This is my piece of writing:
As we drove in, I felt that feeling that I feel every time we came here. I felt as if I was back at home. This was my favourite place ever. All the memories I had made, came straight back to me now. Hatepe. I closed my eyes, I felt the heat of the day engulf me. As we drove down the road, we came to our batch. I jumped out of the car, while it was still moving, like always. I couldn’t wait any longer! We were finally here, finally home. We parked up the car, and went inside our batch. It felt so great. I got my togs out of the car, and changed into them at the speed of light. Mum, dad and my brother changed intot their togs to, and we all got our books out. Dad put them in a basket, then helped us get out the paddle boards, and the umbrella. Kd, our dog, was running around so excited to be here to. We all ran down to the lake, to see all of the other people there in their togs swimming to. Kd and I dived into the lake and felt the great feel of Taupo lake wash over me. I smiled, feeling gleeful that I was doing it all again. I got out to get the paddle boards, and felt the sand squish between my toes. Dad was coming down to, with my paddle board. I looked at the blue around the sides, and raced up to grab it. I put on my life jacket, grabbed the paddle and pushed the board into the water. I jumped on and paddle out. I could feel the breeze brush against my face. I knew that I had gone out just far enough, as I could only just see the lake floor. I dived off the board, and under the blanket of lake I went. The cool water soaked me up, as I went under. I trout swam under me, and I swam back up to the board and took a breath.
