Fire drill Practise

Today Tamaki Primary had a fire drill practise. Every Term we will always have a practise. Our principal had thanked us for our time. " Why did you have a fire drill practise" We had an fire drill practise because when an actuall fire comes by or happens we all know what to do at all times. " where an when do you go" We leave our classroom with your teacher and class mates you leave as soon as you are told to. Our principal at his school he youse to go to 4 classrooms and the hall burnt down. We were shocked and we did not want that to happen to our School. Some classes did name calls to check if they were her.

Free Fall Skydiving

Today is Brian Blake’s birthday. His little sister
Jammie surprised him with two special tickets to skydiving for a free fall.
Brian was so excited he straight away was ready to go. Jammie Was excited too but
Brian did not hear what She had said. “ Hey brian I can’t wait to go tandem diving with
my big brother” Gasped Jammie as Brian walked in acting like he was still young. 

“ hahaha” laughed Jammie.

Firstly, On Sunday morning Brian little sister  went skydiving for
his 50th birthday.Jammie arrived 5 minutes later because she had to
run some errands. Skydiving Byyourself is called a solo.
Jammie is going on a tandem with  Brian. Tandem is skydiving with a partner.
Brian was so excited and he didn't listen to instructions and the video.
“ Oh my Days  i'm so excited for this” Brian shouted. Brain dressed up in his suit.
For safety he needed goggles and a harness. Jammie arrived later and was late so
she had thought. “ I don't think i have to watch the video” Brian already watched it
and listened to the instructions Jammie thought.

Secondly, David Started the plane and took them up 2000 foot up high.
Jammie was already afraid but she felt safe with her big brother.
The helpers attached the harness and the parachute. David puts the plane on autopilot
“ You know what to do right” Said David “ Yes I do know” replied Brian.
They get toghther after the count to three they jumped off the plane and done a freefall.
Brian has pulled the handles and realised it was not working.
Then he saw that his harness came off because he had pulled the wrong handle.
Brian remembered there was a backup parachute he pressed on it.
Jammie was having the time of her life and Brian had the time of being in the jungle with
a dinosaur chasing his head. As soon as the parachute popped up Brian was relieved.
Then Jammie fell back with brian. “ What took you so long to pull the parachute?”
Jammie Mentioned. “ had a bit of a problem up here” Brian replied.

Thirdly, Brian and Jammie land down to the ground.
Brian didn’t know how to land on the ground and he landed on his feet
. “ OWWW MY LEGS! Brian screamed. Brian had a big shock to his legs.
Even though he was supposed to  land on his bottom.
Jammie Tried to help him but the paramedics arrived.
“ Wee ohh Wee oh” The ambulance rushed him to the hospital and did an x-ray. The
nurse found out that he had broken his ankle from big land onto the ground.
Jammie got checked and she was safe and sound. When Brian got his cast he
had to stay at the hospital for a few minutes or hours to see if he will pass out or faint.
“ Oh what a great thing to happen on my birthday” Brian Spoke. Jammie walked in and
sat beside Brian’s Bed and said. “ don’t worry” ``Did you watch the instruction video for
landing?” Jammie asked    “What video” Brian asked.  “Oh so you did not watch”
She said. “ I'm so sorry for not listening to the video,” Biran cried. “ It’s Fine” She
replied.  Brian was upset and  decided to go and apologize. 

Later that evening, Brian got taken back to the
skydiving station and went to David and spoke to him.
“ I'm sorry for not listening to the instruction video,” Brian said
. “ It's fine, maybe next time you will for your 51st birthday” David replied.
They giggle and They laugh “ have a great birthday” David said.
“ Come i've got a surprise birthday present. David and Brian walk
into the big hall and see everyone Standing in the light.
“ Happy Birthday to you , Happy Birthday to you , Happy birthday dear Brian ,
Happy birthday to you” David crew sing’s. Brian was so happy and they celebrated there. 

After The celebration they went home and had a big sleep and woke up feeling so good!
