Marae Visit | WPCA

This week room one and room eight stayed the night at the Arahura Marae.

When we arrived we walked to the gates and waited for a few minutes to be let in. when we got let in the gates the tangata whenua started calling us to the front of the marae. after that we took off our shoes and sat down inside and then sung some waiata and we also gave them our gift.

After that we went back out to the cars to grab our bags and put them in the place where we were going to sleep. Then we learnt about the stories and history of the carvings that were in the marae.

A few hours later we got the options of 2 activitys I picked carving and rippa rugby. The next day we walked to the beach for about an hour to make sand sculptures of the characters from the story we were told before we left. Then we packed up our stuff and left to do the mananui tramline walk.

Lightning Never Strikes Twice

WALT use adjectives and similes to describe a setting clearly

Lightning Never Strikes Twice

Aaaaaaah screamed the old fat cat lady outside as she woke me up from my sleep. I looked out the window and I saw IT! The MASSIVE Black cloud was flying above the windmill

I knew there was no time to run. The sky turned grey BANG! Lightning had put the cat lady’s house in to flames AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! She repeated as her hair burst into flames. I hid under some boxes and acted like I never saw anything. I peeked out the window and I noticed another windmill opposite me I could see a slight figure of a girl standing at the window. Crack! The wind started to pull the windmill apart. It broke like a popsicle stick house. Suddenly I saw that the roof was falling and I knew that it was the end.
