My story

This is the first bit of my story I am writing. It is called

Shoot Some Ducks:

“Wake up! Get out of bed!” My alarm clock screeched in my ear.
“No! I am not giving up my territory! I demand 10 more minutes!” I replied, as I slammed my hand
onto the ‘OFF’ button.

I hope you enjoyed this! ;P

Pig Facts

I have been making an information report about pigs. This is what I found out: Pigs are intelligent animals. Like humans, pigs are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and other animals. A pig’s snout is an important tool for finding food in the ground and sensing the world around them. Pigs have an excellent sense of smell. There are around 2 billion pigs in the world. Humans farm pigs for meat such as pork, bacon and ham. Some people like to keep pigs as pets. Wild pigs (boar) are often hunted in the wild. In some areas of the world, wild boars are the main source of food for tigers. Feral pigs that have been introduced into new areas can be a threat to the local ecosystem. Pigs can pass on a variety of diseases to humans. Relative to their body size, pigs have small lungs.

My Limerick Writing

Here is another of my favourite limericks:
(that I made up)
There once was a fat, bratty man

Who wanted to drive in a van

But he had a car

And didn’t get very far

But he did find a very old fan

Boring and Interesting sentences

I have been working on boring sentences by fixing them up with my own interesting words. Here's an example:

Boring:

I ate an orange. It was yum.

Interesting:

My teeth bit into a juicy, ripe orange. My taste buds exploded with flavour. It was the most scrumptious orange I had ever eaten. 

I hope you like my work :)

My owl poem

Today I made a short poem about an owl with a sparkling coat who won every game:

Once lived a small proud owl

He won every fair game with a howl

He had a bright coat that would glimmer

In the dark eyes of the hedge trimmer

Who would announce with a shout,

You won, owl!

Limericks

I have been creating a book about limericks, and this is my favourite one so far:

A fellow jumped off a high wall,

And had a most terrible fall. 

He went back to bed, 

With a bump on his head, 

That's why you don't jump off a wall.

Te Āti Awa's Big Journey ☺

This is my WIT painting that I entered in the Wall Worthy Keep NZ Beautiful Competition. It is a painted version of how Te Āti Awa came to Taranaki. A chief built a boat for his daughter, and later his daughter's husband killed the chief's son. They go on the boat and travel far away, finding New Zealand. The painting is called Te Āti Awa's Big Journey. We painted it in dot art. Dot art's real name is pointillism.
