Day And Night

In the day children play and
brothers text on phones in the noisy park.

In the night children tell ghost stories
in the peaceful tent at the park.

Ancient Olympics!

A Girls Head

In it is a magical unicorn
and a project
for doing away with cleaning the dishes.

And there is
a horse
which shall be first.

And there is
world peace,
more loving and caring people,
and amazing creatures.

There is a laddie
with a pig’s head.

And there is a flower.

There is anticipation.

And it can not be held back.

I believe
that only what cannot be held back
is a head.

There is much promise
in the circumstance
that so many people have heads.

The amazing smiles at wood tech!

This is my class and I taking a photo because it is our last day at wood tech! Wood tech was so fantastic and fun.  I made a chopper, mine is the one in front with the green knob on top! I can't wait to do wood tech again! Mr Thomas was a great teacher at Tamaki College.

This is just to say

I have eaten the cookies that were in the glass jar. and which you were probably saving for my school lunches. forgive me mum they were delicious so crumbly and so chocolatey. Candice Sue Christina Tonihi Allen Moa

My Tui Report

What has black feathers and a white tuft under its chin? Well if you haven't guessed already it is a bird, a Tui. In spring, birds may travel outside their normal territory to feed. Tuis usually fly to places with good supplies of nectar. Tuis like open country and gardens. They live in a forest and scrub. So if you want to see a Tui they are usually found in New Zealand and offshore islands. Tuis are usually the first to be singing in the morning. They have a wide range of notes. Their calls are bell-like notes, croaks, coughs, and also squeaks. Tuis are most likely to eat berries, fruits, insects, and nectar. The young Tui get feed tiny insects and nectar but only for the first few days. The slightly older chicks get fed berries, moths, spiders and also large insects, they especially like stick insects. November and December is the only nesting seasons. It takes 2 weeks for a Tui’s egg to hatch. Tuis usually lay 2 to 4 eggs. Parents often move to offshore islands to have their chicks.
