Maria Gill

On Monday Maria Gill visited our school.  She is a New Zealand author and we have lots of her books in our school library.  We learned about native birds and their predators and how we need to look after our special NZ native birds.  She chose ten children to represent the predators and the native birds.  Visit her website at   http://www.mariagill.co.nz/

Watch out Birds!  Predators on the Hunt!

Pizza

Golden cheddar cheese drizzled of the triangular shapes of dough. The smell of pineapple wafted off the top. The first bite my teeth sinking into the ham, pineapple, cheese and the rich red tomato sauce. Steam rose off the top like pasta swirls. My finger tips wanted to be licked by my saliva filled tongue. My mouth watered with delight.

The Haunted Castle

Mutilated figures made shadows on the walls where enemies with eight legs were crawling. I heard a ghost’s voice that resounded with a scary echo then I saw that the window was open. First of all I thought there was mosquito nets , so I climbed the ladder ……ahhhhhhhhh one thousand black and white things scurried to my pale hands. I screamed and jumped off the ladder and ran out the door without stopping , I puffed , my nightmare was over!
