Safety Tips For Camp

This week we are going to camp on Arthur's Pass. We had to get into groups to present our knowledge about safety tips about the bush and hypothermia. Here is our work.

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

As I walked through the streets I smelt the strong aroma of smoke. I stared in amazement as the building exploded with colour. There was so many different colours.  I felt as if I was lost in a heavy cloud. It was chaotic!  Everyone was shocked and screaming. I was blinded as the smoke surrounded me.  It was the most amazing and terrifying thing I had ever seen my life.  

2)Tomato Pulp

As the fight started everything went red! All I could smell was the sticky smell of tomatoes.  There was the squelching sound of tomatoes being squashed. Suddenly I was hit flat in the face with a tomato! I looked up, everyone around me was covered from upoko (head)  to toe in tomatoes. I was lucky I was wearing goggles because tomatoes sting when they get in your eyes!

3) Spiderman

As the confetti fell it reminded me of a āniwaniwa (rainbow). In the busy streets of New York City a huge sculpture of SpiderMan floated through the street. There was so much sound! Between the sound of the traffic and the talk of people I couldn’t hear a thing. Then I got a whiff of some food and followed the smell out of the crowd. I was glad to be out of the crowd!

4) Stormy Day

As I Lay in bed, I listened to the pounding of the rain on the roof. Then suddenly my

room lit up with rauuira (lighting) ! I listened for the whaitiri (thunder). Then I heard the

BOOM of the thunder. I lay still as the rain got heavier. I felt scared. My windows were shaking in the howling wind. Then I smelt the muddy smell of the grass outside. I just hugged my paraikete (blankets) trying to keep warm. Suddenly my light went out I knew there had been a power cut.
