                                     Auckland zoo!

                                                                             

It happened in 6th of October 2016 by Zephaniah

I had the most exciting and amazing holiday  going to Auckland Zoo. “I have never been there before” I say to myself, I was really blown away like a bomb exploding. My whole family went to  Auckland Zoo, except my mum and dad. I went with my uncle, aunt,  Nan, papa, cousins and my brothers and sisters.

Once we got there we first had to get our tickets to enter the zoo, while we were waiting for the tickets to come, we already saw some animals, it was a very tall giraffe like an very tall tree. Five minutes later we got the tickets then we entered the zoo so we can

see heaps of awesome animals that we haven't seen before. Sadly We didn't see all of the animals because we had to travel back home after that, but anyway here is some animals I want to shear. Just kidding, I meant like share with you. (shear means like saving something that is hairy like a sheep)

We saw really awesome animals like red pandas, tigers, spider monkeys and apes. My favorite part was the macaw bird because when we were watching the tortoise this lady name Lizzy popped out of nowhere and called out to two zoo keepers to get two macaws out so they could have a train. So one of the macaws had really colorful feathers and a sharp round beak and sharp claws. One of the macaws came on our side to see up close, so the zoo keeper put the macaw on one of the bird stands and the zoo keeper stand all the way to the chair and he put his hand out and he said “come on” and the macaw came to him, and then he got a treat for the macaw, the treat was a peanut. The macaw was quaking like a duck while we were looking at them.

After seeing all those awesome animals we had something to eat and then we traveled back home. I will never forget that day going to Auckland Zoo.  The best part i liked was having a great day and getting a chance to see my brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles and aunties.

Assonance

This week I have been learning how to make poems using assonance. We learnt homophones using there, their and they're. I learnt how to make awesome poems by my teacher whire lana.

Bok choy

This book is written by Paul Mason and the story is Bok Choy.

It is about a little boy named Jacob and a Chinese man Ah Sum. It is in Otago in a gold mining village in 1865.It is about Ah Sum saving Jacob when he was drowning.Ms Bishop was racist to A sum, Jacob and his mother were very nice to Ah Sum. But Jacob did not like Ah sum.Mrs bishop’s son name is william. He wasn't nice too. He was following his mother being racist. He was saying chinaman and tamping the carpet.

My favourite part is when Ah Sum saves Jacob.

Something that surprised me is when william is racist to A Sum.

Something I have learnt is commas and hard words.

Something interesting is when Jacob nearly drowned.

Whangarei Trip

Going to Whangarei.

On the holidays me and my family went to Whangarei. We went to go and get clothes shopping. And guess what? I got a tablet. I was so excited to go. “Yay, we arrived at Whangarei”. First we went to kmart to get clothes shopping. I got a pair of slippers, plus they looked warm. They were gray. And I got 4 thin t.shirt. They were cool but they weren't warm. And then I got a fluffy warm jacket it was blue and white. After that we went to harvey norman  to get our tablet. It was dark black. For lunch we had my favorite, Burger king. And then we went home again.

My next learning steps are

To know how to use a question mark and an exclamation mark correctly

To finish my writing with a reflection (what I thought about the experience)

To add more interesting language (adjectives, similes)

Here are my goals I am working towards
