The Cross country

On last week’s Thursday it was the school Cross Country. I really did have butterflies in my stomach. At the school’s sensational Cross Country my toes were frozen when I got to the front field. We got on tarpaulins so our trousers didn’t get wet from the grass.
The year six girls sped off so quickly followed by the year six boys. The year five girls and boys were a bit slower than last time. It was still amazing watching them speed off and then disappear into the cross country circuit. Next after the year four girls it was the year four boys which was me.
The year four boys lined up. This was the time I really had butterflies in my stomach.
I was a bit disappointed in the number I came. Tenth; that’s what number it was but it was better than last time. Cross Country is a sport and I like sport.

Kangroos

Kangaroos
Kangaroos are not mammals, they are Kangaroos are large animals that live in Australia.
marsupials. When marsupials are born they climb into their mother’s pouch. The babies are very small when they’re born. After the joeys are six months old they can get out of their mother’s pouch. They check out their legs. The joey starts to hop around the field. If the baby goes too far the mother calls.
Some predators like dingoes can catch kangaroos. If the dingoes get too close the kangaroo drops the baby in a safe place. The mother comes back for the baby at night.
Father kangaroos are the boss of the mob. A mob is a group of kangaroos. If another male tries to be the boss of the mob they fight.

How the Kiwi Lost its Wings

Long, long ago, actually a bit longer than when Tane pulled up the big fish and the birds ruled the sky, Kiwis sucked on nectar so they were happy up there. One day the winds and rain came. Tane Mahuta had to beg for the rain to stop for his homeland and it did. His homeland was safe but then a terrible thing happened. The deadly, evil bugs came to attack so they turned the forest yellow.
Tane called the birds for a meeting in the trees where no bugs could get them. “I need a brave bird to snap up the bugs and to save the forest,” said Tane. “Morepork, could you do this serious job for me?” “Sorry Tane. I love the sun and I do not want to miss it.” “Cuckoo, could you do this job for me?” Cuckoo shook his head and said, “I am building a nest in the trees and I cannot leave it.” So Tane turned to Pukeko and said, “Could you do this job for me?” Tui shook his head and he said, “There’s enemies out and I’m afraid of them.” Then he turned to Pukeko. “I like my feet dry so no.” Finally he turned to Kiwi ad Kiwi said, “Yes.”
“All you other birds are very foolish. You shall each have a punishment. Tui you shall wear the coward feather. Cuckoo, you shall lay your eggs in other birds’ nests. Pukeko, you shall have no company and you shall live in the swamps. Morepork, you shall hunt in the dark.” Then he heard a little crying up above. It was the Bellbird. “Don’t worry, you shall sing when the sun touches the bush.” “Kiwi, your gift is a long beak, thick legs and a good smell.” “Now go to your place, birds,” said Tane, “and goodnight.” So from that day on it has not changed an inch and that’s how Kiwi lost his wings.
