Homework
















//Thanks for your informative posts, Brittany - love to see that burglar alarm! Ms H//
= = =__**How hedgehogs got their spikes**__= Long, long ago in a far away land, a tiny hedgehog named Argo ruled the farm. One day he set off to the woods. He came across many things like geckos and lizards but they were all too fast for him to catch. He couldn’t help but notice an old slow rabbit. Argo leapt forward to grab it but his arms were too short and it got away. He knew all the animals on the farm would be disappointed in him. It was getting dark so he had no choice but to go back home empty handed.
 * //Thank you for your 'Music of the Spheres' homework - great songs! It was interesting to read what your family think about why people write 'celestial' songs.//**

The next day Argo went down to the woods again but this time he saw a pukeko chewing on a worm. He walked further into the dark damp woods and saw not just one, but four rabbits munching on the grass. Argo slowly crept up behind the rabbits. Their noses started to twitch and then suddenly they bolted off. Argo still had no food. He slowly and sadly with his head down, started to walk back home. “Could this day get any worse?” he asked himself.

At that moment he felt a drop of water fall on his head. He looked up and there was a million raindrops heading straight towards him. Argo started to run but had no shelter. In front of him was a huge cactus. He had no choice but to jump over it. He closed his eyes and sprung off his feet. Just as he thought he would make it, his little legs gave way and he plunged right into the cactus. The spikes stuck to his back like sticky chewing gum on a shoe. To this day you will never see a hedgehog without a cactus on his back.
