Yesterday there was a Harley -Davidson motor-bike rally and about 80 bikes came whizzing past our drive-way. It was a sunny day and their paint jobs looked awesome. In the middle of the group there was a Triumph. All of them tooted and waved to all of us. Our family sat on our neigbour's fence with him. Len is a keen motorbike man, and so are Grandad and my Dad.
If you don't know what a HOG is, it the name for the "Harley -Davidson Owners Group"

Dairy Products

Dairy Products are food made from milk. Cows eat grass to make milk. The grass travels throughout the bloodstream and into the udder. Some people in the country still do hand milking. Machine milking is much easier. It takes only five minutes.
First the farmer puts the suction cups on the teats, and then the machine sucks the milk from the udder. It only takes about five minutes to suck the milk out of the udder.
The tanker trucks take the milk to the factory. The tankers insulate the milk to keep it cool. Once the milk is in the factory they pasteurize the milk. That means that they quickly heat it, then quickly cool it. They do that to kill germs and bacteria. Dairy products are, cream, milk, cheese, butter, ice-cream, and yoghurt. These things get processed.
Dairy products are one of the main things produced in New Zealand.

Ahhh! It’s shaking. Go, go, go.
On Saturday 4th of September in Christchurch there was an earthquake that was a scale 7.1 on the Richter scale! Man that would be scary ! Most pipes were broken. More than 100 000 buildings are damaged and 350 fell down. So far there have been 158 aftershocks. The biggest aftershock is 5.8 on the Richter scale. So far there have been no deaths, two serious injuries and lots of cuts and broken bones.
The engineers put stickers on buildings. Children are jumping in the cracks in the road. I think that is bad.
One university student set up a Facebook page and got heaps of university students to clean the mud and sand on the ground.

 New Zealand is a small island country in the south Pacific Ocean.
New Zealand is made of two main islands and many small islands. Lake Taupo is a volcano and a lake. The Southern Alps is heaps of mountains. The biggest mountain is Mount Cook. Going to the North Island the Waikato River is the biggest in NZ (New Zealand).
New Zealand is one of the biggest dairy farming countries. We also get money from crops and tourists (visitors) plus wool, meat and L &P.
Our sports are cricket, rugby (our team is the All Blacks), soccer (our team is the All Whites), netball and watersports at beaches, lakes and rivers. The World Rowing Championships 2010 will be held in New Zealand!
We have no native mammals except bats. But we have lots of native birds. Many don’t fly. Our national bird is the kiwi plus our people are called that too (no, we are not birds).
Our population is 4 million. One in four people live in Auckland (our biggest city). Most of our people live in towns or cities. Our capital city is Wellington.
Although New Zealand is a small country it has a lot of variety with its plants, birds, landscape and people.

spy agent

Once upon a time there was a girl called Isabella. She had a secret life as a spy. One day she was playing in the park when her spy pad beeped. A spy pad is a gadget that is 1000 gadgets in one cool machine. It had a mission:
Alert – for the Eyes of Isabella
100 000 000 000 has been stolen
from the Guatemala Bank.
So Isabella picked up her robot dog with laser eyes and ran to her spy vehicle. She flew to Guatemala and got to the bank. The bank is half destroyed. She runs and she finds the robber and tries to catch him. But he runs. After 10 minutes she catches him. The mission is solved, or is it?
The next day he broke out of prison and came back to her with a tranquilizer and shot her. Ten hours passed and she woke up. She managed handcuff him 20 minutes later. He was found in the bank vault next door. He was trying to rob the bank but Isabella caught him. She saw him as she ran past.
Then the mission is history.

We saw the Pig Goose .. it looks like a goose, but sounds like a pig!! I gave it some pellets and it snapped my finger as well!!

Our family went to Waitete Bay. It is north of Coromandel. We had 2 days of gales and storms, but still Dad, Mac and I went down to the beach in the worst possible weather. Mac went swimming until he was purple!! The rest was sunny and we loved it. We hit stones with wood . We picked up bags of rubbish too. We found giant oyster fossils in the rocks and I found one the size of my thumb nail. It was on a loose rock and I took it home. We had yummy fish and chips at Barbara's house.

Last week we made feeders for the birds to have during winter.
If you want to made one, what you need is:
fat
bird seed
raisins
a mesh bag
What to do:
melt the fat and add seed and raisins
put mesh bag inside a container and pour in the fat.
When it has set, tie off the bag and hang it in a tree out of reach of cats.

ZOO

On Saturday my family went to the Hamilton Zoo.
A cappachin monkey came right up to the glass and showed us his teeth, and then poked out his tongue. I think it was a friendly gesture ..... he looked like he was smiling.
The Sumatran tiger was 3m away from the glass, sleeping in the sun. I have never seen him that close before, he usually hides.
My favourite animals are monkeys.
