Marshmallows and dead dinosaurs

On the 19th of April I went to Te papa with my family we saw some dinosaurs. Two Velociraptors and a Pteradactyl that James keeps telling me is not a dinosaur its confusing. I have not seen them in the awsome forces place before im not sure why they were there but they were cool!!!

On the 27th of April Ellen Quin came over we spent most of the night watching scary movies and eating melted marshmallows. Our faces were covered in the melted marshmallow mine was especially they tasted good though.

Nats :P

Kakapo at Wellington Zoo

On Saturday 24th of April I went to the Wellington Zoo with Hannah and her mum Mary Ann.
During the day they have sessions where you can see people feeding the animals and they give a lecture where you can go along and find out information about an animal.

We went to a feeding time where they were feeding a sick Kakapo that had been rescued from Codfish Island. The Kakapo is the worlds heaviest parrot. They were telling us about how the Kakapo is in danger of being extinct. There is just over 100 kakapo left in the world. They told us about their website thay have to help save the kakapo www.kakaporecovery.org.nz where we can find more information about the bird. I found the talk interesting because I didn't realise how endangered the Kakapo is.

On Saturday the 16th, my brother Xavier played a game of rugby at Wellington College. I wish I didnt go because it was so rainy and muddy and I got soaked. His team played really well and they won 66-O.

This is called the scariest path in the world. I think it is scary because it is a long way down if you fall.
I have learnt how to use html which is a code that is used to put images and videos on a website.

Norm Hewitt's Visit

Norm Hewitt the famous former All Black hooker and Dancing with the Stars Star (champion of the first season) came to Sacred Heart Petone. He told us about his life as an All Black and how he got there. He presented some Duffy books and made our class get up and stand in front of the whole school. Mr Hewitt did this because he knows that we need to stop worrying about being cool and be better role models. Then he came to Kakapo class and showed us some dance moves from the cha cha, but he needed a girl to dance with..... Karen bravely put up her hand to dance with him. He was a real inspiration.
