Pourquoi Story: Volcano

Back, far back, in the mists of time when the world was very young there was Maungarei, the fiery mountain. She was angry and exploded in fury when she had been woken from her slumber. As her rage took over her emotions she started shooting debris out of her. Her actions made plants and the land to be engulfed with lava. The people took cover and others were being evacuated from their houses. Her actions made plants and the land around be engulfed with lava . 

While she didn’t notice she saw the other mountains where having a conversation about leaving and getting away form mangueri 

“Guys I think we should leave her shes taking this way to far now” One mountain mentioned “Are you sure? You know how she can’t get scared when shes all alone” Another a mountain responded

“Were Ceartin. She is taking it way too far. She’s probably gonna hurt us too. It’s not worth it. ” One of the other Mountains  replied.

Maungeri was the middle child of her family and she didn’t like her siblings and parents ignoring her. But later on she saw how the other mountains were leaving her and the situation.

“Hello? Where are all going” Spoke Maungeri in a confused manner.

“We are sorry maungeri but you are too frightening when you get angry” Responded some of the maunga.

“ Wait guys please dont leave me here alone!, I will be better i promise!. Demanded Mangueri

 seeing them leave she fell into a lonely and sad state. She realized that she took it too seriously and didn’t mean for everyone to run away from her. She started to feel a little scared with no one being around her. It felt like she was too afraid to be alone by herself. She lost all hope until she saw a mountain arropching her. To her surprise it was Mt Ruapehu.

“Why so sad?” Said Mt Ruapehu.

“I was very upset and angry being woken from my sleep that my friends left me due to my tantrum” Mangueri replied in guilt.

Mt Ruapehu replies back “Maybe you should apolgize to you dear freinds and the people who lived here”

Mangueri Responds “Alright that’s not a bad idea.

Mangueri locates the villagers and the other mountains. She looks at the villagers and her fellow mountains and speaks.

“I apologize my out burst back there. I hope you will accept my apology?” She said

“We forgive you mangueri and its ok. And its nice to see you have calm down. 

After that Mangueri and the other maunga rentuied as friends again and forgave her the end.

 

Volcano animation

 We have created an animation about volcanos and how they can be able to errupt.

We did this task by the help of Google slides. We created our volcano by either using different shapes or you could be able to trace you volcano form a image. For the animation we did small movements on each slide. So when you would scroll through the slides fast it would look like a video.

I enjoyed making this animation of a volcano erupting.

Tangiwai Diaster Recording

LI: To understand the events of the Tangiwai disaster.

We have been looking at the events of the tangiwai Diaster. The disaster occurred on Christmas Eve, with many passengers traveling home to be with families, adding to the tragedy of the event. It was caused by lahar form Mount Ruapehu which is a mudflow that weaken the bridge. It was located at Tangiwai near the Whangaehu in the central north island of newzealnd. Did you know that many passengers were heading home for christmas presents and toys on the riverbank?

Something I Found inresting about the Tangiwai Diaster was that the people who had saved the passengers were awared with the British Empire Medal.

 

WW1 Diary

 

We have been writing about world war 1 that had took place in 25 April 1915. During world war 1 lots of Soilders have passed away fighting for the freedom of newzealnd. We have watched and viewed websites on how life felt for the soilders in the trenches. We have also read the diary a Hami Grace. Getting information from past soilders diary’s we have wrote our own to simulate world war 1 in a soilders eyes. Then we have use Google vids and record saying our diary’s.  I enjoyed using this as it allowed me to write and experience world 1 through the eyes of a soilders 

Something I found interesting about this task was that they had lived in trenches and they always had diarys to record the current experience In the war.
