Tarawera Eruption
Hi my name is Alan and I live at Brent’s Hotel at Te Wairewa My Mum works there and I help her after school.
One night I was lying in my bed and I woke from an earthquake. I went down and then there was a boom. Tarrawarra started erupting. Half an hour later the walls stared cracking. So we went McRae’s Hotel but after a but that was started to crack as well. So we went into the newest part of the Hotel. But 10 minutes later that started cracking as well. So we had to go out and try to get to Sophia’s’ place. We had to put pillow over our heads. Otherwise we would full over too much. In the middle of the day it was stool dark. After a while some people came bring as bake to Rotor.

Today I am taking the mail to Whangamomana. I am the driver of the mail cart and my friend Cameron helps me. 2 bullocks pull the cart. We left Stratford at 4 0’clock but the axle broke when we where going up a hill so we had to get another new piece of wood and fix it. So we had to stay at Pohukura. The next day we got to Whangamomana at midday.

WALKWAY
Yesterday we went to the walkway. Our whole school went and we brought the bikes up on the truck. We had to wait for Mr. Barnes and Toria. The walkway was 6 kms and we went there and back. The best part was the down hills. I don’t thing they should make it any longer because it is already long enough.
