The Singing Leaf book Review

I have been reading an awesome book could the Singing Leaf this article and photographs by Briar McMahon this book is about katydids and what they do and what they look like. What interested me was

katydids ears are down the bottom of their legs, did you know that? Do you know what a katydid looks like, here is an example of a katydid.

I learnt a lot from this artice like what they eat they camouflaged into that color like if they eat a

colorful rose they turn into that color. How they sing they rub their wings together and there sound is like this zick, zick, zick. Do you know when they eat they eat at night during the day. Katydids split their skin nearly five times.

I learnt that katydids sing with their wings and they split their skin nearly five times and I liked learning about this katydid life cycle.
Here is my question for all you readers, what do you like about this book reveiw?

                                     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.

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.
