Project Huia - personal responce

This books genre is adventure and science fiction because grandpop Jim, Logan and Ana try to re-create the Huia using cloning technology. It is science fiction because the try to clone a Huia.

In this book...
Damon flew into the gorge. They were trying to find the spot. Suddenly a beam of bright green light hits the pilot in the eyes. If green light was all Damon could see, they would hit the gorge wall and explode. Battling an evil family and a jinx, a family tries to find a body of a Huia...

My favourite part was when they finally, after ages of recording and researching, they SPOILER ALERT find SPOILER ALERT the Huia (That was the spoiler) and find SPOILER ALERT EGGS!!!!!!!

Main stars - bug hunt

Today I went on a bug hunt. It was windy so there was no flying bugs like butterfly's. First me and Billie looked in the plants and tried to find caterpillars slugs and snails. We found some snails and we took a photo of them. Here it is:

 

 

Next we went to find some more bugs. We looked and we didn't find anything. We looked and looked. Then we threw a rock over and there was a dead spider. Here is a picture. The black dot is the spider.

 

 

 

 

Finally we looked under some rocks and we found heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps of SLATERS. They were scurrying all over the rocks and Billie yelled. They were easy to take photos of because there was so many of them. Here is a photo of them.

 



 

These are the bugs I saw today. Usually I see more bugs like white butterfly's, slugs and caterpillars. I think the reason is it was too windy and Mum has put down slug and snail poison.
