Road Patrols

On Wednesday we did road patrols. Constable Teina came to talk to us

about the rules. Constable Teina took us to the pedestrian crossing so we can learn how to do patrols for next year. She said 2 volunteers to do it and I put my hand up and the other person was Bella. When we were carrying the lollipops it felt very heavy. I was the trailer and Bella was the truck in front. We had to wear these vests so the people that are driving know that we are keeping safety for our school. When we did the patrols we had to hook the wire up to the  black and white pole that was where Bella was. I was on the other side with the police lady. As soon as we started Bella was the leader and I was the follower. She had to say Signs out look right. Then she said check, then I said clear, then she said cross now. After that she said Signs in. We kept on switching being the leader and follower. What I learnt was that if a car is behind the white shaped diamond you can put the signs out. It was really fun but I was very nervous at the same time. I was shaking a bit with the lollipop but I got through it.

Breaking news

New Zealand's rocking earthquake

An earthquake hit New Zealand on the 14th November. As soon as it happened the roads were ripping apart and roofs from houses were tearing apart. Also the roads had made big gaps between and looked wrecked. The places that were badly hit were Kaikoura, Christchurch and Wellington. Some people in Auckland felt it too.  There was a tsunami near Kaikoura after the earthquake and it was 2.5 metres high.  If you're in a earthquake/tsunami alert you could save yourself -  if you had a earthquake you could hide yourself underneath something that is strong. For a tsunami you could save yourself  by going to high land but make sure it is higher than the tsunami.  

Cherry Blossom Art

Last Friday we did art and made paintings of cherry blossom trees.

Step #1 We painted the background blue so it has a good setting and green for the bottom for the grass. We added some purple to the sky so it can be little bit dark.

Step #2 We practised to blow the black paint to make the branches of the trees so we didn't make mistakes. Soon we did the real one blowing the black paint on the painting with the sky and the green grass.

Step #3 At last we painted the pink, white and purple to make the petals for our blossom tree.

Angel the Hero

Once upon a time there lived a monster called Angel that lived in the Pridelands with humans. There was an evil monster that lived in the evil forest that did not like Angel. The monster didn’t like Angel because he thinks that she should be really bad.The evil monster always liked to scare the people of land and Angel because he doesn't like good people. He likes bad people. One day Angel was just having a good night sleep after the mistakes that had happened in the day. She said I'd rather go to sleep because it’s pretty late. That was the night when the evil monster came to kidnap Angel. As soon as she woke up, it was rise and shine but she didn't know were she was. Then after that she realised where she was but it was too late. The evil monster was going to put her in the fire. She tried to get the key to unlock the cage but she couldn't reach. After 10 minutes she reached for the key and she got it so she put it in the keyhole to unlock it. The plan worked and she got out. She quietly and quickly went past the evil monster. She quickly ran off to the Pridelands and got dressed in her proper clothes. After she was ready in her proper clothes, she went to make a trap for the evil monster to get him to move away from the Pridelands. As soon as the evil monster knew that Angel was gone he quickly ran to the Pridelands. As soon as Angel had finished the trap she hid until the evil monster came. She had to be quiet because the evil monster was coming. As soon he got closer to the trap Angel snapped. The evil monster went into the net at last. Angel said finally I caught him. Angel had one thing to say to him. It was sorry Mr you're going to jail .That was the day when Angel began to be a hero in her own life.
