Storm

Room Five wrote sense poems about the storm in Auckland last night. So here is mine...

I could see the green sparks bouncing off our power lines.

I could taste the hot Milo pouring down my throat.

I could feel the blankets tucked around me like a sausage.

I could hear the thunder drumming on my roof.

I could smell the pizza cooking in the oven.

Storms make me feel warm and safe inside my house.

Superpowers!!!

CRASH!!!! “What was that?!?!” (In my dream I was demolishing a building) I screamed. I looked at the clock beside my bed 3:34am. After my eyes woke up I realised I was floating about 30 centimeters above my bed. What has happened to me? I asked myself.

Then the only thing that made a tiny bit of sense was that I was FLYING!!!! Then I thought if I could go any higher then I started going higher,lower and sideways!!!. I could control my flying superpowers!!!!!! I thought I was going to be the coolest girl at school!!!! Then I realised one slight problem, I couldn’t get down!!!!

“MUM,DAD!!!!” I screamed down the stairs then something weird happened, I had the sensation I was starting to go down, down, down. Then my feet touched the ground thank goodness, I thought relieved. So now I know that when I think about flying I fly and when I don’t think about flying I stay on the ground.

The City

The City was usual enough: 

It had lots of hills, great restaurants, lots of people, tons of cars zooming down the street and awesome museums. My sister my parents and I did the things that families do, looking in all the museums, tasting all the amazing food, buying some souvenirs, walking along the busy streets and looking in all the big department stores.

Doing Nothing Important.

Statistics

In Room 6 math class we have been doing statistical investigations. First we learnt about Stem and Leaf graphs and did fun investigations on sports. We also learnt how to make graphs on Excel. We learnt how to make Pie graphs and different types of Bar graphs. Below are some of the graphs I have made on Excel.

Good Friday

Today in Religious Education we learned about the Good Friday liturgy. Here are some symbols of a Good Friday Mass and their reasons they are used.
