Our Adventure to see the Kakapo Chicks.

On Wednesday Room 7 was very lucky to get to see a couple of rare Kakapo chicks close up.

Although we were not permitted to take photos of the chicks, we managed to take a snap of Katie presenting the DOC girls with a beautiful thank you card she had created.

 

 















After a quick bite to eat and a visit to the Invercargill library, Room 7 along with Room 5 headed to Queens Park for a little play.






Although it was a little chilly, we wrapped up warm and had a great time.

 

 

Room 7 would like to send out a HUGE thank you to the three wonderful mums who came along on our field trip. You were amazing.

What Would you Rather have : a Cat or a Dog?

I would rather have a dog.

I would rather have a dog because you can take them outside and play fetch.

Another reason is they don't sit around all day and be lazy, like cats!

Also you can train them to do amazing tricks like shake hands and roll over.

So that's why I would rather have a dog than a cat.

The High Redwood

The Redwood is as long as a giant reaching for the clouds, trying to catch a bird. It is like a skyscraper with millions of people trapped inside. There is a big brown trunk in the deep cold forest with forest green leaves reaching for the sun. The Redwood is sitting in the middle of the dark cold forest with the leaves falling off the trees in Autumn. It feels as rough as sandpaper and rough concrete mixed with hard stones. It smells rotten but the leaves smell fresh. Birds can be heard singing in the big branches. Thousands of leaves are falling from the sky one by one.

The Wonky Oak

The tree is as big as a four storey house. This tree is a dark brown colour with pear green leaves hanging off it. It has about 80 branches for people to climb on while the kids could build a treehouse in the branches. The leaves are swaying in the wind like butterflies flying in the sky. This tree is standing tall on the ground like a girl standing on a chair. The tree has a bumpy cylindrical trunk with crisp leaves all over the ground. I can hear the birds tweeting as the leaves crunch under my feet. Some children must wish they could be there to play on the tree all day.

The Weeping Willow

The weeping willow is as tall as two African elephants. The branches are hazel coloured and the leaves are chartreuse green. The trunk of the tree is reaching for the sky like a skyscraper. The weeping willow has a tall cylinder trunk that grows taller every year. It has thousands of branches that stick out everywhere while the rough woody trunk can support a child’s treehouse. The willow leaves are drooping to the ground and it has the smell of wet wood. Would you like to build a treehouse in this tree?

Which is the Best Takeaway?

Turkish Kebabs

I believe that Turkish kebabs are the best takeaway in Gore.

Why I think that is because the kebabs fill me up.

Another reason why I think that kebabs are the best is that, the first time we went there the man who worked there let me go behind the counter and take people's orders.

The Turkish kebab place has other things like chips, kebabs, salads, drinks and more.

I love Turkish kebabs.

What could you not live without - Music or Sport?

I would not live without sport because I like running and netball, and I like coming 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

I also chose sport because I was born with fast legs and I like running my heart out. I would never waist my amazing gift.

So that's why I would rather have sports than music.
