Volcano Explosion

Here is my moment in time writing about our volcano experiment we did in the sandpit.

SSS iii! The steam hurried out of the black rocky volcano.  “She’s gonna blow” bellowed Rocky and Alex. The steam was getting larger and larger. Soon the volcano started to shake. Everyone fled in excitement. “This is going to be a good one,” I thought to myself.

Suddenly the volcano started to do something amazing……… It exploded! The red fiery rock balls few out into the heavens and above. The lava slithered down the sides of the black volcano. Now the steam was really coming out. Everyone shouted, “wow”. I was impressed.  Suddenly bubbly bubbles started coming out the top of the volcano.

Te Ahuahu

Here is my recount about walking up TeAhuahu. Our focus was to add powerful verbs and appropriate adjectives.

Screech! the orange and white school bus stopped in an instant. “Holy moly,” Jack whispered slowly. “That's going to be impossible” shouted a random school kid. Everyone gazed their eyes at the amazing Te Ahuahu mountain. We all hoped of the school bus like bunny rabbits hopping to the victory side. “Catch you later,” bellowed the bus driver in a deep voice.

Tap tap! Our feet slowly made their way up the giant mountain.

The bright burning sun was hotter than ever. Finally we reached the grassy wet track. “My legs are so tired,” moaned Jack. Finally we reached the top of the mountain. Everyone was eating their lunch.

Suddenly Mrs Craig shouted, “put your lunch boxes away.”

“Who’s that?” whispered Antonio. I looked down and what I saw was bright black & blue truck.

Errrrkkk! the truck stopped. Out poked a rusty, old boot. Do you know who it was? It was Hone!

Suddenly Matua Hone started pointing at random places. I didn’t know what he was talking

about because he was taIking in maori. A few minutes later he told us about the great history

of the four mountains. After he finished talking we had a little five minute free play.

“Time’s up,” shouted all the teachers. Everyone ran like tigers down to the nearest gate and we had our lunch.
