When it rains

 When it rains

it pours,

it sprinkles,

it splashes,

it drips

and it soaks farmers as they tend to their stock up the back of their fields.

It falls from the sky and saturates me.

I make rain when I cry, because of the passing of a loved one.

Our water funday

 Recount of our Water fun day.

Yesterday we were told to get changed at lunchtime into our togs. We knew why our school was having a water fun swim that afternoon and everyone was allowed to play in the water for the whole afternoon.  Sir had set it up because we had been super duper good students that year.  I couldn’t contain myself as I got changed.  I was so jiggly that I kept dropping my togs.  The afternoon finally arrived.

 First of all I went on a slippery water slide.  On my first turn it was fine but on my second turn I accidentally put my head on the soapy mat.  I ended up covered head to toe in soap.  Feeling a little bit embarrassed I went to the juniors playground to see if there were any activities.  The two little blue slides had water on them so I had a go on one of them because of the soap from the slide I sped to the bottom.  If I was on the road I would’ve been pulled over that's for sure.  After a few turns on that slide I walked over the court and onto the field.  There was a very big water slide there.  I decided to have a go.  When my turn came up I ran as fast as I could and dived onto the mat and shot down the mat and stopped just after half way.  I had three turns on the water slide and went to the pool to clean off.  I had just hoped in when I was hit in the head by a ball thrown by a boy in Te Kauru.  I whipped around to see who threw the ball but due to the crowd I couldn’t spot the boy from Te Kauru.  After that I wandered down to the end of the pool I just reached the end when Cassidy pounced on me.  Cassidy and I soon started to play tag and Reina asked to join in.  After 20 minutes of playing tag I got out , And headed to the blue slide on the seniors playground. The idea for this activity was to slide down the tunnel slide and fly out onto the yellow mats down the bottom and slide to the end of the yellow mats.  There was a sprinkler at the top of the slide to create a little stream of water.  When my turn arrived Sir shouted,’’Next!’’ and I jumped into the slide and came flying .

out and landed on my bottom, ‘’Holy moly that hurt!’’  I had five turns on that and then wandered over to the pool for a little swim.  Suddenly Cassidy jumped up and asked if we could play tag again so we played tag for ten minutes and then the bell went.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Conclusion

I was feeling full of joy when I hoped out and went to get my towel and clothes. That was one fun day that I would never forget.

Tsunami Warning

On the 5th of March 2021 there was a Tsunami alert.  My class was in the middle of maths when the alarms went off.  I got a huge fright. I had  never heard the alarms before. Suddenly the students in my class were rushing past me I had been so busy focusing on what the bell meant that I hadn’t heard the teacher say “go and get your bags!”  Later we all were standing under the shade of the gazebo.  About 7 minutes later all of the school was seated in the school whare. I was still wondering what the bell meant when the teachers told Te Kakano and Te Pihi to stand up and walk out the door of the whare .  Later all of the classes were walking on the edge of the road.                                              

After a few minutes of walking on the road we turned and went up the maunga next to our school.  There were bunches of gorse scattered around the path we were following.  As we climbed higher I could hear  some tamiriki squealing with pain as the gorse pricked their feet. l could also feel the gorse pricking my feet.  After a few more minutes of walking we sat down and later all of us were having a snack. I had my muesli bar and a biscuit.   After I had finished eating I started to play with my little doll named Rapunzel.  Her hair is really soft.  She's my little lucky charm.  I was lucky I had her with me today!                                                                     

   

Later, the teachers told us that we were going to move to the highest point of the maunga. Now that was a short but hard walk to the top of the maunga, it was a little bit steep, well at least there wasn’t much gorse. Finally we reached the top.   Me and my friends went to a lower part of the maunga. A couple of the boys put their heads in their bags  and had a small nap.  As I looked uphill I saw a big water container that some tamariki were getting some water out to drink.   Later me and some other girls played spy.  After I spy a few of the girls started styling  each other's hair. I joined in and did Lucy's hair while Kaydee did Mihi’s hair.  Just as I finished we were told to go to a lower part of the maunga.

This was because the gazebos had been brought up and they needed some lower ground.  As we made our way down I noticed that this part of the maunga was a little bit steeper.  But when we reached the end it was absolutely flat.  After a snack we played hand games and I brushed my dolls hair (Edmon did a little bit too).  When I looked up next the sausage sizzle was there.  After a few minutes the teachers announced that all the children in our school were allowed to have a sausage each.   Soon the delicious smell of sausage wafted along the fresh breeze.We had a sausage each and started to head back toback to school. We climbed over a gate and walked back to school through a field.We were all tired but happy what a fantastic day.
