Poetry

  LI:To write a limerick poem.        


Limerick poem

There once was a boy name Roy
Whose life was filled with Joy
He looked at the sky he saw a giant pie
He didn’t want to die
Roy was filled with joy.

                          


Limmerick poem
 Alex
 There once was a  Girl named Lizzy
whose hair was kind of frizzy.
She looked at the ground.
She saw a fat clown.
Lizzy was kind of dizzy.

             Limerick   poem
              There once was a Boy named Jim
         Whose mum never taught him to  swim.
                     He jumped of the dock
                      he drowned like a rock
                  and that was the end of Jim

The Haunted mall

Boo,one spooky night a ghost was hovering around in a mall. When the mall closed the Security guard was  spooked out every night.The only things he had were a flash light and keys.The security guard could hear strange noises coming from the elevator.The security guard was wondering what the ghost was saying he could never hear what he said so he just went up the escalator and patrolled the top of the building just to see if people weren’t hiding.The security guard was a tall muscular man his fear was spiders.He would go home and wonder what would happen the next day.

Musseum report writting



The Auckland War Memorial Museum

The Auckland War Memorial Museum is an  enormous place. People  from other countries  come and look at the outstanding  exhibits. People could learn about dinosaurs, the Maori culture  and about ancients weapons and artifacts.

The museum is like the white house but a little bit browner.It is also three stories high and has thirty different displays and galleries which has a range of exhibits. It is located near the Auckland Hospital in the Auckland Domain.


The carvings on the wall In the Wharenui took a very long time to make . The carvings are perfect.Each carving tells a different story.The carvings on the wall depict warriors.The Maori used wooden drills with a piece of stone tied on the end of it to make holes on wood.

Upon entering the volcano room one  would find a large TV screen which shows the audience scenes from a volcanic eruption. One can see smoke rising from the sea.Out of nowhere a massive deadly explosion occurs and it makes the audience scramble for shelter.

The Auckland War Memorial Museum is a place visited by school children, tourists and people from all over the world to learn about the Maori culture and customs and about Aotearoa.

The Rock Warriors retold by: Alexander

              The   Rock Warriors retold by: Alexander


The Patupaiarehe  people lived around the lakes of Rotorua at a placed called’’ Ngongotaha’’ hUndreds of years ago.These people  had fair skin and they were very excellent  gardeners.

The Tipua people were giants and they were very bad tempered.These people wanted to take the wonderful lakes and the land away from the Patupaiarehe  people.

One day the Tipua giants decided to attack the Patupaiarehe people. The Patupaiarehe people went to their leader and asked him to save them. Tongakahu was a good leader and he was also a good magician.

Tongakohu went on top of Ngongotaha mountain and lit a fire and he cast a magic spell.The Tipua  warriors started feeling, tired so they stopped for a rest, When they wanted to move they felt their skin cracking.They started to turn into rocks. If you go to that mountain you will see them.

Tongakohu was finally able to save his people from the Tipua giants of Kaimai Mountains.

HOW THE KIWI LOST HIS WINGS

                         HOW THE KIWI LOST HIS WINGS


One day Tanemahuta was walking through the forest.He looked up and saw his children reaching for the sky. He chatted with his brother Tanehokahoka,who called the birds of the air together. “Something is eating my children and I need one of you birds from the  forest roofs to live on the floor so that my children can be saved”. The birds were quiet and not one spoke a word.

Tanehokahoka turned and looked at Tui.”Will you come down  to the ground instead of living on the forest roof”?. “It’s too dark” the Tui  replied. Tanehokahoka  turned to Pukeko and asked, “Would you come down and live on the forest floor”?.hee asked “It’s too wet, I don’t want my feet to get wet” said the Pukeko.

Tanehokahoka asked Pipiwharauroa “ Would you come and live down on the forest floor”?.  “No I'm too busy building my nest” said the Pipiwharauroa. Tanehokahoka asked the Kiwi “ Would you come down to the forest floor”? Kiwi looked around, he looked up at the sun and then he looked around and saw his family.He said  “Yes I will live on the  forest floor”.

Tanemahuta told kiwi that he has to  grow big thick legs so that he can use it to tear logs apart. You will lose  your beautiful  feathers and you will not  be able to return to the forest roof ever again. You also will never see daylight again.
  

Tanehokahoka turned to the other birds and said to the Tui “ Tui you will wear two white feathers on your throat to mark you as being a coward”. Tanehokahoka  turned to Pukeko and said “ For not going to live on the forest floor because you did not want your feet to get wet you will live in the swamp for ever”.

Tanehokahoka turned and looked at Pipiwharauroa and said “ Because you did not go live on the forest floor, and  you were building your nest, you will lay your eggs in other birds nest”.
Tanehokahoka turned to Kiwi and said “ Since you decided to live on the forest floor you will be the most loved bird!”.

Tanemahuta was very pleased that the Kiwi agreed to protect his children living on the forest floor.

Road safety

Constable Julie came from the Glen Innes Police Station to our school to teach us about road safety. Road safety is important because you might not see the car and get hit but when you learn road safety you will no if a car is coming. We learnt how far it takes a car to stop. It wasn't easy because we didn't have a long enough ruler to measure the distance, instead we used our legs. I enjoyed learning how to be safe and how long it takes a car to stop.

A simile is a sentence that compares two things by saying they are similar to each other,using the words like or as

she was pretty as Kelly clarkson
It was as old as the great wall of china
He took off like lightning
The pig smelt like old socks
the old man was as mean as John key
my Grandmother was gentle as a feather
the dog was cooler than S.B.W
He  was as talented  as a musician.
The boy ran like a cheetah.
His pancakes tasted like waffles.
His room was as messy as  my room.
