On my holiday I learned that the tuatara is a carnivorous animal, meaning that the tuatara only eats other animals in order to survive. The tuatara primarily preys on insects, beetles, spiders, birds eggs, frogs, small reptiles and mammals. It surprised me how hard poems can be e.g the harder the words you chose, the harder the rhyming will be. My favourite thing, I did was learn to about Rutherford because it was interesting finding facts about him. I had no dislikes on my journey so, it was rather successful.

After along journey over the sea, the sight of this land brings joy to me. we really want something to eat and there are birds by the dozen at our feat. I wonder if they are a juicy morsel or are they going terribly awful. now as we think about our future ahead, we look at each other with a feeling of dread. As we look all around, there is much to be found.The seashore has bounty galore, the forest will give us shelter and more. As we step from the boat I feel overwhelming hope.

I stand there in fear not knowing what to do, I run around on the stony track. Then I say to myself  stay still they will come back. So I lean against the tree and have a look around me first I see a giant beautiful pohutukawa a NZ native. Also a baby koru, the beginning of life a truly great symbol and another NZ native. I realize  all the planets here are a NZ native. there is flax, silver fern, fern, tawa trees, pohutukawa, koru. Suddenly I hear gravel getting crushed I instantly look down the track and see the group and the curious kiwi. I run to them excited about seeing them again and about being safe.

Only males are allowed to ascend to chiefdom in a Maori tribe in New Zealand. This ancient custom is upset when the child selected to be the next chief dies at birth. However his twin sister, Pai, survives. At age 12, she enlists the help of her grandmother  and the training of her uncle to claim her birthright. But to break with convention, she'll have to do the impossible: win over her ultra-traditional grandfather.
