Lake Daniell

On 12.6.19 we did the Lake Daniell track. It was a 6 hour return walk.
We went on this walk for the William Pike challenge and because we were learning about hypothermia.

We had to split into groups of three to do a scavenger hunt. In my group was Nevey, Lily and Jack.
We were the only group of 4. When we got to Lake Daniell entrance there was this puddle and
everybody
was joking and saying that we arrived at Lake Daniell.

On the way to the lake I was in the front with a few other people.
When we got to the lake we had our lunch and I just had to be the first to touch the water so that’s
exactly
what I did. When we were eating lunch it started to rain.

On the way back I walked with Nevey for most of the way and then we stopped to wait for the others.
When we got to the end of the track I sprinted because I just had to be the first to get to the finish.
Over all the tramp was fun.

The Umbles

The Umbles are 4 stages to knowing that somebody has hypothermia.

The Umbles

• Stumbles = The stumbles is a loss of control over movement. Slow motion is also a sign of the stumbles.

• Mumbles = Slurred and slow speech, sleepiness and confusion.

• Fumbles = Poor coordination, dropping objects.

• Grumbles = A change in behavior and a negative attitude.

Lightning Never Strikes Twice

WALT use adjectives and similes to describe a setting clearly

 I was sitting in the corner of the windmill listening to the rain crashing onto the roof. I was waiting for it to stop until BOOM SNAP CRASH!!! I raced to the dirty window to peer through and I saw a tree lying on the ground in two large pieces. I started to panic and completely froze when i heard a huge creak coming from outside. After a few seconds I realised that it was just the windmill working away. BOOM I raced to the window again to see what damage had happened. There was none. I kept on peering out the window to make sure. A few moments later I saw that a huge tree was blocking the door. I sat in the corner thinking what to do. Suddenly I heard something. It was getting louder. It sounded like water in a river. “OH NO” I screamed. Water was flowing in from upstairs. “HELP HELP HELP” I yelled “HELP ME PLEASE”!!! Now the water was up to my knees so i made a dash for the stairs to get to the top room. I grabbed the ladder in the corner and climbed up to the chandelier. 10 minutes later the water started to flow into the top room. I was looking around the room to think what do. Suddenly I screamed “YES” because I had found a string to pull that leads to the attic. I pulled it and climbed up as fast as I could. The thunder was still booming away like crazy which made everything worse. There was a window in the attic so I smashed it open and climbed down the tiles of the windmill. Soaking wet I moved the big tree and let all the water out. I raced in side and quickly covered up the hole that let the water in. I ended up living which is good and I am never spending another thunderstorm in a windmill ever again.

A Moment In Time

In Rūma Tahi we were writing a moment in time. I found it pretty easy.


Bump Bump Bump splash I flipped off the biscutt and landed back first into the water.  Deep Deep Down I went. With my eyes closed I could hear a little ripple sound when I was floating up. I could feel little bits of weed floating up from the bottom and slithering around my feet. I could taste the lake water in my mouth. I found myself up at top of the water. I took a deep breath to get the air back in my lungs. I yelled yeah woohoo I could smell the gas from the boat flying through the air.
