Swimming!

On a beautiful Wednesday morning our class went swimming in our new swimming pool. We all have groups, group A and B. Group A went to swim first. I was in group B, so I didn't know what went on in the pool. Next went my group to the pool but first of all we had to get changed. I did not swim because I did not have any togs but the cool thing was that I was the one that took the photos. Miss Oldfield told me not to wet the camera so I said OK. I walked into the tent it was pretty cool and nice and warm but I got hot very quickly. I think I took some good photos. The water was wavy. Group B got out of the pool and I think they were very cold. I walked out of the pool and it was nice and cold cause I was hot inside the tent. Everybody ran to the classroom quickly. I had so much fun taking pictures even though I didn't swim!

My Holidays

My Holidays!
In my holidays I had so much fun and this is how it started. On a lovely Thursday morning me and my brother were the last people to wake up. In the kitchen, my mum was making breakfast, I could smell something yummy from the kitchen I walked into the kitchen and on the table was scrambled eggs, spaghetti and toast. After we all finished eating my brother and my cousin got dressed to go to Hoyts. I stayed home to help my mum with my new baby brother. Later on in the day my Dad came over to pick me up to go to his house and play with my other cousins I stayed the night at his house. The next day we all woke up and my Dad took us to the park, right after that my Dad took us to McDonalds. Next we all went home. A few minutes later my aunty arrived at home because she finished work early, two minutes later we were in the car getting ready to go to the Manukau City Mall. We walked into the mall and I saw Bungee Jumping and asked my aunty if we could go Bungee Jumping, she said yes so I ran to the queue and it cost $10 per person, so I gave the man my money and he connected all these ropes to me told me to start jumping I got higher and higher and even higher I was laughing so hard it looked like I was going to cry. I tried to do a flip but I couldn't. We were on the way going back home when my Dad called on my aunty’s mobile phone and said where are you guys? I said we’re on our way, he called because he had to drop me back home on that same day. We all arrived at home safely and my Dad dropped me off at home. My Mum was really happy to see me.

Kite Making!

On a sunny and exciting Monday 20th June our class and our reliever Mr M went to the hall. The reason why we were going to the hall was because were going to make kites for Matariki. Matariki is Maori New Year. One way to celebrate Maori New Year is to make kites. When I stepped into the hall I saw these people that were going to help us make our kites. The leaders name was Allie.
First of all they gave out the paper, sellotape, two sticks and a piece of string. Next we sellotaped our sticks onto the paper. After that we placed the piece of string onto the paper so you can hold on to it while you fly it. Finally we decorated it with crayons and colouring pencils. The only thing we had to do was fly them. It was so cool that day even though it was horrible whether. Next the girls packed all their stuff and they left to go to another school. I am sure that everyone had a great time.

What is it like to have your own blog?

I have found having my own blog is exciting because I never thought that I would have my own blog, I have never had my own blog just a class one.
It is cool having a blog because everyone around the world can see our amazing work and leave a comment.
The other good thing why we have blogs is our parents can see our school work, they can see our wonderful story's that we write on our netbooks.

My Holidays - The Embellished Version!

“Salome hurry up!” shouted my brother “Just wait,” I replied. My family was getting ready for church when suddenly we heard a knock at the door, I opened it and guess who was at the door? SELENA GOMEZ! I almost fainted, I screamed “ahhhh!” “Salome who's at the door” asked my Mum from her room. I said “Selena Gomez”.
I turned to Selena “Why are you here?”
“Well my tour bus broke down, I broke down on your street. Do you know where a gas station is?”
“Of course,” I said “there is one in the Glen Innes shopping centre” “Thanks” she said. “Do you want to go on a trip with me to New York?” Selena asked, my answer was of course “YES!.”
We went to the airport right away, boarded the plane, not just any plane but a private plane! It was like a dream come true. Hours later we finally landed in New York. I was so amazed at what I saw. I went to her concerts, got her autograph and got to go shopping with her. While I was at her second concert, guess who I saw? My friend Genevieve. I asked Selena if Genevieve could come with us on her tour bus for the next few weeks. When we got to Selena’s house she asked us if we wanted to have a slumber party, we said yes, she invited Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. We watched a scary movie in her theatre with popcorn. After that we had a pillow fight it was so cool. Next day it was the second to last day Genevieve and I were at her house. We went shopping with Selena for the last time. We ate at a flash restaurant in fancy new dresses. We were a bit tired from all the excitement so we went home for a rest and to pack our bags. It was night, we had dinner with Taylor Swift said goodbye and went to sleep. The next day we went to the airport to take Genevieve and I back to Auckland we got to go back in style, first class!
When we got home my Mum had set up a welcome back party with all my friends. I said thanks Mum, she said you’re welcome.
That night I went for a good nights sleep I was exhausted.
