We are a horse and carriage; we are slow at what we are supposed to do sometimes.

Our class is a bendy bus; we are up and down and a little bit weird.

We are a boom box; loud, noisy and sometimes crazy.

We are a kahikatea tree because we stretch our minds.

Emotive Writing

My heart was running away from me, I couldn’t catch up with it.  I heard a loud growl behind me.  Shadows fell on the ground.  I got creeped out.  We started sprinting away.  I fell!  Please let  me stay alive…

Ella and Josh

My heart was pounding, we were walking in the bushes and suddenly we heard a faint grumbling noise.  Why did it have to be this way and why did have to be us?  We were picking up pace and shivering with fear.  The noise was getting louder and louder.

Daniel A and Matilda

My heart was pounding.  The roar was getting louder and louder.  I was sprinting through the dark damp forest.  It was spooky.  We needed to find shelter.  I had goose bumps all over my body.  Suddenly…

Mac and George H

I was lying on a deserted island.  After that I dug a hole, my jaw dropped.  I fainted.  When I came to I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Testing tinfoil titanic boats

We added weights to our boats and counted them to see which boat could hold the most.

Charlotte and Matilda were the best boat designers.

Thanks for reading us a story

Testing rivets

So we have discovered that scientists believe that faulty rivets may have contributed to the speedy sinking of the titanic.  This was the first rivet test, using carrot rivets.  Hilarious and scientific.
