The frightening volcanic room - a recount by Lisiate

The highlight of our visit to the Auckland War Memorial Museum was the volcano room. In the volcano room we had an amazing day. There was a model of a house in Puia St. As I entered the room I saw a living room and a sliding window where you can see Rangitoto and the ocean. All of a sudden the T.V came on automatic and the news was on talking about smoke coming out of the water. The smoke gets larger and closer, the larger it gets the faster the volcano is going to form. All of a sudden a thud struck out of no where.  It gave me a fright and the T.V turned off automatically. White smoke transforming into black smoke and the room was shaking so hard that it felt like a giant had grabbed me and shook me so hard. KABOOM! The volcano shoots out black smoke and a GIGANTIC amount of smoke rushing towards us like a tsunami. CRASH! Everything quietens down and on the T.V we heard 'The Aftermath'. It was horrible, blobs of lava popping out like a popcorn on the hot burning active volcano sitting right in the middle of the sea. Huge smoke flying in the air as high as the Sky Tower. Burning trees, plants and houses poisoning animals and people. Burning tyres ruling the skies by covering it with black smoke destroying our atmosphere and creating a new world of darkness.
Back to reality, a man in a suit talked about the volcano and told us to go on a website which has a guide to survive before a volcano erupts. It was very frighting and a bit exciting.

My Game Experience by Hannah

On a cold damp morning room 7 went to soccer to learn skills. Mr Wan our teacher, is from Spain.  We were surprised when he said that. We warmed up and we were getting ready to kick some butt. Room 7 was charged up ready to go. Everyone was

sent to a court to play, 3 in each team. We were warming up so we can get ready to go, go, go!

I was on to the game. I dribble, kick, and pass. I really try hard, I play hard, I play rough. All I wanted was the ball. I dribble, kick, pass, watching the goal getting ready to kick and SCORE! I score a spectacular goal for my team. I felt really, really happy. The other team felt really sad but we didn’t even care because we were celebrating with shouting and screaming. Nearly the whole school could hear us!
Suddenly I felt totally exhausted. I wanted a drink of water but I really wanted to score another goal. The game was on again and I played my hardest. My eyes were glued  to the goal. I watched the goal with my blood red tired eyes. I dribble, pass, kick, pass, kick and SCORE! Another breathtaking goal. Yeah my team won the game! It was the best time of my life. We all celebrated with cheering, shouting, and screaming. Mr Wan was very proud of us because we had put more effort than ever before.
YEAH!

I go back to class so exhausted and tired. I was very very hungry and thirsty.
Finally the bell rang. All I wanted to do was munch on my lunch and drink cold, fresh, delicious water. I felt the fresh water running down my throat like a waterfall.I  ate so much that I felt as full as a gorilla.

My exhausting game experience by Eseki

On a damp and cold morning I got ready because my family and I were going to meet my Aunty named Lima, Uncle Lauloa and my three cousins Juli, Lama and Faialofa who had just arrived from Savai’i, Samoa.

When we got there I introduced myself to them and I helped them settle down by getting them some food to eat and doing their chores.

Later on I asked Juli, Lama and Faialofa if they wanted to play Volley ball but Juli and Faialofa said””No thank you”” and Lama said””Yes I would like to”” so I got out the Volley Ball equipment and set it up. I went around asking my other family members if they wanted to play Volley Ball  and they said””yes”” so we were divided into teams of 8 each.When we started playing I was the shortist person in my team and I had to stay in the front and I didn’t want to because when my other girl cousin named Helen got spiked by Lama and I was afraid of getting hurt by him.

After that fun and exhausting game I sat down and had a long rest and watched my Nana, Aunty’s and Uncles play Poker and Swepi.. While I was watching them I learnt how to play Poker and Swepi by just watching them. It was a bit boring but I helped my Nana play.

Next it was time for dinner and I had to tell my Nana, Aunty’s and Uncles to come inside and eat. I went back inside and helped them serve the food to everyone then I grabbed my food and went outside to eat my food with my other cousins. I enjoyed my food because it was yummy and juicy.

When I finished my food I went inside and played Monopoly with my cousins. Whenever my cousins and I play any kind of game they always say””No mercy””. Sometimes when we play card games or multiplayer games my cousin Luke cheats and pretends he didn’t cheat.

Soon after we played Monopoly we turned on the DVD player and we watched a couple of movies called The Lucky Ticket and Tinker Bell 1 and 2. While we were watching we ate some popcorn and mine spilt on the floor and I had to clean it up. Later on my brother, sisters and I got tired so we went home and said good by to Lima, Lauloa, Juli, Lama and Faialofa..
