The lost Kitten
One sunny day in a very tidy neighbour hood in Te Anau. Oogie a small ginger, tabby kitten was out walking trying to find an adventure. As he jumped up onto a wodden wall, he heard a loud scratching noise. Oogie was feeling rather curious. He looked round the corner to see an extremely skinny grey blue Burmese cat. The grey cat slowly turned around, his green eyes sparkling. Suddenly the cat pounced and he was on top of Oogie. Oogie thought he was a goner. Oogie finally got free and had to dodge roses, dustbins and boxes. When he finally made it to the wodden fence, leading to his house he jumped over it and glanced behind him. The grey cat turned back, because he knew he knew he couldn't catch Oogie.
Oogie rushed home and had his dinner. He felt scared of the cat but wanted to find out more. He wondered about that cat, the next day he went back to where the grey cat was the other day. He found the poor homeless sick cat eating out of the bins. Oogie felt sorry for the cat and he called out,
"Do you want some food?"
Oogie was scared in case the grey cat pounced on him again. The grey cat turned around, he decided it was worth a chance as he was sick of eating out of the bins.
Oogie said, "If you do come you can't hurt me."
"Fine," said the grey cat. He was a bit scared himself.
The grey cat followed Oogie with caution.
When they arrived at Oogies place, they snuck through the cat door. The grey cat thought Oogies place was tidy and stylish. There was cat nuts, jelly meet, milk and water. The grey cat started eating he loved the food because as a wild cat this was paradise. He spilled milk and water everywhere because he was eating the food so fast. Suddenly there was a click at the door and the owner of Oogie walked in, she saw Bob picked him up and placed him outside. Oogie followed. Grace the owner of Oogie decided to find the owner of Bob.
As they walked Bob ran ahead and hid. Oogie kept walking, Grace knew that Oogie would be able to find Bob because cats have great sense of hearing and smell.
When Oogie found Bob, Grace had a proper look at him. He was a grey blue Burmesse Minx cross.She realised the cat needed medical attention. She ran back home with Oogie in hands. As she arrived home her mum pulled into the driveway. She told her mum all about the cat. They rushed over Graces mum was curious about the cat as she was a vet. When they saw the cat the cat her mum checked it all over, the cat had a broken leg and was really sick. Graces mum rushed Bob to the vets. Bob had to have a plaster for 6 weeks and had to be on antibiotics called amoxicillin for 3 weeks. After that he could go up for adoption. In the end Grace and her mum adopted Bob. Bob and Oogie became great friends and had a very good life together.

Plants
Plants
My beans are 30cm tall, they are growing beans that are at least 2cm long. If you are wondering how I look after my beans so they don't die or snap I tie a piece of string to a stick for it to hold it from blowing over, and I give it at least 2 cups of water (from the tap) to keep it healthy and strong and that will keep it going for 2 and a half days so if you have any sort of plants except for plants that live in water look after it and keep it strong and healthy and don't let your parents cut down any trees.

HanmerSprings
HanmerSprings
In HanmerSprings it was a hot burning sunny day. My Nana drove my family to a side of a scary looking clift but if but if you look up you can see lots of mountains it was so cool I could see snow on the mountains. We got in the clean shine car and drove to HanmerSprings my Pop brought a house for as to stay for 1 week when we got there it was my Mums and Uncles birthday party my fun looking Uncle was turning 27 and my Mum was turning 27 too. My fun looking uncle said we can go to the pools and when we got to the pools it was amazing because there was a big boiling ring. In the big boiling ring there was lots of sparking water. On my fourth day in HanmerSprings i went in a terrifying scary looking maze it has words to find in it.It had a waterfall in it and at the end of the maze my stepdad gave me his chocolate coin because he could not eat chocolate so I ate it up. It was the best day in HanmerSprings.

How light affects plant growth
In room1 this term we have been focusing on how plants grow or how light affects plant growth.
All plants need water, food, light and warmth to grow if a plant doesn't have all these things it will die.A plant needs chlorophll so that it can grow big and have a nice green colour and can be a very tall plant.the plant will need. Lot's of energy to be a very big bean tree.
If a plant doesn't have light it won't grow and wont get any food or water from the root all the way to plant and won't be able to get any energy so then it will die straight away.If the plant has no light it wont be able to change to any colours.
Plants can't grow in the dark because if a plant has no light or energy it will not grow and it will die.
If a plant has no light or energy it won't change colours. The most common colours for a plant to change to is dark green and light green.
Plants grow all around the world in many different climates but none can grow without light.
By Regan.
Aaron's Explanation
How Light Affects Plant Growth?
A plant needs water, nutrients, light and warmth to grow. If the plant doesn't have these things it will die.
If a plant has light and a little bit of warmth it will grow like a normal plant would. When the plant is green it means the sun has been shining on it causing it to make chlorophyll. All plants have water and light will stay healthy and grow bigger and bigger.
Plants that don't have any light will go pale and the leaves will start to go brown and die. The roots won't be able to suck up any nutrients or water to the plant. With no light the plant will droop because it has no energy to stay up straight. The root will flop over and the plant won't have any support holding it up.
Some plants can grow in the dark. To test to see if plants can grow in the dark. The plants will need the same amount of water so then it is a fair test. After a while the plant will go pale because it hasn't had any light to photosynthesis. Plants can survive for a little bit because the production that harmones is stimulated by the dark which makes suppressed light.
Finally the rest of the plant will start to fade out because of no sunlight, chlorophyll or nutrients. The colour will be an orangey brownish. All the other parts will have no strength and start to rot.
Plants grow every where and many different places. They grow in all conditions like hot weather or cold. No plants can grow without light.

How plants grow
Plants are living things, there are more then 100 types and they are known all over the world.
Seeds may look dead when people plant them, but they aren't. There just getting ready to germination. germination means "begins to grow." Plants suck up water, the water is taken in, then the seed starts to swell bigger and bigger until the seed coat cracks, air then can get to the seed. Flowers also burn food, burning food produces energy for the flower. The seed also has a seed coat.
Plants grow by water. Water Carry's nutrients which is used to make there food. Flowers make there own food using nutrients and carbon dioxide. Roots suck water up through the stem into the leaves, shoots or flowers. If a flower gets to much water it sucks it up and turns it into vapour. Two things that plants needs to grow is photosynthesis and respiration. They also make food for the plant.
People can plant seeds indoors and outdoors. Some vege don't like to be transplanted. Transplanted means "to move it to one place to another."
People like to plant plants, vege or fruit because it saves money, it's fun to do and it's fun to see what they'll form into.
Plants, vege and fruit are important to the world because they provide oxygen and food for animals and people.
