The boy who cried wolf

Hi my name's Cool Jack, Cool Jack the sheep.I've been working with the baaa Shepherd boy for 20 years. My favorite hobby is eating grass. My favorite desert is steak covered with grass. I live in the fields with my mum don't tell my friend Carlos and Johnny because they will laugh at me.

My friend Carlos is younger than me he's 9 years old. Well don't get me started on Johnny all he does is eat and sleep all day.

I've got a problem. The Shepperd boy is a liar. He said,"Wait there I'll just go get you're favorite desert.''

He never did he just yelled "wolves!" When there weren't any wolves.

Wolves appeared out of nowhere and tried to eat me. Luckily I ran up a big apple tree and never came down. The Sheppard boy had to go to prison for lying to the villagers. He got 18 years he was angry!

The Giant weta

The New Zealand Giant Weta

By Alex Eliu

Some of the New Zealand giant wetas live in Waikato, New Zealand.

Wetas have big strong legs to protect them from predators. They also have spikes on their legs.
Species:
Did you know there are 11 different species of wetas?
Wetas can grow up to 10 centimeters long.
Predators:
One of the main threats for the New Zealand giant weta is fire because if it burns down the gorse flowers they will have nothing to eat and it can burn down the Wetas’ habitat. A rat is a predator to the giant Weta because it can’t defend itself because a rat is bigger then the giant weta. Dogs, wild animals and wild cats are predators to the wetas.
Diet:
The giant weta likes to eat gorse flowers.
Behaviour:
The Giant Weta is non-aggressive.
Conclusion
The Giant Weta is the most interesting weta because it is very big.It was interesting studying about the giant weta.

Auckland Zoo

On Thursday 1st of September Glenbrae school students, staff and parents went to Auckland Zoo to study about animals. Kato, Austin, June and I were in the same group. Kato’s mum was supervising us as we went around the zoo.

First we went to see the zebras, emus and giraffes. Well, I was scared of the giraffes because I thought the giraffe was going to lift me up with it’s mouth, Luckily it never happened.

When we moved to see the emu I was thinking, "That's not an emu, its a Moa."
I was wrong I just remembered moa is extinct. After that we went to see the rhinos. On the way there I saw chickens and roosters. It was funny because when I was walking a rooster just jumped out of the bush and I got a fright.

When we walked past the lions I saw a male lion sleeping behind the tree.

While the group was looking at the flamingos I was having a rest. I was so tired I nearly fell asleep.  Once I saw them moving to see the elephants. I ran as fast as I can and caught up to them.

Room 8

Today in room 8 we are learning about animals. We had to write down animals that don't come out of their skin and animals that do come out of their skin. Tomorrow Glenbrae school is going to the zoo it will be exciting.

A goblin's tale

Today on 2nd of June Glenbrae students, teachers and parents came to the hall to watch a show called "A Goblin's Tale".
It was a funny show because the Princess said the Goblin smelled like poo! 
The Goblin got stuck in glue with the Princess and the Prince. The Prince made a rope out of a hankie and they pulled eachother out of the glue.  The Prince and Goblin started dancing and singing, it was funny.  The Princess turned into a superhero and the Prince turned a magician and the Goblin turned into a Knight.

My inquiry picture

What am I?

I am one of the pillars you need me to survive.
I am invisible, I have weight.

I cause terrible storms around the world.
I take up a lot of space around the world.
I make feathers float.
I can be dangerous.
You know I'm around you but you can only feel what am I.

Can you figure out what I am ?
