Day and night

Day and night

In the night families dine at restaurants

and drive their cars along the very scary and dark streets.

In the day children love to run about with their friends

and go home to relax with a nice cold ice block in the very busy streets.

A girl’s head

In it there is a planet
and a project
for getting rid of the alien

And there is a
spaceshuttle,
which shall be first.

And there is
an entirely new rabbit
an entirely new bumble bee
an entirely new hamster.

There is my age or my birthday.

There is a space shuttle.

There is antipodes.

And it cannot be put down.

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

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

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.
