The Maze Runner I wake with a shock, “Where am I?” I mumble in fear. “Your in the maze” someone yells. “I need to go home.” I jumped to my feet and ran into the maze. I was followed by three other people warning me not to go and that I would be killed, I didn’t listen. The entry to the maze shut. I was trapped in the maze. I straight away regretted my decision. It was (makariri) cold and dark trapped in between the concrete mossy walls. As the night passed I wandered further through the maze as it got colder through the night. The morning slowly came. I got up to a shock. The entry had opened again. I stood up and ran my hand along the (makariri) cold, hard, shimmery, smooth, (kiwikiwi) grey concrete wall. I ran back. I was almost there when it shut, faster than you can blink. I turned around to see a griever. I look to my left but it’s a dead end. I sprint to my right not knowing it too was a dead end. I hit the wall with a strong force. The griever walks closer to me. I lie still on the dirty, muddy, dusty, ground trying not to flinch. I lie still as a statue pretending to be dead so hopefully the griever goes away. The maze opens again and I’m so scared I just want to run. I tell myself I’ll be fine unless the maze shuts, then I’m toast. I jump to my feet yet again and I sprint to exit. I was just in time to make it out before the maze shut with a loud noise, BANG as the two walls slammed together. It was like a jet engine. The griever was shut in between the huge concrete blocks. Everyone stared at me like I was crazy. I look around at the city in the middle of the maze and realised it really is a beautiful place. I still can’t bare to be trapped in here any longer. A young scientist named Emma walked over to me, “You silly girl, your not supposed to kill a griever. BAD things will come for us now.” Emma backed away slowly. She wouldn’t stop staring right into my eyes. At this moment I was even more scared than I already was. The maze opened again and an army of grievers were standing and staring at me, and only me. Now I was really scared…

My Marae Recount

      Room 7 and room 5’s Noho Marae Stay

It started on May the 1st at Karoro school.   We began getting into
our car groups. Room 5 and room 7 were getting ready to go on camp. We
were heading to the Arahura Marae. We were going there because we were
learning about our local marae.  I was with Donna in her car. We arrived at the
top of the hill where we could see the marae. We walked around to the gate
where it all started.

Before we started the porwhiri we quickly practiced our waiata. Then the  
women did the karanga. We started walking towards the wharenui. Then I
realised soon I would have to do the hongi and I got very, very nervous.  But once
it was all
over I realised it wasn’t so bad. Then we had our kai. It was so good and the
cake was inā rawa/AMAZING!

After that we went to look for pounamu and  there was a small creek with stones
sticking out of the water. We walked along the top of the wet, slippery stones.
Me and Sapphire ran around everywhere looking for it. But we had no luck. I
started losing hope and got annoyed so instead of walking on top of the rocks
 I just walked on through the water. Sapphire wanted to walk to the other
side so I gave her a piggyback so she didn’t get her feet wet. When I took her to
the other side I kept walking through the water. About two or three steps later I
found some pounamu!

Later on, about 7.00 o’clock we started our evening activities. There was soap
carving, tukutuku panels, technology challenge, indoor games and weaving.
I did the indoor sports games and for our first game we played rats

I did the indoor sports games and for our first game we played rats and rabbits.
It’s a game where we had to chase each other. We also played a game where
you had to get all of your team on and off a towel and into a hula hoop. Later at
8.00 I did a technology challenge. We organised our groups and had to dress
one person up as a taniwha. We lost to the other team by half a point. I was
very disappointed but I still had a lot of fun.

I was really nervous to go to the marae and I almost didn’t want to go but in the
end I really enjoyed it and especially all the activities we did.  My favourite part
of all was looking for pounamu. Overall I just really enjoyed it a lot more than

thought I would.
