“Hurry up Patrick”, my teammates said. I rushed into the car with the others and we took a long trip to the Toyota Festival. There were lots of games, food places and bars. Jaden, Mikal, Enzo and I went to our first game, it was a game where you have to run as fast as you can while the ropes pull you back and you have to put the rugby ball in the hoop. After we went to other games like Volcano Adventure, it is where you go through obstacles and first one back wins. we drank water after each game. The four of us played sports like soccer and basketball. our best game was lazer tag and thats where you have a fake gun and you shoot people. The way to die is if you run out of bullets or if you get hit many times. When I was playing, a guy tricked me into being in my team and shot me many times and I thought that someone else was shooting me and I died after he shot me many times. But I had fun playing anyway.
Finally we all went home and rested after a big time at the Festival.
I am a Year 6 student at Christ the King School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Room 6 and my teacher is Miss Graham. This blog shows my learning journey so it is not perfect. Please comment on what I did well and what I could do to improve it.

Butterflies
Strange facts about Butterflies
Butterflies are weird creatures. They’re weird but they are beautiful honey collectors. The strange facts about them unique and beautiful.
Butterflies have green blood. A butterfly uses the end of its antennae to smell things. Butterflies breathe through tiny air holes on the side of them. Butterflies are cold-blooded. Their body temperature can be cold or warm, depends on the air around them. If it is cold, the butterfly can’t fly. It has to wait for its body and wings to warm up so it could move. Most butterflies have six legs, monarch butterflies have four legs. Butterflies taste with their feet. The butterfly’s long tongue is like a straw to suck up nectar from flowers. When its tongue is not being used, the butterfly rolls it up like a spring. Strange patterns on the wings may scare away predators. Eye spots on the wings make it look like a large face. A wing is covered with tiny scales that overlap like tiles on a roof. Brightly coloured wings warn birds to not eat them because they will taste bad. A butterfly’s eye contain thousands of tiny lenses to help it see. Like humans they only have one.
There are many more strange facts about them and that make them unique and beautiful from other creatures. These are the things that make them survive and adapt to their environment.
