From the chapters 12-15 of the Roald Dahl book The Twits, it tells how Mr Twit's prank backfires and what their house and backyard looks like. 

Mr Twit was waiting for birds to sit on the tree so he can have bird pie. While Mr Twit is waiting the monkeys are trying to warn the birds so they don't get cooked. The problem was the birds couldn't understand them because the monkeys speak a different language.

The monkeys thought the birds are going to get eaten and that's when they saw their friend the Roly-Poly bird flew down. The monkeys asked him if he can warn the birds so the Roly-Poly bird went around warning the birds. When Mr Twit cam out he saw all the birds were on the monkey cage instead of the tree.

Fractions practise

A fraction is a whole thing divided into equal pieces.

A half looks like a whole thing cut into two equal pieces. A third looks like a whole thing cut into 3 equal pieces. Quarters are a whole thing cut into 4 equal pieces.

 

For some examples of fractions look at this slide show.

Maori

 For Maori we translated Maori names to English names.

First we translated Maori names like Hera. Hera is a girl name, in English Hera means Sarah.

Another name but a boys name is Hare. Hare means Harry. A lot of them sound like the English name.

Next me Josh, Lance, Koura-beau, Marawan, Paul. We played Matau and Maui with the Rakau. if she says Maui you go left, if she says Matau you go right.

I like these words because my cousins name is Jacob

Duffy performance

 We watched a performance by duff theater group about the Coggon. A Coggon is a mythical creature that is a mixture be tween a Cat, Dog, and Chicken.

Before we watched the show the actors introduced them selves. Then we sang the Duffy song. Then the actors preformed for us.

Lastly the Duffy group held a question and answer session.

I thought the Duffy song was my favorite because I haven't sang this song in a long time.

From the chapter 12-15 a Roald Dahl book it tells how Mr Twit's prank backfires and what their house and backyard looks like. 

Mr Twit thought his prank would go well but it didn't. Mrs Twit decided to chew through the balloon strings so she would float down. This solution worked but when she landed she was fuming at Mr Twit because of his prank. 

Mr and Mrs Twit have a horrible house. When they built it they agreed to have no windows on this silly house. With the old looking garden it makes there house look silly that why there called the twits.

I like this book because the way they act and play pranks on each other. I also think more people should read this book.
