The tree with no name

The tree with no name legend

There was a family that starved because there was no rain. So the man sang to the tree of his troubles. Oh tree with no name my throat is dry I am thirsty I will go to Marondera how I wish I could find something to eat. Then yummy proper food fell out of the tree. After that he went home with a full belly. When he got home his wife had prepared dinner but he said I do not want to eat because he ate the food from the tree. So his daughter wondered why his dads tummy was fat. So then the next day when the dad went to the tree again his daughter followed him to the tree and the dad had no idea she was following him. She hid behind the rock and the dad sang. My wife is so greedy she eats all of the dinner look how I grow thinner and thinner the daughter was so surprise yummy proper delicious food came out of the tree with no name. Then the daughter ran to her mum and told her that there is a magical amazing tree come tomorrow when dad goes to the tree we will hide behind the rock and see what dad eats. Ok we will see said her mum. So the dad did not eat he insisted that his family should eat first and the mum wondered why he would not eat she thought maybe my daughter is right. So then the next day the daughter following with the mum followed the dad and hid behind the rock the father began to sing suddenly the mum sprang in front of him and sang This greedy selfish husband thats mine eats alone while the children starve. Suddenly the tree began to shake and to the mothers intention  down came yummy proper delicious succulent food came down. Then the mother and daughter and baby ate as much as they could when the father tried to eat the food was too bitter for him to swallow so he spat it out immediately. Thats the legend of the tree with no name.

Tree grows 40 fruit!

The tree grows 40 fruit

Award winning artist and also professor, Sam van Aken’s latest creation has mixed flawless art with science and also gardening, to create a tree that grows 40 fruit!  

The tree can grow 40 varieties of plums, peaches, apricots, nectarines, cherries also this its an nut called almond  and more.

Sams mix of fruit tree creation is better than loom bands and due to the fact that some of these fruits are ancient. This tree is so rare to come across. The tree itself is marvellous and an inspiring work of art and in stunning colour. The colour of the tree is crimson, pink, purple and with a touch of white blooms. Sam has placed sixteen unique forty fruit trees around the USA museums around the community.  Isn't that amazing?

Sam hopes his creation will be famous around the world and that it will teach people about the different fruit like peaches, plums and apricots that were ancient fruit.  Also one query why you cannot get as many in shops.

NO VOTE FOR ME!

NO VOTE FOR ME!

Some of these politicians may have the looks, the talk and the money cha ching$ but do they have the votes to conquer John Key. Labour could do that but the rest of them have a one in a million chance!

I think we all know who will always win the elections I don’t even need to say the name but for those who do not know who I will say it John Key. I mean people really should not be interested about the elections its not like someone could just walk in and win the elections even school students yeah school students should have the right to not be interested in these elections. No campaign or kind of smartness could change peoples minds about who to vote for. How can people trust these candidates. They are surely DIRTY politics!  

Whatever after sink or swim

Whatever after

sink or swim book review

The book whatever after sink or swim is an amazing book. This book sink or swim is a fascinating book about a brother and a sister their names are Jonah which is the brother and the sisters name is Abby. They have a magic mirror that takes them to any fairy tail like Cinderella, Snow White’s fairy tale and also Rapunzels fairy tale. This book is also about Abby and Jonah changing the little mermaids story Abby and Jonah mostly change the end parts of the fairy tales. I don’t like this book I love it because they change the fairy tales and make them more exciting and longer, The part I love in this book is when Abby says that she forgot her pyjamas at Snow whites haha very typical. I recommend this book for grades 3-6.

Te Taha Wai Marae

Te Taha Wai Marae

By: Gina

We went to a marae on 19th  of August. First we had to wait behind the waharoa because we could not just go in also because it is sacred land.

Once we heard the lady say haere mai we got to walk through the waharoa. I was so nervous it was like I wanted to smirk but I did not it was cool. We had to pause for little while to think of our ancestors those are our great great great grandparents. Then we continued to walk the walk till we got to the steps of the marae. We had to take of our shoes and leave them next to each other after that we got to go inside. I was so excited because it was my first time in a marae. The boys had to sit in the front and the girls at the back. Joshua K did his Mihi,  and Joshua J did the speech. We learnt about the ancestors that were carved on the wall and they showed peoples names in a story way. We also ate a one biscuit and one cup of water that was our morning tea because we were not allowed to bring our bags. After that we splitted up into two groups and did different activities.  We did weaving and an action song I forgot what it was called and how it went. Then we got to feel the ancestors they felt like good timber.  We also drew a bookmark of them. Suddenly we had to go and I was grateful that I had got an opportunity to go in an marae.
