This week we are going on camp and the year 6's are going to Arthur's Pass and as part of that we had to  learn about all the risks about hiking. 


  

Quick Writes Term 4

We have been working on ‘Quick Writes.’  This is where you are given something to write about (a writing prompt) and you only have 10 minutes to write as much as possible using this writing prompt.

For our writing prompts we will use either images or short videos.

1) Fireworks

Fireworks

As I walked to the surrounding of the firework display I  was thinking that I just knew that it was going to be amazing. As I got to the front It was time. They counted down from 5. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1," it sounded as if it was a gun  being shot. A massive explosion of colours shot up in the sky. It was as if a ball of fire was being shot up in the sky and exploded out with colours. I was right. It was amazing!

2)Tomato Pulp

Tomato Pulp

People covered in red clumpy tomato pulp! Some people have goggles so that the tomato doesn’t get in their eyes. I hear squishing and splashing from the pulp and the juice. The smell is as rotten as the smell of feet and tomato pulp. I can see people slipping over constantly because of the tomato pulp. I can hear people moaning when the slip over.

3) Spider Man

Spider Man

As I walk into the streets of New York city I see Spider man in rainbow confetti. There is a parade going on behind him. I can smell petrol from the cars and buses. I can hear cars, buses and trains. I can smell kai from the food shops. I can hear people talking and the music playing behind Spiderman.

4) Stormy Day

Stormy Day

It was a stormy day and all I could see was grey clouds. I looked out the matapihi (Window) and I saw a flash of lightning. I heard the roar of thunder. I could hear the wind whistling. As I lay in bed I could start to smell all of the rain on the ground. I can smell the fishy mist from the ocean. What a miserable day.
