• There is now a limit on the height of buildings in the city. We practice drills at school to prevent us being harmed. Follow new rules when building to be earthquake safe.

Protests

Depression riots 1932

I strongly agree and support the depression protest because people were so suffered and frustrated.  Lots and lots of people lost their jobs and many of them went hungry.  The worse thing was that the government did't do more help to solve the problems. The people did't get good clothes food and shelters. Police were involved to stop the people. the wharves were shut down by the government. This caused a huge disaster for the economy of NZ because other countries could not trade in goods and services.

Hero & villain

 

In Hurumanu 4 we did writing and drawing about villians and heros i really enjoyed drawing my villian.

Jack and Josh were in the Bank in town to get some money out. Jack looked around and he heard a noise. THEN the door of the Bank smashed open. 

John ran in with a mask on and a gun in his hand.  He started yelling at people to get on the ground.  He yelled at the man behind the desk to open the vault.  John pointed the gun at Jack and Josh and everyone else.  The security man refused to open up the vault,  John needed  the money badly because of some of the  things he has done in his life so John shot him dead.  Jack and Josh got up and tried to run away but it was too late.  They both got shot too.  

John finally got the keys from the security man’s pocket,  after he shot him dead.

 He opened the vault and took heaps of cash with him and escaped. The vault was located at the very back of the bank the vault was a massive steel door.

John got inside his car and left.  The police chased him, however they couldn’t catch him and he sped off.  He left Auckland and went to L.A and had a family his son's name was Max. He was 8 yrs old  John’s  life was finally getting better.

Aotearoa History Show

Today we watched the Aotearoa history show about the New Zealand wars. We learnt:

.The maori prophet saw an angel

1862  

. the British soldiers were guarding the land from maori 

. the Europeans killed two young Maori boys 

. by the 1860s the British found out ways to get to them 

. by 1872 the new zealand wars were  nearly over 

 3000 people died in the wars- 2000 were Maori

Matariki

                                                                 Matariki




Matariki is all about celebration, and spending time with family Matariki was also important for agriculture. The coming of Matariki symbolized the harvest festival where the Maori feasted on the crops they had prepared. Matariki is important because it also is the time to restart the Maori calendar.

Hollywood's next Blockbuster Movie script?

we needed to think of a movie script

we needed to think of an idea, characters and and everything which would go with a movie

here is my one :)

It was 10.00pm in LA, Josh, Connor and Alex were chilling at the workshop talking about cars like they always did.

…. Cellphone went off there was a street racing happening at 11.00pm and they wanted Alex to race in his ….

They hopped into their cars and headed downtown.

The streets were buzzing with people and cars.

The race was going to start so Alex staged up.  Josh and Connor sat on the bonnets of their cars watching.

3,2,1 the cars were off they sounded like …….

Not long after the race started the sound of sirens and flashing lights were seen and heard.  “Hurry “ Josh said to Connor as they started their cars to get away from the cops.

Not everyone was able to escape “Damm it” said Connor.  The cops got him!

Connor knew what was going to happen.  Street racing was not allowed and the cops loved impounding the racers and fans cars.  Right on time a tow truck came round the corner for Connor’s car.

Poor Connor he could only watch as they towed away his ……

Connor had no choice but to walk back to the workshop and tell the others what had happened.

The next morning the boys were thinking how to get Connors car out of the impound lot.  They could not pay for it they didn’t have the dollars.

There was only one choice and that was to take it but how?

They had a plan now to put it into action.

Alex and Connor took off in Alex’s ….  Josh was in his …..

They got to the impound lot.  Now for the plan.

Alex and Josh started doing skids out the front on the road to cause a distraction, mean time Connor snuck round the back climbed over the fence and found his car.

He started it up and floored it out the lot!  The security guard was left standing there wondering what on earth was going on.

The 3 boys made it back to the workshop and quickly put their cars inside out of sight.

To this day they continue with racing but are a little more careful now.
