My Holiday

After term three it was time for the two week holiday. My cousins came over and we had an awesome play together.

I woke up around 12 pm. That's probably because I went to sleep around 1 am. I was to busy watching "The 100". It's this amazing program on Netflix. It's about how people from the ark  (A space ship from space) are delegated down to earth specifically 300. They have to find out if the ground/ earth is survivable. Especially after bombs and what it looked like a War!

Until they discover they are not the only survivors. Dangerous Grounders and strange Mountain Men survived and started a war! Not to mention the terrifying Reapers.



Moments later my cousins from my mum's side came to my nana's house. That's where Pupuke, Sosefina, Mary Grace and I were. I saw my aunty and my cousins Shelly, TJ, JT, Chelsea and Taishell.  Normally when I see any family there's that same weird silence, although the parents just talk, Well that's exactly what happened. I was to shy to talk to them  and they were to shy to talk to me.



Around 30 minutes later, my cousins all went to my brother Pupuke. I'm guessing they got tired of their mum's conversation. I decided to go in the room. Distinctively my nana's room. All I heard was, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!. They were all acting fancy and speaking in a British accent. Taishell kept on saying "Her weave got snatched." I had no clue what that had meant and to be honest. DON'T WANNA KNOW!



Hanging out with my cousins was pretty cool! I'm not gonna lie. We had lots of laughs and some awkward silence. As long as I spent a lovely time with them.

A Time I Worked Extremely Hard To Achieve Something

This was the day when I worked incredibly hard to achieve being first in athletics. This was athletic day, one of the most nervous days that I could ever imagine. Plus cross country, speeches and poems. Obviously I was at school and feeling as apprehensive as I have ever been in a long time. We had to go in separate lines, like year 5 girls in one line and year 5 boys in another line.

P1
The girls had to go first. We had to line up behind the year 4's. There were a bunch of columns that just goes straight a head. I think there was about 7, but I'm not sure. Anyway's we lined up and we had to crouch down, just like how any other athletic athlete would. Then Mrs. Pederson stood on the sideline, she was one of the teachers that counted and said GO! So there we were, getting ready to go and suddenly out of the blue...

P2
"Go"Mrs Pederson, shouted. To be honest, it almost gave me a fright. Obviously at this point I was pretty scared at this point. The thing is normally when I'm scared I run anyways so that was actually great. So all of the girls and I start running as fast as we can. On all the races except for this one I always looked at the side of me. I'm absolutely confident that, by looking to the side it distracts me. So on the other races I came second but this race gets better. Just keep reading and you'll find out.

P3
So the girls and I were sprinting, and on this race I didn't look to the sides. I just kept on looking straight ahead as I ran. During the race I don't even remember thinking about how nervous I was. I just kept saying to myself you can do this. Then little did I know I actually came first, in this race. At the end I was given the little stick that said first place. I was so proud of myself!

Conclusion
I think I did a pretty awesome job! I really enjoyed myself, besides feeling nervous, of course!!

Recount- At The Pump-house

Introduction
First we had to give our permission slips, to go to the pump-house first. Then we went on a protracted bus ride to go to Takapuna, which is where the pump-house is. My class, other classes and I all went. We went yesterday, Tuesday the third of July.

Travel
As you might know all of us went on a bus. There were about 46 children. To be honest every single time we go on a bus, all I can hear is screaming! It was so loud, when I was whispering to Leanah, I couldn't even hear my self. All I could hear was screaming and talking. In the bus you would sit next to a buddy. On our way to the pump-house, I sat next to Grace which is a girl in room 5. Then on our way back I sat next to Sonny which is my friend in my class.

Show
The first show was called The Great White Man Eating Shark, it was out standing. I would love to see it again. The only thing is that I was very uncomfortable sitting on the chair. I folded my legs but I was still uncomfortable. I really liked how they used expression, and how they remembered all their lines. Also how they were very brave, if I was on that stage I would probably forget my lines and be shaking at the same time. One of the reasons are because I'm extremely shy and quiet. There were two more plays that they did and it was called, The Boy With Two Shadows and The Boy That Was Followed Home. I enjoyed all of them and thought that it was amazing.

Actors
At the end of the show we went outside and met all the actors.

TOITOI Writing

Plan-
1- Groups
2- Books
3- Stories
Conclusion-
Thoughts, Feelings, Lasted Longer
Who, What, When, Where, Why

Introduction-
On Monday the 7th of May, after fitness we went into room 11.  Room 9 and 10 went inside because ToiToi was visiting to celebrate Konzay's published writing.

(Groups)
It all started with us walking into room 11, we sat down and remained there for quite a while. Shortly Konzay, Mrs. Vickers and the PWC community soon came in. Then we split into groups of 7, 6 5 and 4. My teacher Miss Misela and Mrs. Riley did their calculations then they split us into groups. I was with Frank, Nurul, Jason and more people. One person from PWC came to come and read with us. I don't remember her name, but she had a raspy voice and dark brown hair.

(Books)
Miss Misela gave me a pile of ToiToi books. I gave each and every one a book. At first I was really shy and so was everybody else in my group. We could pick any story we wanted too, that's what the lady said. Nobody in our group picked one so she did. She picked Konzay's writing, My Friend Dominic.

(Reading)
When we were reading we picked so many books. My favourite is probably The Abandoned House. The story was about this four story house, that was in the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded by a miniature black fence, with a gate at the front. It looked very decrepit and rusty, the house was painted in a very light grey. There was nobody inside, a family went by, and went to go look inside...

(Conclusion)
I really enjoyed all the stories, but I wished that it could have at least lasted 15 more minutes. That is because I wanted to read all the stories, that I didn't read. At the same time though I also wanted to do reading in class, also to do activities. Either way I really relished, or loved it very much.

The Movie That Changed My Life ( Recount)

(Introduction)
On the 28th of April we went to the movies. My sister Sosefina, my auntie and I went. We went because we have been cleaning, so that was our prize.

(Getting Food)
We went to Sylvia Park and went down to the food court. There was so many options, there was so much food that I smelt. My sister and I could have  picked anything, but in the end we picked Mc Donald's. I ordered a Filet'O fish burger, fries and a small Fanta. Sosefina and I ordered the same thing. My auntie had a chicken burger, fries and a drink from Burger King. We sat down and ate then we went into the movies.

(Picking The Movie)
We went in line, and we stood there for quite a while. About five  minutes later, it was our turn to get our tickets. My sister and I wanted to go play games, but we had to choose the movie so we couldn't. We had two choices, A Wrinkle In Time or Avengers Infinity War. My sister picked A Wrinkle In Time, so I went with it.

(Watching The Movie)
We brang our drinks into the theatre, because we already ate. We gave our tickets to this lady, she ripped it in half and gave it back. She told us which cinema we had to go in, that cinema was number 1. The movie started with memories of the girl, I don't remember her name but she was the main character. There was memories of her and her dad. Her dad was so desperate to shake hands with the universe, he was making unbelievable discoveries. One day he made a presentation, he showed and spoke about space, time and the stars. The people in the crowd did not believe him they thought he was joking, but nor we wasn't. They laughed and laughed at him as if he told the most hilarious joke. Her dad got lost, and the daughter went on an adventure to go find him. The daughter always thought about him, she started having anxiety and trust issues, but soon she stopped.

(Conclusion)
I really wish that, we went to the pools and had a good swim. The movie was really sad, but it also made me quite angry. She keeps on holding back on things she's scared of, but mostly the things she wants to do. For example, to save her dad,  she kept on hesitating if she really wanted to do it, but kept on being afraid.

The Time I Became An Author!

Last week on a Friday, Wednesday or Thursday room nine went to the library because my teacher Miss Riley had some release time for herself. We had to take our library book to the library book to change it or return it. Once we had got our library books we went to room four. Everyone else was there, but I was one of the last people to get out of the library. When I arrived my class and room ten were just playing games so I joined in as well. Mrs. Vickers my principal, soon told us to pack up the games and sit nicely on the mat. Mrs. Vickers said for me to stand up because I was going to be an author! Mrs. Vickers said that there is a permission slip that my parents need to sign. My piece of writing was about my holidays at the beginning of this year. This is it right here.

Hi and welcome to my recount about my holiday. I will be telling you one thing that made me smile, two things that I felt and lastly what I smelt. I am going to talk about the first week of the holidays on Sunday. Also where I went.

So firstly my uncle and my auntie said that we had to get up and get ready. They said that because we were going to a restaurant, a chinese restaurant. So when we were ready we went by transport which was a car. When we arrived we found a table and ordered what we wanted. I chose a kid lunch special. We went to a restaurant called Daikoku. We had to wait for our food but it was worth it.

Once the waiter was done with our food we ate and ate and ate. For the first course we got  delicious soup and some rice while we were waiting ,for dessert we had delicious ice cream. We also had prawns that were in yum yum sauce, it was yummy. That’s what made me smile, the food that we ate. When I saw what we were going to have my mouth was already watering. Luckily we ate because my stomach was growling.

What I smelt was mostly food because we were at a restaurant, so that was the main thing that  I smelt when I was there. I also smelt the burning fire and smoke when I first walked in. At first I blocked my nose but then I got use to it, so I stopped.

The two things that I felt was the heat of the fire lightly go on my cheek, and also the warmness on my whole face and hands. I also felt just a little bit hot because I had my jacket on so yeah. The second thing that I felt was the texture of the food and how soft it was. Also, when it was in my mouth I could taste and feel the hotness and the warmness. It was really hot sort of!

My conclusion - At the end of the day we just relaxed and watched t.v., also we had a very sore stomach, the next day. So we had a good day but then we all had a sore stomach so then it ended. From Kotipi

My Holidays

Kia Ora, and today I am writing a recount about my term two holidays. I will be focusing on past tense while I am writing. I will explain what I did in my holiday.

One thing or activity that I did was go on my tablet and play some games. Some  of the games that I played was Temple run, don’t tap the white tiles and cookie jam. I also watched some videos as well and just listened to some music. It was very relaxing and fun to just sit down, and play games and watch videos.

Another activity that I did was watching movies on Netflix. One movie that I watched was Jack And The Giant Slayer. The movie was about a boy named Jack, and a princess named Isabell or Isabella. They met each other when they were in a bar or some sort and Jack defended her. Men and people were pushing her over and to Jack that was not very nice.

In conclusion, now you know about my holiday and what I did in the holiday.
