The Forest Castle

                                               The Forest Castle

As I stepped into the snow it rose to my knees but I didn't care I began to walk in the forest ,I looked up and The trees were filled with snow just then I fell in a pothole at least the snow saved me. I walked deeper and deeper into the snow took a few turns and walked some more…  and took some more turns and then I realized something I was lost!!!!

                                                   

I started to panic and began walking in random directions hoping that one of the turns would take me home. It started to get dark and I couldn't see where I was going I stopped and thought to myself I should wait to morning so then I can see where I’m going. I tried going to sleep but I just couldn't fall asleep I got up and decided to explore the forest till morning. Its 2am and I was walking around in the dark then SMACK I hit into a tall thick tree I looked up and down side to side. It is 7:00 am and I can see now.

I was in some kind of forest castle there were tall thin trees leaning over blocking the sun from view. There was still snow on the trees even though the sun was shining, then the sky turned from blue to grey clouds and just then it started pouring with rain, there must be a storm I thought. Then a couple of minutes later there was a cackle of thunder and a flash of lightning I better get home.

I started walking around then out of the blue the rain stopped lightning struck the tree right next to me then it set fire, I didn't know what to do so I ran as fast as I could because the fire was getting bigger eventually I ran all the way home. The moment I got inside it started raining again and the fire went out.

Dear - John

I am writing this letter to say thank you for coming to camp kaitawa with us. We are thankful that you gave up your time to come to camp. I thank you because on the confidence course you helped me across the log bridge, I fell of the first time but I got the hang of it after a while.

My first highlight is when we did master chef, we burnt most of our pancakes, we had just enough non burnt ones to plate up. The dinner master chef was really hard because we had to make a meal straight from scratch.

My second highlight was the confidence course, at night I was really hard and scary because every now and then you would bump into a wall of some sort ,we ended up going around all of the obstacles. Then the next day we went on the confidence course during the day it was so much easier but we weren't allowed to go around the obstacles.

My last highlight was the Michael Noonan walk, it was cool because we went out at night it made the walk a lot more scary. I liked having to find all 25 words and having to write them down on a bit of paper luckily our team remembered all the words.    

1 interesting fact about the rata tree is that It takes 21 kids to fit around the bottom of the tree. We all had to guess how many kids it would take I guessed 22 and I was one of!!

Yours Sincerely

Sienna 😀
