Hard brown ground
In Winter when it rains the paddocks flood but as soon as it drys up the grass turns brown as brown as wood.
My Dad and I tried to dig a hole into were it was the brownest part but the ground was hard so the shovels just went tink! I said to my Dad "why is the ground so hard ?" He said "because we havent had much rain lately."
My Dad went to the shed and got the sledge hammer to try break the ground a big crack went right through the ground he hit the ground again Boom! It was so much easier to dig.

Visit to the Mayor
On Wednesday my class a few parents and I went on a successful day out. Our first stop was to visit the District Council and meet Annette Main. She talked about being a successful Mayor. Then we asked a few
questions and tried on her shiny gold chain. When everyone tried it on, we had a shared morning tea which
was already set up when we got into the council chambers. Then a lady named Diana talked about all the glass windows and how special they are. My favourite window was Kowhai Park because it's so colourful.
After Cole had thanked Annette we got our bags and walked to Sport Wanganui.

Seeing Annette Main
Room 6 went to see Annette Main the Mayor of Wanganui because our topic has been success and we think that shes successful.
We walked up the stairs wanting to run.We all squashed up against the window looking at the Council Chambers.Diana,the receptionist took us into the Chambers."WOW!" I said Annette Main said,"Hello Room 6." We all then asked her questions after she said her speech.
There were beautiful and colourful windows up around the Chambers keeping the sun out,that reflected things that were important to Wanganui.My favourite was the Kowhai Park window,because it was so colourful to all the other ones.We all had to say goodbye and go to Sport Wanganui." I enjoyed seeing Annette Main and I hope that I get to see her again."I said, "Now I know that you need to have people skills to be a Mayor."

Cheeky Bird
Dad called me to the balcony. I hurried up getting dressed and came out. A cheeky looking rainbow lorikeet was sitting on the ledge head turned towards my Dad’s girlfriend Karen. Suddenly it flew up onto Karen’s head. It then found her earrings and eyed them. The bird got one of her earrings out of her ear and held it tightly in it’s beak. Dad started a tug of war with the bird.
I heard my toast pop. I quickly ran inside and spread peanut butter on it and went back outside with a piece in my hand. The cheeky bird was back on the ledge. I lent on the ledge to eat, and the bird spotted my toast. It hopped onto my hand and started making its way to the hand with the toast in it. I pulled the toast away and it bit my arm. Goodbye toast.
I put the rest of my toast on the ledge and went back inside, for the other piece. When I came back outside, the bird had pushed my toast over the edge! How rude! It heard me coming and turned around. I stepped backwards into the house to avoid that incident again.
