lost

One night when a little 7 year old girl called Cleer she was just sleeping one morning she woke up  and she was on a boat in the middle of the sea. Cleer was petrified because she could not find a way back to her house. Scared and terrified she tried to paddle back home.

Then she realized that she still had her blanket,pillow, toys and her bed.  She was thinking of a plan to get back to her home. Then the boat moter did not go eney more. She tried the first plan and the first plan was to open her eyes incase it was a dream but it was not a dream.


So she tried to hop on her bed with her stuff.  Then she paddled back home but first she had to go through the city. So she walked through the city and it was getting dark so she just remembered that one of her best friends lived in the city and she also remembered her number of her place . So she went to her place and sat on their door step then her  friends mum saw her and invited  stay for the night and she said yes. So in the morning her friends mum dropped her off at her house. And it all worked out to be good.

Ferry Ride to the South Island

In the holidays I went with my family to the South Island. this image shows the bow of the ferry this is the ferry that we traveled to the South Island in. The ferry is owned by the company interislander. Our first stop for the South Island was Picton. On our way to Picton, we went past Queen Charlotte Sound. Since the ferry ride was so long, they had a movie theater that shows kids movies. I was lucky enough to watch the movie playing which is called the The Secret Life Of Pets. I went to see the movie with my big brother and sister. Once the movie had finished, we had some afternoon tea and waited to arrive.

The Olympic Flame

... ceremony-olympic flame.jpg


The Ancient Greeks started the tradition of having an Olympic flame. In Olympia a sacred flame is lit by the sun's rays and stays alight until the games have ended. The flame symbolized a request for protection from Zeus and the athletes’ struggles for victory.

The modern flame symbolizes the light of the spirit knowledge and life. To this day the torch is still lit in olympia in greece then carried by a relay team passing runner to runner until it reaches the host-city of the games. There the cauldron will be lit and stay alight until the closing ceremony.

The New Zealand Flag

New Zealanders have begun voting on whether to change their flag from a design which features the British Union Jack to one which features a silver fern. Some people say that the current flag is too similar to Australia’s flag. Also, New Zealand is no longer a part of Britain and we need a flag that represents our nation.
