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.’

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.

Travelling to Whanganui by Kataraena


What happened in my holidays? We traveled to Whanganui, down the line. We travel there every year  for a celebration. When we got there, first we had to put up the tents.

After that, I went for a walk, it was fun because I got to see everyone that I knew. One night I went to see the talent show, first they had bands playing. When all of the bands finish performing, the talent quest was on, everyone was happy. There were groups of three, they were, the juniors, intermediates and the seniors. It was awesome because there were a lot of great singers. The juniors were better then the intermediates and the seniors were awesome too.

The next day it  was the main day, we  had to dress up nicely. It was a  really hot day, we had a nice feed, and we also walked to the park.

Now it was time to go home. We had fun traveling back. We did stops to see people we knew. When we got back we had to unload, when we  finished unloading I was tired so I had a rest.

I had loads of fun hope we all have fun again.
