Hanmer Camp with my Dad

Thank you dad for coming on Hanmer Forestry camp from Wednesday 9th March to Friday 11th March. I Iiked having you with me because you could help me on camp. It was great how you helped with the food. One of my favourite activities was tree climbing, I liked this because I got really high and it was my 2nd favorite activity. My  favourite activity was hiking up the Conical Hill because it was a cool view from the top.

My group and I walked up to Conical Hill. It  was fun because I liked walking and I like going up hills. I felt tired at times,  I was breathing hard because It was a very steep hill to walk up.

We got to the top 10-15 minutes later and then we went back down to the bottom.

Everyone got to the orienteering, we started.  After we went back to camp I was tired. I felt safe at camp because Dad was with me. I enjoyed the Conical Hill walk because I loved the view at the top.

My 'Wonder' writing

Last week for writing I wrote about the point of view that R.J Palacio used for the book ‘Wonder’. I like the book ‘Wonder’ and I find it an interesting story.


‘Wonder’ is a story about a boy who feels ordinary on the inside, but he is always reminded of how different he is by how people respond when they meet him. This is R.J Palacio’s first novel and it is written in the first person.

I think it is in 1st person because R.J Palacio has written it from August’s point of view because he says “ I don’t know how long I was asleep.” 

 When August started school, he said, “Next week I start fifth grade.” 

 Palacio has used the first person point of view in her story ‘Wonder’.
