Evil human doll

One night, I woke up and right beside my bed was a scary looking doll called Eve, as soon as I saw the doll I hear strange sounds coming from under my bed. I start to freeze with fear, as the noise gets louder and louder the doll makes a funny sound saying “Help me”, I run to my mothers bed trying to wake her up but she was fast asleep. I try to tuck in to the blanket and go to sleep but the noise from the doll had me shaking. My little brother was crying then it stopped.

I was so afraid, because I could hear a strange scratching noise coming from the room next door . As I got out of the blanket I walked out of the room and I could see the doll holding a knife. The doll was looking at me in a very scary way.

 I slam the door shut to make sure the scary doll Eve would not get in. I went back out of the room to go check on my brother. When I got in the room I saw blood on the floor. I looked around and found him dead on his bed, in a pound of blood.

The next morning, I woke up still feeling scared. As soon as my mother wakes up I tell her about the doll. She freaks out and quickly runs downstairs to get the telephone and dials 911. When she dials the number she tells the officers to come straight away. Mum tells them about the evil looking doll and they said that it might be cursed or we are just seeing things.

When the officers arrived they investigated the doll on the back of its head had said “Destroy this doll”. The police officers and mother rushed outside and grabbed everything that they needed to destroy the doll. 

They destroyed the doll with a flamethrower from the garage and other heavy equipment. I was climbing into the chimney and thru the leftover pieces in the fire that was lit by my mother.

We lived a better life living without the scary evil looking doll.

The end.

Water Fun Day

Today we had Water fun day. It was very exciting seeing everybody in their house groups and in their colour t-shirts. There are four house colours called Nikau,kowhai,Rata and kauri, all the teams had split into their classes and went to their first activities. We had four buckets that we had to fill but we had to complete the activities given to us before we go fill our buckets up with water.

Our first game was pool fun. Pretty much we had freetime to play in our new pool. We all had to make sure that we didn't have any sharp objects in our pockets that could peel off the paint on the pool. We had a couple of rules. There were No jumping or bombing in the swimming pool.

Our next game was called water bomb. How we played this was that we had to throw a water bomb in our teammates hand and try no to pop it. Whoever had the most water bombs has a chance of throwing in at the teachers.

After that game we went to a hopping game. This was very easy all we had to do was pick up a container of water hop in a hula hop and run up the hill and tip the water in your house bucket.

Then we had the slide. At the slide we had to form one line and each person in a house has to grab a cup dip it in the water sprint and slide down and tip the water in the house coloured buckets.

Lastly was spongebob. We had to dip a sponge into the water and give it to the person behind you doing an up and down pattern. As soon as the last person gets the sponge they have to race up the hill, squeeze all the water out of it and run down and put it back in the bucket and then it repeats again. Overall it was very fun doing all of those water activities 

Having fun at kiwican

We started our kiwican lesson with a new theme which is positive relationship and topic which is fair play. For our engergizer we play 21 there was one boy team and one girl team. We had to try and get the other team out.

Our rules were:

We only can call out 2 numbers

we cant tell anyone what number they have to say

After the energizer we played a activatie caled Human Bowling. It was girls on boys again, we had to stan behind a line and open our legs and try not to get hit by the ball. Unfortunately the boys won that game.

Our last game was called End of the road which means anwsering question for our knowledge.  The girls team had won that game.

Reflection 

I had fun learing and playing at kiwican.
