I AM

I am Fynn
I am all I see
I see the possum trying to get out of the possum trap.
The dozy cat lying in the shade .
The cars zooming past our gateway .
The calves walking around the grassy paddock .
The clucky chooks pecking at worms .

I am all I hear
I can hear the cows mooing in the field .
The dogs barking at wild pigs .
The chainsaw cutting down manuka .
The goats bleating at the dogs .
And mum calling me for tea .

I am all I feel
I feel the warm sun shining on my back.
The big slimy eel tugging on my line .
The hot milo drizzling down my throat .
The motorbike trying to take off on me .
And I feel the warm shower on my back .

I am.
A brother.
A Son
A boy.
I am Fynn

Te Wera Camp

Camp at Te wera
On Monday I woke up. then I ran to the kitchen and made some breakfast. After breakfast I brushed my teeth. then I loaded my gear into the car and slammed the car boot shut. Next we hit the road. we got to Stratford in no time. when we got there I sorted out what cabin I was going to sleep in. I chose a tidy one. My room mates names were lukis and Flynn. My first activity was Orienteering. for orienteering you have to follow a map through the bush and there are little stamps you have to mark off. There was about like 50 or so. When we had finished orienteering we did archery with Mr barns and Rodney. for archery I hit two targets archery is fun then we went back for afternoon tea. For afternoon tea we had some yummy cake and biscuits. On Wednesday we went eeling and bivvie making when we went eeling we caught 4 eels we caught one of the eels in the eel henaki and we also got a trout in the henaki. Tony caught a eel on his eeling line ceyan also caught a eel on a line as well and we kept it but I don’t no what they did with it. For lunch we had filled rolls with pizza on the pizza there was spaghetti/ cheese / tomato/. After lunch we played a game it was called whizards/ goblins and trolls. I enjoyed camp it was fun.
