We haven't had to use our masks yet but Charlie and I had fun trying them on. Mum said it's probably best not to poke your tongue out over the top, or wear it over your eyes ;)

We went on a bush walk alongside the Tairua River. We found caves (old mine tunnels) and Mum saw some wetas on the walls. The track used to carry horse drawn wagons from the mines to the Golden Hills and Broken Hills Battery sites (late 1800s to early 1900s). My brother and I looked for gem stones. We saw some pipes that looked a bit like big snakes on the forest floor.

My Dad and I made pikelets with cream and jam. I delivered some to my Mum while she was working. I flipped the pikelets over and onto the plate. It was my first time doing the flipping. They were amazing and they were out of the Edmonds My First Cookbook.

"You're probably wondering how my toys come to life when I am not at home.

When I'm not home sometimes my toys get up to mischief. I think they just might have parties. They usually just stay in my room.

But if no-one is home they go into the living room. They are also friends with my dog, Cosmo."

I crept carefully into the basement and realised there was something waiting for me down there. There was a big black snake looking at me. It nearly got me and then my dad was sneaking up behind the snake. Dad grabbed the snake's head and stopped it from getting me. Dad put it in a sack and asked me to go with me. We took it to the forest and put it back with his family.

Elle has fun catching a passionvine hopper and drew this lifecycle diagram. She thought it was hilarious that the nymphs are commonly known as fluffy bums ;)

# data[].attributes.body
Elle was very keen to try the board game family activity. She had to make a few tweaks to her original design as it took too long to get to the end. After a few adjustments it was ready to go. You throw the dice to move along the wiggly track - if you land on a heart you get to move forwards 3 spaces but if you land on a broken heart, you have to go back 3. We played it all together last night and it was great fun. Daddy won and Elle came second.

# data[].attributes.body
Elle wanted to see how tall some of her toys were, so she made her own height chart. Rupert Bunny was taller than Koo Koo Koala. But Ted was the tallest.

# data[].attributes.body
We heard lots of noises on our walk, even a helicopter! There were crickets chirping, dogs barking, leaves rustling in the wind and raindrops on our raincoats. We could hear people talking and their footsteps on the gravel, ducks quacking and a car door slaming. We saw eels in the pond and when they came to the surface they made a sort of kissing noise when they sucked the bread.

I made some poppies to decorate our window for Anzac Day. Our neighbours put lots of big red poppies up around the street and white crosses. We got up really early on Saturday morning. It was still very dark so we took a candle.  We stood with our neighbours and listened to The Last Post. Then we sang the national anthem in Maori and English. My Mum told me her Grandad was shot in the leg in Gallipoli.

Last night I helped Mum make gnocchi for dinner. We put the potato through the sieve and added egg, salt and flour. Mum rolled it into a sausage shape and cut little pillow shapes. When the gnocchi floated up to the top of the boiling water I scooped them out and put them in the tomato sauce with some basil from our garden. It was yummy ;)
