The sour, bitter thing

Miss Taylor had us held in suspense all through morning tea. Everybody was wondering what is this going to be? Finally it was time.

It felt like an orange that is slightly smaller. It had a rough texture on one side and smooth on the other side. It was like there were little strings in it as if you stuck your hand into a rubber band ball and felt all the rubber bands.

I took a bite and a whole aroma of multiple things pop up, sour, bitter, and a little tangy, sweet and delicious. It was as if I was in heaven it was that good. The juice was so strong that it’s like a muscle car showing off its horsepower.

I heard crunches as I bit down on the object, and a little flow of juice as if it was a river running down the strong substance.

Finally, we got to know what it was. It looks like a little yellow wedge that has strong juice flowing all over it. It was my favourite type of sour and bitter thing I had ever tasted. It was a small, bright yellow, lemon.

Metaphor poem

Over the past two weeks Room 7 have been learning how to write effective metaphors. A metaphor is a direct comparison to an object/thing.

We then made a metaphor poem about ourselves. We had to describe ourselves in different ways. As a lolly or treat, a sandwich, a piece of clothing, something from the community, a car and a tree.

Some of these metaphors were tricky.

What Happened

BEEP!BEEP!BEEP! I reluctantly wake up. It feels like a usual day. I look at my alarm clock its 5:30am. I go out into the lounge and look at the telescope. I think eh, why not? I look through the telescope and try to spot Mars, where it usually is but it's gone. I think eh? and start to head back to bed, I notice it's quite hot... too hot. 

I wake up 2 hours later I notice I'm stuck to the blankets after that mess, I get up and go to the lounge and everyone's up.  Half an hour later we go to the beach. When we get setup we head down to the water, noticing there's no water  there so we just kept walking and walking until we faintly saw South America. We were too weirded out so we all went home and jumped in, the ice cold pool.

Willy wonka story

Meeting Mr Willy Wonka

As I walk into this mystical  solitude of greatness I am greeted  with a peculiar man named Mr Willy Wonka. Wonka has  remarkable  colours on his pants top and everywhere else,  It was as if he had a wedding on and there was a brief, it was to be colourful. Wonka has been thinking very hard over the last few exciting  days.

I take 10 steps of wobbly confidence and I have come into the room of endless glory. I look upon this room, as if  it was heaven. I’m so happy with these smells that I have inhaled, rosemary, ginger, chocolate, caramel and  hazel.

The pounding of the Oompa Lumpas as they work fill’s my ears. I taste the tempting chocolate  sucking up all the room my taste buds can taste.When Willy Wonka lets me dip my hand in the  4.6 foot tall container I feel the divine   and sensational chocolate. The next adventure awaits in the inventing room.

Chapter three Empire. Have we found anything yet? “Yes”said Mc candyman. “What did you find candy”? I found all the food.”Good” What did you find professer snape”? “I have found all the knives forks all the kitchen appliances mam”. I have found clothes sleeping bags all the house materials and bedroom, bathroom and lounge and outdoor materials.”We need to start small and build a big empire but first we are going to start with a house  and build an empire slowly”! Said Mrs May.” Any questions”?”No”!!!! They all say. Chapter four The build. Bang bang bang  “Now  that we have got all the walls up and all the doors and windows, cut out and ready to put in”. UUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! “ I think that might be the cannibals  urr uuuuummmm I don’t know what to do now” I say.Chapter five Preparing.” People people before we get carried away with the house we need weapons”. I say.  After the conversation we get prepared with armour and weapons. I have got a platnium sword and armour and everyone  as well. As we head into battle I get hungry, hot, thirsty and all the things that you, need to help you stay alive. Luckily I have my trusty old backpack with suncream, food and water. Chapter six The clashes. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! The sound of armour clashing swords with their own tune of music are filling my ears as I look for Elgero the cannibals leader. Once I catch a glimpse of Elgero in his cabin on his rocking chair I rush towards him and when he sees me, gives me a sharp look  of hatrid and anger. Chapter seven The boss fight. As soon as I make my way into the room something different appears on him instead of ragged old clothes he’s wearing a crown, gold armour and a steel club. Before we fight I hear him talking to me saying things. “Yuuno you should’ve never arrived, here in the first place because you dont want to get slaughtered do you. Elgero says. “ I wouldn't particularly want that no” I say. “ so how you wanna settle this huh” I say. “I’d like to settle like old fashioned charge eh”. Elgero anxiously says. I go first it didn't take long to eliminate him, I just had to charge and the sword went through the wood and Elgero was pinned to the wall forever. Chapter eight The unexpected visitors. As we head back home to finish it off We hear a helicopter hovering over us. “You’re OK guys well reil you in”. The person talking into the megaphone yells. A ladder comes down and we all climb up up there waiting for us is sleeping bags, porridge and a hot cup of milo. Then we head back to dunedin airport to go home. Chapter nine Home sweet home.
