On the 22nd November 2024 my principal took the rest of totara to the movies we watched wicked and we enjoyed it very much.

Ballantynes Fire
The Ballantynes fire was the deadliest fire in NZ .Killing 41 people . And Taking almost over 200 firefighters to stop . That is quite scary .
Firefighters over the years
For this task we had to show firefighters over 50 or so years . I did mine from 1910 to 1990 . You can clearly see that firefighters have clearly changed .
Tangiwai Disaster
For this task we had to make a poster about the Tangiwai disaster . We had to write facts and interesting stuff about the Tangiwai disaster . The Tangiwai disaster took place on the 24th December 1953 . That’s the exact same year that Queen Elizabeth the 2nd and the Duke of Edinburgh came for their first royal visit . The disaster killed 151 people and only 1 person survived and 20 bodies weren’t found . But the Tangiwai disaster was a shock for all .
Book Week door
For our book door we did the book Giraffes can’t dance . For the door we painted the door black , then we twisted some really thin paper to make tree branches then we painted the branches brown , And stuck all the leaves that our whole class did . Then some people made lions , some people made hippos , some people made monkeys , some people made crocodiles and some people made zebras . We also made a jungle dance sign and a tall giraffe and a cricket . At first a teacher opened our door and broke it then when everything was perfect a student broke the door and her friend said it was not her fault . And I got really mad \
