Morepork

Morepork

When I touched the morepork it felt ticklish. It had white spots on the mighty morepork. The morepork eats spiders and other big animals like mice. The morepork is brown. The beak is like Sunshine and Snowy’s beak. Its beak is like a triangle spoon to catch big big animals so the morepork doesn't starve to death. It must have slammed into the window.

The Morepork

Today in class we saw a morepork, it had big black wings. It had wonderful white spots. I got to touch the morepork. Nearly all of the people in my class wanted to pat him. I was the first person to pat him because I was at the front of the line. I was whakamā, but when I touch it he was soft. His heart had broken.

The Dead Morepork

Last night a ruru died. It looked cute. It looked like Sunshine and Snowy. It was spotty. It was black, it had white spots on its wings. Its tail and wings were like a fan. I was so sad because it died. It was bigger than a canary and it was a native morepork. It had sharp claws.

Today I saw a magnificent ruru. Haidee held the ruru. Then most of the champion class got to touch it. Then we had to wash our hands. The ruru is pretty and beautiful and very spotty, and lucky last, cute! Oh, wait and its dead. And awesome!

Morepork

Today after morning tea time Haidee brought a magnificent surprise. It was a dead bird, but not any bird it was a New Zealand native bird the marvelous Morepork. I was so surprised. It was stripy and spotty. There were black and white patterns on it. Do you know it was brownie white and a little bit black. When you spread its fluffy feathers it is beautiful. It has a tail that is like a feathery fan. It is actually really sad that it died. We have to look after them so they don’t become extinct. I got a bit whakamā (shy).I got to feel it. It was softer than a cat. Their beaks have a curve on the end to catch their prey. So that is about the morepork that I saw.

The Morepork

My teacher showed us a morepork. I was proud. It was soft with white sports and she was brown as well. It was a lovely morepork and I like looking after animals. It looks like a fan and its wing too. I liked it so much I wished I had one.

After morning tea Haidee showed us a morepork. It was feathery. Its claws can grab his food. His nose was like a rock. If you wanted to pat it, you lined up. I patted it. Its feathers were as soft as rabbit’s ears. They eat white tail spiders.

The Beaky Morepork

I was holding a morepork. I was a little bit whakamā. I was really shocked as well. It was feathery too. Then we all had to wash our hands. We had to describe the morepork and write a description as well. I was sad because it died. But it is in a better place now.

The Mighty Morepork

Today Haidee showed us a morepork. I was whakamā at first. Haidee let the class feel it. It looked like it had spots of white chocolate and patterns of brown chocolate. It looked soft and cute. I didn't pat it because you didn't have too. I am super sad because it was dead.

The Money Morepork

Today at school Haidee our teacher showed us a morepork. It had big talons to grab prey. But sadly it was dead. It was tiny. I’m sad the magnificent magic morepork is dead. The marvellous morepork is spotted all over. The morepork is a native bird only found in New Zealand. Its colours are brown, black and white. It has a little beak. The beak is silvery grey. His beak is beautiful. Its tail is like a fan and his wing feathers are like a spread out big fan. After touching the morepork I washed my hands with soap.

The Morepork Day

Today our class had a morepork. It had huge talons like hamburgers to eat little mice and other birds. It was softer than silk. It was spotty and black and brown. Also fluffy and cute. Its feathers were really long. It had a curved nose. I have seen a dead sparrow. I would really like to see it again.

The Ruru

I like the ruru because I touched the ruru and it was soft to touch because it was fluffy. It had spots on it. I saw the eggs and I touched the feathers and the feathers were soft. The tail was soft too. I saw the legs and the sharp yellow beak. It eats white tails that are poisonous spiders. The eyes were closed like it was asleep but it wasn't asleep it was dead.
