I looked back in land nobody was behind me. I had drifted way out of the flags. I was panicing and tiyering my self out. If I get up on the rocks I will be saved I thought to myself a fisherman nerrby saw me strugleing he didn't know what to do either. He ran away leaving me in the cold unforgiving sea. Sddenly there was a wosh and a slosh I was getting washed out to sea I stuck my hand straight in the air and hoped that someone came to my aid. Large swells carried me out and out I held on for dear life. My bogie board broke up on the rocks now a shark was coming straight for me. CHOMP! CHOMP! I swam like a fish. I got out of the rip but the shark was getting closser I felt as though I was going to die. the salt stinging my eyes and throat. BANG! I was washed up on the rocks away from the shark but I wasn't out of trobble yet. The rocks had scrached me and broken my leg. Suddenly the fisherman came around the corner of the island with all the other life savers there were parametics tending to my leg. Then I blacked out. Two hours later I was in the hospital looking up at my family. Out of one corner of my eye I saw the fisherman. He said that I bumped my head on his tackel box when I came in. When I went home my mum and dad were so angery they said nothing. You can be sure that I stayed between the flags. ||

 * !my acheivments on camp! ||
 * # perserevere with climbing the pinnaclas .............. I did it tired and sore.
 * 1) sit at diferent tables to get to know others ............ I sat with my friends more.
 * 2) try my hardest in ALL activities .......... I did this the best out of all goals this goal was fun.
 * 3) try to not get scared going up the ladders ........... I didn't get scared going up I only got a bit scared going down. ||

that what we did was one of the 100 things to do. when I started the walk I had no idea that the steps went on for ever and ever then we got to the rest stop. everyone took their shoes of ( but I didn't) then It was just one more hour to the top. we got to the hut and everyone ran like lightning to get a top bunk unfortonetly I didn't get one. then we dumped our bags and started the 498 staircase walk but when we got to the top it was wonderfull then all the rest of the way up is ladders up and up untill I got to the top I will be satisfied with my acheiment of climbing the pinnaclas. it was really fun climbing then we reached the top. the fun was over I remember thinking how am I going to get down. but I did and it wasn't that hard. we went down and had dinner. the dinner was like cat food the chiken was really rubbery and the only good thing was the mashed potatoe and that tasted like cardboard. I'll never have dried food again. :( in the morning we went back to camp tried and sore the next day we went home ( back to civilizalion) ||

I think that children should not have to do homework. Because we already have to do lots of work at School, we have School to learn and we learn the same work at school so why should we have to have homework as well!!!

Firstly it takes up your own time it keeps you indoors in stead of being active outside, it wastes the teachers time trying to mark all students work, it also wastes the teachers time typing up the homework sheet, finding math sheets it wastes the paper, the printers ink and if the printer is on all day it wastes power. SO WHY DO WE HAVE HOMEWORK!!!! And for doing homework 24.7 all week we dont even get rewarded and thats just unacceptable its not fair for the children that work there brains off all week to think there going to be rewared but really their not. Secondly if we get rewared we will work and try harder to get a reward the next week. Also we work at school for SIX hours so why do we need to work another at home. It takes away our family time family time is important for us. Children involved in a sport outside of school have no time to do there homework because every day there practicing for example say a child does netball there conctrating for there weekend game so thay have no time to do homework because there practicing all day every day! Thirdly parents jobs also get in there childs way of doing homework because there parents arent there to help them or do their spelling tests. Homework can also efect relation ships between family. Some students that fail at school may find the work a bit to hard so they dont finish it in time!! In conclusion i belive students should not have to do homework i hope that my message has got threw to you and you stop giving students homework.. Great editiorial girls, remember to include facts to back up your opinions. Theses are good points and somegood emotive words to help them seem more persuasive ||
