Kiwi’s

 Kiwis are the main icon of New Zealand and are one of our native birds. There are approximately 1,000 kiwi left in Hawke's Bay and 70,000 left in New Zealand.

 Kiwis have their nostrils on the end of their noses because of such a long bill and it helps them to find food for themselves and their chicks. Adult kiwi usually mate for there hole life and are strongly territorial the kiwis chicks are in their eggs for 70-85 days and come out fully feathered. Kiwis are a flightless bird but many years ago they used to have small wings but could never fly with them. Over time the tiny little wings started to go and now kiwis only have one set of little helpers.

 If you live near any kiwis please make sure you keep an eye on your cat or dog or anything that could be a threat , and like I said at the start how there are only 70,000 kiwis left in New Zealand well there is a problem the number of kiwis are going down because stoats and other threats are killing them.

 Make sure you keep your dog tied up and cats inside at night if you live in or near a kiwi habitat and this can really help keep all kiwi safe.

 Try and avoid taking your dogs into kiwi areas or if you do always have them on a leash or have a professional train them.

 Kiwis are the main icon of New Zealand and I chose them because of this very reason and to see if I could learn anymore about this amazing bird the Kiwi and I have I learnt that we are slowly losing the number of kiwis in New Zealand because of other threats to them.

My favourite person

My Favourite person………..

After a long time of choosing one person to do my writing on I chose my sister Courtney. She is 15 and much much taller then me and the good thing is we never fight anymore cause she is always in her room but when she is not hibernating in her room and comes out she can be very helpful all the time as she is the best at spelling in the house. She loves to dance and is always practicing bella in the kitchen to get ready for her risitels. she has brown hair  brown eye  she is 15 and this is my favorite person.

Ah Sum

Ah Sum was a old man that lives on New Gold Mountain in a small bunch of villers and it is all near a small chinese village where Ah Sum has never been. With the only light being the sun and a fire And his house was made out of wood and big rocks. with paintings and pictures on the wall.

Ah Sum sill has a lot of hair that is black and many many wrinkles and his cheeks are starting to folded in. He where’s a black hat , black shirt , gray pants and a  pair of black boots.

Ah Sum nearly every day takes a bag of vegetables to every house in the village. He is a very nice person but no one ever notices. He is very helpful and kind to mostly everyone but Mrs Bishop.

Ah Sum is a man that will help people in trouble like when Jacob when he fell in the river. He help him by taking him home and taking good care of him.

Ah Sum also love giving people vegetables to eat.

Over all Ah Sum is a very nice man he is helpful , kind, nice. You could easily go up to Ah Sum and have a friendly conversation with unlike most people like Mrs Bishop.

Hey the shield is ours!

Go the Magpies ! The only thing I could hear walking into the Napier rugby grounds was cow bells from the Waikato rugby supporters and man they were getting on my nerves. But, now for the game. I was all ready to wave my huge flag but that did not happen much in the first 5 to 10 minutes because Waikato had already taken advantage of our tired magpies and got a try. Oh man ! eventually our Magpies got a try and a few penalties and then halftime came.

At half time a lot of people started to leave but not me,  I still had hope. In the second half the ball was going backwards and forwards between the two teams.  The Magpies were playing their best in the last 5 minutes, which was too late.

Then It happened!

We lost the shield, da

A Moment in time...

5:00 IS TOO EARLY FOR ME.

It’s the 18th of September 2015 and it time for snowball fights we are are going to Taupo on a huge 60 seater 2 tv's tinted window amazing bus. It would take us 3 hours to get to the mountains so we could not stand up or breathe fresh air for 3 whole hours. Once we got up to the mountain we had a small morning tea by the bus and me and my friend Louis had ours at the back of where the engine was so it was keeping us warm.

Ok it time 321 snowball fight this was my first time seeing a lot of snow and probably the last for a while. It was an amazing time in the snow at one point I grabbed a huge snowball the size of my chest and throw it on someone. But it wasn't all fun because my fingers started to freeze up but at the same time i was lucky because my feet were all dry unlike everyone else with wet feet. It was really hard to run in the deep snow but that did not stop it from being fun.

But we could not stay at the snow forever so it was time to go to AC baths for a great swim with my friends. And a few slides which gave me bruises  and it felt like I was going down a black tunnel of doom. After all that pizza from pizza hut which was amazing the best pizza I have ever had and next a long trip home. WHAT A DAY !

cross county

Cross county

The postponement day has come and all I wanted was to get it over with. We had to wait quite a while until it was year 7 boys for cross country. Once it had come I was starting to get quite nervous and feel like I would fall over but that would not stop me from doing my best. The bell went off I tried to run but everyone pushed me right to the back so I had to try really hard to get my goal of getting somewhere under 10th place.I had 7th the whole way through the race but I had one boy staying behind me the whole race and he kept me going but it was making me hurt everywhere just keeping him behind me and he was Louis and I teased him by letting him get really close to me then sprinting off again and again till the very end when he snuck up behind me and we had a race of our own for 7th place and I came … 7th well done me.
