Port Hills Fire

On Monday 13th February 2017 around about 5pm there was an  extremely hot fire burning on the side of the Port Hills in Christchurch New Zealand .

There were 14 helicopters and 400 homes were evacuated on the Port Hills . Two fixed-wing aircraft fought the blazing fire on Wednesday evening but got stopped when it grew dark .

One helicopter pilot got his monsoon bucket caught on something and died sadly . Also 11 families homes got burnt down because of the massive burning fire.

Lots of roads were closed and the people of Christchurch were terrified especially people who lived on the Port Hills.

The fire also burnt down the back of the Christchurch quarry.It started in a car park.  

It took weeks to fight the fire and Sockburn school kids were talking about it and

When heaven saw the massive fire she said ¨OMG it is huge I hope it doesn't come down to the Christchurch town.¨

In a week's time the fire was finally out and people could go home.

FerryMead

   Ferrymead Heritage park

By Adelaide

If you want to know about life in Christchurch in 1850’s the best place to go is ferrymead Heritage park.On Wednesday 86 kids from Kahikatea visited ferrymead Heritage park.

                  Schools in the 1850’s

In the 1850’s the children that went to school rode horses to school. The playground at the schools aren't really playgrounds because there is only

a paddock for the horses and a grass bit because  the children had to use their imagination. BORING!. It only had the New Zealand flag.

Also the school was soooo tiny. They only had little desks in the school and a whiteboard and an ink jar.

If you were a teacher you couldn’t get married. If you did get married you would have to quit!!!

The girls that went to school had to wear a white little madan dress and a white tiny bonnet.The boys had to wear a grey top with buttons and grey pants which were grey to.

  

Looking at all of these Information about the 1850’s you can see that the schools and other stuff in 1850’s

are very different to now in 2017.

Limerick Poems By Adelaide,Miriana And Isla

My Poems By Adelaide

My kitten chilly

           My kitten likes to play around

          She makes a lot of sound

           She meows a lot

           And she will always get in a knot

         She sleeps with me

     And will follow me when i go for a pee

             She is very very greedy

              Her eyes are very beady

              I  love her so much

         My puppy

         My puppy is so cute

         Would look cool in a suit

              Loves to play

          And I got her in May

                I love her

     She also has very soft fur

      I haven't had her for long

      She thinks she is strong

         She pounces a lot

       She gets caught in a knot

           

                 My friend

                                My friend is very kind

                            she has a friendly mind

                           she always has a caring heart

                             And she is very smart

                                     She  loves to laugh

                      always have a photograph

                       We always bring our scooters to school

      And she  never breaks the rule

  She is  the best

            I call her Miriana
