HOLIDAYS

Hi my name is Elizabeth and I would like to talk about Halloween in America.

The different thing about America and New Zealand is that America is bigger than New Zealand. When you are celebrating Halloween here in New Zealand you do not get as much candy as in America. In America you carve your own pumpkins and they have very big, humongous pumpkins. When you are in New Zealand you never get big, humongous pumpkins like America.

When America is celebrating Halloween they also have big parties with family or with work. 
 
When you are in New Zealand we don't have that many parties for Halloween. Sometimes if you have parties some people do not turn up or they would be sick and that is what makes the parties boring.

Descriptive Writing Practise

We were practising how to describe something. What do you think of the story we made up about kiwis?

The NZ Kiwi

Kiwis have dark brown fur. 
They have two little beady black eyes. 
The kiwi has a long pointy beak like Pinocchio. 
Its small furry wings sit right beneath their necks. 
They have little wings like little baby chickens.
No matter how hard they flap their wings they can't fly!
