Alex Plotter & the revenge of Mouldywart

Intro) Beep Beep, Beep Beep, Beep Beep. Alex Plotter was awake for his 17th birthday.  P1) He clambered out of bed and crawled towards the stairs. By the time her had got down all 150 stairs in his largely oversized staircase he was tired so that made him totally unprepared for the… SPLAT!!!... Cream pie at the bottom. A classic birthday joke from Hermoninny Grounder, his heroic sidekick. Now… breakfast time. P2) After breakfast he got a call from the order of the parrot the intelligence service against Mouldywart (his arch enemy) and his evil sidekick Don Weaslby. Him and Hermoninny are the top agents. The call explained that intelligence has suggested that Mouldywart has entered the Forest of Umbrellas in search of the umbrella of destiny. “On my way” Alex told them. He clicked his fingers as if demanding a waiter and they were off. P3) By the time they arrived Dumbledoor was panicking at the entrance and waiting to tell them that… “Mouldywart has entered the Forest of Umbrellas and is at the Umbrella if you hurry you can catch him.” So they sprinted off after Mouldywart. P4) By the time they got to Mouldywart it was too late. “To late Plotter.” spat Mouldywart.  “I have the umbrella.” He pointed it at the ground and yelled…  “Explsio Maxi-“ Before he could finish he was blown off his feet.  “What the?”  Alex had simply snuck up behind him and shoved him over.  “Deatherificus!”  “NOOOOOO!!!” Mouldywart screamed before he blew into millions of microscopic pieces. Minerva Mcknowsall had destroyed him like a crumbling cookie.  Conclusion)With Mouldywart destroyed and Don captured, all was well, for now. As for the umbrella, lets just say it won’t be used again.

Hermit Crab Character Description

Hermit crab is a very kind crab and has a very artistic brain inside his burnt orange head. His cloudy white shell looks much better with all his very odd friends on it. But the oddest one of all would have to be... the pebble stones.

After making manners the crabs golden rule, he asked all the creatures very politely before putting them on his shell. Hermit crabs idea of fun is making friends not enemies. Even though he is scared of dark, he is rather brave.

CAMP POUNAWEA INFORMATION REPORT

If you are year 4 at Outram school, prepare yourself for year 6 because you will be going to Pounawea for your next camp. Pounawea is located in the Caitlins area. Boys sleep in the Bellevue block and girls sleep in Ocean View. The three main buildings are Bellevue, Ocean View and the dining room.
 * __Intro:__**

The main duties are dining room, kitchen, dishes and ablutions. If you get down time, you can either go to the field or the park. Watch out for the spinning clothes line with triangle handles!
 * __Duties:__**

On the way there you will stop at Balclutha for morning tea and to see the birds and have a bit of a run around. At Owaka you will stop at Tunnel Hill and turn your torches off in the middle. At camp you will get down time and time to set up. Then comes the nature walk. After that it is the rocky shore. Then showers, dinner then bed.
 * __Day 1 Activities:__**

On day 2 comes the confidence course. Most of it is on wires so gather your nerves before the trip! (Don’t jump off the fireman’s pole, it hurts!) At the end you swing into a net, don’t hesitate, just do it! The Mclean falls is interesting so come prepared to get wet!
 * __Day 2 Activities:__**

Day 3, options day, remember your wet suit for canoeing, and prepare to get wet! Bring running shoes for orienteering, and it helps to read the map the right way up! The museum is cool so bring something to lean on. Check behind you when you are fishing because it hurts if a hook catches your finger!
 * __Day 3 Activities:__**

The trip home, on the way home you stop at Surat Beach, don’t forget a raincoat because if it rains, you get soaked. Stay away from sealions! You will go to nuggets lighthouse for lunch. A good place for photos too. If you are lucky you will see some seals.
 * __Day 4 Activities:__**

You should probably bring extra equiptment. It may take up more room, but it’s worth it. You should look forward to it because it’s awesome!
 * __Conclusion:__**

**__Camp Recount__** **__Intro:__** Mrs Tansley had called up camp groups 3 and 8 to do the camp Pounawea orienteering I chose Logan for my buddy because we are both fast and wouldn’t loose each other. After Mrs Tansley had explained the map we were off. **__Paragraph 1:__** We shot to number nine, which looked the closest. Then… OOPS! I noticed I was reading the map upside-down. After turning the map up the right way, we sprinted flat out, to the ones on the bush walk to the estuary. After clipping them we jogged to the ones right beside each other at an intersection. **__Paragraph 2:__** On the intersection one of the roads go up a hill and another two go towards houses, and the last road goes towards the ocean. After getting them, we ran to the one on the road to Owaka, and then we sprinted to #18 in the bush and then #2 in the other direction.

By the time we got to the one by the canoes, we were panting and ready to get back to camp for a rest. We found 15/19 but got 12 right.
