Sorftco Nuclear Accident

In tekau ma iwa tekau ma whitu (1967), there was a nuclear power plant that had a nuclear melt down and 75% of the workers died and they couldn’t afford to rebuild. So they abandoned the place for eternity. And it’s still abandoned to this day! So I decided to go explore this so called Sorftco? “Is it Sorftco?” “Yeah” “Oh ok“

I went inside the powerplants area and started to go and explore this weird green world. It had kakariki green vines with maroon texture around itself. I went inside and it was a very crusty, rusty location. There was weird bits of green slop dripping down from the brown cracked wall with bits of ooze sitting on the wall. I went outside to go and visit the office and see what was left of it.
 It had strips of carpet hanging down the hideous wall and it smelled like rats and radiation. I looked in one of the dusty drawers and found a missile button and as It turns out, they had planned to bomb America (their own country). So I went outside to go and investigate the surroundings of this smelly place. There were canned beans, radiated water and bits of pākākā chestnut rusty metal everywhere...

If I Had Wings poem

For the past few weeks we have been doing poetry. This weeks task was a poem about If I Had Wings... First we had to answer some questions and then we had to colour in the piece of paper with the poem. Last of all we had to write our own If I Had Wings poem. We had to use sticky 
( interesting ) language, use the five senses and use interesting verbs and nouns. Here is my poem.
