SUMMERTIME POEM - Jazire
The sun is hot and steaming
The waves on the beach are gleaming.
They sparkle like stars in the night sky
While all of the little birds fly up high.
The kids like to roll around in the grass
And all of their parents get their peace at last.
Summertime is the time of fun
It's warm and calm under the sun.
So when it's summertime don't forget
to grab a hose and DO get wet.
Mmm Plums, Ice cream and chocolate chips
I eat them all up and throw away the pips.
Longer day and shorter nights
More time to play no worries in sight.
I love summertime!

Room 11 went to Tiritiri Matangi Island. The students had fun looking and listening to the New Zealand birds that live there.
We first spotted a Tui. We loved the blue black feathers on its back.
Next we saw a New Zealand Wood Pigeon also called the Kereru. It is is a plump purple and bottle-green pigeon with a white bib, and red eyes, bill and legs.
The next bird we saw was the New Zealand Grey Robin. It is also called a toutouwai. Our pictures of the robin were all blurred so we dont have any to put up here.
Then we saw the Saddleback. Also called the Tieke, the saddleback are glossy black with chestnut coloured feathers on its back that looks like a saddle.
After looking at these awesome birds, some of us fell asleep on the ferry back to Auckland.

We were also very lucky to see the rarest bird in New Zealand. This bird is called the stichbird or the Hihi. We saw the female bird. I think the brightly coloured male was hiding!

On Wednesday the 24 February 2016 our class went to Tiritiri Matangi Island. We used two modes of transport to get there. First it was a very early morning ride in the bus to the Ferry terminal.
Next it was a long, but exciting ride in the ferry.
We reached the Island at 10:30 in the morning, were put into groups and walked around looking at some amazing sights. Room 11 will tell you more about this in the next blog.

Not long ago most of the students in our class had a hand in planting our orchard of over 100 trees. When our teacher took us to the orchard the other day, we were surprised to see the trees hanging with delicious fruit.
We immediately tasted the plums and apples that were ready to eat.
The pears looked mouthwatering too, but our teacher assured us that they were not yet ready.
We also can't wait to taste the yellow peaches which are heavily laden on the trees.
