Tane's Surfing Story

Tane's Surfing Story

                     Surfing in Hawaii 

“Tane Tane,” whispered Dad, ”Wake up."

I got up and got dressed. Soon Dad and I walked down to the beach. We peered through the mountain of surfboards and there it was. Soon Dad found his surfboard. I saw a big set coming.

After we saw the big set we paddled out. Suddenly a wave crashed hard on my head. It felt sore.

Unexpectedly I saw a wave. As I paddled, I noticed that someone had all ready caught the wave. But I kept on going with my eyes closed. Finally I felt the wave forcing me forward. I stood up in a hurry, and I was riding it for real.

RJ's Lighthouse Writing

The lighthouse was looming in the distance and the boat was tossing and turning. The waves were crashing into the lighthouse. It was getting thrown back and forwards. It was stormy. It was wild and rough. There were some shipwrecks along the coast. Seagulls screeched above them. Stones were hitting the windows. The water was dark. I saw kahawai  swimming beneath the surface. I felt cold and scared.

Pod 7's  Science Investigation

We want to find out how strong air is.

First we inflated four blue balloons.

Next we got a little table and put it upside down on the four blue balloons, with one balloon at each corner.                                                                                          

After that we got some children from our class to stand on the table one by one. We got up to eight children and suddenly two balloons popped.

We found out that air is very strong and four inflated balloons can hold eight children on an upturned table. We also learnt that air can push on you.
