Her fur is soft because she is a Saturn rabbit. The color of her eyes are light red like a berry. She is very shy. If there is too much noise she will run like the wind.

Rabbit coming to room 5
On Tuesday my rabbit came to Room 5. Its name is Snowberry. She is a girl that is now twelve weeks old. Her favourite foods are carrot tops, grass, parsley and apple. I feed her every day.

Phone a Friend
Last Thursday a ICT show came to our school, it was called Phone a Friend.
The show was about a boy called Winston who had a stupid phone, there was a mean gadget gang. In the gadget gang there was a girl named Denise but she wanted to be called Dennis. His Mum and Dad sang songs about everything that Winston did. When his phone was struck by lightning it came to life and helped him to stand up to Denise because she was text bullying him.
Winston became popular and then he and Denise finally became friends.

I got a six inch with ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion but there is more than that in it but I can't remember what else was in there.

Interesting Wind Vanes
Last Tuesday Room 5 buddied up and created awesome wind vanes.
We started by getting: one plastic cup, a pencil with a rubber on the end, a square orange piece of card, one straw, a blue piece of card, a pin, one tiny nail, one plate and some clay. First put your plastic cup upside down. Then get some scissors and make it to one blade. Make a hole on the top of your cup and put the pencil with the rubber on in the hole.
With the orange piece of card put N for North, E for East, S for South and finally W for West. Put the pencil through the hole you made with the scissors. You have also got to put a hole in the orange piece of card and slide the orange piece of card down the pencil. With the little nail poke the sharp bit into the middle of the rubber on the top of the pencil. When the nail is standing there measure the straw to see where the middle is. Mark where the middle is and make a hole with the pin where the middle is. With the blue piece of card draw two slightly big arrows and cut them out. Cellotape the arrows on the straw and put the little nail in the hole you made in the straw. Get the plate and put the hole thing in the middle of the plate. Last of all get the clay and roll it in your hands so it is like a wiggly worm and sticks to the plate. Then you have a interesting wind vane!

On Friday my puppy came to Brightwater School. Her name is KC and she is a Boarder-Collie Cross Hunterway. KC is a very playful pup, and so adorable .
Mum walked through the tunnel to our classroom. Room 5 children looked at KC, she caught their eye. Room 5 sat in a good circle and patted her as KC walked around. They also asked me lots of questions about her.

The pilot visit
My dad is a pilot and he came in today to tell us how weather affects his job.
He told us that if there is a rain cloud he either descends or climbs or go around it for a smoother flight. If the runway is icy the pilot must go to a different airport (if Nelson airport is icy he might fly to Blenheim).
On a plane at the cockpit there is a radar and that sends waves to rain clouds and bounces straight back to the plane. When the plane gets ready to land, if there is crosswind (wind going across the runway) the pilot will fly on an angle and then turn back the right way. If the crosswind gets too fast on the runway the pilot will have to also go to a different airport. The normal cruising altitude is around 20,000 to 25,000 feet which is around as high as the clouds are but they are usually lower than that. He tries to avoid wind that can make turbulence.
