Inter school Socer

It was the inter school soccer game and we had to play the other year 7 teams we came first place at the end, and we had a fun time celebrating.

Wood work

This is a very smart looking photo at wood work.  We all had a great time, and got to take our projects back to school on the last day.

This Is Just To Say

That I have stolen

the chocolate bar
that was up in
the chocolate jar.

And which
you are probably
hiding
for dessert.

Forgive me
it was scrumptious,
so sweet
and so delicious.

Tui Report

A Tui is covered with black feathers, but the other part of its body is not covered with black and that is its chest. It has a white tuft on its chest.

You will mostly find them around New Zealand because they are New Zealand natives, but you will also find them on offshore islands.  The like to visit a place with good supplies of nectar.  They spend most of their time in the forest and scrub.

Sometimes parents move to offshore island to lay their eggs.  Tui usually lay 2-4 eggs, and it takes 2 weeks for the eggs to hatch.  In November and December they have their nesting season.

The Tuis are first to sing in the morning, and they also have a wide range of notes.  Their voice is like the sound of the bell notes, croaks, coughs and squeaks.

The mother Tui feeds her babies tiny insects and nectar in the first few days.  The older chicks start eating berries, moths, spiders, and larger insects.  Their favorite foods are berries, fruit, insects and nectar.

I asked the little boy who cannot see

I asked the little boy who cannot see,

“And what is colour like?”

“Why red,” said he

“Is like the sweet smell of strawberries,

If you hear the big waves crashing that is the colour blue,

The smell of raspberry jam is like pink,

When the sun shines on me it covers my face in yellow,

Rice is like the taste of white,

The icky sticky mud is brown,

And orange is like the smell of the juicy orange.”
