A Firefighter’s job is very hard its like being a superhero except with no powers. Firefighters take kittens out of trees and attend accidents, Firefighters are heroes. A Firefighter’s job involves extinguishing fires keeping fit and attending accidents, what I mean is going to car crashes and ripping the cars apart. It also involves driving a fire engine and educating people.

Firefighters wear very protective clothing, they wear breathing apparatus which is breathing equipment  ,fireproof clothes, and a helmet with a visor they were the helmet and visor to protect their face and head . They wear very special gloves so they can lift up the falling pieces of wood that was from the house cause they might be on fire, or filled with nails.

You have to be trained so you can be fire smart. You have to do literacy ,numeracy and logical tests. Some have physical fitness and an interview. You also need to have special requirements.

What characteristics does a Firefighter have ?

To be a firefighter you have to be physically fit which means not fat. You also nee to be being able to work as a team which means you won't want to do it yourself.Honest and trustworthy means being able to trust them from being a awesome firefighter.

New Beginings poem

New Beginnings Poem
We were being plundered and plundered and the elderlys thundered enough is enough.

As the numbers grew there was not enough land so we decided to go somewhere new.

There was no elderly on the waka except for one ancient man  

we decided to hear his journeys to new lands.

then suddenly there was a storm like hell

it did not go so well

then like being shaken awake from a nightmare it stopped

Until one day without warning off my brother  hopped.

He snached a branch out of the sea and held it in the air.

“It must be land!”i shouted out,

with food and animals to hunt as well.

i wonder who will find us in the land of the long white cloud,

the land of Aotearoa.

This week my number is...

Immersion Assembly

Yesterday morning as room 11 and 12 walked to the hall we heard Mr Burt’s thundering voice saying “$1.00 $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 $5.00 number 22 going once going twice going 3 times and sold to number 22”.We were at school by the way, Mr Burt was a auctioneer most of the teachers were in costumes to represent what they are learning and  had movies and plays to do the same thing.  

 

Team 2 were learning about ice cream, how it was  made and what brands they come from. They had a little movie about when some of the year 2's got to have some ice cream in the morning. Their topic was called  “I Scream For Ice cream.”

Team three was about jobs. The year 3 & 4 teachers had a movie doing the YMCA song and dance, some of Pt England school did the actions of the dance it was pretty funny Mr Blakey made up these comical actions. Mr Blakey was a policeman Mr Moran was a Fireman Miss King was a cowgirl Whaea Eloise was a surgeon and Miss Squires was builder. Some of Pt England kids told everyone what they wanted to be when they grow up.

I felt like this Immersion Assembly was the best I have ever been to I feel like this is going to be the best term ever.
