The Octopus

When the trap landed at the bottom of the sea, the Pacific octopus came out of  his cave to hunt for crabs.  Some crabs scuttled into the trap. The octopus glided in the water then camouflaged into the ground.  Then he pounced into the cage like a lion pouncing.   He actually pounced into the cage so he was trapped too. The fisherman Steve stated to pull the trap up with the octopus in it!    WHOOSH!!! The octopus some how got out! The fisherman was frustrated! 

Lion and the giraffe!

As soon as the lion started to chase the long necked giraffe, the giraffe ran as fast as he could.  The giraffe was running because a big pride of lions were trying to kill, and then eat the giraffe.  Even though it was dusty and they ran through lots of water, the giraffe kept on running!  Before very long, another lion got ready to pounce. When the lion did pounce, the giraffe kicked the lion to the ground, dusty and sandy. Then the clever giraffe stared to stand and jump on the poor lion who tried to stand up, but of course he couldn't. Next the giraffe ran away and the lion walked off looking sad because he had been beaten. 

Dragons

Dragons have sharp teeth. Dragons live in dark and scary caves. Dragons like flying high and baring their fangs. Dragons have big sparkly wings so that they can be seen in the sky. Dragons have babies so that dragons don't become extinct. Dragons blow fire out of their nostrils and mouths to burn things. Dragons have big mouths to kill their prey. Dragons like staying in their caves so if a predator walks past, the dragon can kill the predator and eat it. Dragons need lots of food to eat because they are very big. I would feel scared if I saw a dragon because dragons are scary!!!

Dear Mr Sedcole,

Please can we have some of your money? If you don't give us money, our scraps will go to the land fill, when we could give it to the worms. We need money because we need to buy things for the worm farm, like a watering can. We need to keep the worm farm damp. A watering can could sprinkle water on the worm farm. We also need 7 buckets with lids, we would put one bucket in each classroom for the scraps. We also need a worm wee collector to collect the worm wee. We added it all up
and we ended up with $140.

Kind Regards 

Mia Millichamp.

At The Marae

I saw lots of photos on  the wall that were photos of people who have died.

I heard the beautiful karanga welcoming song. 

I tasted yummy red, mini sausages (cheereos). 

I felt some soft, blue carpet.  

I felt very welcomed.
