This photo shows me holding my rocket car that I built at Tamaki College.

Once I had finished my project I was proud of what I had done and I did well.

Tui Report By Chantelle

Tui Report

A tui is a New Zealand bird that has a white tuft underneath its chin but what makes it stand out, is its black feathers.

In spring some birds travel outside of their territory to feed themselves and their little ones.  To get food they have to go out into the open.  Throughout New Zealand they have to find good places to survive and good supplies of nectar.  

Sometimes the tui sings in the morning with all sorts of sounds such as croaks, coughs and squeaks.  A tui has a wide range of notes to sing with.

Tuis love to eat berries, fruits, insects and nectar.  For the first few days the baby tui gets fed tiny insects and nectar.  When they start to get older they get fed berries, moths, spiders and especially stick insects.

A tui can usually lay about 2 to 4 eggs.  It would take about 2 weeks before it starts to hatch.  The eggs only hatch in the nesting seasons which are December and November.

I asked the little boy who cannot see.

I asked the little boy who could not see,

‘And what is the colour like?’

‘Why, white,’ he said,

‘Is like the soft snow underneath my feet.

Red is like the sweet taste of raspberry juice that we made.

And green is like the lovely leaves falling onto my head.

Blue is the pouring rain falling from the sky.

Purple is like the smell of beautiful flowers.

The burning sun on my back, that’s yellow.

Brown is the taste of a delicious chocolate ice block.’
