Frost Story

Stiff leaves surrounding the school field. It is a beautiful white sight! The frost looks like crystals. It feels numbing and slippery. When walked on it sticks to shoes and sinks into socks. The frost on the window screen looked like freezing cold feathers covering the window screen. Teeth are trembling on a frosty winter's day. The frost looks hard and crispy. BRRR, BRRR, BRRR the kids scream as they grasped a little piece of grass with a lot of frost on it. The grass is with glimmering frost, surrounding the backyard. The frost has bubbles inside it and it melts when it is in a very warm or hot place. frost is a unique type of snow. The trees are covered in frost, the bushes are covered in frost and the kids shoes are covered in frost!!! The roof of the house was covered with frost and the sun reflection was making it look like crystals on the roof. As the children get out their bikes and scooters they realise that it was so frosty that all of bikes and scooters were covered in frost!!! This winter is very unique because all of leaves that are covered in frost have got a special pattern on them. The kids say that they can hear lots of birds chirping and that sound of the cold air flowing and the other sound that they can hear is the sound of kids and people breathing in the freezing cold air. This was a very unique winter because this winter there was lot’s frost and that means that there would be lot’s of sunny and warm afternoons. I can’t wait until the next winter.


               Here are some photos of a frosty winter!

The Guinealion







                


Introduction


This report is about the unusual creature called the “Guinea Lion.”The scientific name for the GiuneaLion is called a “Roaring Guinea Pig.” scientists say that it was discovered from a place called “Blue Blah Bemoon” Read on to find out about the animals: Diet, Habitat, What it is capable of doing and lot’s more!


Description

It’s face is a guinea pig and the body of a lion. The GiuneaLion has
short curved bear type ears. The animal  has a black and brown
main, a browny, orange  body. It’s face has a Y shape of white and the rest is light brown. It weighs about 18  kilograms and 1800 grams.  



Habitat

The “Guinea Lion lives in the forest in Stewart Island. They are mostly found in shady parts because the Guinea Lion Like to relax in the shade even if it is Summer, Autumn, Winter or spring it’s fuzzy coat of wool keeps it nice warm. Sometimes if you are lucky enough you might see them in the forest of Australia.


Diet  

It’s favourite food is “Carrots and meat” When the GiuneaLion
is sick or unhappy the only thing that it will eat and
drink is lime juice and it will eat some meat.


Behaviour

The Guinea Lions behaviour is alright but when it is upset, sad, unhappy or lonely it starts to act weird like some has beaten it up really badly If it starts to behave like that I just leave it alone and a few days later she goes back to normal. If she is has not gone back to it normal behavior then we have to take it to a special type of vet because the normal vet is too small.


My Labeled Diagram


This is a labeled diagram of a GiuneaLion. This picture will contain the features of a GiuneaLion like the things that are said in the description. I will explain the fur colour and other things to do with the GiuneaLion.
In this diagram the arrows lead to: 
That it has the face of a guinea pig, The body of a lion, Pointy claws that are on it’s paws., Little faded pink nose, Ant size beady eyes, Blacky, brown and orange main, Tiny bear type curved ears, Long skinny tail.             


Conclusion

The Guinea Lion will not harm you unless if you are tempted to annoy it. If you are walking in the forest and you run into one DO NOT be tempted to go up close to it. The distance that you and the Guinea Lion should be is at least 16 meters. 15 meters is ok but 16 meters is much  more safe. I hope that you liked learning about the Guinea Lion Bye Bye.

The Minstrel


Here you go Miss Garland here’s my 2 dollars to go to the Minstrel! “ Thank you honey.” she replied. “YAH” I can’t wait to go and sing along with some of the kids from Parkvale school. As the kids started to line up I couldn't wait to go into the hall and see people perform songs for us. When I went in the hall, I heard kids laughing and as soon as my ears picked up that sound I knew that I was going to enjoy this Minstrel. After I took my first step in to the hall the way that I was feeling was basically indescribable, I was so happy it felt like......... um …......... it felt like I was grinning from ear to ear. Moments later the Minstrel people started telling the kids including myself about all of the main things to do and take when you go out fishing!!! First of all they told us some funny stuff about what they are going to do throughout the show. They said that when you hear the words “ Okey Dokey” You reply “ Hokey Pokey” and then you mouth does not say a word, squeak or a peep! 30 seconds after that the Minstrel man said the words “ OK Boo Boo.” 1 second after that everybody in that hall including myself started to laugh like crazy!!!! I heard some of the teachers laughing so I guess that the Minstrel man was pretty funny. The first song that he sang was about “ Seafood” He asked us how do you say seafood in Maori? He pointed to a girl named hope and she said that seafood in Maori is “ Kaimoana”. She gave the right answer so the Minstrel man called her up to the front of the hall and asked Hope the same question again and she gave the correct answer and that was “Kaimoana.” For giving the correct answer she got a prize and the prize was a poster that said “ Hiwi the kiwi goes fishing for the future”. She also got a sticker and on the sticker it said the exact same thing that it did on the poster. After that was over we gave her a great round of applause. As soon as she sat down the Minstrel man said “ Okey Dokey’ The School kids replied “Hokey Pokey” And their mouths didn’t say a word or peep or squeak, everything went silent. A few minutes later after the minstrel man talked to his wife about what they were going to do next. They decided to make us laugh and what they did made me laugh like I just had some with lot’s and lot’s and lot’s of sugar in it? The minstrel people put on a song and we had to clap to the beat. To make the kids laugh, every 3-5 minutes they stopped and we kept on clapping!!! They did that for about 15-20 minutes and then the man said “ Now, now kids settle down because now we are about to sing a song and in that song there will be a few hints for what to do and take when you go fishing. I can’t remember the words but I can remember two of the hints so I am going to tell you what two of them are! Number one is: To measure the fish when it’s cooler don’t forget to take the …...... can you guess what it is?? If you guessed a “ Ruler” you are correct. To measure the fish when it is cooler don’t forget to take the ruler!! Number two is: To keep the fish fresh and nice don’t forget to take some …...... can you guess what this one is?? If you guessed “ Ice” you are correct!! To keep the fish fresh and nice don’t forget to take some ice! Moments later the minstrel people started to sing a song for half an hour. “ HALF AN HOUR LATER” It was time to go back to class. Before we went the minstrel people said “ Kakita Ano” That’s Maori for “ Good Bye” I hope you liked this adventure about the minstrel so all I have left to say is “ Kakiti Ano” or “ Good Bye”.

Super Fly Guy Book Review

FLY GUY BOOK REVIEW

Title: Super Fly Guy.
Author: Tedd Arnold.
Characters: Fly guy, Buzz, Lunch lady, Boss, Schoolkids.
Rating: I rate this book a 10/10.
Age Level: I recommend this book for 6 years and over.


Fly guy is off to school with buzz, will he make trouble or will he save the day? The reason why I like this book is because it has lots of colourful pictures and big and bold writing so that people can read it easily and not have to wear their glasses. I also loved this book because the author has written it using the right amount of nouns and the right amount of verbs. This book would be awesome for kids 6-12 years. I chose this book because I found this book very colourful and bright.


Recommendation: Read this book if you are into cartoons. I would recommend this book for children 6-12 years old. If you can’t wait to read this book, what are you waiting for pick it up and read. If you are really interested in this book there are two other books in this series. Two of the books names are: “HI! FLY GUY.” and another one I know is called “ SHOO FLY GUY.”
