The Hail Storm
Hail Storm
It was a dim cloudy day. I was reading a book as the neon lightning danced around the dark cloudy sky. I put the book down and looked outside. I saw that it was now raining more and now the cold wet rain has heavy, I turned away from the wet window and picked up the open book. I stared at the book for a while then turned to the window one again noticing that it was now hailing. I put the book back down again i walked to the cold window and started at the snow white hail as it fell from the dark cloudy sky tapping on my clear window. I watched the bright bolts flashed through the clouds as I stood in front of the window. The hail storm stopped and I went back to reading my book.

Te Ao Maori
This term we have been doing maori, In maori we had to name the studios of our school. This what we have been working on.
Walk To Spencer Park
Yesterday most of our class went to Spencer Park. We went in vans and in parents cars to Broad Park. When we got there we played on the playground while we waited for everyone to arrive. We went on our walk/run as the cold breeze drifted through the park. Our class went in groups for the walk/run. When we got to Spencer Park Ali and Mezza where cooking sausages on the barbeque. Everyone lined up and got a sausage. The sausage was warm and it made the bread warm and soft in you're hands. We walked back to where we put our bags, The class played on the playground for the rest of the time we where there.
