The bee's buzz is the sound of there wings which beat 11,400 time per minute wow! Did you also know that they use their tongue to suck water and honey.

Now were going to move on to kawakawa what is a native leaf to my country NZ. It was used for traditional Maori medicine they can also make kawakawa cream and chewed on it to heal tooth aches. If you wanted to try find some I'll give you some little spots so you can find them it is mostly found in coastal and lowland forests through the north island and the northern half of the south island.

The Jetty

Zoom! Hearing cars and loud trucks passing by me and my mates while we walk to my house. Finally we reached home and we had some juice. Pat spilled so he had to clean it up. We went to my room to play for a bit.  SUDDENLY, we had an idea we asked my mum if we could go to the jetty she said "yes".

We hopped in the car all squashed, Broom! We got to the jetty Keelan ran and just jumped in with a BOOM!
I jumped in secondly splash! Feeling the cold water spreading around my body swimming back to shore shivering cold. 

Then out of nowhere, Keelan jumps on Pat for no reason and then they have a sand fight me, Niko, and Ethan join in.  We start chucking wet sand and hard sand balls at each other.  Then started smacking sea foam in one of an others faces until my mum called us in. 

We jump off  the jetty to rinse off then we dropped everyone off. I felt real happy to hang out with my friends at the jetty that day.

Cross Country

I walked to the start line feeling nervous. "Finally, the girls are finished" said Che. At last it was our turn. Suddenly the lady's horn goes WHROOO! I started to sprint I made the most dumbest choice to sprint. Because I just got a stitch. Carlos is right next to me we start to talk the whole short lap until... Mr Sedcole shouted "Awwww! Come on!". Carlos ran now it's free-for-all. I kept jogging but I got tired straight away though. My mate Oliva was behind me so I stopped. I heard people cheering so me and Oliva glared at each other in the eyes and then we started race each other. Suddenly my mum pulled me off. I was so happy to get off that mud Carlos saw me when he finished and was like "whaaat" in a curious way. We went back to school my mum was saying "that we had sports today" and I groaned and said "bruhhh".

Flight of the kuaka

Kuaka travel every year from Siberia to New Zealand. They feed in New Zealand but breed in Siberia. When the storms hit Alaska they start to move to New Zealand. The Kuaka arrive on August and leave on September. When summer starts coming to an end they get serious about eating because the need to full up there belly's the Kuaka stop at Australia Japan and Russia they leave the elders back because they cant make the journey back they fly in a V formation. These birds travel further then every bird in the world within 30,000km.

Whistless

One day a poor bird named Whistless saw three birds whistling on a tree. Afterwards, whistless thought it was pretty cool so he joined in with them and tried real hard but failed. Suddenly, he flew off jealous often the train came it always made a toot toot noise so it did but it made whistless feel sadder. He saw a window open so he went to it for no reason someone was singing whistle but they didn't sing so he just whistled. He tried again but failed. Sometimes traffic would come so they needed a traffic officer he was blowing a whistle at the traffic. Meanwhile a little girl came she picked him up and took him to a swing on the way she started to whistle. She left to the zoo so did whistless. He found a tiger his whistle sounded like a saxophone. Whistless tried but he just failed the tiger said no and tried to eat Whistless but he left with short notice. The traffic officer was talking to a bad guy whistless was looking and saw the officers whistle in sight. Suddenly he flew to the officers whistle and pick pocketed his whistle and flew really high. He blew the whistle it sounded like a high pitched scream. everyone started crashing and started to get big frights. The officer said to give it back so he did and he said "shhhhh", Whistless held her breath and let out a giant whistle. 

And, everyone lived happy ever after.
