Tristan's Go Home Stay Home

It was cold and prickly. The bitter cold wind hit my face, I had butterflies in my tummy. I  heard a seeker say "is anyone in the bush?" My heart was pumping as the precious time went past. I heard the leaves crush on the ground. I felt like I needed to go to the toilet. Then as the seekers went away I was happy. They left and I ran to the toilet.

Go Home Stay Home

I could hear the leaves rustling and the seekers coming. I heard them yelling "go that way" and their feet thumping on the ground as they ran past my tree. I saw Clayton  going  the other way. I think it's all clear. I can hear my heart pumping. I looked both ways and then.... go run run.

Devyn's Hide and Go Seek

My heart was pumping as the time went past. I heard Kyle yelling found you Maddy. I could smell the smell of food scraps and rubbish as I lay hiding in the recycling bin.

I thought i'm definitely next guess what I was Kyle found me because I peered behind the rubbish.

Sean's Hide and Seek

I'm hiding in the bushes by the sandpit , my heart was pumping. I was shivering as the seeker went past. I run as fast as I could go to look for a better place to hide. I heard the grass crunching as they
went past. I wriggied and they never spotted me in the bushes.

Tim's Hide And Go Seek

I could hear the birds singing as I hid in the bush feeling anxious. I was as still as a statue as the seeker scuffed up the stones she was muttering to herself. "Phew" I said as I looked for a better I spot. I then hid behind the tanks waiting until they do what they do best seek me. They were prowling around the but lucky enough I didn't get seen.

I was scared, taking 1 breath at a time "here we come" said the seekers. I am hiding in the bushes. I could hear the seekers rustling in the bushes to find their prey. Then Emma said "found you Toby".

Maddy's Hide and Go Seek

Hide and Seek

My heart was pumping as the time went past they where right behind me. Diving behind the sack smelling a stinky odour   that sank into my body. I could hear the sound of the seekers scuffing against the concrete. I was trying not to cough. I heard Brayden say I found you Ashleigh. As I lay hidden behind the i knew I was next. The seekers were whispering as they were searching for me. Brayden snuck up on me FOUND YOU.

Emma,Hide and Seek

I could hear the sounds of the seekers in the trees where I was hiding. I could hear the slushing of the

gooey grass and the squashing when they were walking. I was afraid for a second because I knew they

where surrounding me like I was cramped in a small place. They were behind me. The screams, they

were saying "you're out" to other people. Then a scream saying "you're out  Emma!" I was about to explode into a million molecules.

Tim's Marvellous Mammals Poem

The Marvellous Mammal

Mammals are warm blooded

has hair on its body

and gives birth to babies.

The hair on its body

helps it to hold in the heat

in cold weather.

Some mammals live in

burrows and others live in

trees while others wander freely

through the wilderness.

Dolphin  

The dolphin is a mammal it lives in seas, oceans and rivers.

The dolphin has fins and flippers. It is grey and can get up to 2 to 3 metres long.

The dolphins diet is fish, especially arrow squid, red cod, hoki and yellow-eyed mullet.

The mammal life cycle is much like ours. It starts off with the female dolphin pregnant then the baby calf is born. The calf grows until its an adult it then gets a partner.

Many people think the dolphin is rather intelligent. The dolphin has great eyesight this helps it catch it prey. The dolphin female dolphin is called a cow and the male dolphin is called a bull and there young is called a calf.

The Cookie Cutter shark

Cookie cutters teeth are curved in. So when they bite they get big round cookie shape chunks of flesh out of their prey. This is where their name comes from.

Cookie cutters are small but feisty, they will have a go at a human. They get the same confusion as any other shark. They think a surfer is a seal or a turtle and they may gust be hungry and bite them.                 

Did you know Cookie cutters glow to attract small fish or other small and big prey. This helps them hunt because it is very dark where they live.                   

People discovered cookie cutters because their were seals and stuff washed up to shore with cookie cutter bites on them.

The biggest cookie cutter ever to be seen and measured is 1.1 meters.  Most Cookie cutters only grow up to about 50 cm.

Hamish's Rarotongan hoilday

In February my family and I went on holiday to Rarotonga. We were there for 8 days. It was a wonderful place to visit. I really liked the way they presented things and had things laid out. I also liked the swimming and kayaking.
Here are some of the cultural differences I noticed while there:

• In Rarotonga you don’t wear seat belts and you ride around on the back of vehicles. 
•  No spouting on roofs. 
•  Clothes: floral, men have colorful flowery shirts, women sarongs; wear flowers in their hair and flowery shirts. 
•  Footwear: bare feet or jandals. 
•   Music: drums & ukulele 
• Traditional feast: Umu (NZ hangi) 
• Transport: scooters, bus that travel all day.
•  Dance outfits: women grass like skirts, feathery bits on hips, coconut shells as a bra, and flowers in hair.  Men a piece of material that covers front and back of bottom. Grass like skirts on their calf muscles.

My Special Clock

My Grandfather Clock Guess what?! I made this grandfather clock. It took me about half an hour and I made it from Kanex. It is about a foot tall and it has a tool that you wind it up with and that makes it go tick tock. You can also open a door. If you want to know where you get Kanex from, you can get it from America. Kanex is fun to use and you can make lots of different things with it. Sean ☺
