Huge Avocados!

In Australia, people found huge avocados! They named them Avozilla! They are 4x bigger than regular avocados. They have a more buttery taste the the smaller varieties and they weigh 1.2kg. In New Zealand one store sold them for $13 each!

Nga Atua is a really lovely book about the Maori gods. It includes Tane, Hine-te-iwaiwa (The God of Women), (Tangaroa) The sea, (Mahuika) fire and many others. It is a really interesting book, I recommend reading this book because you will definitely learn a lot from this, it has stories about how Maui caught the huge fish, and many more. I think Nga Atua  is an easy and beautiful introduction to Maori gods for readers of all ages.

Schools

Check out the new book in the library called Schools. It's a great book because it will show you all the types of schools. Did you know that the biggest school in the world has more than 47,000 students! and over 1,000 classrooms!? That school would be massive! All these different schools have lots of different things and they teach things like science, building, medical stuff and more! I think this would be a good book to read and look at for year 2's and up.
