I am a Year 6 student at Papakura Central School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Kahikatea Hub and my teachers are Whaea Sharlee and Whaea Tamzin. This is a place where I will share my learning.

Ahhhhh, waking up on a nice sunny morning was brilliant. I can see the small inlet standing still with big sticks on the ground ready to poke your foot and make it bleed when the tiny pieces of wood stick in your foot. The small inlet was standing still and it was a perfect day for FISHING! I sprinted down to the small wooden dock reaching out into the water, the water standing still. I quickly pulled out my bait fishing line and fishing rod. I cast my fishing line into the water with the little worm squirming on the fishing line ready to be eaten. I felt a strong tug pulling me in the water it pulled me in. I twisted and I turned like the worm on the line desperate to get out of the water. I saw a huge fin coming towards me. I quickly ran through the water I was sinking as the mud pulled me down and the water slowed down my running. I saw the pointy sticks and narrowly dodged them. If I stepped on them my foot might start to bleed because they're so pointy and sharp. It clicked. I knew what I could do but I had to lure the shark one more time. I ran as fast as I could dodging the sharp sticks. I felt the mud reaching higher and higher up my body. It had just engulfed my shins. I then felt no tugging on my legs and I was out. I quickly ran inside rubbing the mud onto my grey carpet making it dark brown in some spots. I grabbed some more bait and ran back to the dock. I cast my fishing rod and waited silently waiting for it to bite and to tug me down. It bit down and pulled me down back into the water. I quickly grabbed the stick off the ground and kept on stabbing the shark. Whack Whack whack the shark turned upside down as the blood poured out. I wonder if there were any more sharks.

At the end of the driveway the world is silent.
At the end of the driveway the world is frozen.
Kids sprinted to the front gate.
Kids passed cars and roads.
In swirly roads and foggy mornings kids shivered walking to school with their sister and brothers.
This girl sprints this boy tags not yet seeing not yet knowing.
That what's gone is a new beginning.
That what begins is already growing.
Big then bigger.
Adults, with their confident faces rush by in cars to adult places.
