Gripping the Wire

Vague prayers emerge in my blood rushed brain. Adrenaline ruling my petrified body, commanding me to continue the unsteady and uncertain death sentence. My muscles cry for mercy but I keep struggling forward. My legs buckle under my trembling upper body as I leap toward my life saver. The rugged wooden platform, the rugged uneven platform.

Finding a Way

Panting in fear

wind brushing my face .
Wiping the tears never look back at the gun and flare
If only mummy were here.
As I run further and try to hide
I'm filled with fear
I can not bear it no longer because I'm so scared
Running home as fast as I can
I desperately need a new plan.

I'm lost without

I fly freely down the vertical  stairwell as I go cheerfully to my lovely friend that
patches up my heart as everyday goes by. If I didn't have him my life will just end.
Finally I realise he is gone.

Hard Materials Technology

The year 8 planning their boat hulls for technology.  Their Inspiration came from the America's cup, so the year eights could win because team New Zealand didn't :(

Passage in time

My chest heaves as my mattered blood stained hair collapses over my watery eyes. Waterfalls of blood gushes from my temple. I bow my head towards my palms, skin dangles and sways in the speed of my flee. I risk a glance behind and blood shot eyes x-ray me.

Baking

Last term we had to write a poem about a topic of our choice.  My topic that I chose is baking. Here is my poem.

Placing the apron over my head

Washing my hands like my mother always said

Putting the ingredients on the table

And realised I misread the label

Mixing crippled dough

Fresh warm smells drown my senses

Stroking spoons with tongues

Children burning there miniature fingers

While the smell of cookie lingers

Finally the timer stops

Touching the crispy golden tops

The soft fluffy fusion warms my taste buds

As the dishes sit and soak in the suds

Devouring my yummies

As it sits and warms their tummies

It was the dish of the day

All done yay

Dog safety training

Dog safety training! We had two people from Selwyn

District council talking to Kiwi and Kereru class all about 

how to react when we're around dogs.

They taught us about why dogs behaviour 

is how it is, how to be a good owner and how to deal with

situations with lost dogs or just dogs without their 

Owners.

This is Seeka!! Three students from both Kiwi and Kereru 

came up and gave her a pat. We learnt where to pat

her and how. We also got told to always listen to the 

owners response.
