Tree planting in Waitahuna

Tree planting at Waitahuna. On Tuesday room 7 and room 4 went to the Murrays farm and went tree planting and electric fishing. We left school about 9:30 am and came back at 12:30. Everyone went by car and came back by car. While we were with Keiran and Angus showed us an eel that he had in a net overnight. He also showed electric fishing, which is where using an electric current to stun the fish, so they can catch them and look at them more closely. Lamprey eels are very rare, and it was the first one Keiran had ever seen. They are ancient fish, sometimes called a sucker eel  because they don’t have a jaw and they just suck. He told us that the bigger the fish, the more effective the electric shock would have on them.

House on fire

House on Fire. I am a firefighter watching as the fire consumes the house. The flames are crackling as I stand  on the ground. The flames are climbing like a spider. The smoke is blowing like leaves in the wind. Some firefighters are keeping the fire  under control by squirting with the hose.THUD!!!! The roof caves in. They’re spraying again.   Crumble!!! Now the wall falls down. Imagine being in there. It’s just melting like chocolate. Now it  has fallen over Now the firefighter’s are just spraying until there’s nothing just a messy bedroom.

Modigliani Self Portrait

This is my  Modigliani self portrait .

This is me as you can see.

My blue shirt is my  school T-shirt.

Modigliani's have long necks, also they are very skinny as if someone has stretched them out.

Swimming at school 2017

This term we did some swimming. We did photos on the side of the pool, and we were doing freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. In the little pool we had a special swimming instructor and we learned how to breathe easier. We are getting ready to do lengths in the school swimming sports.

Athletics Day

Last Friday we had Athletics day. My favorite sport was  high jump. The sausage sizzle was really good and the water was refreshing. The obstacles were terrific, sprints great, discus superb, shot put super and long jump fantastic. I had a great day.
