Eye Witness of an Eruption.

It was 3p.m on a Wednesday with every one still doing there daily jobs. I had perched myself on my front door step. Suddenly I felt a cold breeze of wind and a sudden movement beneath the ground.I heard a loud BANG!!! that knocked me off my feet.
There I was witnessing Maunga Loa erupt. We were all frightened because it was the largest and most active volcano in the world. Most people got out of sight from the volcano but some didn't. The survivor's could do nothing but stand there and watch their town being destroyed and the tremendous lava flows demolishing everything in its sight.

Agent Red

One beautiful morning Agent Red went strolling through the forest to her grandma's. Then she heard something creeping in the bushes. She told herself to keep alert. There was the rabbit, looming up behind her shrouding her in darkness. She didn't notice until she saw the shadow come up from behind. She took one big kick to the face of the rabbit and dashed away...

Long Lean Lanky Jones!

A very strange thing happened at our Assembly last Friday. Everyone was surprised when our principal Mr Burt appeared on stage wearing a shiny long beautiful red dress with a wacky fluorescent wig, and dancing.
It was a little confusing to understand their song which was called Along Came Jones. It began with Mr Palmer one of our teachers, he came out, plonked himself down on a soft armchair and glued himself to the TV. Suddenly our assembly went wild with laughter, as our Principal pranced out in his fancy dress closely followed by the evil villain, played by Mr J. Then he tied her up and left her for dead on the railroad track"...watch and see what happened next.

We really enjoyed it and thought it was a hilarious example of our theme this term, which is called "The Art In Story Telling".

Rockclimbing

YAY! We are going Rockclimbing. Kelly drove us it was really far and finally we got to our destination.I sprinted in as fast as a cheetah, then Zane the person that worked there, he told us some saftey rules.I put on my harness and raced to the Indiana Jones wall.I climbed up like a monkey climbing away from a vicious predator.

Next I went to the tall bean stalk, I climbed to the very top and I looked down it looked like everybody had shrunk and as I fell down it felt like I was flying.When I hit the ground I felt so exhausted from using all my strength trying to climb the bean stalk.


I went to Zane to ask him which was the hardest wal? He said the wall with the ropes on it.I slithered over to the wall. I buckled my self up and I climbed up then I fell down it was too hard.

Finally the time came to go back to school and off we went.
