Hang glider

Jump! I leaped on to the tornado I swirled myself around and around feeling like I was going to puke. But there seemed to be a buzzing noise I thought it was a bee but then I saw it was a hanglider starting it's engine.I raced down to see it but there was a problem I couldn't see because there were a whole lot of people blocking my way just cause they wanted a better view.But then I saw it there were many different parts there were a cacoon, a propeller and heaps of other stuff.Then it was ready to go the man took the nail out from the grass and started to run as fast as he can and off he went lifting himself then I saw him putting his leg into the cacoon so that is what it was used for.

When it was flying it looked like a fly because it had wings.

The Helicopter

We just finished assembly when I heard that there was going to be a helicopter that was coming to our school.I was really amazed because we've never had an helicopter come to our school before.So that was a big suprise let's find out if it is true.

Is that an eagle kezia replied no that's to small to be an eagle paulitia exclaimed I think it's a helicopter sela said no. The mysterious flying creature or machine came closer I saw and reconized that it was a helicopter so I was right Sela said.When the helicopter landed it made the wind blow really strong that it made the grass bend down the grass had this kind of white colour to it.

Anyway when the helicopter stopped there were police officer that came out of the helicopter and he showed us many diffrent parts of the helicopter.There was a camera that had a round glass around it and it was black I thought that it was a marble actually it wasn't there also was a light the light is to help the police officer that were driving on the ground it helped them to see better in the dark if there is an a emergency.we also asked some questions.

Some people were taking photos and each class had aturn to see the inside of the helicopter.When I saw it it had a tv and all these buttons they were colourfull.

Picnic

Wow what a day that was.Our school picnic down at the reserve was fantastic.When I just finished my lunch I headed of to the sea where people were swimming.A wholelot of people went near the rocks on the left side.When I looked down the sea seemed to get closer to the rock so they got wet then becoming slippery.Some people started to fall of so I started to laugh.When I went some where else and I came back to where the water was it seemed as if it came even closer.Then I noticed little kids spalshing, drowning and singking paulitia's brother peni.It was so so so hilarious.

Motat

Our senior school from Pt England School went to Motat on June the 13th to learn about the principles of flight; drag, lift, thrust and weight. Through the door when we arrived there was a lady who was telling us as we walked us about where we were and where we were going to next.



First we were in groups of five. I was in Omni's mum's group. We went to go and look at information about Richard Pearse and Jean Batten. At the museam it showed all kinds of stuff plus it showed Jean Batten's bicycle and it also showed how she died. It said she died from an untreated dog bite.
There was also a theatre there and Richard Pearse's planes. The lady said we weren't allowed to touch anything.

Next we went to the Hands On Area that is the place where we were allowed to touch stuff. My most favourite part of the Hands On Area was the spinner, that is where somebody pushes you and you twirl around and around. Another part of the Hands On Area I liked was the earthquake cafe. It is when you push a button and you sit on a chair in the cafe and it will shake like an earthquake.

Next we went into this place where all these olden day bikes were, it was a like a big collection of it. After that we went though the mirror maze and I was scared because I feltl ike I was going to get trapped and I would never come out. That is why I was holding on to Paris all the way through.
