What Tree Should be Planted on One Tree Hill?

I believe that we should plant a pohutakawa tree on One Tree Hill.

Firstly, it has attractive velvet red flowers and it stands out perfectly and it's all over NZ.

Secondly, native birds and animals are attracted to the pohutakawa tree because of the nectar.

Lastly, it's a symbol of New Zealand and it's like our Christmas tree.

In my opinion, we should plant a pohutakawa tree on One Tree Hill because it's a NZ symbol and it perfectly stands out. 

The Amazing Kea

In the beginning, the Kingdom was a great striking forest where birds of different colours and sizes lived all together in peace and harmony.  Every bird kept eating the berries and insects. They all had the same song but different coloured feathers. The cheeky kea kept playing tricks on his friends and other birds. Every single bird had the same features and it was always summer and always day.

Later on the time of quarrelling began. The birds started to get greedy and they were stealing food out of each others beaks. They were punching and scratching each other and taking more food than they needed, and making more of them to be stronger. Then a great blanket of darkness fell upon the sky and made it dark and stormy for the first time.

In the sky emerged the phoenix god Ka. He made the birds climb a tree on one side so he could punish them but Krickta the kea was climbing the other side and stole sharp claws, a sharp beak, and a beautiful birdsong. When Ka punished the birds he gave them perches, jobs, different features and a different birdsongs. 

When all the birds were gone Krickta the kea flew up and Ka was furious with him and flew away. But Krickta the kea followed him and the sunlight stained the bottom of his wings. Ka banished the kea to the snowy mountains and he took away his birdsong so they could only screech. But the kea got to keep the beak and claws.

ORANG THE ORANGUTAN!!!

After my big adventure I scrambled to my spirit ceremony because I was late and I am turning 11 today. It was in Ashu Sashi and when I got there I quickly got dressed feeling proud of myself. When I came out everyone was tiny and silent as mice and a man called Uraza was there and he was a green cloak. I knelt down in front of him and he handed me the goblet with the nectar in it and I accepted it. The nectar tasted like warm lemon soup. I felt as cold as ice then a quick flash of light struck. A low growl of thunder started and it turned as dark as night and when the clouds cleared away my spirit animal was in front of me. Orang the orangutan was my spirit animal and I was very proud and surprised. I had a strong blazing feeling and I started to communicate with him with my thoughts. My orangutan had dark brown eyes that glittered and looked black like mine. When I summoned Orang I started to feel connected and when the flash went away I started to connect with him.

I Wonder

I wonder how the iPad can help me learn about problem solving?
