YouMIc the fabulous writer STRIKES AGAIN!!

This is a piece of writing that YouMic crafted for the Altrusa writing competition.  Unfortunately we missed the deadline, but simply had to share this amazing piece.

The theme was 'When I saw it my life changed forever..."

PETRA 

When I saw it my life changed forever.  This was the day I’d waited for, for so long.  Massive walls towered above me, orange and red cliffs glowing as we journeyed under them.  Wandering between steep sharp rocks like the blade of a knights sword.   And then, after what seemed like hours I turned the final corner.  There in front of me was a huge gigantic building.  Enormous columns, stunning statues shimmering orange in the afternoon sun.  Beautiful carvings and patterns from thousands of years ago.  Dust was in my face and mouth was dry but I didn’t care.  This was amazing.  In fact it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen.  The magnificent Treasury of Petra.

A round of applause...for TioTK

This leaf that I am holding, smells like mud sinking into the green grass. 

The leaf is yellow on the inside and green outside.

The leaf is nearly hard as a rock. 

The inside is smooth as waves going boom on the sand.  

And the leaf has freckles (but they’re actually spots).

The stick under the leaf, it has scales.

It is old and crunchy.

Shrivelled up it looks burnt, but its just old and wrinkly

Spotty and dotty.

Matariki kites at Kirikiriroa Marae

Here are some pics from Wednesday where some of us learnt to make kites to help celebrate Matariki.  TomTam from our class got to go with them.  Check out our pics.

On Wednesday last week, me, Nicole, Emily, Mahjon and Mrs T went to Kirikiriroa Marae.  It was the  coolest day ever because I was chosen out of 600 students in KNS ever!

We started making kites which was the  coolest part.  It was made out of bamboo. Me and Mahjon were buddies. Nicole and Emily were  buddies  too. 

We started doing the kites. Me and Mahjon didn’t get it right. Nicole and Emily they got the hang of it. We did’t get the hang of it because we didn’t know what to do.  So Mahjon asked Matua Lee, the helper. We didn’t finish it on time because it was nearly the end of making kites.  

We were sitting with the Berkley School boys. The Hamilton Jr High School sang a song for the helpers to say thank you and Berkley School  boys and girls sang a song to say thank you.

What an awesome day!
