My week

This week Room 7 learnt how to play squash with a guy named Ricardo and a girl named Kirsten. We also learnt about the names of angels and how to draw angles.

In writing, we wrote a story about our Super cars. Today, Friday 9 of August, Ricardo split our class up into 4 groups and my group, was the winner at the end of the session.

I also read a book called Goosebumps Hall Of Horrors. I have not finished the book yet but the beginning is awesome.

My Holidays

My Holidays

On the first week of my holidays, it was very very boring because we did nothing. We just stayed home and watched tv. During the second week, it was so much fun. We spent time out south at my aunt's house.The next day we went to the museum. We had to wake up early so we could be at the museum early.When we got to the museum we all went up into the eating room and had a feed before we went and looked around at the cool stuff. When we finished eating, we packed up all our stuff and left to the first room of interesting facts and knowledge.

The first room was all about little insects and creepy crawlies. When I first walked into the room the first thing i went to was a sandpit what we had to make balls of sand and throw them at the little creepy crawlies but the crawlies weren't real. Next my sister decided to play a game where she told me to close my eyes and don’t peek. She sat me down and then told me to look up and open my eyes. All of a sudden, I got a huge fright because there were two real spiders right in front of me. Next I looked to the side and there were so many bugs on the wall. After that, we went to the volcano area and waited outside of the of the volcano house because we wanted to go in but there were too many people. Finally it was finished and it was our turn, we walked inside slowly, we all had to find a place to sit. My siblings and I were sitting in the front near the big screen while we waited for it to start. We all waited very quietly and all of a sudden, it finally started while the steam came up off the ocean. Everyone was very scared especially my little cousin. He was so scared because the room was shaking and it was very scary. Finally, it was all done. We were all exhausted by the end of the day and decided to go home.

When we arrived home my aunty said that she would go with my sister to buy some junk food for us to eat and watch a movie. While my Sister and Aunty were gone, My Mother and I were going through our  movies trying to decide which one to watch.Then my mum saw one movie called “Olympus Has Fallen” she opened it up on a new page and she let the movie load. When my Aunt and sister finally arrived, my aunty asked me  “Keti can you please warm up the Popcorn thanks?” When it was all done and dusted, I was finally able to relax and watch the movie with the rest of my family.

Housing Problem

On Taniwha and Fenchurch streets in Glen Innes, there was a Protest.

I never saw the protest but i heard about it. I heard that the reason why the government are taking down houses are because the people have not been paying their rent. So now the people who work for the government will be building big apartments and flats. They will also be building a new park in Glen Innes. Also the people who got kicked out of their houses they will have to find somewhere else to stay.The people working for the government will be taking down more houses if people still don’t pay for their rent for their houses.

My Trip To Australia

One morning,

My sister and I were so excited to be flying to Australia.First it was early in the morning me and my sister had to get ready have a shower so we could get to the Airport fast.When everyone was ready we all hopped in the the van we took off fast,the van was full because there were a lot of people in our van because they wanted to say a goodbye to me and my sister.

Then we finally arrived at the Auckland Airport all of us got  out of the van with excitement.We finally took small steps into the Airport then we saw our Aunty Moira and went with her because she had our tickets. We were like running around the Airport because we had to do one thing then the other, it was so tiring.Next we went and sat down and my other Aunty. She brought us some KFC before we left then my mum came it was time for us to go.There was some tears but we were okay.Finally we walked through the door and walked through lots and lots of doors then we boarded our plane.

Finally we walked to our seat we sat down i wanted to  sit by the window but my sister  sat down near the window  first.We were flying on the plane it was a very long time we were on the plane i felt a bit dizzy so i went to the toilet when i went to the toilet i splashed water on my face and i felt a little better then i sat back down.

Time went bye and then the pilot said through his speaker “We will be landing the Gold Coast” I was so happy we were finally there it was my first time away from New Zealand so i was already missing New Zealand.Then our plane started zooming fast because we were about to land in AUSTRALIA.

Now it was time for us to hop of the plane,We walked down the stairs it was very loud because the Airplane engine was still on.Then we walked through the first door that had lead us through shops then to the bag claim i can't remember what it was called.Finally we could go out we went out we were looking everywhere for my auntie who we were staying with.Then i spotted a light blue t-shirt i was sure it was her then she looked at us we ran over and gave her a great big hug.

Then we walked down to the car and put our bags in the boot i hopped in and put my seatbelt on and then we left.While we were driving i could see all the land that wasn't full with houses and stuff.It was a very long time driving back to there home but the ride was so cool because we could see the beautiful sea and sand also we could see the big rides.

Then suddenly we came to a stop we had come to a house i didn't know if it was hers or someone else but it was my aunties it was a great big house it didn’t have upstairs but it was a very long house.Next we walked into our room and put our bags down we next walked into the living room where the a air conditioner was it was very hot in Australia i wanted to take off my t-shirt.Then she asked “are you guys hungry?” we both said yep we went and ate she pulled out a bag of chicken,bread and mayonnaise.

Next day she asked us if we would like to go to Movie World we said yes with excitement we all got changed very quick.Then we left in the car to Movie World when we got to movie world the first thing we did was give our pass then we got in next we all walked to a restaurant in there we went and ate we all had yummy food and nice cold drinks.After that we all went and walked around the first ride we  went on was the Scooby Doo ride it was very scary that i almost cried.Next we went on all the other ride the ride that was the most scariest was the green lantern ride i felt like crying and i felt so dizzy because we went upside down side to side twisted and turned it was so scary and fun at the same time.Then it was time for us to leave we we walked out of the gates and waited outside for someone to pick us up.Finally they came we hopped in and went we all were so tired so we all fell asleep.So that was my trip to Australia and after that we went to more cool theme parks,ate,slept and more.
