As the weather begins to get
colder, the students of Room 7 have been reflecting on their past experiences where
the weather has played a part in what they did that day. Here are a collection
of their weather related recounts. Get yourself a hot drink, put your slippers
on and enjoy the work of our budding young writers!
One day I went on my trampolines. It was
really sunny, it was about 30 degrees. Then it started to pour down with rain
and I got soaking wet. I went inside to get my brothers, their names are Max
and Sam.
We went outside and did some flips. We
were really wet and that was when Max decided to have a water balloon fight. We
filled the water balloons up. It took around 20 minutes. We had fifty each.
Then we hid around the house. I saw Max
hiding behind the hedge so I snuck up behind him and threw a water balloon at
him, but I missed. Max still didn't know I was there. I threw another one at
Max and I hit him and he was out.
It was now just me and Sam left. I saw
Sam peeking through the garden so I took a long shot and hit him. So we met
back where we started and I got the golden water balloon. Then I threw it at
Max and I accidentally hit his face. Pop! Ouch!

Cyclone Cook
After Cyclone Cook had stopped, my
family and I were set the job of getting rid of a 30 metre pine tree that had
fallen down and smashed the gate and the power line to the house.
It was very hot and all you could hear
was the sound of the chainsaw. There were wood chips everywhere. It took 3 to 4
days to chop and move all the wood. Then we had to burn some of it and turn
some of it into firewood. It was a long time before they regained power.

Last year, around New Years Eve, me
and my family went to Gisborne. In the car we were thinking that it was going
to be hot and sunny the whole time. But the first few days were the total
opposite. It was stormy and rainy and the wind was so strong that it ripped our
tent and we had to sleep in the car. The weather was bad! We expected to be
going surfing and diving a lot but it was
horrific! After about three days, it started to calm down but we didn't know if
it would pick up again. On the day before New Year's Day it was sunny again so
we made a swing and enjoyed the sunlight.

When I played with AJ it was a sunny
day. My bike was broken so I went to my house to tell my Dad. Then we went to
the park, we played on the swings. I was so happy because it was sunny. It was
so hot and warm. We played a little bit. We went to AJ's house then my house.

One night I woke up and my
room was pitch black. There had been a thunder storm! I walked to the light,
flicked the switch but it did not work because there had been a power cut. The
day before, my brother had created a little light. I picked it up but I broke
it! I gave up and went to bed. In the morning I tried the light switch again, it
still did not work. So I went to my Mum and Dad's room, woke them up and said
"There has been a power cut!" Then we hopped in the car and saw the power line, it had been struck by lightning! Then we saw some men working on it and we asked them if they wanted anything from the shop. They said "a coke please!" So we went to the shop and got them a coke, brought it to them and went back home. We had dinner and went to bed. In the morning I checked the lights and the power was on. What a relief!
