Sailing in to the wind I heaved and struggled to pull the rope with all my might. With the wind, the sails billowed out, pushing us along. Icy wind was biting my face as we were going to the harbour bridge.

Mt East Destroys the Village July 9 2010
by Jesiah, Onosai, and Silas
I enjoy doing our volcano movie because we had help from Miss King doing our volcano movie.
We could have done better by making the volcano look more realistic. One part that we really liked was making our volcano erupt. I learned about helping my group and making movies.
What I will change for next time is to help my group creating our proups and acting more in our voice over.

Story Sculptures Volcano Report - June 16 2010
A volcano is an opening in the earth's crust, through which lava, ash and gases flow. The word volcano comes from the Roman god of fire - Vulcan.
A volcano erupts when the pressure inside the earth builds up and needs to escape. Molten rock, in the mantle, heats up. The magma chamber fills up, then the magma pushes up the vent and out of the crater.
There are three main types of the volcano. One is a cinder cone another a shield or a composite. The most dangerous one is composite volcano because it erupts violently with lava and ash. A volcano can be active,dormant (sleeping) or extinct.
A volcanic eruption can be both destructive and beneficial. Falling ash is dangerous to aeroplanes, can cover buildings and make it hard to breathe. Lava flows and lahars destroy everthing in their paths. However, sometimes eruptions can creature new fertile land.
Ash,lava and gas from deep inside the earth can be very destructive and dangerous during a volcano eruption. However if we are careful we can enjoy the benfits of new land and fertile soil.

Rainy Day - June 3 2010
On Tuesday we stayed in class as the rain poured down. We looked out the window and saw a big puddle near our classroom. Kane, Jesiah and I were playing Jenga. In the middle of lunchtime the rain finally stopped. We all ran outside to play.
My great volcano story - May 5 2010
Onosai has been learning about complex and simple sentences. In this paragraph he combines them beautifully to tell us about an erupting volcano.
Volcanic Pressure - April 22 2010
On Monday afternoon Miss King handed out balloons and asked us if we can show pressure by blowing up a balloon. So we huffed and puffed and it got bigger and bigger and my one popped. When the volcano shakes that means pressure is building and it is going to explode. And lava, gas, smoke and ashes come out of the volcano and ash clouds block the sky.

On the last day of camp we went to Swimarama. When I got to the hydroslide I closed my eyes and waited for the end. Splash! I opened my eyes and I saw people lining up. Then I went to the pool it was really cold. I got out of the water and went to the warm fountains.=
