Snowy the lamb

Me, Caitlin, Mum and Dad have a lamb and it is really hard to get  into the car because he follows us unless he is tied up to a standard.

Tuis in the tree.

Wow! a tui in a tree.When other tuis come to the blossom tree the tui who lives there, chases the other tuis away.He is greedy because he eats so much nectar.The tui likes the nectar from the blossom flowers.He puts his long pointy beak in the blossom flowers and sucks up the yummy honey.Sometimes he flips upside down to get the nectar because the blossom is hanging underneath the branch.

Otewa verus Maihihi crosscountry.

On Wednesday the 15th of August Maihihi came to our school to run against us.We ran on the Smith's Farm. The course was muddy,slimy,sticky, bumpy, stoney,prickly but fun and exciting and HARD!! We ran up and down the hills, through the paddocks and through cow poo to the finish line.
Some children got their shoes stuck in the mud, picked them up and ran with them in their hands!
At the end we were all covered with mud from our feet to our heads.
After the running we had a sausage sizzle with chocolate bars and juicies.
It was a great and very exciting day.

Rosie the cow.

On Wednesday we watched a play about a dairy farm and Rosie the cow.

Rosie lives on a dairy farm with Farmer Tom and Becky. Then Matt came to visit. Matt does not know about cows and he was frightened of them.

These were our favourite parts in the show:

When Matt came to the farm he stepped in Rosie's poo and he was wearing his white sneakers. He said," What is that smell?"

Matt touched an electric fence and got a shock, then he did it again and again. He said.Ow, ow, ow, OW!!"

Rosie burped really, really loudly, because she was chewing her cud.

Rosie stepped on Matt's PSP game because she didn't have any fingers . She has HOOVES!

The show was fantastic and very, very funny.
