You did what?


Grace, Violet and I were loading our stuff into Mr. M’s car for Hamner camp. We hopped in and drove out the school gate. I ‘kinda’ felt sick but I think it was because I had drank too much water. It took us a long time to just reach Culverden and I had a sore butt because I had been sitting too long. We met a cute dog at the park. It took a long time to reach the forest camp and when we arrived we had to do an activity.

The activity I had to do was tree climbing, it hurt my legs but I made it up higher than I thought I would. Then we had free time, I made my bed and did some acapella singing (LOL).  Then Grace (My roommate) came back from the walk to the waterfall, she made her bed and then we had dinner.


For Dinner we had lasagne, it was all right, and for dessert I had an ice block while everyone else had chocolate pudding. Then we got to go to the pools and I went on the hydroslides including the super bowl, it was fun when Grace and I went on a double tube and we went down backwards!    

When we got back we had a shower and then we went to bed and talked for a long time. We went to sleep with a night light on I got a sore back though. I didn't really like the food and the beds.  I want better food. I enjoyed spending time with my friends.

Point-of-view writing

Point-of-view
Our writing task last week was to write a short essay explaining point-of-view R.J Palacio used when writing the story “wonder”. We had to find examples from the text like Like quotes and then use Examples from the text two to back up our answers from the text. I am really enjoying the book but I did not enjoy Writing this essay. Anyway I hope you enjoy:
In the book by R.J Palacio “Wonder” it  is written in first person we know this because he says “I and My” for
example:
I know I'm no ordinary 10 year old I mean sure I do normal things like eat ice-cream I ride my bike I play ball and I have a Xbox stuff like that makes me ordinary”.


As a second example August says at the beginning of the book:
“If I found a magic lamp and had one wish I would wish that I had a normal face”


Just to sum up my story I am going to share with you this quote from the story:  

.“But I know other ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in the playground”
