Flight - a Prezi by Candice


I asked the little boy who cannot see by Leila

I asked the little boy who cannot see,
 ‘And what is colour like?’
 ‘Why, blue,’ said he,
 ‘Is like the freezing water, surrounding me in the pool,
 Green is the wind racing through the leaves with excitement,
 Purple must be a dark cloud sending rain drops down, And
yellow is the sweet taste of banana cake,
 The rage that people let out when they're angry; that’s red.
Pink is the fluffy candy floss that I like to eat, and
 white is the plain sound all around me as I sleep.’

I asked the little boy who could not see - by Henry



I asked the little boy who could not see
“And what is color like?”
“Why red,” said he,
“Is like sitting in front of the fire at my house.
Pouring rain on a cold day that is blue.
Yellow is like the warm sun that shines down over me.
Purple must be thunderclouds fighting in the sky.  
The forest where its nice and peaceful, that is like green.
Pink is like the sweet taste of lollies that we eat on birthdays.
White is the fog that I walk through on winter mornings.
And orange is the orange drink that I have before a rugby game.

This is just to say - by Henry


I have eaten
the ice-cream
that was
in the freezer

and which
you were probably
saving
for your dessert tonight.

Forgive me
it was delightful
so sugary
and freezing cold.

I asked the little boy who cannot see - by Kataraena

I asked the little boy who cannot see,
‘And what is colour like?’
‘Why purple,’ said he
‘Is like the tastiness of sweet juicy black currants,
The colour blue is like the feel of water running through your fingers,
Red is like the smell of roses
Bubble gum is pink;
Brown is like the delicious taste of chocolate mousse,
Orange is like eating nice, crunchy corn chips,  
and white, is like a big great lemonade ice block.’

I asked the little boy who cannot see - by Samira


I asked the little boy who cannot see, ‘And what is colour like?’ ‘Why green,’ said he, ‘Is the soft touch of the grass as I walk through it. Blue is like the smell of the salty sea. Eating a capsicum as crunchy sound that’s red. Pink is like the smell of the roses going through your nose. Purple is the colour of a juicy plum when you’re eating it. Yellow is the colour of a delicious banana peeling off the skin. And white is like the softest tissue on my nose.

The Tui - a report by Kataraena

A Tui has a lot of black feathers, and it has white tuft under its chin.
The Tui is found throughout New Zealand and offshore islands. When it’s spring, the Tui birds travel further than their normal territory to feed. The Tuis go through the forest.  Tuis have good supplies of nectar from  places.
Tuis have 2 weeks until their eggs start to hatch. Parents travel to offshore island to nest. Tuis usually have 2 to 4 eggs in the nest. The only nesting season for Tuis is in November and December.
When Tui’s wake up in the morning, they sing. Their notes are croaks, coughs, and squeaks.
Their favourite food to eat is, berries, fruits, insects, nectars, moths, and spiders.

I asked the little boy who cannot see - by Roswell

I asked the little boy who cannot see,
‘And what is colour like?’
‘Why, purple’ said he, 
‘Is like the Lakers screaming at a basketball game;
Blue is when water drips from a tap;
And black is like Coca cola; the taste so sweet and fizzy.
White is what you feel when you walk into a church;
The sunrise that you feel shining upon your face is yellow;
Grey is what you smell when the taro is on the stove;
And maroon is the colour you feel at Panmure Bridge School.

Tui - a report by Candice

What has black feathers and a white tuft under its chin? Well if you haven't guessed already it is a bird, a Tui. In spring, birds may travel outside their normal territory to feed. Tuis usually fly to places with good supplies of nectar. Tuis like open country and gardens. They live in a forest and scrub. So if you want to see a Tui they are usually found in New Zealand and offshore islands. Tuis are usually the first to be singing in the morning. They have a wide range of notes. Their calls are bell-like notes, croaks, coughs, and also squeaks. Tuis are most likely to eat berries, fruits, insects, and nectar. The young Tui get feed tiny insects and nectar but only for the first few days. The slightly older chicks get fed berries, moths, spiders and also large insects, they especially like stick insects. November and December is the only nesting seasons. It takes 2 weeks for a Tui’s egg to hatch. Tuis usually lay 2 to 4 eggs. Parents often move to offshore islands to have their chicks.
