Life Education part 1

                                      Life Education.

We’ve had our first session in the life education caravan, on healthy food.  Here are some of the things I learnt:
What should you drink ? You should drink water every day of your life.
What junk food you can eat? you should only eat a little bit of junk food for a treat.
Who decides what you eat ? The person who decides what you eat should be your parents & the people that are looking after you.  You can also decide what you eat.

My Day and Night poem

                                        Day and Night



In the day the kindergarten children play on the swings in the amazing park.

In the night the stray cats sleep under the slide at the spooky park.

A boys head

In it there is an Olympic game
and a project
for doing away with practice.

And there is an opening
ceremony that brings all the countries together.

And there is
an entirely new sport
an entirely new venue
and entirely new rules.

There is rain
that falls upwards.

There is a homework table.

There is an antique medal.

And it cannot 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.

wood work

 This photo shows our class projects.  I built a plane. It was fun and exciting.

This is just to say

I have eaten

the chips

that were in the

cupboard,

and which

you were probably

saving for

a snack.

Forgive me

they were delicious

so crunchy,

and yummy.

I asked the little boy who cannot see

I asked the little boy who cannot see,

‘And what is colour like ?’

‘Why brown is when you can feel leaves falling down on you in autumn;

Blue tastes like the salty blue sea.

Yellow is the feeling of warmth and happiness.

Red is like the soft rose that grows in Spring.

Green is like the soft grass that people play on.

Orange is the sweet taste of orange juice on my fingers.

Grey is the sound of the rain dropping on the roof.

Tui Report

The tui is a bird that has black feathers.  It has a white tuft of feathers under its chin.

The tui is found everywhere in New Zealand and the off-shore islands.  They like places that have nice flowers with nectar.  They live in the forest and scrub.  They also live in open country and gardens.  In the spring the birds may travel outside their normal territory to feed.

The tui is the first bird to sing in the morning.  Their calls can go very high and very low.  Tui make bell like notes, croaks, coughs and squeaks.

They like to eat berries, fruit, insects and nectar.  Young tui are fed tiny insects and nectar for their first few days.  Slightly older chicks are fed berries, moths, spiders, and large insects.  They really like stick insects.

The parents move to off-shore islands to build their nest.  Normally they lay 2 to 4 eggs.  It takes two weeks for the eggs to hatch.  The bird only nest in November and December.

Statistics Investigation

Eastern Beach

In the holidays I went to the beach. My mum and my brother and I drove in our van.  It didn’t take long to get to Eastern Beach.  When we got there it was hot, very very hot so I rushed into the sea. It felt warm, like getting in the shower.

I was just floating in the sea, it felt relaxing. The sea was taking me away so I had to swim back to shore.  My mum was making sand castles with my brother.  I kept on swimming I dived down under the sea I opened my eyes but I only saw green water.  Then I picked up some mud.  It had a nice slimy feeling. Then I made a sand ball that I threw at the sea.  It broke into little pieces.

Then my mum told me to get changed because we were going home.  We had lunch on the way home.  I was happy being at the beach that day.
