Getting Out of the Desert

Ting Dong was a 32 year old pilot. He had black hair and he wore a black leather jacket.
Ting Dong and his friend, Ken, decided to go up for a parachute jump because it was a sunny day. They took off and got really high when the  wing fell off and the plane crashed. Luckily, they had parachutes.
They landed in a desert and Ken got lost, so Ting Dong was on his own. He walked and walked, but all he could see was yellow sand.


He got really hot and thirsty, so he walked and walked until he came to a forest on the edge of the desert. In the forest he saw snakes, spiders and other bugs.
He walked and he found a waterfall. He slowly walked to the waterfall and he drank until he wasn’t thirsty any more.
Ting Dong saw a man called Fred. Ting Dong said, “Oh my gosh. Please help me get out out of the forest,” so the man helped Ting Dong get out of the forest and get back to his family.

The Wizard of Oz

Tomorrow, we are doing The Wizard of Oz. I am a Tinman dancer. We wear silver and black face paint and silver funnel hats. We have silver paper wraps around our wrists and silver legs and arms.We dance side to side and backwards and forwards. I am feeling nervous because there are going to be heaps of people watching. 

The Kiwi Crew

During the Olympics, I saw Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan race in the 2012 Olympic Games. They were racing for a gold medal in rowing. 

They were going slow at the start but, when they hit 1000 metres, they started catching up. 

The calm blue water bobbed up and down. Nathan and Joseph were picking up speed and they were coming into 3rd place. 

I was feeling excited, then they passed another canoe. They were coming 2nd. 

I was cheering, "Go, New Zealand!"

They were catching up to the leader, and then, New Zealand passed the leader.

New Zealand was going as fast as they could to the finish line.

New Zealand came first. They won the gold medal. 

I was happy.
