optimas yachting

day 1 : 14.11.2018   

I tenei ra (today) is the Tuatahi (first)day for room 16 / 17 to go optimist yachting.  Kingston and I went together and we felt like getting soaked

. After rere(sailing)  like pros we, decided to ask Mr Russ if we could capsize .

Mr Russ got us in to an open space and said in a gentle voice,

“Kingston, move to the front of the yacht and hold on to the  mast and tight.” He pulls back…” pene!

(bang)

Within seconds we are soaked and now the hard part... to flip that yacht. We hold on to the centerboard, then kick our feet up on the bottom of the bright karaka ( orange) yacht.  We lean back. plop. The yacht is ready to sail again apart from the yacht being half full of disgusting salt water.

We get called into the shore to go tubing.

Red Color poem

Red Color poem  

Red is blood splattered all over a murder scene

Red is chubby santa trying to get himself thru the cold ecoy chimney

Red is fire burning everything in its path to ashes

Red tastes like cherries at christmas

Red smells like fresh picked strawberries at the strawberry patch

Red sounds like a  frozen breakfast smoothie on a hot 9am morning  

Red feels like walking thru a pool of infected blood

Red looks like anger on a hot summer's day

Red makes me angry

Colour poem

Colour poem

Green Is Lush green overgrown grass

Green is the leaves plummeting down from the tree tops

Green is disgusting mold festering in a damp Bathroom

Green tastes like a crisp Granny smith apple waiting to be devoured

Green smells like fresh cut lawn awaiting water  

Green sounds like a frog croaking in the sun set like a movie ending

Green is a tennis ball free falling into my soft skin filled palmes

Green looks like creativity

Green makes me want to play outside   

My life

Hapaitia te ara kika pumav ai te rangatiratanga mo nga uri whakatipu.

Foster the pathway of knowledge to strength independence and growth
for future generations.   

My story starts early on the 30th of November. My dad was outside of the room waiting
for one
more, baby in the Hastings Hospital but it wasn't one just, one normal baby it’s one
troublemaker ready to kick something, more then just my mum.

Heretaunga was home if not, playing out the, back of kmart with my kauaemua and
dad or at my
kauaemua’s netball.

I love sports if I didn’t have sports I would not, know what to do with myself

My favorite sports, are eke paihikara (cycling)  , Cricket, Canoe Polo, Bearfoot Rugby,
Soccer
and poipūtā (squash).

When I’m not doing sports I’m retireti hukarere (skiing) and snowboarding or riding
motopaika
(motorbikes) on a farm or at a friend's place.

My Koro (grandad) is a farmer on the, outskirts of Wanganui, with a cemetery right
outside their
house where my nana lays there in peace. After passing away when I was six years old
and my
Dad's, mum passing away  when I was 8 years old and my dad’s father was a railroad
worker.

Although it was a large whānau with three tama, from my dad’s mum and three kotiro,
all important jobs,
one designs aircraft for air NZ, works for Higgins, a contractor farmer, works at the,
hospital,
physiotherapist, and veteran olympian physiotherapist, for Aotearoa in 2013 and last
but not least my dad
who works at Kmart as a manager.  

My whanau is very important to me, because they're always, there for me when I need it.

Another thing that is important is sport because if I didn’t have sport, I would almost not
want to live
because sport is the greatest thing in the world.   

My goals for the second half of the year is to sign up for as ,much sports as I can and be
the best student
that I can be getting better scores on knowledge test’s and as much, quality writing.

alcatraz griller

As breaking news bellows threw the old ecoy  living room a grillar has gone on a

rampage threw the town square.

Although it’s animal it gets treated like a prisoner but it’s not no food for the rest of

its life till it dies but it's not just that the cell is cold damp and dark.

Until now.

He has a plan to escape from the island but there’s a problem it's in the middle of the

San Francisco  Bay. Escape is impossible on the alcatraz but he thinks it will work .

Five years of work “ it’s time “ “it’s now or never”  he places a man made stuffed

gorilla in  the tallest oak tree to make them think he was still there when he wasn’t

moving.

“ I’m out” as rain and  six foot waves crumble like his life against the ice cold rocks
 but then one and one thing only catches his eye a large fishing boat on the shore
but its a problem it's not a fishing boat it's a boat for the guards going home to see
their family  he sneaks on the back of the boat and what could be one of the most
famous escapes  in the world.

One hour later he finds himself  on the mainland then once everyone’s gone
he makes a run for it and comes across a car dump where busted  up cars come to
die then he sees a hole bunch of trees hanging over a rusty barbed wire fence.

He crepes under the fence and called the bushy place home but it’s not just his home it’s heaps more animals.  

Pearl Harbor bombing

Pearl Harbor bombing

As the US Navy dock their war ships, Aircraft carriers and destroyers but then they get an ugly, welcome of the 350 Japanese dive bombers and Torpedo bombers dropping bombs all over Pearl Harbor.

Bombs dropped from hundreds, of feet but there were many casualties that day so the US retaliate and they took on the japanese planes and the japanese, planes were in the bottom of the ocean or crashed on land by anti- aircraft guns loaded on the side of Pearl Harbor.

The US navy and military wanted revenge on the japanese so they decided to drop a Atomic bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Then the japanese declared war on the US then they stormed Normandy on the 6th of june D-day when the US took Omaha.

triangle of terror

Triangle of terror

As a worried group of tana set of for an adventure of a lifetime finding  in the blumutal triangle

As soon as they hit the middle they of the blumutal triangle one man dives
in to the worst spot in the sea and ocean.

The waves start to tip the boat and then the radio transmitter sounds all
fuzzy then the coordinates were wrong until they came to a complete stop.

While they thought they had a problem they didn’t have one as bad as this
, he’s surrounded by sharks and one move that he made would cost him
his life he finds then he sees that something's up so he races away and
then the shark screams after him and rips his leg  of and then he finally
gets to the boat as they get the motor started and rushes him to hospital.

  

Rich Task

Mini me

 

Room 16/17 have been working on mini me's.  My mini me is an Australian cricketer playing in the ashers cup between Australia and England. 

Life or death

Life or death

Crack, bang, thud!!! Land suddenly falls into the bottom of the sea, my house splits
in half then I jump in one half hoping I’ll stay safe.

He gets it wrong “Why am I moving Help, if anyone can hear me help
” He screams but nobody can hear him it’s too late the water is to cold and I’m out to
far.

As he drifts out he watches the sunset go down until all he can see is ant size, sun is
down and all light is gone apart from a fire glowing in his house in his fireplace.

He rades for four simple things and they are : food , water, a wifi hotspot and a
phone to call someone and eat+ drink luckily he finds all of the supplies and calls
for help from the Coast Guard.

An hour later he finds himself knee deep  in salt water, he leaps out of bed and
rushes up to the adic and hops up on the roof and then he finds a small fant light
in the sky “Help , Help me !!!!” screamed the scared man, the light belows closer and closer until “ do
not worry we are here to help you”  they send down the harness “ hold on tight “ the coast guard
barks.

The harness retracts and pulled up  a poor soal dragged away from a house that is
more so wreckage. As they fly away he thinks what could of happened if he was
one of the people that could poteanchily be dead.
