On Tuesday Ah! Watch out for those nasty things. Sorry about that ah – as I was saying, 9^th March the Livewires went to an extinct volcano called Maungatautari. It was fun because Room 5 had to go through a door that you had to push a button to make it open and you had to shut the gate that you just opened to open the next one. There was a fence that had really little gaps for nothing to get through and you can see on the top wire there is a medium size flappy thing that tells you that the fence is electric. It has an alarm on it so if anything goes past that its alarm goes off. So they don’t get away and kill the native birds. So there is a seat with a sign saying check your bags for mice. Then we finally got in and WOW! I’ve never seen anything like it. But first we went to an 88 step lookout. What a great view. Then we all got a photo together. After that we went to the …. Wait, listen said Mrs C. Err, alright, it was a fantail. It has an amazing chirp. But we had to carry on to the Kaka feeding because we would be late. So we carried on and… no one was there. So we carried on for a couple of minutes and then went back and he was there so we stayed and looked at the very cute and BIG birds. One went past and poohed on me. After we went through all the trees and stuff. There were a lot of trees I have not seen. Then the Livewires followed the pink ribbons to get to the dark black tracking tunnels. Our first one did not have any foot prints, neither did our second one did not have any but the third one had big prints instead of rats or ferrets like that. But on the second one 7 people got stung and only 7 people with 18 stings. I saw one on Josh’s head. I picked up a stick and I whacked at it and it fell into his hair so I had another swing and hit it off and then it fell onto the ground and died. After that the day at Maungatautari was finally over. The End.

Aah a nice hot day in Chile – oh no the ground is shaking. 1 minute later it’s still shaking. Finally it stopped. Wo! Look at that big wave – it’s amazing – what is it? Though it could be dangerous, nah let’s just watch. It’s getting closer BANG! SMASH! CRACK! BANG! 700 dead that’s all that happened on Saturday. And now it’s heading to New Zealand. The police have shooed people off the beach and made them head for the hills which is the safest place. On Sunday a rather unusual thing happened – the tide went in and then went out and the out tide was 2 metres deep but nobody knows what’s going to happen.

Hello, I’m Ben on 3 News. This is a terrible thing that just happened. An Irish person has just died after a big horse fell on him. They were just walking and then a guard walked right in front of the horse and gave it a fright. Then it fell on top of him. The guards look like knights a bit but their armour isn’t as thick. They have a feather on top too.

I'm working with Shanelle on teeth we had truble puting them on the lips. I had to do them very sharp. I am working on my desk. I think the painting bit was the funerst. We solved the problim because Shanelle had made the lips too short.

I think that Maths is more important because it gets more and more harder. I like doing very hard maths.

Hi my name is Ben. My three dogs names are...Chance, Joe and Bud. There bredes are Hunterway & Eyedog. Joe & Chances coulers are black & tan. But Buds is black & white. Chance is 8 years old. Bud is 3 years old & Joe is only 1.

The Livewires live in the Waipa District, New Zealand. It is a peaceful place because there are not traffic lights in Te Awamutu but there are lots in Auckland.
There are 10 people in the Livewires who live in town and 14 who live on the farm.
Some farms have dairy farms what they grow stock on. Cows eat grass and turn it into milk. Some of the milk goes to Fonterra and some goes to Open Country Cheese. Some farms have crops and maize on the farm.
The town of Te Awamutu has 10 000 people in it. The dairy factory keeps all the milk and puts it in bottles.
Our special mountains are Maungatautari, Kakepuku and Pirongia. They are extinct volcanoes. Some creatures live on them called kiwis. They have enemies like stoats, possums, mice, rats, dogs and cats but to keep them out there is a 50km fence.

A kiwi is a native bird in New Zealand. Kiwis have burrows one to three metres long. Kiwis are the same size of a hen but their egg is six times bigger and they normally need to sit on them for 65 to 75 days. They eat berries, worms and insects. Kiwis have claws on the end of their feet to fight.

Our Environment has lots of trees & birds. My favrit part is the shrub because we can make huts.
