Year 7 Borland CampsBrenan Reeves (Room 732)
Tension building in the wire as I pull it back, I feel it ripping my fingers open… only the sweet release of the arrow could sooth my pain and the sound of the satisfying swoosh as it zoomed high, and a thump sounded as it pierced the ground with a sharp edge. That was archery.
Tukaea Nikora (Room 732)
My heart was palpitating, it felt like it was trying to escape my chest by beating like a machine gun. As my body iced up like a popsicle in a cold plunge. I saw furry devilish eyes glimmer as the paparazzi torch hit the creature’s eyes, following the light around. I was shell shocked, I sprinted inside with my heart pacing in shock. That was playing spotlight and seeing a possum.
