Deep in the clouds, the giants' swords smashed against each other. Exovis (the giant who had never lost a battle) was just going easy and the other giant was still struggling to keep up! This went on for several years until a new giant arrived. His name was Alcov. Alcov laughed at Exovis and challenged him to a battle. Exovis refused but when Alcov said he was scared Exovis agreed. The concrete swords smashed and gave off ear-deafening bangs. Just then, Exovis' sword broke! No-one could believe it, Alcov had won! Exovis was so furious that he jumped from the sky and now sleeps in an underground tunnel in a hill made of rock. Today we call it a volcano. Every hundred years, the giant wakes from his sleep and releases his anger which makes fire come out the top which we know as an eruption.Monday, September 12, 2011

Snow on the mountains around Pahoia!
On Monday at Pahoia we could see fresh white snow on the hills. The snow was very easy to see from the school. We could feel the cold blasts of air coming down from the mountain and it was a wonderful sight. Lots of students where excited to see snow. We all can't wait for snow camp hopefully there will be snow for us then. By Julia.

Buddy Class!
Today Room One had a fantastic afternoon sharing and learning with Room Eight. Our Year 1 buddy class came to share their Autumn Leaves cinquain poetry. They had also created colourful autumn leaves artwork.
Once they had shared, we shared a little about our new iPads. In groups we used Puppet Pals to take the leaves from Room 8's art, photographed a background and recorded some of the poetry.
As seniors in our school our aim was not to show our buddies how to make the animation, but to help them learn and do it themselves. At times we did it well, but there were parts we found difficult!
Check out the video created with all our animations.
