyone shuved me off the awesome seats. "MY CHROME SEAT!!!" I screamed in my head, wanting my seat back.

Suddenly, Mrs Hardaker walked in and yelled, "Everyone, please line up in front of me." So everyone rushed to Mrs Hardaker, forgetting that the room is really echoey. The noise was a nightmare!!! Mrs Hardaker kinda rushed to some sort of hallway.

 It seemed like a little maze! We suddenly found ourselfs walking into a humangus room filled with brown rocks all over the wall, almost like 50 meters high! We all sat down on wooden seats, and a friendly man walked in front of us, and introduced himself. His name was Aren. After that, he told us some rules about FlaxRock.

Then, he told the parents to call the smallest to biggest kids to put on a special strap thingy that looked like underwear. After that, we sat down and waited, again, to be told to climb. Suddenly, all the parents chose a wall and stood in front of it, with the thingy that looks like underwear on too, of course! After that, Mrs Hardaker choose people to go behind parents ready to climb.

We didn't get to choose, so I moved around the seat, wanting to go behind my dad. A second later, I was behiind my dad! A few seconds after that, we could begin climbing! I was first in line, I think. A clipped the rope to my Rock Climbing Underwear and started climbing. One rock later, I could feel fear swirling all around me. I couldn't do it!

It was too high to climb. I looked down, seeing millions of faces staring up at me. Suddenly, I made it! I reached the top. I felt a mix of happiness and fear. I looked down once again. I was 100 meters high I thought. 

I could hear cheering and clapping going all around FlaxRock. But then, I remembered the worst bit... I had to lean back until it looked like I was lying down! I should of remembered! "I don't want to!" I yelled. Suddenly, I felt the rope coming down. BUMP! I fell to the ground. Then, I walked to the next wall, and the next and the next. It was so freaky!

It was so fun there, i wanted to stay for the whole entire day! I hope I get to go there, it was so fun I never wanted to leave.
