Lightning Writing

Today our task was to write a quick write about this photo (added below) We had to describe what we saw, what we herd and how we would feel. This in my work .



Sitting in this windmill is creepy… I'm cold,tired and.. THUD! The sound of thunder hit me like the chilling feeling in horror movies. As I herd thunder I was just waiting for the lightning.. BOOM! When I heard the lightning my eyes poped out of my head in fright! It was to spooky inside the windmill so I left to see the electric zaps of light. As I took two steps out of the windmill I heard a buzzing noise...As I turned around I saw the windmill start to collapse behind me! I ran. The fastest anybody will see me run. My adrenaline was rushing through me like when I have candy for breakfast, I ran to the closest tree and hid behind it. The night sky was as black as a cursed cat, The sky kept lighting up like the flash on a camera. I decided to look back at the windmill, But what I saw was horrifying.   

Beach Cookout

Today, April 5th Ruma Tahi and Waru went
down to Karoro Beach for the Willam Pike cookout challenge.

Today when we went down to the beach and
we got in our groups, our group parent was Clark Ellery.
He helped us get ideas on what would be better to do and
what to get for the fire. We had watched a video on how
to start a fire  and keep it going.

Last week we had planned what we were going to cook,
everybody had things to buy and bring. I had to bring tongs,plates and oil.
Sasha brought the food and Eamon had to bring cheese and tomato sauce.
We each gave her $5.00 towards the cost.

We had planned to cook burgers and smores. Sasha had also brought a
hot plate, so it was a lot easier to cook things.
First we started by putting the oil on 1 pattie and rubbing it on another
 to spread the oil. After we spread it, we put them on the hot plate and
waited for them to cook. When they had cooked we moved them to the
cooler side of the hot plate. Next we put all of the veggies into the burgers.   

My favorite part was when we got to eat the food, because
I wanted to know what the burgers would taste like.
I was really surprised because they tasted really good!
The smores were ok because I kept burning them.

This was such a fun experience and I would like to
do it again because it was nice to be outdoors and be around more  people.

Hi my name is Amy and I have a boyfriend called Tom. I have a brother called Josh. I  think he is jealous of Tom and I, because once Tom and I were kissing in our backyard, and then out of nowhere, Josh appeared and yelled, “STOP KISSING MY SISTER!” It freaked Tom out and he never came back to our house. But don’t worry, because I got my brother back when we were at the pool… I saw him about to kiss this girl and I wasn't letting that happened after what happened in our backyard, So I yelled, “ STOP KISSING MY BROTHER!!” Then he started yelling at me and chasing me around the pool.
