Legend of the clouds

Once there was a young man called Ronald.
He lived in a forest near Mizik with his family.
He loved hunting and he hunted animals every day.

As the year went by, Ronald got stronger and braver.
He caught the thieves and helped the poor.
Everybody liked him and he became the hero of the forest.
One day, the people found that the sky was covered with
clouds, and there was no sunlight on the ground.
They had no idea about what happened. Suddenly,
a horror voice appeared: "Ha ha! Stupid people!
You will die without sunlight and I will be the king of
the Earth!  Everybody was frightened, they asked Ronald
for help. Kay decided to kill the devil, and he found a good
idea. He started to make a golden bow and some silver
arrows. After an hour, he finished and walked to the garden.
As he thought, there were so many clouds and he could
not see the sun. He wasn't afraid. He took out his golden
bow and silver arrows, and shot it to the sky. After a few
shots, most of the clouds were gone and they could see
the sun. The horror voice disappeared and never appeared
again.
Today, there is only a few clouds in the sky. Sometimes,

the cloud covers the sky and it starts to rain. But,
when the rain stops, you can see the rainbow in the sky,
because the silver arrow stops the rain and it becomes
colourful.

Visiting Author (Brunner Mine)

 

Through The couple of week we have been reading a book could The Mines afire and we haven't finished it all but we are near the end of the book. But Yesterday we had the writer come in and talk about the book of mine afire and we got to ask some questions as well. It was interesting to hear that basically the whole book is true. My class wanted to know if it was true or not if the older kids put the younger ones in the curtains and heaved them through the windows. But now days I don't think school kids do that now. I am happy that I got to find out a lot of information about the book And about herself. You should go read the book yourself It has a lot of detail from what happened back in the day.

Brunner Mine Site 25/3/19

The past couple of weeks we have been reading a book could mines a fire and we are half way through the book now And on 25/3/19 we went out to Brunner mine With my class. When we were out at Brunner mine we had to do different type of stuff some of the stuff were, we had to meme a play out of the book that we are ready and basically all groups had about 5 to 6 people in there groups. We had to dress up and get a photo shoot done. What I was Wearing - A skirt -White T-shirt - A hat - Black Coat. The next thing we did was my group had to answer questions that were all over the wall in the place that we ate in.  
The book Mines A fire is really inserting. Today we had the author From mines a fire come into school today and my class T1 and T2 got to ask her some questions today. 
I didn't ask any because I didn't have any in mind at the time. But it was Good to here that almost everything in the book is true and it's funny to know that in the book the older kids used to put the little ones in the curtains and heave them through the windows and then the younger ones would open the door For them. I am happy that I found out a lot of detail that happened back in the day.
On Tuesday It was the anniversary since the big explosion happened and it was 23 years ago.
here are some photos of the mine.....

Colour Day 22nd March 2019

Last week was a tragic week because on Friday 15th March 2019 there was a Mass shooting in Christchurch and it was sad to hear that 49 people past. It makes it more sad to hear that a 3 year old called Mujaad (Mucad) Ibrahim past away on the next day.  A 14 year old named Sayyad Milne past away from the tragic shooting as well. To know that someone would do this to such kind and loving people it breaks my heart to hear that we have lost 49 amazing souls in the attack. To all those people that got injured Greymouth is praying that you are all getting better.
I would just like to say that everyone that past was a kind and amazing we all love yous dearly.
From Jazmine.

Beeswax

Bess Wax:

Don’t eat beeswax it needs to be turned into
a yellow color and so it doesn't have
dirt in it beeswax is honeycomb but it has been
scraped off the top.
When the set the honey and cover it then it will be
smooth and clean the take all the clappings off and
then let it sit and then the scarp all the hexagons off
and then they squeeze it when it gets melted down
it will turn in to like a blox. The clean honey smells
just like normal honey you get hot water and then
when the water gets hot you put the honey in it and then it melts. How do bees get the wax?

The bees get pollen and nectar and other bees eat it
and then vomit it and they keep doing it and they
put it in one of these hexagon things and then they
fill it until its full. You have to wait for the honey to
be finished. When its finished they grab the cheese
thing and then they put it over a ice cream container
and then they put the bees wax in it and then some
of it will melt through and some will set on the cheese cloth. The world would survive 4 years without bees.

Writing

I Was Walking Down To The Soccer Field And When I Got There All I Could Smell Was The Fresh Nature And The Trees. I Could Hear The Trees Moving Side To Side And The Birds Flapping Their Wings. I Could Feel My Nose Stinging From The Cold Air Blowing Onto It. I Could See The Sun Going Up High Into The Sky And The Frost Melting Away & I Could See The Clouds Moving Away Slowly As The Day Moves On.
