Go Karting By Oliver

This is my cadet cart that I got from Dunedin. It was black and we stickered it up with green deadly stickers and we put a cross on the back. We went to the go cart track and we have to  have numbers on the back and I have chosen 91 because one of my friends has got 90! I wear a helmet that is a scorpion one and it has got air vents on the top and where my mouth is. I also wear a suit that has fluro yellow on it. I have to wear gloves to protect my hands and so I can hold on to the steering wheel better. I am training on the Appleby Cart track. We will be having some competitions next year. I spun out and did a very bad one and I nearly hit the fence, then I ran out of petrol.

Pirates in Brightwater!

On Tuesday we had a visit from Captain Blunderbus! He had a wheelbarrow with a chest in it. The chest was full of many useful things (including a treasure map!). We think we know where the treasure has been buried, so watch this space!!! We are going searching!

I was excited as I got ready for a very fun night just fishing. We drove to the wharf and I ran out to my aunty, it was her birthday. We had fish and chips for tea, I had nuggets. After tea we all went fishing. No one caught any fish but my second cosin just about caught a jelly fish! It was a very very fun night.

In the holidays I went motorbike racing at the farm. It was very rough. I went with dad and it took about 2 hours. Ollie, Luka, Nico and Shane went on the really hard track. We were very tired but the others had one more lap to do. After they finished we went home, we had to go all the way back to Nelson, but Ollie went with the others. It was really fun down at the farm.

out. 

Finally we came to a stop and Gdad (Grandad) said,  " Alright, you can put your hooks down!" Then About 30 Minutes Later I Caught A Snapper About This Long , 60 centermeters That Is Quite Long for A Small Brim (Snapper) And At The End Of The Day Uncle Clint Caught A Smaller Snapper. What A Fishy Good Day.

Spot The Bird By Matilda

On a sunny Monday afternoon Chloe and I were walking down our driveway. Suddenly! We heard a CHEEP! CHEEP! I shot down as fast as a bullet and crawled towards the sound...There! I shouted.There stood a month old thrush chick. Chloe scooped the poor chick up. She took him home and then we got him a cozy card board box to live in. Later that evening his box was full of wood shavings,he had his feed of mashed chick food and finally he had his nape. A couple of days later mum said we could tack Spot to school! The day past so quickly and then we brought him to school.

Hunting with Dad By James

 We packed our bags then said bye mum and jumped in the car for the long journey to Christchurch . The drive was  very long so we stayed the night at Gran's house in Christchurch . We had a lot of fun at Gran's house . 

The next day we were off finally. We came to Mt Cook! What a sight to see. Then a huge helicopter came and picked us up. 

The hut was small and had lots of sand flies but it was a good spot. 

After we unloaded we got out our scoops to spot thar [thar are like goats but bigger]. At first they were very hard to spot but then I got my eye in. I could see six or seven. Wow! They are hard to spot but then I got my eye in. Then we were off hunting!!!!!! 

We walked up a huge hill. We got nothing. ''Maybe next time,'' I said.

The next day dad and I heard several shots. It was Wellzy, Dad's  friend.  He shot to bull thar. 

The next day the helicopter got us. I had an awesome adventure.
