New Zealand

New Zealand is fun. I have seen pied shags, fantails, scaup, bellbirds, riflemen, two rare white herons, and a pied stilt. I love New Zealand birds because some of them are very beautiful. But the kiwi is my favourite.

Dear Class 6

New Zealand is fun I like your pictures. I saw 5 kiwis. Have you heard of tuataras?

L&P

In New Zealand they have L&P. It's a fizzy drink quite like Coke. It's really nice.

If we invite you to our house, you might have some to drink as we're going to bring it back with us.

Felicity.

Editor's Note: L&P is Lemon and Paeroa.

Pippins

On Thursdays I go to Pippins.

Pippins is Rainbows in New Zealand. It's for children and the children are girls who are five to seven. We wear a uniform, a pink top with a pippin (it is an apple). It has a blue sash.I need a safety pin to clip my sash together.

We were the first to arrive. Always we have an afternoon snack of apple before they start Pippins. To start we all get in a circle. We talk about what we did in the week. We make things also at Pippins. We shout the Pippin Chant:
"Give me a P", "P"
"Give me a I", "I"
"Give me a P", "P"
"Give me another P", "P"
"Give me a I", "I"
"Give me a N", "N"
"Give me a S", "S"
"What does it spell?" "PIPPINS"

At Pippins yesterday I got Pippa Bear for a week. I have to take her back next time. Pippa Bear has a little pin for her sash. It is a blue ribbon.

Holiday on the South Island

We are staying in a camper van. We sleep on the top. The place where we have lunch, supper, and breakfast is where Mummy and Daddy sleep.

I went to the kiwi house and saw a kiwi. I have got a cuddly kiwi bird.

We went to a holiday park and there was a playground and a swimming pool with a slide.

We went to Milford Sound which is very famous. We saw some seals.

We climbed the highest mountain I have ever climbed - 919 m.

Lang's Beach

I went on holiday to Graeme and Barbara's beach house.

We went to the beach in the morning and the afternoon. We had barbecues every day. We ate breakfast on the high balcony where we could see the beach.

I jumped over really, really, really, really high waves.

New Zealand is good and it is fun and I like it.

There are different cereals in New Zealand. I like the one with honey, it’s really nice.

We went to the beach. I had goggles on. I went on a body board.

We went to the museum and we saw a volcano erupting on a TV and on a model.
