Ramadan - the month of fasting

Fasting means you can't eat or drink when the sun is up.When the sun is down and its really dark you can finally eat. You have to wake up early like 5 or 6 a.m if you want to eat before you fast. Muslims only fast in August when september comes thats when Eid starts. Muslims don't have to fast the whole month you can fast any time or 2,3,4, 5 days. Muslims fast because  they want to feel how the poor people felt. Some people fast because Allah says to fast. If you fast you need to be over  8 years old. Muslims don't have to fast but they have to fast sometimes.

Eid the day of joy yeah!!!!!

Yeah awesome lets go. That is the sound we make when it is Eid, Eid is the day of joy.  Eid is only        celebrated by muslim people it only comes ones a month after Ramadan which is also celebrated by   muslim people in August every year.  Eid is when muslim people go out and celebrate, they celebrate because they have been  fasting [not eating] and now it is time to eat as much as they want. For my Eid I went to Mission Bay and the  Rainbows End and ate nandos. The kids are the must luckiest because they get money from who every  they know I am so lucky because I have heaps of people in my family the only people you can't take money from is the people that are younger then you and also they can go anywhere they want to go kids choice. We muslim people call it the day of joy because it is a very fun day and we love this day .

Ginger's creative nature poem

 

N = nothing but a little door, will lead you into nature's tour

A = animals run and jump all day, while people sit and fade away

T = trees of the forest and plants of the land, and the cactus will lie in the sand

U = you know the seasons Summer,  Autumn, Winter, Spring, something god will always bring

R = rain can make some of our rivers, and some are cold that gives me the shivers

E = earth will spin round and round, on this place that someone's found

The Horrifying Earthquake in Christchurch!

Three days before the horrifying earthquake struck everybody was going to work going to school as usual. At night the rumbling had started everybody came out screaming. In the morning people saw their houses their cars were all damaged.

The magnitude was 7.1 it happened on September 16th 2010.

Now Christchurch is having aftershocks. One of the after shocks was so deadly that the magnitude was 6.4!

The cracks on roads and paths are so deep that sand is bubbling out.

People are saying that to repair Christchurch it will take 1 to 2 years to get Christchurch repaired and on the go.
People were saying that an earthquake was going to hit Christchurch anytime.
But luckily it happened at night and if it had happened in the morning buildings would fall lot of injuries would occur more often. An earthquake happens when rocks underground fall along a fault then it releases a big amount of energy that makes all the rumbling Check out this video
