Foxes

What Foxes Are
Foxes are wild animals that are like dogs.

Foxes have gingered coloured fur and long tails. They have small legs and long bodies. They have small fluffy ears and a short necks. 
Where Foxes Live
Foxes live in countries, such as  Australia, Philippines, China, America, Greenland and Japan.

What Foxes Eat

Foxes eat birds, rabbit, mice, earthworms, insects, eggs and fruit. They eat chickens too. Foxes will sometimes chase their food, like a rabbit or a mouse. Whichever one it  chooses to chase, it will lie down and wait for it to come. When it spots one, it will sneak up behind it then it will pounce on it.
Cubs
When it is time for the vixen to have her cubs, she will spread leaves and bits of hair all around the floor of the den to make a warm bed. When the cubs are born, they keep their eyes closed for ten days then they will open their eyes.
Foxes' Dangers

Some of the foxes' dangers are a golden eagle, bobcat, snakes, bears, the red tail hawk, wolves, the rough legged hawk and, the worst one of all, humans.

Healthy Breakfast

Today I learnt about eating healthy cereals. Healthy cereals are All Bran, Fibre Life, porridge and Weetbix. When you go shopping for cereals, you should look at the side of the box to see if it has less than 15 grams of sugar, less than 10 grams of fat and more than 5 grams of fibre. You should always eat a healthy breakfast. If you want to have a bit of sweetness in your cereal, you can add some fruit. Don’t  have Cocopops because they have  36.5 grams of sugar and they only have 1.2 grams of fibre. If you don’t have enough fibre in your spaghetti, you could have some wholemeal toast. Also if you want some more fibre in your cornflakes, you can add fruit to have more fibre in your body.

Anti-Bullying Show

Yesterday the whole school went into the hall to watch Elgrego's magic show.
When we were ready, Elgrego began his magic, by making birds appear. To start his magic, he opened the box and let us see that there was not a bird. Then he twisted and turned and pulled and then he opened the box and there was a bird. The whole school was amazed. The next trick that he showed us was a book. There was nothing in there, then he clicked his fingers and said, "It better work. It better work," and a bird appeared. The other tricks were amazing but my favourite trick was a cage with three birds in it and then he said, "It better work. It better work," then he put a blanket over it and a rabbit appeared.
Next, he performed a magic trick with a fizzy raspberry drink. He poured the fizzy drink into a plastic cup. He put the cup into an up- side down box then he turned the box to the left then the right then he turned it upside down. The whole school was so excited to see if the drink had spilled then he opened the box and not one single drip had spilt.The whole school was amazed and we clapped.

After the drink trick, we watched Elgrego talk with Seemore, the baby green dinosaur. Seemore was sad because at school people were picking on him. Elgego is a ventriloquist. A ventriloquist is someone who talked for puppets like Seemore. Elelgreo asked Seemore what the kids had been doing. Seemore said, "Well, they have been teasing me because I'm green. Also, when it was my birthday and I took my basketball to school, a big bully came and threw it onto the roof."
Finally, Elgrego performed the brick wall trick. First of all, he told us about what he was going to do. He was holding a curtain so he  couldn't walk around the brick wall, then he said, "It better work. It better work," and he walked through the brick wall. Everyone in the crowd was amazed and clapped. 
At the end of the show, I thought it was the  best show I've ever seen.

Panthers Win

On Saturday, my netball team and I went to the netball Hopu Hopu grounds.We walked outside and played on one of the new courts.The whistle blew. We started with the ball. Aarianne got the first goal.The other team started with the ball. When they got to the end and passed, I jumped up as high as I could and I got the interception and I passed the ball to Maru and we got the second goal. It took ages for the ball to come down to the Diamonds GS. When the ball got down, C was so tired that she passed the ball straight to me.We took the ball down to Aarianne and got our fourth goal. At the end of the game, the final score was 10/0 to PANTHERS. I felt really happy because we won!!!

A Fishy Tale

One day, my family and I went to Raglan.  

When we got there, we went fishing straight away. 

When we got out to the harbour, I threw my rod in the water and waited and waited and waited, then I got something!!  I pulled and pushed and, when I got it, I screamed and screamed!!

It was a sting-ray! Ahhhhh!  I got such a huge fright that I dropped my rod in the water.  

My Pop pulled the motor and we zoomed across the water.  My brother jumped into the water and chased after the rod.  The sting-ray got really scared and swum faster.  

At the end of the day, we didn't get my rod back.  

After all that, my family now call all my rods, "Running on the Sea" rods.  

That's why I hate fishing.
