Reading Week 8 & 9

Darkness

Darkness is all i see as I stumble over useless junk like a psp and a teddy bear named BOB!  I slowly amble down the huge dark hallway, I hear a sound.  Bang!  My overwhelmingly fat cat ran down the hallway as quick as fans obsessed with Justin Timberlake chase him.  At the end of the hallway he stops and stars at me.

The school dingy

This morning on the 18 of the 3 2016 our dingy from syndicate 2 has been put on the roof by some naughty kids.BB (ST Patrick's caretaker) and Matua Manu (our care taker) took the dingy down.

Hangi

Hangi

Fiery embers burn like a volcano setting the humid karaehe on ah.  The smell of charcoal fills the ea.Decaying firewood crumbles as it falls to the ground.  Smoke flies into the ea as if our wharekura had been bombarded.

He told them suicide was an option.

"He's been weighing it up and he doesn't want to go back to prison so he was thinking of shooting himself," she said.

She said the family were now going to focus on getting him the legal advice he needed.

"Now we go to the next step - get the lawyer to help us. We didn't realise how much support we had."

Wetini said she was finding a lawyer in Auckland.

She said a combined effort had convinced her boy to give himself up.

"The family were constantly reassuring him all night - he was in a dark hole ... We had family as far away as Australia texting, reassuring him."

Our trip to the courier and space center

Today we went on a class trip.My favorite part was seeing Dave's equipment like the camera.

Two thing I learnt were;

• How to do the lighting.
• That you can change from view to view instantly

Dave has a great website here were I can learn more.
