Trip to the Art Gallery & Library

Our time at the Art Gallery & library was wicked. First we got to go in the library & Room 2 got to go to the Art Gallery. Then we swapped. On the GO Bus it was all quiet and then on the way back you would think it was quiter than normal but NO WAY it would be louder than usual but you could totally tell it was hotter than before because people were sweating like someone on fire. The library had this cold room filled with papers from the year 1900 till now.

More FM visit Pahoia School

Today More FM visited us at school. They had a van full of rugby balls. We had to guess how many balls were in the van. I could tell you how many I guessed but if I'm right, you might beat me in the competition! Check out out photos of Room 1 with the Steamers mascot.


Tomorrow at Breakfast time on More FM there is going to be a guessing competition with Vinnie & Kirt. For your chance to win rugby balls for you and your school just call 5777 934 to guess how many rugby balls there are in the van and you're in the draw.

The Golden Hill - by Simon

Once, there was a green hill that was a volcano. But there were some blue warriors that were mining on the hill and the volcano got angry and it erupted. Then Planet Blue started shaking. Later on, the volcano burst out lava and rock. There was only a small group of people that were still alive.

They were so angry with the volcano that they decided that they would stop it. As they huddled around the fire and discussed their plan a boy (Tim) stood up and said "when we arrive at the volcano we'll chuck my magic net over the top. That will stop him erupting". The next day they got their bags and set out. When they arrived in the late afternoon, the volcano saw them and tried to erupt, but Tim stepped forward and quickly threw the magic net over the top of the volcano. Suddenly there was an explosion of light and the people couldn't believe what they saw. The volcano had turned into a golden hill.

Today we know this as the Mighty Hill.

The Stone of Souls - By Julia


It’s 1871 in the Galaxy of Kaza.  A light lit up the dark dull night sky as it flew past bobbing boulders dogging them as they floated around like bubbles in the breeze. As it zoomed about the lights flickered on and off as if a ghost was standing at the light switch.  All of a sudden the power went out and the GPS faded away and everyone stood in shock.  Suddenly a geographic surge blasted through the the system and rebooted all programs but by the time the lights came on they where spiraling down to their death and gaining speed as they did.  Nothing would stop them now and they would be lucky if they survived the crash.  They ended up hitting a planet of some sort.  The impact was so strong that it killed some of the travelers instantly but left the rest to suffer.  As the remains of the ship caught alight the captain of the ship gained conciseness and looked about the deserted planet.  Suddenly his eyes rolled back in his head and he started to choke.  Within seconds he closed his eyes and Robin Jones was dead.
Its 1911 in the galaxy of Kaza.  A light lit up the night sky.  12 dazzling balls of light glistened in the distance. 
“We must be close men” said Alex Jones “we just passed through the ozone layer of the planet”.  All 13 men on the ship zipped up there safety suits and got ready to land.  As the ship touched land every one sighed with relief “brace yourselves men, this could be dangerous” said captain Alex Jones.  Men had made it to this planet before us but it was not very successful and unfortunately they didn't make it back.
Robin Jones was the brother of Alex and he was the captain of the other mission and that was one of the reasons that Alex wanted to come to this planet he was hoping that he would find his brother.  As the group of men walked out of the ship they looked around at the dark lifeless planet.  It seemed to be blue and sandy.  Suddenly they heard a scream so loud that it could deafen you if you got to close.  As they turned around, they saw a sea of blue creatures. They came closer and closer until they had surrounded the men that where all standing in shock. As they closed in on the men they bought out swords and spears and ended the lives of those 13 men.  The creatures carried them into a secret underground cave, lit up by grass torches that where lined upon the walls.  As they entered a rounded room, with a glowing pool in the center, the blue Warriors dropped the still bodies into the pool and sang a chant in a different language.  As the song was sung a gray stone with white lines that looked like they where carelessly wiped through the stone, rose from the pool and shone in the darkness of the little cave.  They bodies then soon disappeared and had been sent toward the sky.   The 13 men joined as stars in the sky along with the 12 that died in 187.  The souls of the Jones brothers where reunited after all those years apart.  To this day they sparkle in the night sky, and all the dead that die on the planet get sent to live with the stars.   

Volcano Giant by Jake G

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.
