Buddy writing-Cameron

The bridge was as tall as a mountain covering the path like an umbrella.The crabs looked like ants climbing the wall trying to get to the top.The wall looks prickly and scratchy.The snow on the road looked like icing sugar.there were no cars going under like there was people in the city.

The white leaves are like snow on the tree, as it stretches out it’s long thin branches. The tree was looking like a big white snow monster coming to attack me . The snow was creeping up the tree like a lion creeping up on it’s prey. The snow on the ground looked like a blanket of icing sugar. The sky looked like a milky way, but the patchy black and white looked like a storm was coming.

I choose descriptive picture writing.

I like my writing because its descriptive and I has lots of similes in it and the most descriptive one was The snow on the ground looked like a blanket of icing sugar.

I enjoyed Henare O’Keefe because he was really funny and he said that you can give without loving but can't love without giving.  I also enjoyed Joe, head boy of Hastings Boys High School because he inspired us to have fun, be there, choose your attitude and also make your mother a cup of tea. Joe said that you can make a difference even if it is 1 or 1000 you can make a difference the story about the boy who through the starfish and he through it  back in the water. Paora said to work hard, work smart and work together it really inspired me to do that and try hard in everything I do. Working together is better than working by yourself.

The big white horse looks like the snow on the top of the mountains.The tail is fluffy like the clouds in the sky.It likes to eat green, bright grass.The horse colourful like a rainbow in the sky.It looks like a horse skeleton with Its bonie legs standing on the grass.

Under the deep blue sea was a beautiful mermaid.Picking yellow petals that look like the bright yellow sun.Her tail looks like the bright grass and her fin looks like a leaf blowing on the tree.The rocks looking like the big blue sky.Her hair looks like an orange flower.

Descriptive writing

The elephant

As the sun rises behind the elephant it charges through the jungle barging through everything in its way. The elephant swinging his trunk like a swaying swing in the playground and Its ears flapping like birds wings flapping in the distance.The animals around the elephant like fish running away from the great white shark.

This term we are writing descriptive pieces.We are using figurative language.Here is an example from an image I choose.

Fishing day

My legs were shaking as I was running down stairs

To see my dad packing all the fishing gear I went to go help him pack my fishing rod it was all tangled with string and it took a long to to unscramble it and then put it into the boot of the car with all the other gear.

All my family sat in the car as we drove to my Aunty house to pick her up and all

her gear.We went to the raft and started putting our bait on the hook and wheeling our rods into the water.Then my dad had a wheel with string around it and through it as hard as he could we all sat down in our chair waiting until the fish  arrive.

Seconds swam by and then minutes finally my mum and dad caught a fish they were only small but it was alright.Next was my aunty she caught a larger one then my mum and dad.

Finally, I saw something swirling in the water it was a fish.

At St Mary's school all the seniors have their own Chromebooks we use them for our learning and search up photos or information about the subject we are doing.The chrome has all our reading,writing,presentation and sometimes we do maths on it as well.On presentation we can put photos and slide and make effects on it as well.

St Mary's school has got a bike track made out of limestone and has two other tracks called the pump track and the skills track the school has provided school bikes for big and small people.The bike track is a great track for little kids to learn how to bike and to have fun.

I think writing this report has been fun.
Next step for me is to put more information into each paragraph.

Everybody had a instrument when we went to the NZSO we had to learn about it.After that we had to write on a A4 piece about the instrument. Mine was the double bass .I was really happy that I got to do that instrument.It was really fun listening to the instruments and listening to all the different instruments.

My holidays

These holidays have been fun I went to village pools in Havelock North with my friends Joel and his brother Ephraim. First we had a swim we played on the wrestling pole for half an hour, after that we ate chicken and lettuce sandwiches and we had mountain dew, it was so delicious.

Next we had another swim the water was freezing cold so we brought a zombie chew that was from the counter and we lay in the shinning sun. My mum told us to put some sun block on before we go back into the water so we don't get sunburn then we jumped back into the pool and we did bombs, spins, flips, dives and we did manus. At the village there are three pools a large big pool for lanes, heated pool and a really deep pool my friend was a bit scared because it is deep and he cant swim but my other friend Joel could not swim but he wanted to play with me so we did at first he did not want to swim to the middle but he might of drowned so he just held on to the handlebar then he was not scared and he could swim to the middle of the pool but he need my help so we got a board for him.

After that we had another four hours of swimming. We did lots of cool things, we grabbed boards and jumped on them and then we made a long stepping stones with the boards and we ran across them and at the end me and my friend Joel jumped off the boards and dived in the pool It was really fun we did it lots of times. After that we went and got changed and had a little play in the park we played on the scooter and on the swing then my mum said to come on because we had to go back and drop my friends of at home and we had a really fun day together.

I think this is my favourite piece of writing because I put in 3 paragraphs and did not use (and) a lot.


My next step is to put more interesting and describing words in my writing.

The journey to the giant land

Aesops fables

The Dog and his reflections

One day a big dog had his large meat in his mouth for his dinner. The dog was walking around in the forest he saw another dog with a large meat in his mouth he smack it and tried to grab the meat from its mouth then as it tried to grab the meat his meat was still in his mouth then he dropped the meat into the river.


The moral is no one will believe a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

Navy Band

The Navy band was extremely fun we listened to the navy band it was really fun to watch some people even got to go up on stage there was a different kind of music that they played there was star wars,sponge bob and James bond that all that I knew.The Navy Band was at Napier theatre we travelled by bus.There were a variety of instruments like the Trumpet,drums and the piano.My friend Caden went on to the stage and did the can-can dance with a whole lot of other people on stage with Caden.

All about me

My name is Te Mana-Potiki I've been at St Mary's for 6 years and I am a year 7. Some of my favourite sports are basketball and also I like to do swimming lessons.I don't like playing cricket because its a little boring waiting for the ball to come your way and its boring waiting for your turn to bat. My favourite food is butter chicken, chicken wings. My favourite fizzy is fanta because it is sweet and its the best. Sometimes I like to play PlayStation 3 and play on the laptop.My favourite place in the world is Los Vegas but I wouldn't mind to travel around the world when I am older and when I have enough money to go on the plane.
