strike percussion performance

On Wednesday our school saw Strike Percussion. There were three men who came and they had big drums. My favourite bit of it was when they lit a candle thing an fire and then got some spray and stuff and the fire got bigger. And we got to make a rain type noise to make it rain.

2014 blog post

This is my first post for 2014. I am quite happy we can do it again.

school production

At school we are having a production called Unwritten. We have our own whanau group. I have about 24 people in mine & we have a song called "feel inside". Its a pretty cool song. We have to wear rapping clothes. I have a speaking part. I say 'my dad said he'd give us some sausages to cook and sell'.

Summary of Sam'n' Tommy

Sam and Tommy get lost somewhere they don't know. They get lost by the snakeman who stole the car while Tommy's mum was in the grocery store. The snakeman crashes the car with Tommy in side. They have to walk down the side of a river to find food.

Trees

Trees

I am at the park sitting under a

Tree

I see a flea

Just as I see it

A breeze starts

And then the tree I’m sitting

Under starts to shake

The flea gets blown away to another

Tree

 

There’s a howl some branches scratch

Me oww

I smell a charcoal smell and

Then I look out from

Under the tree there are leaves

Everywhere

farming

farming
Farming is a job. You have to do the right thing at the right time or else something could happen to you.
You can't be a famer without the right stuff.
I learned how to drive a tractor when I was 4 and I learned how to drive a combine when I was 6. I learned how to drive a four wheeler when I was 7. I love farming so much.
Every morning I wake up wishing I was doing something on the farm. I sometimes dream about it too. When I'm on the farm I do stuff like check the sheep, check the cattle - all that kind of stuff.
One fun thing I like to do is jump the hay bales.
In spring it is a pretty hard time of the year because it is when all the sheep have lambs. So we have to go round checking all the lambs. We have about 650 sheep. If there is a dead one we just throw it in the pit we've got.
In summer we do harvesting. We have only got 1 header so it takes a while and it's normally really wet. If it is wet you can't harvest.
We mostly plant wheat or barley or pees or triticale or radish.
We only have about 600 acres so our farm is pretty small. If you're wondering we live on a cropping farm. If your wondering what triticale is, it is a kind of crop you can graze sheep or cattle in it.
It looks a bit like wheat but it can't grow very long.
