I like the dirt

I like the dirt. I want heaps of it. Dirt can make big mountains. And if you make mountains, sometimes you can climb up them. It will be very fun. I would sometimes slide down.

Chooky the chick

At Tawa Montessori Preschool a chook called Chooky ran away. It is now 5 weeks old. It ran under the fence. One of my the teachers saved it. Chooky ran away and we don’t want it to do that again. It is always lonely and always lost. It has three brothers and sisters. It tries to find his mother. His brothers and sisters keep on pushing him back because it is younger that its brothers and sisters. It is smaller then the others.

Te Horo (2)

I went to Te Horo. I went to my friend Rhys’s place. We played in his forest. There were streams, we had to go over them. In the forest we played lions. It was hard walking, because the stream started coming up. As soon as we walked in, it was all dryed up where the stream was. Until it came up, it started getting a bit muddy. And heaps of trees, tall and small.

Hedgehogs

We saw a hedgehog. In the gutter. It was moving. It was moving very fast, to find food. It was a little one. Because it was in a place where it should not belong, we put it in the bushes where it was safe. It could flatten the tyres of a car if it got run over. Hedgehogs have feet, and spikes, and a body and a head. They look like a ball. Hedgehogs are mammals. Hedgehogs hide in bushes.
