The velevt worm by Waimaria

In the woods at night there will be a velevt worm. It is a scary looking thing.  It can move stealthily with its fat,soft legs. It can prowl its way. It can find its way. The  velevt worm is a good hunter too.

Amber's Weekend

When it was the weekend I was playing hide and seek with my brother. When it was my turn to hide he kept finding me, I sometimes hide under the trampoline but mostly I hide in my closet. Once it was my brother's turn to hide he hid in the bushes and I didn't find him most of the time. When the time was getting late we went inside and watched a movie called John Carter, once the movie finished we went to bed and fell straight asleep. Zzz

the velvet worm

In the dark,spooky forest the velvet worm will be waiting for you but look out if your in the forest at night because the velvet worm might get you with a special weapon.

This slimy creature has soft,stumpy legs and 2 long feelers that helps it to find its dinner!

As the crawling,slimy caterpillar touches its way it tracks down its prey in the dark so its food does not see it. When the velvet worm feels it prey it reacts immediately with twin streams of glue making the poor cricket strangled in a mountain of glue.

Then the caterpillar starts eating its glue before finishing off the bug. The velvet worm rips out everything in the poor crickets body, then starts to hunt for its next meal.

The velvet worm is a unique creature that can shoot twin streams of glue from its 2 nostrils.

I hoped you enjoyed learning about the velvet worm because I know I did.

Judah's Weekend

Hi Mrs Barks. On Friday I went to my sister's rippa rugby game and she played really
well. While the game was on, I played with Olivia in the game room at the Marist Club. It was pouring rain Saturday morning and so my rugby game was cancelled. My mum made me help clean the house and then we went to
see Uncle David at the cemetery. After that we went to see nana and
papa for a family meeting. While the adults were chatting, I trained with Naomi, Hayley and my Aunty Erin
playing netball. On Sunday I relaxed and watched tv and made my
nana a cup of tea.
