EOTC Recount

It was the Thursday of EOTC week with room 9&7.We are at school. I was finishing up my morning tea when I heard my group were doing rock climbing next. I was afraid of heights, but suddenly that changed!!


There I was, staring at the humongous rockwall. My dad helped me put on my harness, I had a shiver down my spine. I climbed the first quarter of the rockwall & looked down at my dad, then I went higher. I saw myself getting higher & higher after every reach. This is just the beginning of the rockwall session!!

I finally got to the top of the rockwall when I suddenly had a strike of fear! I couldn’t reach for any more knobs on the rock wall. But my brain set a goal for me to get to the top & to hit the button. So I tried my best to get to the top & fortunately I did. I came zooming down with relief. I also heard my dad saying “Good job Gianni!”. I felt proud of myself! As soon as I got to the bottom, some other kids from the Keas group had a turn. Sherry told me that she wanted to have a race. I accepted the challenge! Sherry went on the easy wall & I went on the hard wall. When I was nearly to the top I looked down. I saw that Sherry was struggling, my dad told me to help her out; So I showed Sherry where to put her hands/feet. Once she was near the top I was going to finish the race, but I let Sherry push the buzzer. I pushed the buzzer after her & when I came racing down she shouted “I win!!”




It was lunchtime & I felt really proud of myself for helping Sherry during the rock climbing session. And that was a brilliant experience!!

Hal

Hal
Walt: Describe A Character

His long yellow beak is in front of his bulging, curious eyes. His three feathers on his head makes him look like he’s going to a mohawk party. His thick, black eyebrows were like black liquorice coming from his rounded head.

Hal can become like a boomerang & go in the opposite direction to do incredible damage. He’s perfect at damaging glass & wood, but then not so fine with crushing stone!! Hal is fast but can’t go far.

Hal is a lazy bird, but loves to go camping or play his banjo. Hal is a peace-lover, like Matilda, but still wants to protect the eggs.
