Thanksgiving

Hi there please read through my slideshow to learn more about Thanksgiving as a celebration.

I do not think New Zealanders should celebrate thanksgiving because it is not a really important thing to celebrate in New Zealand.  This is my opinion.  What do you think about thanksgiving?  Should we celebrate it here in Aotearoa?

A Day Out In The Country

A DAY OUT IN THE COUNTRY

An adult Wedge taíled eagle hovered in the sky as large, puffy clouds rolled quickly south and the day drew close to noon. It was autumn and the gum trees on the ridge were making their annual donation of brown stained leaves to the wet surface below. In the distance, a herd of cattle moved slowly in Indian file towards their favourite resting spot near the creek’s edge.

 

It was here that the Jones family were busily preparing the picnic lunch which they would share with their overdue guests, the Harris family. At l. 15 p.m., exactly 60 minutes late, Mr and Mrs Harris and their three children arrived. Mr Jones had already collected enough Wood to light a to boil the billy.

 

Meanwhile, as the four adults chattered around the fire site, the seven children played cricket close to the babbling water of the creek.

Yesterday on the 21st of November the year 7’s went on an end of year celebration trip to Rainbows End.at 8:30 we went and did our normal assembly as usual and then mr wiseman and mr burt said some things and at 9:40 we got to Rainbows End

 

My favourite ride at Rainbows End was probably the roller coaster. Even though the ride was short it had a lot of really fast and fun twists and turns

 

My 2nd favourite ride was the log ride because it was calm and i really like the drop at the end

 

And my least favourite ride was probably the power surge because when you flip upside down your body comes off the seat

DLO

Inference-Surprise Birthday Party

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY

Flies hovered around the kitchen, looking for a suitable place to land.

Mrs Stevens carefully opened the hot oven and took out the two dozen small cakes inside. They were to be part of a surprise birthday party for her son, who would be home soon from school. After cooling the cakes by the open window, she began to decorate them with icing, cream and ‘hundreds and thousands’. Then she put them onto a large serving plate and took them to the dining table where she covered them with a brightly embroidered cloth over the cakes.

 

On the table were six cups and a similar number of knives, forks and serviettes. A birthday card with a picture on the front of a large cake with ten candles burning brightly sat at one end of the jarrah table.

 

Rain began to drip slowly down the drainpipe outside as Mrs Stevens removed her apron and hurried outside to the utility in the tin shed. Soon she was speeding down the rough and bumpy road to the bus stop. She was just in time to see a happy looking Shane waving goodbye to Mrs Johnson, the bus driver.
