This week we had two write about our own made up mythical creatures. Mine is called a Verdanox.

The Verdanox has a green deer like body but it moves without disturbing the grass under its powerful hooves.It’s as big as a small hill and its eyes are hollow like skulls and it has powerful hind legs and antlers as sharp as the Sword of King Arthur.

It only appears once on the longest night of the year to fight its enemy the Fuil-dhubh (Bloodhound in Scottish Gaelic) at the ancient site Drumelzier where the wizard Merlin was said to be buried. The Verdanox is bound by an oath to protect the balance of life and death.

It is said that it was once a guardian spirit, created from the heart of the earth itself shaped by the forces of nature and magic. When it enters our world its auror is so powerful it sends every living creature into a deep sleep.

What do you think I could add to make this better?

My favorite part was when he showed us his favorite books from childhood, Some of them were very surprising .

Last week or so the intermediates went to camp at Hanmer Springs.

When we got to camp we went on a really long walk and after we went to the pools it was awesome. Then we went back to camp for some chill time and food. Then we played spotlight and had cookies and went to bed.

Day 2: We woke up and went to the kitchen to have breakfast after breakfast we went to get changed and came back for orienteering. I loved it cause we gotta walk in the forest without a parent. Then we had some more chill time and some time to change out of our wet and dirty clothes. After that we split into two groups and half of us went mountain biking and the other half went tree climbing. After that we had dinner

Day 3: I woke up and had breakfast and then did tree climbing afterwards we went to pack up and left.

Last Friday New Brighton Catholic School we had a A&P show with lots of cool things.

First when I got to school there were a bunch of people’s pets at school and they were given a blessing. After that we got to go in our class groups to go in a line and pet peoples pets, there was one cat a lot of dogs, a tortoise and a rooster.

Then we went around the senior classrooms and took turns looking after our groups projects (my group’s project was a farm from the past) . Then we got to go to morning tea and play for a bit.

After eating our morning tea we got to go to play out in the domain There were bouncy castles, a petting zoo, a fire truck, a fancy car and even a tank!!! Then we went to lunch and we had a sausage sizzle for FREE!!

Then after lunch the junior classrooms did some art and craft activities and then we went to room 1 to make some butter, It was really good all we needed to make it was cream and a jar.

I loved Show Day because we got to learn and play at the same time.

Did you go to the A&P show this year??

First we walked as a big group over to the beach and into the club first we had a quick briefing and then we went to the changing rooms to put our bags away. Next we split into groups and went to learn about different things, my groups learned about first aid (Stuff like the DR’S ABCD and how to work as a defibrillator). After that we learned about different types of boards and how some are made for racing and some are made for rescuing. Then we went to look at and learn about the IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat).

After we finished rotations we did a Beach Eds Got Talent it was super fun. Next we had a food break for morning tea. When we finished eating we did some competitions on the beach like the deepest hole and the tallest tower.

Next we had lunch and got into wetsuits and togs and played in the water. Then when we got cold we had to go and get changed and go home.
