                    New Guinea Pig
Bam!I banged the door shut.I finally arrived home from my sisters enormous school.My dad was saying that the guinea pigs got soaked from the horrible weather.I peered in the new brown box.As i looked in i saw a tiny figure laying on the rough hay.It was a new born baby guinea pig!After a while we came up with the name jack.

After a Long boring weekend I had a go at carrying Jack.When i tried and i grabbed him,he started doing a deafening cry for Frankie,the mum.I put him back and he stopped immediately.As i kept on holding him repeatingly he went quieter and quieter.I saw the mum cuddle him a lot and they would have no idea i was watching.

Now Jack does not cry that much anymore and Frankie doesn't mind.Sometimes I see them snuggle up together and doze for a bit.As Jack got older and stronger he kind of seperated from Frankie.”I cant wait to have another guinea pig!”I say to my mum in a excited way.

When jack turned 1 week old his ginger started to spread,over the brown and white like a poisonous gas that killed millions of people in world war 1.But Frankie stayed the same,Black and White.

Now that Jack is a bit older,his ginger has stopped spreading.”Next time i get guinea pigs i hope they are fluffy like Jack is!!”

                                                           Honey bees.

Honeybees are insects that collect honey and give it to the baby bees.They make honey by collecting pollen and nectar.Then they take it back to their hive and start working working on it.In a hive they form colony's to protect their hive and their queen bee.



The queen bee in the hive that makes baby bees called larva's.Some
of the baby larva's get fed royal jelly.
                                                           Color poem
                              I Am Red
as red as a bursting Sunset coming from the bright                                  sunlight.
                            I Am Orange
as orange as a rat running out to grab the delicious                              yellow cheese.
                             I am pink
as pink as a Olympian getting last in 100 meter                                         hurdles. 
                           I am Yellow
as yellow as a fluttering honey bee collecting nectar                              and pollen.
                                I am Green
as green as a pirate on a wonky ship steering the                                       wheel.

Squash reflection

                       Squash reflection
This term we have been learning about squash.When I started doing squashing wasnt that good but then as weeks passed doing squash I got better.I liked doing squash because it was like tennis but better.There were a lot of activities we did at squash like we played squickit.Squickit is squash and cricket combined together.We versed people and did partner games.I learned how to hold the handle properly and how to serve.

Music with Mrs m reflection.

Music with Mrs m was so fun I have gotten better at music.We learned how to use team rakau sticks and then we made them with magazines and we put co, bored tape to make them look better and stay as a circle to decorate them.After that we would go into groups and make up our own music.In music with Mrs m I learned that when we do music we have to relax and do music and try and concentrate on music when doing it.

guinea pigs report

                        Guinea pig report
Here is a link to my animal report about guinea pigs.
And down here is the story.
 Guinea pigs are one of the cutest and best pets you could have.Guinea pigs are also a good pet because people like there style and the way they walk.Guinea pigs are from the rodent  family not from a pig family just because they are called guinea pigs.Guinea pigs are also sometimes called the cavi.Guinea pigs are originally from the Andes Mountains in South America.

A guinea pig name for a male is boar and a female guinea pig is called a sow and a baby guinea pig is called a pup.To know that a guinea pig is happy they make a purring noise.Guinea pigs are vegetarians and they eat all day and night.When guinea pigs sense the owner near by they will sqeak to get the owners attention.

Guinea pigs do not bite for defence but they bite because they think that A persons hand is food.

When guinea pigs are pregnant they have to be separated from each other so the male doesn't mate with the baby when it is to young.Pregnant guinea pigs are pregnant for 70 days or from 1 to 10 weeks.Baby guinea pigs can only mate when they are from 15 weeks old.Guinea pigs can have up to 4 baby pups and they can have more but it's no healthy.Guinea pigs can have double birth that means that they give birth to a litter and about a month or 2 later they have another baby that is bit bigger.
