Lighting Never Strikes Twice

Lighting Never Strikes Twice

WALT: use adjectives and similes to describe a setting clearly.
The sunny spots turned black then purple as the lighting lit up the night sky near above me. BOOM! The second the lighting was seen I could hear the thunder strike the blade of the windmill, it shook the whole building. My ears were ringing, I felt the ground shake below me. As soon as I open the door it felt like I had my head hanging out of a car window at 120 Kilometres per hour. it tor the door off, I dived back inside. I was scared to death as I heard the blades of the windmill creek and crackle. The window on the wall beside me SMASHED open, the ghastly winds rushed in and swirled around the room. There were crates of grain over in the corner, I dashed behind them and waited. I couldn’t remember how long it was until I woke up but when I did the sky black clouds broke open and the sun shined through.

To this day I still wonder if the thunder was
the loudest sound I’ve ever heard.

Mathematical Mum Reflection

   Mathematical Mum


Our group had to read mathematical Mum. Mathematical Mum is the
main character in the story. She is obsessed with math, she uses
math everywhere. When her children need to come shopping with
her, They get really annoyed. For the kids shopping is the worst.
Every time mathematical mum needs something they always have to
work it out. So when the children get sick of math they dive out the
shop screaming.

One Moment in Time

                         One Moment in Time                                
                   One moment in time was me crashing off my bike


As soon as I hit the ground I feel the pain in my knees and legs.
My Bike goes sliding across the gravel and the stones. The back brake
on my bike snaps forward. I put my hands down to stop my head from
hitting the ground. When I stop I quickly look down to see where the
pain is coming from, it was my knee. At the time I didn’t think to much
about it because I was still shocked of what just happened. It was like
every thing just happened in a snap of a finger.

              

William Pike Beach Cookout

In the morning on April the 3 2019 in autumn our class (room 1) and room 8 went down to
the Karoro beach down by the tasman sea along with some of our parents and teachers.
In my group where Lincoln, Daniel, Billie and Hannah the group leader Craig Terry (my Dad)
We made our campfire down by the Watson Creek.

We Made a stick pyramid shaped fire. While Daniel and I were getting the fire ready the rest
where getting the food ready. We waited tall the fire burn down then got some simple
spaghetti into the pan for the fire to cook. While the spaghetti was cooking we were getting
the banana split and the baked potato ready. The spaghetti didn't take long at all to cook just
right so we had it quite early. The way I had my Baked potato was scrumptious: Get the hole
potato and cut rather big splits in it (leave the skin on the potato), Then cover it with tin foil.
If you don’t have a grate put it beside the fire. Leave it for about 15 minutes. If you want it
crispy you can check it every 5 minutes. After that you open the tin foil and you can put
sauces and butter on it but I didn’t. And there were no plates so I just used a cup.
By the time we had all eaten all our baked potato the banana split was ready. Raw sugar
on a banana with hershey's chocolate sauce after we cooked it.

Our Marae Trip

                       Our Marae Trip


On the 5th of March our class and room 8 went on a trip to our local Marae in
Arahura. It was fun learning about all the different stories during that time.
On that morning Charlie and Nathan J and I were driven down to the Marae
by my mum. All of us got our groups ready to go down to the Marae.
We headed off to the car we were taking, packed our gear and off we went.


Firstly
It took about 25 minutes to get down to the marae. Just before the intersection
in Arahura we turn left up in to the old Christchurch road. The car trip was
boring but we were excited when we got there. We unpacked the car and
waited for the others. When we all got there we entered around the main
gates then the powhiri process started.


The Powhiri Process
As we enter the gates the Tangata whenua called the greeting and then
Miss Ireland called back because is  after that we got welcome onto the
marae and we all sat down into the seats in side the marae and we sang
honore. After we done the Powhiri process we had to do the hongi (The
hongi is when you touch foreheads and sometimes noses) then we had
morning tea. After morning tea we went back into the meeting house and we
said all of our mihi’s (our self greeting).


This is one of the things we did on the marae trip in Arahura.
I personally liked the marae trip because it was excited and fun.
