Callaghans ridge recount

O n thursday the 11 of april 2019 my class along with room 1 miss Kemp and some parents went and did the callaghans ridge walk. when we got we had to wait for the parent to drop the cars of at the other end of the track. We had already gotten given a scavenger hunt to do during the walk so we started to tick things off by what was around as. During the walk it started to rain hard but we still had to keep going. The bush was beautiful and alout of the thing were on the scavenger hunt like button fern, kidney fern, blue mushrooms and bell birds. After awhile we stopped for lunch but before we could eat we had to build a bavi with just some rope and a tarpaulin. After we had eaton we had to pack up are bavi and make it look like we hadn’t even been their.

Overall I think it was a good walk just very dump and it wasn’t just because of the run I have done other walks in that area and they are all dump so you would want to do it on a dry day. But it is still worth doing the walk. Evan through it is 4 hours long it is quite an easy walk to do.

beach cookout

On Wednesday the 3 of april 2019  room 1 and room 8 along
with the parents and teachers.  We went down to Karoro beach
by the Tasman Sea. We went down to the beach to do a beach
cookout.

We basically went to the beach and built a tipi fire then waited
for it burn to ashes and then start cooking some food.
Our group made sausages and pancakes.
I was very happy with the way that they turned out.
They were very nice and we had extra to give Ms Kemp.

We cooked in groups; in my group was me, Jack, Phoebe, and Clem. The adult with our group was Kelly (clem’s mom).  We did the beach cookout for William Pike Challenge but also it because it is a good life skill that we could used in the future and just to have a break and go down and have some fun.

Ride Of The Supers

Sleeping, I have been for many years wondering what inhabits this planet. Are the humans still there? I saw them about 2 hundred years ago when I last woke up.               

                

My siblings Flameatou and Ashfer had told me about these creatures.
 They had been in their countries for hundreds of years but it was the first time
I had seen them in Aotearoa. They were  deadly hunters, colonising the
world but weak like most creatures.
They were smarter than most animals and getting stronger by the day,
still I decided not to blow.

I have blown before, about 300 thousand years ago.

I was bored, there nothing to do and plus that annoying worm bug keep
waking me up. The eruption took care of him  but that wasn’t the only thing.
It took care of Flameatou and Ashfer all the way from where they were
on the earth. Apparently humans  in Greece had recorded red skies for months.
Still I wasn’t surprised after all I was the taniwha of one of the
super volcanoes;I can destroy half the world.
What would be really dangerous is if Flameatou and Ashfer and me
blew at the same time.

Any way, it was time to go see the world and what had happened
to it in the time that I was sleeping. I opened one eye.
The light rushed, in blinding me but I shook it off and flew up through the
tunnel to ski through the water. Oh, I forgot. A lake had formed on top
of the volcano. And now I’m drenched!

But I’ve got bigger problems than that, I thought, looking over the land.
What happened to the bush? The beautiful forest?
The sound of the bird’s, the majestic moa and the Haast eagle?
That was a funny bird last time I was awake.
I saw it pick up 5 year old children and carry them off.
But now it’s all gone, all of it and in its place... is trouble!
Big metal cubes billowing out smoke, the
ground covered in stone, smaller objects whizzing around
but still leaving trials of smoke and a weird brightly colored material that
people keep dropping on the ground. Whatever it is, it is not good for the
environment.I fly back to the volcano as fast as I can.
I need to call Ashfer and Flameatou.

I get to the volcano and slowly breath
some fire, instantly it roars up into the air.
After a while the dancing flames start forming into my troublesome siblings.
Even though they are just holograms it looked like they were actually there.
 “Have you seen the disgrace the humans have turned this beautiful
planet into?” I said hastily.
“They need to go so we need to blow, all three of us and now.”

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” asked Ashfer.

“It’s what we need to do. The humans are destroying the earth and we
need to stop them,”said Flameatou.“Right, it’s settled then.
Let’s do it now, the sooner the better,” I said and then hung up.

I went down to the bottom of the volcano, in and blew.
The lava rumbled getting higher. It sprang out the top and into the air,
the fiery red storm devouring everything in its path.
