On ANZAC Day me and my mum, my nanny and my great auntie, my dad and my sister went to a place in Port Chalmers. Some people did speeches. I think it was called a ceremony. On the first Sunday of the holidays me and my sister, dad and my mum went to my great auntie’s house for dinner. My great auntie has a long table. We had dinner and dessert. My favourite is dessert because my nanny always brings cheese cake. I like the strawberry flavour. In the holidays I lost my wobbly tooth. I got $5 from the tooth fairy. In the holidays me, Emma and mum went to Moana Pool. We went in the pool for 5 minutes and then we went to the hydro slide. By Jess |
I saw my nana and my cousin Maciey. We went to get matching tops in town. We went on the bus to town. By Mahalia |
I went fishing with my dad. We caught 7 blue cod and 1 trumpeter. They had to be as long as this box so we can eat them. My dad put my bait on my hook for me. By Jaih

Our Butterfly Stories
|
We had a monarch butterfly. It started as a caterpillar. The caterpillar ate most of the leaves on the swan plant. Then it made itself into a chrysalis. Then it transformed into a butterfly!! It dried out its wings. Then it flew away. I think its going to the Botanic Gardens. It might have got into the Botanic shop. It might sneakily be trying to get an ice block! By Remy |
We got a swan plant from Rūma Pipi with an egg on it. Then the egg hatched and out came a baby caterpillar. It ate and ate the leaves of the swan plant. It gets bigger. Then it went into a chrysalis for two weeks. Then it turned into a butterfly. I wonder where it went. By Martha |

Then they will turn into a caterpillar. By Clementine |
