Activity 1

Our task was to create a story about the possibility´s of being stranded in the woods when your pack has left you behind and we had to say what we saw,heard and felt. Here is my story.

I turned around and saw that my pack had ventured on without me, there was a silence nothing but the birds chirping and the trees swaying. I saw that I was alone, I start to freak out what is going to happen now, are the wild creatures of the forest going to eat me alive or are they going to drown me in the water and then eat me? Was I going to be stuck here my hole life, I started to panic I didn´t Know what to do, all I could think about was whats going to happen next. I suddenly fell into a full panic my head felt dissy every thing I saw was blury, and there was only faint noises. I tell myself that i´m going to be okay but my head was full of bad possibility's like starving to death, or me panicking and running  into a tree and die or maybe I would die of starvation and the birds feast on me? My most worry was being stranded in the woods with the SPIDERS! and after I thought about that I defiantly wanted to get out of here so I started to run. It felt like I was running for hours but in the distance of my blurry view I could see the pack coming back for me and suddenly my blurry vision went dragging my headache along with it I was saved.

• Dug holes underneath the whales then filled them up with water
• Lay wet beach towels over the whale
• Filled buckets of water over the whales 

It was a Friday morning when my dad was waking me up I got up straight away after he told me what was happening. We raced in the car to farewell spit to see and help the beached whales all of my family were prepared to help. When we got  there we could see at least fifty whales beached on the soft sand. we  arrived and got straight to work we brung our buckets and shovels and lots of towels. We lay the wet towels on the beached whales and started digging a hole underneath the whales and then filed them up with water we filed the buckets with water and tipped it over the whale but we had to be careful to keep  the blow hole clear. We worked all day going back and forth from the beach gathering water it was a long day, Once night fell we went home and could only hope for the beached whales to go back out to sea during high tide.

Fact two

New zealand's european pioneers were also brave,strong and independent. Before building farms and buildings they had to clear the land which is a hard and dangerous activity. And with new zealander having no protection meant that  the elements forced the young new zealanders to become tough and multi skilled.

Kiwis have been discovering and inventing things. Many of the things we have created were made in a backyard.even though the frozen meat, the Hamilton jet boat and the bungey jump are the most famous ones there are many others.
