Labour weekend Wriitng

In our wananga session, we've been doing fun activities around writing and gaining more tips and tricks about writing. But for today I will show you what activity we've done and how it is related to writing because we will have our upcoming test (E-Astle Writing Test). 

So the challenge was to explain our labor day with the word S.P.I.L.E.S. in each letter we had an example and they are related to the things that we were doing during the long weekend. For example, the word S is turned into social, so we have to write things about social activities. 

The challenge was very different and interesting because it had a twist but had examples to give us backup information. 

Here is my work:

Labour Weekend (S.P.I.L.E.S)

S - (Social Activity) In the labor weekend my family went camping and gathered with friends and families.

We had seven family members and haven’t met for a really long time. We gathered at pak n’ save first then traveled for fifty minutes to Ashley Gorge Holiday Park. 

P - (Physical) As a family we proceed to go hiking uphill for two or more hours to see a waterfall.

We also played some of our Filipino’s childhood games such as Tumbang Preso (Fell Prisoner).

While we were hiking up, the terrain was extremely frightening and difficult because of all the rocks, roots of the trees, and the gravity pull we were having.

Another physical activity that I remembered was going to the river and going for a swim in the river where the current was tremendously powerful. 

I - (Intellectual) Furthermore as a group of seven family members we helped each other and built our tent which was exceedingly tricky because we didn’t have any instructions.

In addition to this, I learned how we should clean our house first before going somewhere else because when we got home we were so tired but still had to clean the mess in the house. 

L - (Likes) I truly enjoyed swimming in the river with very strong waves.

As well as sleeping in the tent and eating lots of food.

I also enjoyed gathering with my friends, having a laugh, and asking how they have been doing.

Another thing that I most appreciated was seeing the waterfall and getting some physical exercise by climbing uphill for two or more hours. 

E - (Emotional) I was feeling happy because I got to meet my friends and go camping with them for two days.

And I felt satisfied when I swam in the river because it was cold when the weather was hot.

Moreover, I began to feel tired when we were hiking uphill and extremely exhausted when coming back home.

Another emotion that I felt annoyed because the waterfall wasn’t that high but the water was so fresh.

But at the end of the day, I felt fantastic because I actually think that I won a medal for climbing a mountain and seeing my friends which were worth it. 

S - (Success) The success that I had was not losing my jandals when I saw in the river with a strong current.

Therefore I was also successful when I climbed, helped set up the tent, and climbed up the mountain.

Also, the successful thing that I did was drinking fresh water and doing some physical activities.

I think that that was a fantastic experience and would love to do it again.

Would you enjoy climbing up a mountain and camping?

I think this activity was cool and a fun way to explain our Labour Weekend experience. And I conceive that I did pretty well on my work and had lots of information. I really enjoyed doing this activity and love to do more of this, this will actually make me prepare for my writing test. 

Hope you learned something from my blog and experience. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post. Make sure to leave feedback for my blog post(;
