WINTER
`
Winter blows its cold icy breath everywhere.
The early morning frost is crunchy and white covering the green grass.
The loud wind howls in the freezing air like a stray dog hungry for a bone.
Tiny snowflakes flutter down to land on the frozen ground,
covering everything with a white sparkling blanket.
The trees become bare, brown bones standing like statues admiring the view.
Heavy rain falls from the dark grey sky, pounding against the soggy ground.

Chilly bitterness in the air, winter is here.


                                 Autumn  - DRAFT
Leaves swaying down from the big brown trees. Birds chirping from up above the soggy trees. Slip slop leaves dropping from the trees. The sun bearing down on everyone backs. Crash bang cold icey balls dropping from the big black cloud.

Leaves swaying down from the big brown trees. Birds chirping from up above the soggy trees. Pitter Patter! Leaves fall from the trees. The sun burns down on everyone’s backs. Crash bang! Cold icey balls of autumn rain drop from the big black clouds.

Erupting Volcano

Here is my moment in time writing about our volcano experiment.

Boom bang! The huge volcano erupted when Mrs Craig poured in the ingredients. “Wow!” everyone yelled out loud. The froth rushed out of the cup. Boom! I could just imagine what it would look like in real life. I could see the red froth flowing down in the sand.


Te Ahuahu

Here is my recount about walking up Te Ahuahu

“Stomp stomp!” Everyone raced into the big red bus. It zoomed to the mountain, bump bump. We all lined up to walk Te Ahu Ahu  mountain. The mountain was as green as a big slippery jelly. “Yuss we’re there!” shouted Cyprus. Stomp, stomp! I trudged up the huge tiring maunga. We all trudged and trudged up the grassy path. We walked under the burning ball of fire.
