We have been writing entries for the "Top outdoor Spot" competition being run through term 1 by both sides of the fence (Walking Access Aotearoa). We are tasked with writing a description of our top spot in New Zealand all within 600 characters...so short, sweet and to the point.
Here are Kaleb and Brooke.M's fantastic entries...! Check out others on individual blogs
PANDORA POND
Kids pop manu’s the water, it’s nice and warm and I see water flying up in the air as if it’s trying to do tricks.
I hear screaming cos kids are trying to sprint up the bouncy castle to be the first. Seagulls are scoping for fish and chips, all the birds are chirping demanding food.
People are scraping their jandals across the round rocks as kids are skimming stones. As soon as I hit the water it’s warmth is like a dragon breathing fire at me. I taste the yucky salt water flying onto my tongue. Pandora Pond is amazing.
Ohope Beach!
As the blazing sun rises I can feel the sea breeze whipping across my face and the sand soaking into my feet with every step. Craaash! I hear the waves beating against the soft sand. On the surface of the choppy water I can spot ripples, white like marshmallows. As I look to the left of the rough sea I see trees dotted with bright red Pohutukawa. Standing on the beach I smell the strong salty water from the enormous sea ahead of me.
