Moanataiari Six is a class of seventeen super kids who inhabit Room Six at Moanataiari School in Thames, New Zealand.

On this page you willl find some of the work produced in class during the Fourth Term 2000.

Our class literature study is "Hatchett" by Gary Paulsen.

We wrote about how Brian would feel whan he realised the pilot was dead.

 

When Death Came Too Soon

"Oh God!" What am I going to do now? I'm here in a plane on my own. I don't know how to fly this thing. There's a dead pilot in the seat! My mouth feels dry. I don't feel so good. I think I'm sick. I'm going to die.
Calm down Brian.
I have to figure out how to fly this thing.

Margarietha

 

Death

Plane going down.
I grab the steering wheel.
I pull it towards me.
The nose of the plane lifts up.
I don't know what to do.What should I do?
What AM I going to do?
Fear grabs my body.
Sweat runs down my body.

Amanda

 

Death

Oh God what will I do? The pilot's dead. I don't know what to do. Oh no, the radio's dead. My life flashes before my eyes. As I panic more and more the plane dips.My stomach feels like a knife cutting me into tiny little bits.

Simon.

Dead

Pilots had a heart attack.
I can't fly.
I can't fly this little plane.
I need help.
I'm going to cry.
I'm never going to see my family again.

Gavin.

Facing A Plane Crash.

Oh God, here I am in a Cessna plane. The pilot Jack is dead. Oh God. The pilot's dead. I don't know how to fly the plane.

I try to radio for help.

Daniel

 

Death

Oh God, I am going to die.The pilot is dead. I don't know to fly a plane. I'm going to die. The plane dips and I feel a bit wet in my pants. I pull the steering up but it seems useless. I try the radio. Fear grabs me. I start shaking.

Thomas

 

 

Facing Death

"He's dead!" Brian is shaking in his bones."The pilot is dead." Suddenly the plane dives. Brian's heart is beating faster. He is trembling in his boots. He grabs the controls. He screams in fear. Life and death is running through Brian's head. His dreams have turned into nightmares.

What will happen if I die?

Dairne

 

Death

Middle of no where facing death. Left to control this small bush plane. Haven't a damn clue what to do. I've never in my life been this shaken with fear. My eyes are starting to burn again, and my brain is blocking out any ideas that could help me control this plane. Pilot had a quick but still frightening death and now myself I am being faced with that horrible word, "death."

Brooke

Death

Trying to think. Flying a bushplane. The Pilot's dead. Oh my God, what do I do? Facing death is terrifying. How has this happened? My life is flashing before my eyes. Scared, trembling, sweating.
