Coopers Beach Camp

Last week we  went to camp at Coopers Beach. On the way we stopped at Whangaroa harbour and went fishing off the wharf. I caught lots of fish. I had so much fun fishing. The next day at camp we walked down to Coopers Beach and went to the rock pools. We saw a dead baby shark lying on the beach, a huge red crab, and an octopus in the ocean. 
I really liked going down the long water slide at camp, it was so much fun. The obstacle course was fun and being at camp. I had so much fun at camp with my friends.

Speech

For the last two weeks we have been working on writing speeches. 

My topic was Enderdragon

We had to present them in front of our class. 

I think I did a good job.

Here is my speech.

Have you ever wondered what an Ender dragon is and how it works?

Let me tell you all about it. An Ender dragon is in the game minecraft he is black and he has grey horns, purple eyes and purple breath when the fire comes out of his mouth. He can fly and he has big wings.                                                                 

Ender Dragons live in the end in the game minecraft. The end is a place that is dark like night time, the ground is made of end stone. Enderman also live with the Ender dragons.

Ender Crystals heal the Ender Dragon  by going to the purple line.

Don’t be bothered to kill the ender Dragon you take out the ender crystals first. 

I hope you now know something about the Ender dragon.
