Callaghan's ridge

the storm mill

WALT use adjectives and similes to describe a setting clearly

Example

Lightning never strikes twice, does it?

That was the question that occupied their frightened minds as
they crouched, huddling together, next the pile of dusty sacks in the base of the windmill…

   PLANNING!

What sounds could you hear during a thunderstorm?
BOOM’ CREEK, CRASH!!!

What can you see? What are your feelings?  
Are you touching anything? Are there any smells? SCARED AND
WORRIED.  I SEE BLACK
CLOUDS AND TREES FALLING OVER.

You might be able to think of some onomatopoeia.

Could you write a short paragraph describing
what it would be like to be caught in a storm, using some of your ideas from above?

As the darkness filled
the sky i was horrified i ran inside
but the windmill was
so creaky.2 hours later
i opened the door the storm was even
worse i ran outside
just in time to see the windmill
tip over then the storm was over.

marae recount

On Tuesday 5th of March my class and room 8 went to            
 Arahura marae. We went in parent cars. It was not what was
I was expecting. The marae was very modern and also a bit
traditional all metal but the pillars were wood.
 There was a good cafe. Lovely food too

We went to the beach with the adults and a stone expert.
During the river walking we had to find pounamu.
I learnt about stones and other Maori legends.

We had s'mores to and in the end I had a good time.
We did waiata and singing.and slept in the wharenui.
I did not sleep well because people kept on talking and
making sounds.

The next morning we went on a walk. We went to Lake Mahinapua
to learn about some history. We got back by parent cars.

Wero

We have been learning about maori tikanga and my group made this stop animation to explain what at wero is.
