Folk Lore Poem

Hi Bloggers, today's blog post is going to be about my poem that I wrote this term about mountains and camping. We had to make a couplet poem which is when every last word of two lines rhyme together. We did this because we were about to go to camp at Mt Ruapehu. If you can't really see the words on the picture the words are below:

Folk Lore

The pale white snow

Has a shimmery white glow

Mountains reach up so high 

Towards the bright blue sky

The still peaceful quietness

Gives my heart this wildness

That made my heart want to soar

Forever like a princess in a folk lore

There were some difficulties during the process of making this poem. We didn't have a lot of time to make it and we had to colour it, write it, and publish it. It was kind of hard to make the sunset blend since we only had colouring pencils. But at the end everything was fine. The positives of this activity was that I concentrated more because we had so little time to do it.  Another good thing about the activity is that I learnt how to blend with colouring pencils. Overall I thought that this poem was very fun to make.

Camp

☃❄Hi Blog World! It's Joyce here again.⛄❆

Today this post is about our school camp at Mt Ruapehu. Camp was awesome! It was such a blast! In class we had to make a slideshow about the trip. There were some tasks to complete in the slideshow. My favourite part about making the slideshow was adding photos. Some photos were super funny that you might see during looking at my slideshow.

There were many challenges I had experience at camp like skiing, going on the chairlift and finding particular things in Hamilton Gardens. At Hamilton Garden we had a competition between all colour groups we were in. We had to find 25 particular things in the gardens. We came first and got chocolate bars. I also had some successes at camp as well. I could ski down Happy Valley very well and confidently. My ski instructor Rory was very funny. I went on the chairlifts and saw some spectacular view of the mountains. Going on the magic carpet (travellator) was cool. I didn't like it when the chairlift and magic carpet stopped in the middle. I nearly fell over on the magic carpet, but when the chairlift stopped at the highest point it was super scary because it would swing around. I thought I was going to fall off. My first tobogganing experience didn't go so good. I bumped someone off their tobogganing and crashed into a icy snow wall. I don't think I'm ever going on it ever again. Me and friend Dora also learnt the Universal Alphabet from our bus driver Royal. We can say it off by heart now. On the bus we even made some of our own alphabets. That was super fun. We stayed at The Park Hotel at National Park. In my room I had my friends Dora and Hilary. Dinner was very yummy. My favourite was the beef lasagne and brownies. They were so good. The trip to every stop we went to was quite a long bus ride but it didn't matter to me because that meant me and my friends could talk for longer.
