Crystal Clear Waters


Splish,splash,splosh. We ran into the crystal clear waters of Rarotonga. Fish,stingrays,moray eels,turtles and sharks ... beautiful but deadly. With vicious fangs and glorious stripes it slivers ... it slides ... Zooming along the rocky bottom. Over sandy hills and through the weed and under a rock to curl up for the night.

I swam back to the beach to go to a party.The food was delicious. From coconut milk in a coconut shell to crabs served hot after being boiled in a pot. It was a great night for everyone in the resort. It was an all night party; the best fun I've ever had. 

The next morning, after scoffing down a glass of coconut milk and a star fruit for breakfast, we headed to the market. Fish of all sorts, enough jewels to delight a king, fruit from the top of the volcano ... it was awesome.All the the way down lush coconut trees surrounded the beach. At the market I got a shark tooth necklace. Black string runs down to a sparkling tooth of a shark.

Then we went on a glass bottom boat. As we sped across the reef I could see the bottom through the glass. It was amazing. The colourful coral and the sandy plains all filled to the top with everything from the smallest plankton to the biggest shark. After that we snorkelled around some sandy plains near the beach off an island. It looked like the island had a clean water supply because there was a big pipe running from Rarotonga to the tiny island. We had a big lunch on the island. I went looking for coconut crabs with the driver of our boat. We went to some coconut trees near a big cliff with lots of cracks in it. Our driver climbed up the coconut tree and threw down twelve coconuts. We put them in the cracks and left to do some more snorkelling. I found a school of baby puffer fish being attacked by some fish called python fish. After that we went to check the coconuts in the cliff.

“What was that," I said. I found a coconut crab. The boat driver cooked them for us. They tasted delicious. After this I went swimming with turtles. They had a lush green colour with dark stripes. It was an amazing experience. My trip to Rarotonga was exquisite.

Capital E

At capital E we made music. It was super fun to do. In my music I had drums, bass guitar,etc  guitar beat boxing and electric piano. It sounded as cool as a pro. My favourite part was when the beat went slow to fast as it sounded cool when it faded. I found making the music easy and exciting. Soon I looked around me to see that we all had a great beat going. I was sitting next to Lacey and Chloe. The headphones were comfortable sitting on my ears. I listened to their beat often and it sounded cool as. I needed to remember to not put too much music on otherwise it would sound crowded.  
After we had made our music we all gathered in the middle again to listen to everyones beats. My favourite beat was Hannah’s and Tyler’s ... and Mine!!! I enjoyed learning how to make music because I have always liked music. I hope we can go again.
If we go again next time I would like to make a longer more jazzier song.
I appreciated that Carl let us in his workshop to make better music using the proper equipment.

Tacodile supreme

One night I had a dream that tarko trees grow on the the top of Mount Kiermejoke. And that night an evil scientist put a super growth formula on them and the tacos fell off the tree. They mutated together and turned into tacodile supreme. That day I was playing with my lab kit when... poof. A portal formed and I got sucked in and swallowed by the dream portal. I landed in mount kilamongago.
Roar.
A great roar came from the jungle I looked through the trees... There it was tacodile supreme!
