For my recent reading activity we had to create a blog post about Stalang Map! A map of Johnny Pohe and the routes him and his team mates took to try and escape the camp. Johnny Phoe was a qualified pilot who was apart of the Royal Air Force and was one one New Zealands first Maori to be trained.

We recently created a crane, bridge, car, box and flying fox, this was all apart of Epro8 which is a interschool science and engineering competition, which we took part of buliding  structures with material we were given . It was an amazing exprience and alot of fun. The most difficlut part was figuring out what our bulidings should’ve looked like and if we could imporved it.

We completed 2 freeze frames in groups. Using the emotions and feelings we felt we created a vocab list and with that we only had 15 minutes to write about Peter’s journey from a book called The Treasure Box.

The moment I heard bombs my heart knew war was taking place. Fear and terror frequently pounce at me. I provking a negative energy, without hesitation I grab all my necessary needs and I continue to walk with a crowd of deppressed people wondering if we willl ever find shelter. Freezing, pain and a heavy weight makes me exhausted. The dark smoke slightly drifts and with shock I felt weak headed and unsteady.

A war has begun, I witnessed soldiers breaking into houses killing innocent families. As I watch my house slowly turn into ashes I run like Usain Bolt to rescue my nanas urn. It was foggy and the room was covered with black smoke. I get closer to the living room. I find it hard to breathe. I am covered in ash. Rubbing my eyes, restoring my eyesight and rushing to save my beloved urn of my nans ashes. I quickly run back out of the building slowly feeling light headed.
