Yesterday at 1:00 in the morning a earthquake happened at Christchurch and a famous building got demolished from the earthquake. I was terrified when I heard that there was an earthquake. When I saw photos of the earthquake I felt so bad that I saw some people who got hurt. There were kids in the building when the earthquake hit and some kids might of got hurt too.

When the earthquake hit people were really scared and some people were even crying because
their family is still trapped inside the building and the ambulance people are trying to get the people out. When the people were trapped in the building people some people were saved or were found dead.

Super Women

When I went to move every thing in my room, the very last thing was my set of draws. But I pushed it too hard and it went though the wall onto the grass outside. I ran all the way downstairs and outside and my draws were broken! I asked mum, "How did I do that?"
"I do not know," She said. So I asked her if I can have another set of draws. But she said, "No, I paid too much money for the first one!" So I ran and asked my dad be he also said, "No." I asked my Auntie she said, "Yes." So when she got it I helped her carry it into my room and I lifted it so hard that it went flying so high up into the air and came down on the ground and broke!

Next morning I went to school and I got some cards and I went to pick them up and they flew up and on the ground I my teacher
said pick the cards up so I got on my knees and I went up in the air and I tyred to get on the ground before I get in

Halloween

On Sunday I went trick or treating but first I had to tidy my room, while my auntie was waiting with her kids. When it was finished I got dressed into my costume.
When I was ready and had baby powder and make-up on and black lipstick on. As I was walking my mum and auntie were talking and I had to wait for them to stop talking. Then I went to say bye to my mum, she called out “NOW I’M GOING TO DO THE WASHING” and I said “OK THEN” to my mum. “Come on auntie”
I ran fast to the first house .

When I went to the door the dog come running out from the back of the house and this lady told me to go to the back because the lollies were at the back of the gate. I went with my auntie to the next house. It was Mr Burt's house.
“Trick or treat” I said after I knocked on the door. Ashleigh said “Sorry but I like your costume” then I walked away and went to the next house.

Polynesians

Thousands of years ago groups of Polynesians sailed from Asia to Australia, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, and later on they sailed to Tonga and Samoa and even New Zealand. This movie is about their journey.

Swimming

As I put my first yellow life jacket on,it hung off me.So I go another one. I put it on and it was damp and clammy and cold. Once we were all fitted with our yellow and red life jacket we were eagerly waiting for Chris to tell us to hop in the pool. Chris was a man who has come to teach as about water safety. He is from Water Safety NZ and he is going to stay here for the rest of the year.

As I first hopped in the pool Chris said “It is warm”. But it wasn’t, it was really really cold. I started screaming, my teeth were chattering and my lips were turning purple. I was on the last step I turned around and got in the half position. I was floating on the top of the water.Suddenly we had to stop because Chris put his hands on his head.

He then, told as to get in a circle and said “you have to to float on water and sing the National Anthem. Chris counted to 3 and we had to go on our back. THE END

Mighty Mariners

On Tuesday Room 15,18 and 14 went to the Auckland Museum to learn about all kinds of wakas like James Cook’s boat, and the Polynesians. After having a tour through the museum with Salty Sam, we went with this lady. She took room 15 to all the waka’s to see where our waka was (the waka from where our family come from) mine was from Tonga. First of all we thought it only had Tongaki only but then we saw the Tongan waka next to Tongaki. Lola and Te Rina took a photo in the front of the Tongan waka. Then we sat on the mat and the lady got out two sticks and a skinny long rope and tied it together and made a T and we had to do it. I was the first one out of the group that the lady put us in.
Then we went outside and put our hands on our heads and Salty Sam, told us that we had to go get our lunch and eat on the table and then rm 14 come. I went to go put my snack in my bag because we were going now. I ran to my group and we walked to the ferry to go to Devonport.
