Camp Aratika

Whoopee! I am so excited.Already it's camp on Wednesday 18Th of March.On the first day of camp we had camp cooking.Mm as I could smell some delicious food that we were going to cook at camp,I could also feel the fire coming towards me.Plus I could see smoke going towards me and when I reached there it was right in my direction where I was about to walk.

Then we sat on the log and Whaiawawen told us how to cook damper if you don't know what damper is, well it's got doe mixed with water then raisin and flour to keep it dry.

So then we went to go and get a bamboo stick and our damper.when you've done that you roll the damper and make it into a sausage and then wrap it around your stick,then and make sure it's stickied on probably.Then you find a spot and sit down next to the fire and hold it on top until it's golden brown,then check if it's ready then you can eat it.Yummy!

Being Put In Extension

Wow! As I heard yesterday in the afternoon at 2;05pm at school from Mrs Lagitupu that Paulitia,me and moses were in the Extension group. I was so happy for me paulitia and moses that we were going to be in Extension group. But that means to do my best and work hard in school.

I feel a little nervous because it's my first day tomorrow which is today.Hopefully I do well and try not to get distracted and concentrate on my work.I am a little excited because I thought that I wouldn't make it in the group but actually I did.

When I told my mum about the news she was so happy for me and said that I need to read heaps of books and understand what the word's means.She is also going to ask me questions about the book,check up on me and see if I know what the book is about.

picnic

First we marked the roll then we went to the hall to see if we had everything we needed like parent helpers,hats and lunch.

When we finished we walked together as a school down to our reserve. Mr Burt lead the way to the reserve and Rooms 17 and 18 were behind him. I could also hear some boys singing. It was Beni, Kalim, Sam and Trey. People were running trying to catch up and people were chatting to their next door neighbours. Finally we reached their we sat down and listened to Mr Burt tell us the instructions.

Then we set of to find a space to put all of stuff.We found a nice place in the shade.We sat down and me and my friends started to eat dunkin donuts.It was DELICIOUS!

When we finished we had a rest then went to go and play. First we played handstands then soccer then cricket and heaps more.I was so hot that I needed a drink then I went back and kept on playing I was so tired.

Then I heard that there was going to be kareoke.So I looked over and saw some people singing it was so cool and some people were shy like me and my friends to go up and sing,so we just carried on playing soccer with each other.

Then we all had to go back to our classes line up, make sure the reserve was tidy and meet up.We all sat together and prayed for this wonderful day we had and that it didn't rain and got cancelled.What a fun day we had and off we went back to school and went home with our families.

Australia

Wow! as my sister looked at all the delicious food.In the holidays I went to Australia with my mum and my sister to visit my grandma.

We left on boxing day at 6;00 and arrived there at Australia at 9;00 pm.

It was so fancy because the plane that we went on was Emirates.Those were the planes with the screen on the back of the seat.

Plus when we had lift of and left New Zealand,the screen turned on and you could listen to music and even watch some movies.

Then we got served some food.I had chicken with mash potatoes,peas,carrots,juice with ice,cheese with crackers and dark chocolate.

Then we arrived at Australia.We had to walk a long way.Finally we got out.I saw my uncle.

It was a 40 minutes minute drive to get to their house.Then we got our luggage and went inside.I heard two dogs barking.They kept on following me around wherever I went.

I asked what their names were.It was luda and Georgy two Chihuahua's.They also have a two story house with 6 bedrooms,5 pets,2 bathrooms and a family pool.They also took us to the movies to watch Twilight.Then I went to sleep and got ready for the next day.

Holiday in Australia

SPLASH! As my cousin stomped his little feet into the water. In Australia my cousin, my sister, my auntie and her son all went to Wet'n Wild. Its like a water theme park. It was 10:00 in the morning and 34 degrees Celsius. We travelled by a golden Holden. My body was hot like a burnt toast that had just came out of the toaster. When we got there I saw a line of family's waiting in the hot sun. It was so packed that the line was up to the car park. Then we quickly ran and the line moved faster. Then we were in and saw all these water slides. We were so excited.

But there was a problem. We couldn't find a spot to put all our stuff, but we did find a nice shade where the kids pool was. It was so beautiful and fun. When we went in the water it was so see through and shiny. Then when I touched it it was so cold. So I ran quickly into the pool and it was so shallow. Then I saw there was a big playground with all these slides.

I felt like I was a kid again with all these little slides and kids surrounding it. Then I was walking towards the slide but suddenly there was a pile of water that hit me. It felt so so
smooth.

Then I went to this pool called the wave pool. I could see all these numbers saying how deep or shallow the pool was like this 2.5 or 4.1. I went in and walked down to where I could see the water up to my shoulders. I heard music and I could hear people saying that the waves were coming. I looked in front and the water were turning into waves, it was so cool. The waves got closer and I was jumping up and down like I was jumping on a trampoline. I went further on and I could touch the ground on the deep end. Then it stopped and it went onto the normal water.

I had such an awesome time.

Go For Green Film Festival

It was dark all the doors shut everybody was silent.Only two lights shining on the stage they were both green lights.Only one voice I could hear and that voice was Mr Burt's.He was walking down the aisle with a microphone. Then he introduced us to the three judges Mr Burt, Mr Jacobson and last of all Mr Munick. Our whole entire school were making movies for our Film Festival on Friday the 4th of December.
