My Swimming at Flaxmere

In the morning last week we went to the pool and we learnt how to do backstroke and freestyle We learnt to swim.

Room 20\21 and room 19\18 went to the pool.                               

I could smell chlorine in the pool and I can touch the bottom of the pool. I saw steaming water everywhere. I heard little waves when I was under water. Swish,swish. It sounded like waves.

“Put your head under the water”  explained the coach. At the second  to last lesson the coach said “we will play a game of mushroom”.  The coach said “I will see you next week”.

I do not have a favourite part but the bit I liked the best was dolphin dives. I liked dolphin dives because it was fun.

At the end we had to go back to school  and have our food. I felt good and happy and next time we go I will have to learn how to breathe in freestyle.  

Te Mata peak was a big giant. He came along  a moāri village and fell in love. The chief said to the giant  if you want her then you  must complete the task. You must bite a rock off the hill  over there.  Then you can have her.

But it is only if you  can do it. Ok said the chief  so the giant  went to do the task.  He completed all the other things  and he was on the final task. Then he had to bite off a rock off the hill  so he did it.  Then  he died  and  became  the  sleeping  giant.

Humongous Volcanos

There were two adults, their names  were  Kingston and Andrew and there were  four humongous volcanos with some black things in it and it had already erupted. They had to run up a steep hill so the lava can not get up. But the lava was melting the hill then the lava got through the hill and Andrew and Kingston had to run as fast as they could so another person came and he saw them running from lava so he started running with them. He  got them far away from the volcano and the lava went away from all the volcano and he found his house  again. Andrew and Kingston  got to live in his house.  

Hawkes Bay fire story

                   Hawkes Bay Fire

Huge fire sparks State of emergency

Flames Horrified residents

As I stood at the end of my driveway I could see the  flames of the  fire destroy my precious home. The fire was bursting hot and I was scared.The fire is as high as a skyscraper .

The pilot said  “I’m falling“ .

The fire is burning hot.

The big bucket of water splashed on to the terrifying fire.    

The fire was dangerous because someone could get hurt .

The pilot crashed into a big  giant  hill.

Swing bridge

WALT - use our senses and the 5 W’s when writing.

I can see a bridge as ugly as a pile of garbage and the rope looks so old.

I wonder if there could be a snake at the other side of the bridge and I wonder if there will be a troll under the bridge. If I cross it the troll might jump up and eat me.

The person was the photographer and I was with him. If there was crocodiles I would be scared of them

And I could smell the river and nature. I could see a humongous forest and a big tree.    

And there could be 2 metre sharks in the ferocious  river and poisonous frogs at the other side of the bridge.
