Home fun and learning

This weekend was the beginning of the 2020 duck shooting season, and I went duck shooting with Sista and Nikau. We left home at 6 in the morning. It was fun, I was on the lookout for the ducks. We only got 2 Parrys but it was fun watching the dogs fetch the ducks off the lake.
Then when I got home I did my reading for 100 nights. I am reading Weirdo 3. It is a good book, and Gypsy keeps me company while I read.

 

Building Dixie a home

Nikau and dad made Dixie a cage to sleep in. She goes out there at night after we've had a play with her. We have to put blankets around her cage she sleeps in to keep her warm. She also sleeps in a beanie wrapped in a towel. We put her food in there, and she has sticks she can run up and down on. Our dog Gypsy watches so curiously.

 

 

 

Burning our big fire

My dad has been cleaning our oyster farm and bringing home all the old rotten rails and baskets we don't need anymore, and he's been putting them in a big pile to burn one day.  
My mum had a big clean out at home over the 'lockdown', and she had lot's to burn too, so me, Nikau and Teina put it all down on the fire pile too.  And today, my dad and Nikau lit the fire!  It was massive. Some people drove past and took photos it was so big. It burnt really quickly. While I was watching it burn I felt warm.

 

Possum Update

Our possum is growing well. He gets fed all the time, and we even leave kai in a container in his cage when we go to bed. He comes out and plays, he's getting used to us now, but he eats mums plants. Uh oh...

 

 

 

 

Ode of Remembrance - An Anzac Tribute

One of our Topic tasks was to video ourselves reciting the Ode of Remembrance for Anzac Day.

We hear it cited at the beginning of the service when we honour the fallen Anzac soldiers at the Anzac Dawn Parade.

It is also on plaques at Anzac monuments, and can be read by people when they go and see it.

Riding in the Forest

Today me and my family went out for a ride in the Waipap forest out my Ninety Mile. We rode there on our bikes. It was cool fun. We went up the beach and then came back through the forest. We stopped and saw Harry on the way home. Then we went into Pak n Save, and me and Nikau got McDonald's for dinner. It was so good because I haven't had it since March.
