The Car Ride

The purpose of this writing is to show how I can shape my text for audience. In this poem I have tried to slow the pace of my writing. By carefully selecting line breaks and choosing words that show how bored I really was.

The car ride

Fields on all sides
Staring blankly at passing lines
Feeling like life has stopped moving.

Talking to your reflection on the window
Ignoring the sound of country music next to me.
My parents talking about finances.

Thinking of the place you're going.
Thinking if its going to be boring or not  
Arriving and thinking wow that was a boring ride.

Year 8 Camp

Year 8 camp a lot was fun we did lots of things like swimming, rafting, sliding, hiding, flying but my Favourite was the wall climbing.
It was terrifying  because I a afraid of heights but I loved  the adrenalin rush that it gave me.

Here is a picture of me doing the wall climbing:

My Favorit Pace to Swim

The Tire Swing Camp

The tire swing hung invitingly above the water.
There is a splendid hot spa that is like a steam bath. A TV room were you can watch movies in full H.D. You can also find that they have cabins as well as camping ground that you can sleep in.


Next to the river there is slippers on a old fairy tree that hangs lazily over the stream, the slippers looked like alligator feet, it is to keep little kids out of the water because the water is deep and people kayak down the river.


But my favourite thing that I like about the camp is the memories. How my cousins and I always went there, and how it was close to home so if we forgot something we could just go and get it, but the funniest thing is that my sister and I thought that it was far from home.

The Bug Man


  1. How the hole insect race affects the world
  2. The kingfisher poo comes straight out and the ants clean it up
  3. A ⅓ of our diet is affected by bees
  4. scorpions glow in UV torch
  5. To attract the Ulysses butterfly that lives 40 feet up in the air to the ground is to put the color blue on the ground and they come down to investigate it.
  6. Sloth's are so slow because they can only eat 1 leaf of the Cecropia so they slow down to preserve energy
  7. Kiwis have a big range on bugs they can eat
