Wood Tech at Tamaki College


I had a amazing time doing wood work with Mr Thomas. It was a bit hard, but without Mr Thomas, we wouldn't be able to build our projects. I did well, and I hope we can go to tech again.

This is just to say


I have taken
the strawberries
out of the garden,

and which
you were probably
saving for breakfast
or to make a strawberry juice.

Forgive me,
they were very juicy,
so delicious, and sweet.

I asked the little boy who cannot see

I asked the little boy who cannot see,
‘And what is colour like?’
‘Why purple,’ said he
‘Is like the tastiness of sweet juicy black currants,
The colour blue is like the feel of water running through your fingers,
Red is like the smell of roses
Bubble gum is pink;
Brown is like the delicious taste of chocolate mousse,
Orange is like eating nice, crunchy corn chips,  
and white, is like a big great lemonade ice block.’

Tui Report


A Tui has a lot of black feathers, and it has white tuft under its chin.

The Tui is found throughout New Zealand and offshore islands. When it’s spring, the Tui birds travel further than their normal territory to feed. The Tuis go through the forest.  Tuis have good supplies of nectar from  places.

Tuis have 2 weeks until their eggs start to hatch. Parents travel to offshore island to nest. Tuis usually have 2 to 4 eggs in the nest. The only nesting season for Tuis is in November and December.

When Tui’s wake up in the morning, they sing. Their notes are croaks, coughs, and squeaks.

Their favourite food to eat is, berries, fruits, insects, nectars, moths, and spiders.
