Recount - High Ropes - The Walking Of The Beam

High Ropes - The Walking Of The Beam

I was shaking as I check my harness for the 100th time. I was ready to go. As I took one step on ladder I was already afraid and I didn’t want to do it, but I heard people shouting “try your best you can do it”. I clamber up the ladder step by step and showed who was boss at high ropes. My heart was pumping fast as if I was running away from a Tiger. "Bang" went my left foot for the last step before going onto the beam. I put my left foot on the beam and then my right.

It was time to face the walking of the beam.I looked down and I was so high the the people looked very tiny like ants. I dawdled slowly as a snail that when I looked down at the beam I was stall at the same spot. I said to myself  “I can do this”. I took one massive step and strolled with a lot of sweat coming down. I closed my eyes as I was strolling through the beam. My legs were shivering hard like there was an Earthquake happening.

"You can open your eyes now" shouted the instructor". I opened my eyes. I was at the end of the beam. I felt relieved. I had to hug the supporter of beam. I hugged the beam and then I had to walk back. In my mind I was thinking of being the Tongan Ninja not being scared at doing things confidently. This time when I walked back I tried to walk with pride and confidence. I did some dance moves like the whip and nae nae. It was time to go down. I leaned back and pushed my feet against the beam hard and went down. Everybody clapped and took photos. As I came down I felt like going back up, but we weren't allowed to go again.

Today we had to write a short recount of what we enjoyed at camp. I wrote a recount about high ropes. High Ropes is a really fun activity. In this recount I have wrote how I felt. High ropes is the best activity I have done out of all the activities. Archery is another amazing activity that people like.

Making Connections

Making Connections

L.I. Identify connections text to text, text to world and text to self

Text to text	Text to world	Text to self
Something I have read or watched that is like this is...	Something I know about that is like this is	This is like something else I have done...
I have read a book called Never Give Up. I have read another book called Making The Team. They are both similar because both characters in both stories never give up playing rugby and both books are based on Rugby.	Something I know about rugby is that they have 15 players on the field. I also know that a try is five points and if you get the kick you earn two points.	As a New Zealander I like the text Never Give Up and also the Making The Team because these two books are based on my favorite sport (Rugby). I also like these books because both characters in both stories never give. Both character keep on trying there best and giving 100% of what they are doing.

Today for Reading Takahe group had to read a book called Never Give Up. After that we had to do our follow up task. For text to text I had to write another book that I read that is similar to Never Give Up. For text to world I had to write something I know about rugby. For text to self I had to write why as a New Zealander I like or not like the text Never Give Up. I have include pictures to it so people can read more of my work.
