coin toss huh!!!!!

Our annual ripper rugby competition was held on Monday the 8th of April at the Palmy show grounds. Kimbolton and Apiti schools combined to make a ripper rugby team. The aim was to choose a curtain-raiser for the Super 15 game. Kimbolton and Apiti joined together to become Northern Oroua. In the end e\we had a draw with another team in the semi's so we had to do coin toss. Aubyn had to do it and he chose tails but it was a 50/50 chance but the other team got heads so they went on to the semi's.

The Takahe has a very weird colour; some places green and some places blue.

It is fat with rough feathers. The bright red beak has brown spots from scraping it on stones.

 It is not as graceful as a pukeko but its legs are like they are pointing their toes before they take a step while wandering free.

Moving like a turkey, they bob along moving their necks every time they step.

You might think they are common but they are really rare.

There is only 3 on the north end ... Mum / Dad / Baby

camp cameo 1

"Everyone remember to not go out side eating because the Kaka will eat your food."
Nek minute!!
Zahn walks out side eating the last mouthful of his biscuit.
And swooping down from the door a hungry Kaka landed on his shoulder.
It opened up his mouth and took the food out. He screamed...
And the bird flew away that second.

"That walk was so tiring," whined Joanne. My legs are so sore and she pretended to fall over.
"Oh on! Joanne's dead," I cried.
Then the boat arrived so I left her there. But she didn't get up so I thought that she had fainted but when I went over to her I realised she was just  pretending.
"Come on. Let's go onto the boat."
We watched the water come up from the back of the boat.
It looked like a water fountain. You could only just hear everyone saying, "Wooowww!!!!!"
When we got there we all ran to the camp site and lay down on the grass.
After we set up the tents we had some thing to eat.
Mrs Cuming said to not go out side eating your food or a Kaka will eat the food out of your mouth.
Nek minute ... Zahn walked out side eating the last mouthful of his biscuit and a hungry Kaka swooped down from the door and ate it from out of his mouth and he screamed. The Kaka flew away that second.
