Letter to Cologne

In class we have been getting ready to write a letter to our pen pals in Germany (Cologne). Here is my letter:

Dear Mrs Hartmann and students.

Hi my name is Annalise. I’m a girl in room 11. I live in Havelock North/Hawkes bay. I have a dog named Daisy and a cat named georgie.

I also have a older brother called Ethan, and I live with my parents. Do you have any siblings or pets???

My passions are gymnastics, art, dancing, swimming, cooking, baking and sometimes singing. My favourite animals are Meerkats, turtles, squirrels, chipmunks and red panda. 🏽🏽🐱

What are your hobbies and favourite animals???

I am creative, crazy and bubbly inside.

Hope to hear from you soon! 😃

Te Mata Peak Daredevils

By Annalise

“Should we or should we not?” I said to Tiffany.

“Well if we want to be daredevils then yes,” Tiffany shouted. I thought for a moment, just standing there wondering if sliding down this thin, long shortcut would be a good idea.

I looked at Tiffany, she nodded ,so we started walking. But then suddenly Tiffany realised that it was nearly  a 90 degrees slope. We fell on our butts and started sliding down a rocky, bumpy hill. Dirt was flicking on our faces. Down.. Down.. Down.

Till I spotted a prickle just up ahead.

I shouted out to Tiffany, “watch out”  but it was too late, her hand had just been planted right on top of the pointy little prickle.

I was looking back at Tiffany to see if she was ok, She said, “I’m alright”.

I turned back around and saw the end on the short cut.

Tiffany and I didn’t realise that it just ended as a drop.

I tried to stop myself before it ended but it was too late. I fell and landed on the actual track on my but. I yelled “Tiffany Stop” but she didn’t hear me instead she landed right next to me.
