Hanmer Springs - by Jessica Fearn

Kids screaming

jumping in pools

splashing, yelling

Whooing

Twisting like ferns

Slippery like snakes slithering

down the slides

side to side

nice warm rock pools

sprinting to the lazy river

smell the chlorine

other people are doing flips

into the pool

Sumner Beach

I smell the fresh sea salt water. Bellbirds are singing gracefully. Hot squishy sand tickles my feet. Tuis in the tree are singing their babies to sleep. My secret place is Sumner Beach.
