Belonging to Me Poem

The Tree of Life

She held hope in her outstretched hands.

Kneeling gently on the ground, She prepared herself for what she knew she must do.

The cool water trickled through her muddy fingers, And the soft, black earth felt comfortingly warm on her palms.

Planting the tree of life would mean a new beginning, the opportunities were endless...

Feeling the excitement course through her quivering body, she lowered the tree of life into the small hole she had prepared.

It was time...

1 month had passed, the tree was 7 times its size, probably even bigger!

It had 3x the leaves, they were a nice warm green.

She checked on the tree every day, it was almost as if the tree of life was her best friend.

The tree was very delicate, the lushes green leaves sometimes light up when it can feel the energy around it.

Quite often she rushes her warm fingers through the waterfall behind the tree, the waterfall contains a special tree growing potion, it also helps the leaves grow a special power and stay healthy.

The only person who knows about the tree and its powers is Lily, Lily is a 14-year-old girl that lives with her family in florida.

Lily has kept the tree a secret for a while now. 

The tree has a power that, when the wind blows some of the leaves blow with it.

Some of the power drains out of the leaf and spreads across its path,  you can't see the glowing leaves unless you have the ability.

As far as Lily knows, she is the only one with the ability.

She sometimes thinks about what would happen if she told anyone, Maybe they would tell other people, Maybe they would keep it a secret.

She wouldn't know, so she has promised herself to keep it a secret unless she needs to tell anyone. Lily thinks the tree may not grow any larger, she often says to herself "we'll find out soon".

Holidays

It was a hot summer day when we woke up at 7 in the morning to meet my aunty in Murchison. When we met her I stayed at her house for a night then she took me to Richmond.

To meet my nana, we said goodbye to my auntie then we went to the Richmond Mall.

At the Mall, we went into some shops and 

I got some shoes and clothes. Then at 2:00, we went to Motuweka which is where my nana lives.

I said hello to Kelly which is my auntie then I went downstairs to put my stuff away.

We went to cafes a lot and went out for dinner a few times.

I stayed at my nana's for 3 to 4 weeks then I went to my great nanas for 1 week. In that week we went to the river a lot, Mostly in the afternoons when it was hot. 

Sometimes we did baking and when it was raining, we were inside most of the day.

On Friday of the last week of the holidays, we came back home to Greymouth and spent the weekend at home.

Then school started.

Kawa of Care DLO

 

Today we learnt about the Kawa of Care and that we signed an agreement to look after our Chromebook and we had to pick a number out of a hat and the number we picked out of the hat is the number of the sentence we had to write about, The number I got was 4 and the sentence was "I will always be in the right place at the right time when I am online". I enjoyed writing this because at the start I didn't know what to write but in the end I finished the task.
