She had keen eyes alight with mischievous youth and she bit her cracked lips, that were furling around gums where teeth once stood. Also, she had rich indigo velvet, folded carefully to frame her face.

Mack The Pig
As the midday sun rose high over the farm Mack the pig,
settled into his eleventh mud-wallow. Life was good for Mack. His rosy pink snout twitched as he sniffed some scraps. He had small eyes that were very sharp and inquisitive. He was nosy by nature that he wanted to know all the things that were going around him.

Fonterra milk for schools is a programme for schools. Children get milk every day at schools. Each week a milk truck comes to school with boxes of milk. The milk monitors bring the box to their classroom. Every student gets a carton of milk to drink. Once you have drunk it dry you need to fold it up and put it in the recycling bin.
The first reason why milk is important to drink is it makes you hydrated.
The second reason why milks important is it makes your bones strong.
On friday we had purple cake day we did bunting and made bands. Ajanis mum came to do the face paint. I got a mustache and it was time to eat chocolate ball and chips jelly and cup cakes it was divine.
My best thing was face painting. When Noah got his face painted he looked like he got hurt in the eye. I took some photos of Noah, Ajani, Ben Kerstein. They look awesome.
