My fav part in camp

Exploring Te Papa
We walked in side . I went wow! This is big. I wonder how long it will take to walk around this place. I was excited to go and have a look.
I didn’t expect to see the giant ammonite shell first. It is from under the sea.
As soon as we walked in to the area that taught us about the earth we tried lifting all of the different rocks. They were from different parts of the earth. The heaviest was the iron because it is from deep underground. This is where it is the hottest.
The next place we walked into we had to find New Zealand on the big world globe. I felt excited because it was the biggest globe that I have even seen.
I liked the earthquake house. The earthquake house was like a pretend house. We stood in it behind some bars and watched a bit of the news telling us about earthquakes. Then the house started shaking. It shook like a real earthquake. It gave me a fright because I didn’t know it was going to shake.
I liked seeing the bird hanging from the ceiling. It looked like it was actually flying. It was a type of eagle.
I liked it when we saw the tin cow. You know how you get food in tins. They made a bull out of these cans. It made me want to buy it because it was shiny and cool.
My favourite part in the whole museum was seeing the possums and fake trees.
The possums hang in the tree like the Apiti possums.

The Lucky Escape
Once upon a time, there were two little boys, Tyler and Derek. They were hunting pigs in bush in the valley. It was dark and spooky, with branches cracking and vines swirling because of the wind. They were looking through their binoculars and suddenly they saw a young boar with no tusks rooting for bugs and mushrooms.
They carefully sneaked through the bush. Suddenly Tyler snapped a branch and the boar looked up and saw us. The boar jogged off. We started chasing it. It ran into the middle of nowhere.
The boys stopped and stared at the creaking bridge while the pig ran over it. On the other side was a stone castle that was falling down. The pig ran across the slimy bridge and into old castle. Into the castle it went. The boys heard a scream in the creepy castle.  When Tyler and Derek walked in they heard a creak. The creak came from inside. Tyler  jumped back, looked up and  then heard another creak. They tip toed along and then split up. Derek walked up the stairs and there were four eyes and Derek jumped over. Tyler saw a hole in the floor and fell in. He screamed!
This is the story Derek told ...
I looked back. I  wondered where Tyler was.
“He must have taken a turn,” I thought. “No wait, that hole wasn’t there. Tyler must have fallen down. There must been a missing board.”
I heard a sream then it went quite.I turn my torch on and slowly climbed down through the hole. Below the hole was a big hallway. I walked down the hallway. It was scary because spiders crawled on the wall and it was smokey meaning you could not see well. The hallway kept on going and going. I felt  along the wall and looked up. It was dark and smokey behind me. But there was a wall behind me. It was slimy like a frog or a snail had moved all over it.
I heard a squeal down the hallway. It felt like a pig squealing. Then I heard Tyler scream, “HELP!”
I sprint down the hallway, listening to where the scream came from.  When I heard it again it was around the corner.
Suddenly I thought I had my torch with me... but I must have dropped it while I was coming down the hallway.  Without a  torch I couldn’t see well so I was running along touching the wall.
Suddenly I spotted a pig tied up.  I thought Tyler had done it but then I realised that we hadn’t carried rope!
As I looked further down the hall I saw a witch trying to tie Tyler up. I grabbed a stick, sprinted to Tyler and pushed her away. Then I saw a knife. Tyler was half tied up.
“I’d better grab the knife and cut him loose!”
I freed him and we made a run for the door.  We got outside and saw the road.  We ran toward the road.
In the distance we heard a car.  We sprinted toward the road.  We watched the car turn into a driveway. We followed the car into the driveway to get a phone to ring home.
