Energetic Alisa Dragon
White, soft, beautiful scales
Bones and tuna all in one
Fire breathing, sniffles and grunting
Taste of chicken and beans mixed together
A soft sensation exploding in my hand

The Dragon Rock by P.B.
500 years ago, west of Hawaii, was a valley. The valley wasn’t just a piece of land it was a village with a GIANT rock, the rock was a dragon. Everyone knew it was a dragon, but they just treated it like it was a rock because it never moved. The dinosaur - like beast had fiery red scales that got browner every day. His slashed feet were as crumbled as an old mans skin. The dragon had a belly the colour of the sea. He had a giant nozzle the size of Jupiter with yucky brown rotten nostrils. This creature had the most disgusting toenails; they looked like witches fingernails that had not been cut in centuries.
The monster smelt like a rotten egg in Rotorua. His belly was so cold you wouldn’t have to put it in the freezer to cool it down, but his wings, back, tail and feet were warmer than the sun because he’d been lying in the sun for over 500 years. The sleeping dragon tasted like an off fish that’s dead. The fish- like taste was salty and raw. His tail was spiky, fat and the colour of ripe red apples, it was as bright as the sun on a lovely day.
In the valley there were beautiful playgrounds and wavy hills. The people were as kind as a Christian in the morning. The bees were as happy as a horse in a hayfield. The children were as playful as new born puppies. The children would run everywhere and the whole town would always be happy! The valley was filled with lovely trees, green, lush grass and a hot, hot sun that was always shining.
There was no rain for as long as the dragon had slept,the townsfolk had to wash clothes in old, dirty water from a little stream.They would travel days across the land just to get a bucket of stream water to last them a couple of weeks. That would be used for dishes, clothes and baths and other things.
But worst of all, each day because everything was hot, the people would get meaner and the children would get less happy and playful. The whole town became mean and nasty. If an emergency like this ever happened, the town had prepared a rhyme and it went like this:
Dragon, Dragon, help us please -
If you help we’ll let you be -
We need you to help us fix this mess –
Please help us it’s not a test.
But because everyone was so mean, they forgot about it. The days past while the dragon lay by the empty lake. Nothing would happen, not a sound, not a move. A week went by with no difference. Still the people were nasty. The days were still hot and the dragon was still ASLEEP! Everyone was still mad at the dragon. Nobody was proud, happy or joyful. They were all skinny eyed and sullen.
Meanwhile the children had a plan. They were walking around town quickly and quietly, nobody noticed them when they went to the drag0n. When they got to the dragon they realised how pretty he was. So they put all of the flowers that were left in a circle around him and then they sung the rhyme:
“Dragon Dragon, help us please -
If you help we’ll let you be -
We need you to help us fix this mess -
Please help us it’s not a test.”
They sang and sang until it worked, but they didn’t know it worked until...
An eye opened, and then one boy said, “It’s alive! Run everyone run” The whole town ran to the top of the hill and huddled for safety. Up got the dragon and away it went across the village destroying everything, but nobody cared they all thought it was amazing. The dragon felt something tickle his nose, he started to sneeze.
“Aahhhhh aahhhhh,” everyone was so amazed at the noise coming from the dragon. “Aahhhh aahhhhhh,” off he went again ready to let something out! “AahhhhChoooo!” Out flushed water from the dragon’s nose. There was so much it filled up the empty lake.
“Aahhhhh Chooo,” off he went again using his magic slobber to fill the sky with rainclouds so it would rain every now and again.
Now and for the rest of the dragons’ life in the village, he would always be believed in.

The amazing year 5 camp.
We had a great time on camp. We went to Sonshine ranch and the marae. At the marae we did skits ,poi ,weaving ,and hangi. The next day we went to Sonshine ranch, we went on the flying fox, water confidence and horse riding. At the marae we had a hangi, it looked like a blob of slop. The breakfast was dry and the pancakes were burnt and the MILO was watery. At Sonshine ranch the flying fox was so high and scary. The horse riding was fun but scary. The water course was very scary. It had tyre swings and two ropes, plus 1 rope and about 8 more on top. We had a great time.
Sonshine Ranch and Marae
When everyone arrived at school everyone was excited to go. I was patient. At 9:00 the bus was here. Everyone rushed to the bus, me too. I was over reacting my face was red.I almost forgot my camping bags.
When we arrived we did the hongi, it was awkward. Next we did activties at the end of the day, we did skits and I liked E.F and A.S. At 7:30 we went to bed, it was annoying because someones dad was snoring... he was out like a light bulb.
Next moning it was weird because the techers forced us to pack up quickly. It was lucky we had brakfast. I was tired because that man snored hard out.
Next we went to Sonshine ranch. We went to the flying fox and I was scared as a cat going in water. I started to get scared when they say go. C.S. go C.S. go C.S. I was crying a little bit. Next we went horse riding. My one was OP it was cool. I wanted to ride again but no, next we went to little animals. There were goats, rabbits, bunnies and a hamster. Next we had lunch and it was nice. After that we went to the water confidence.
The water was freezing cold but I didn't fall in once. Next we went back on the bus.
It was 30 minutes to go back to school and I fell asleep. We went back to school and I was tired. When we were back I went to after scool care and I played cricket with my frends calld M.B, W.C, R.C, C.M and at 5:12 my mum came. I told her everthing when we were back at home and I fell asleep again.

Steve Devine
On Friday Steve Devine came to our school. We played cricket and practised
throwing, batting and hitting the wicket as well as racing for the ball to hit the wicket. We played till about the bell went. When we were playing,
we took turns at throwing the ball at the wicket. When it hit the wicket
everyone would clap. We swapped over so that someone was batting and whoever got him out becams the batter. F.W. was the batter most of the time.
I was never the batter because I couldnt get anyone out. F.W. hit my ball
far away and I had to go get it and pass it to the next person. Once we finished at the batting station Steve called every one in and told us how well we had done. It was then home time. We went back to our classes and waited for the bell to ring then we went home, it was fun.

The two awesome days at camp!
Everyone on the bus was really excited to go to the marae. When we got there we went into the meeting house. We sat on the mat in the marae then we did hongies to the Maori people. After we sat down on the mat we did some activites. They were really fun to do and one of the fun activities was weaving. Then we went out side to see some plants. We saw where they cook the hangi. After that we had lunch on the field and we played games on the field. One of the ladys showed us around the marae then it was dinner, we had hangi for dinner, it was so yum! Then we had dessert it was apple crumble. After that we did skits and some of them were really funny then we went to bed. Later at night someone started snoring.
In the morning we had breakfast, then after breakfast we went on the bus to Sonshine ranch. When we got there we went on the flying fox, it was awesome! When C.S. was going to go on it he was too scared to go on it. After that we went horse riding. It was hard to control the horse and when I was riding my horse it farted and it was really funny. After that we saw some animals. The pig was talking to us but he talked in pig. When we were feeding a goat it farted at us, it was really funny then we had lunch. After lunch we went to the water confidence course. The water was freezing. I was the first one to make it across the tyres. After a little bit we went back to school and on the way to school L.H started to sleep. I enjoyed camp and can't wait for another one.

Ca ca camp!
On Monday the 5th of March we went to the marae. We went on the bus. When we got there they did a welcome it was fun.The funny thing that happend were the skits.The funniest skit was when E.F and AJ were farting around the stage.
When we went to Sonshine ranch I was scared to go on the horse but I went on it anyway. I got an allergy in my eye, it was really itchy. After lunch we went to the water confidence course. I only fell off once. The water was cold and muddy and the bottom felt like snakes, it scared me, I doggy-paddled all of the way back. I had a really good time and I want to do it again.
