A&P Show
The unforgettable Thursday last week the whole class rode to the A&P Show with a school bus. Once we arrived at the A&P Show we were all split up to a group I was picked to go on Dylan’s mum, it was me, Tevita, Beau, Dylan and of course Dylan’s mum.
While we were walking around we got to see plenty of animal that we could pat, the animal that I really found interesting was the horses. I liked them because they were gigantic, they were as huge like the school roof. I also liked them because of their funny haircuts, some had mohawk hair.
You should definitely go to the A&P Show because you will be able to see lots of animals like lambs, funny goats, lazy pigs, gigantic horses and the sheeps that is as fluffy like the clouds. There will be also some free amazing stuff that you can get but some you will have to work hard for. There will also be some yummy food that will be sold beside the walk path,but you can only buy those yummy foods if you have some money.
But you can get a free yummy smoothie that you can also make yourself. Making your smoothie yourself is fun because you will be able to use like a bike that makes the smoothie. This is why I think you should definitely go to the A&P show because there are so many things that you can do.

The nest of a Wigram Falcon is about 50cm big and made from leaves and branches. The size of the nest allows for three of their 15cm eggs to rest comfortably.
Diet
The Wigram Falcon’s uses their strong curved beak to eat small birds like sparrows. The Wigram Falcons curved beak helps them tear the flesh of their prey. Sometimes The Wigram Falcon eats large birds like other type of falcons and hawks.
The Wigram Falcon eats 35 pounds of meat a day. 35 pounds of meat are 5 to 6 large birds or 40 to 45 small birds.
The Wigram Falcon flies through the sky and chases birds to eat. The Wigram Falcon also dives on other birds, it stretches it wings at the back and uses its long sharp talon to stab their prey. But sometimes Wigram Falcons blend in a tree and wait for other birds for them to dive and eat.
A baby Wigram Falcon finds and eats small insects such as beetles.

There are a few threats to the Wigram Falcon. Other birds fly to a Wigram Falcons nest and destroy and eat their eggs. Other types of falcons destroys and eats their eggs. Sometimes people destroy their nest when their trees have been cut down for woods or building a new house.

Possums are also one of the Wigram Falcons predators. Possums climb up to a Wigram Falcons tree and sneak down and eat a Wigram Falcons eggs.
Pollution also threatens the Wigram Falcon like plastic, because the Wigram Falcon will try to eat what they see on the ground. They think the plastic is meat. The number of Wigram Falcon has been dropping quickly because of the pollution that humans are causing.
To help the Wigram Falcon we must not throw rubbish anywhere near the Wigram Falcons trees even in other places.

Hilarious poem
Hilarious
Rectangle had green things from
his nose, a big mouth and ears
Shining blue sparkling soft squishy eyes
Smells of fried chicken comes out of his breath
Wiggles like he’s boneless, runs like the wind
he feels as soft as a warm squishy pillow
Carries a suitcase full of ugly facemasks
And makes people into stone
\\he talks like a roaring dinosaur and roars “ Want to hear a joke about a piece of paper? Never mind it's tearable.”
