One dark gloomy night, inside a polished stoney cave there lived a lesser short-tailed bat named Binky.

Binky was at hunting looking for insects and fruit.He spotted an orange and flew over. Little did he know a predator Mr Rapper the rat was hiding behind the fruit ready to pounce on his prey. 

Just as he was about to land on the fruit his ecolocation high squeak warned him that there was a rat.

He sped off back to his cave feeling hungry but safe.

The message in the story is squeak before you eat.

 The insights of a courier driver

Yesterday I was a helper of a courier driver. 

I was very surprised about how many packages are in one bag (26).

Persistence was needed to go through without getting bored. But I still got bored because it takes a long time. It took us about 4 minutes per parcel. Now I really appreciate the work of courier drivers. It is a hard job.

Here is a photo of me and my mountain bike instructor in the pine forest at Muriwai.

He taught me to keep my balance by imagining I am split in half and distribute my weight evenly.

The hardest thing in my mountain bike session was going up a sandy hill, I would keep sliding down once I got close to the top.

 I changed how I did it by walking instead.

I would recommend  this

 activity to anyone who

is adventurous.

My writing with my Aunty

 On a full moon night The clouds started to walk, not any not normal walking but moonwalking . The Sky Tower fell over because of the moonwalking clouds though It isn't normal. It's only happening for two reasons: 1 it's Halloween and two the zombie cheerleader girl . She has farted her way from  America. This is a very cheap way to travel - Fart Express!

Her nose was yellow and teeth were brown.  Her skin was an ominous green and her eyes were black like crows . ZCG was looking for her long lost brother . She thinks he was captured by a yeti on her arduous quest. She accidentally summoned up which it was meant to help her but instead Made life harder with moonwalking clouds causing destruction.

The witch found zombie cheerleader girl while visiting the Sky Tower.She grabbed her and cooked her up in a stew with mint and coriander. The Witch and her three legged three-headed dog had a lovely lunch that day.
