All the things I have loved

  All the things I have loved The flying fish that jump out of the ocean, All that sunlight that warms my body up, That rain that cools me down, The early sunrise and the late sunset that wakes me up and lets me sleep, All that water glistening around me in the sun, The fast changing seasons going in all directions, All those trees with their bark, thriving big and strong, ALL THE THINGS I HAVE LOVED.

  Life cycle of a monarch butterfly The monarch butterfly is a flying insect with orange, black and white wings.They drink nectar from flowers using their long tube-like tongue.They have a very complicated life cycle. Firstly, the female butterfly lays her eggs on the underside of a swan plant leaf. They lay the eggs on the underside because when predators come, they can’t see them and can’t eat them. Secondly the eggs hatch and become larvae. The only thing they do is eat, eat and eat! Then they get bigger and fatter.But did you know what they do with their own skin? When their skin gets too small, they shed it off. This is called moulting. After a period of time, they hang upside down on a tree branch and spin into a chrysalis. This is when the magic happens. The caterpillar turns into a monarch butterfly! This is called metamorphosis. The chrysalis is made of a hard layer of skin. After about 2 weeks, the monarch butterfly comes out of its chrysalis. Before flying, the monarch...

Hatupatu and the Birdwoman

  Many, many moons ago in the deep, dark forest there was a man named Hatupatu. One day, while he was wandering around the forest, he heard a great Hatupatu crept towards the scary shriek. He ducked behind some fern bushes. He opened the fern branches and saw…  The back of a very strange creature. It was standing on its bony elbows. It suddenly stood on its bony legs. It stretched its black, bony bat like wings. When it turned around, it spotted Hatupatu and glared at him. Hatupatu’s mouth opened wide, because he finally recognised the creature. It was the Birdwoman, the scariest woman and bird-like creature. The Birdwoman let out an ear piercing SHRIEK that could make you unable to hear.

Then he came to  a special rock. “Mata ti, Mata ta!” Hatupatu cried. The rock split open and he jumped inside. All that was visible was the Birdwoma...
