Legend of the Kea

Long before the time of people there was a land far far away that was filled with the colourful plumage of birds and magnificent forest as far as you could see. All the birds shared a beautiful bird song and they lived in peace and harmony. Cheeky Krikta the kea always did mischievous things. Suddenly, birds began to lay more eggs and the time of quarrelling began. They stole food off other birds beaks and their pain made the sky dark. But then the incredible ruler of all the birds appeared Ka! He said "Why have you made a such a mess? For the first time the forest is the most disgusting place I've ever seen, you need to clean this mess up! Meet me in my tree so I may give you a place to live and your punishment then I will give you your beaks, wings and bird songs." But Krikta stole a beak, bird songs and wings. The next day Ka saw Krikta sing to Starling. Ka was horrified he said "who dared to give you a  beautiful bird song." Krikta didn't reply, so Ka left without giving Krikta a place to live. Then Krikta followed Ka into the Sun's light which shone on his wings and stained them an orange colour. Then Ka gave Krikta a comment he said , Krikta you are very smart but you now lose your bird songs.

The Cockatiel

One day last week, a dad wanted to enrol his son at our school. But then suddenly, a cockatiel landed on Mrs Compston's head! The dad grabbed a book and put the book on his head to protect his head. Toby must have scared it off in the library or the VW room. Mrs Osborne found the cockatiel and found it's owner on trade me. But the dad still wanted to enrol his son to our school! And then the cockatiel went back to its owner. The cockatiel had a punk hairstyle and red cheeks.

New Tree Hill

 

I believe we should plant a pohutakawa tree on One Tree Hill.
Firstly the pohutakawa is a symbol of N.Z. and our Christmas tree represents N.Z. and also it reminds us about the joy of Christmas.
Secondly it is a very strong tree and there is very heavy wind blowing on One Tree Hill.
Thirdly a pohutakawa tree can attract native birds who are very important pollinators that can make a great environment.
Finally and most inportantly it can last for 1,000 years so it can be there for ages.
It's obvious that a pohutakawa tree should be planted on One Tree Hill.

What tree should be planted on One Tree Hill?

I believe that we should plant a pohutukawa tree on One Tree Hill.
I think that the bright red pohutukawa is a strong tree and it is very windy up on One Tree Hill so it will survive. It is certain that it would attract beautiful native birds onto the pohutukawa tree. It is a symbol of New Zealand and reminds me about Christmas because red is a Christmas colour and the pohutukawa tree flowers are red.
In my opinion, we should plant a  pohutakawa tree on One Tree Hill.   


What tree should be planted on One Tree Hill?

In my opinion I surely think that a powhutakawa tree should be planted on One Tree Hill.
Firstly, it is a extremely strong tree and One Tree Hill is very windy so it will not fall down. Secondly, it can at least last for one thousand years if not more! Thirdly, native birds will suck up the nectar such as tuis, bellbirds and more.
Finally I think that a powhutakawa tree should be planted on One Tree Hill.

What tree should be planted on One Tree Hill?

I believe that we should plant a Pohutakawa tree on One Tree Hill because it is strong.

I think that the beautiful Pohutakawa tree has bright red flowers and it stands out so we can see it around Auckland. In my opinion it's a well known symbol of NZ and it's like our Christmas tree.
Thirdly native birds are attracted to the Pohutakawa tree because of the nectar.

For these reasons I think we should plant a Pohutakawa tree on One Tree Hill.




Cats and native birds

In my opinion I believe that cats should be allowed outside even though they eat native birds.
If cats stay inside all the time then they will get cheeky and start pooing and peeing everywhere in your house so that you have a mess to clean. 
Secondly you would not like to chase after your cat all of the time just to keep your cat inside!
Cats will get bored if they stay inside and they will start to rip up everything in your house ( like the curtains and the rubbish). 
In conclusion, I say that cats are allowed outside.
 

School uniforms

I feel that we shouldn't have to wear our school uniforms.
I believe that it would be more fair because teacher's do not wear uniform's. 
For this reason, if you can't find your uniform you are in trouble. I feel that we can look different and show off our personality if we don't wear our uniforms.In conclusion, I believe that children should not wear uniforms.
