My Weekend

The weekends were fun and boring at the same time. In the weekends I stayed home and did some fun things. I cooked scrambled eggs for the first time and played lots of games on my Chromebook with my cool brothers.

My weekend was so fun but was also 100% boring. I was getting so boring when my Chromebook died. I the only thing I could do was to only watch TV.  I had to wait for 45 minutes for my Chromebook to be 100% charged. Well I was waiting, I carried on watching TV. My eyes were aching so hard it looked like I was blind.

After watching TV, I went to play outside on my backyard. I grabbed the basketball and kept on shooting the basketball into the hoop. I was getting more and more bored so I went to sleep. I slept and slept until it was the next day. I had a boring and a kind of fun weekend.

My Friend Key

Eastern Beach ( Here we come)

The ocean was waving at me as my family and I sat down on the itchy grass. My family and I went to the beach to relax and have lots of fun.

My family were setting up the mat and the delicious food we cooked. When we finished setting up everything, my family and I quickly changed in to our swimming togs and ran as fast as we could to the ocean. I had the best time getting very wet and laughing with my family.

A few minutes later my family and I went to change because we got very cold and were so hungry. When my family and I finished changing we went to our mat and ate until our stomachs were as big as possible. We ate corn, chips and drank a lot of juice. I was so full, I couldn’t even take one step.

Next my family and I played  dodgeball. I have 4 big brothers and 2 of them were the throwers. The rest of us were the dodgers. As soon as my sister said go, I went crazy running everywhere dodging all the balls that were being thrown at me. Some of my brothers and sisters got out and it was just me. I kept on jumping, crouching and was saying this “ You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man”. I was getting so tired and then this happened. As I was jumping in the air the ball came right into my face and knocked me down onto the floor. I was okay and was feeling happy because I won. I did a little victory dance to show my family who’s the best.

Finally my family and I packed up our stuff and got ready to go home.
We had so much fun at the beach and can't wait until our next family vacation. This was the funnest day of my life with the people I love the most.

My First Swimming Lesson

Room 10’s first swimming lesson was spectacular. First, room 10 and I went to change into our swimming togs. Then we slowly got inside the pool and walked to our teacher Mr.Nath.  Mr.Nath explained to us how to make a whirlpool. When he finished explaining, we all got ready to make a huge whirlpool we've never done before. We all ran as fast as we can around in the pool until Mr.Nath blew the signal stop with his whistle. When Mr.Nath blew the whistle, we quickly stopped and felt the water giving us a relaxing massage. 

Next we focused on floating. We all hooked our feet under the handlebar and lied straight on our backs. As soon as Mr.Nath said get your feet off the handle bar, we had to gently take our feet off the handle bar and just relax and float. That was so fun and very,very relaxing. 

After that we did freestyle. We practised doing our front strokes and how we are supposed to kick our feet. A few moments later it was a little competition. We all went two by two versing each other. When  I finish versing my component, I went out of the pool and changed into my school uniform. 

I had so much fun and learned a lot of technique on how to swim.

My first day at school

On my first day at school, I did a lot of cool and different things with my classmates and my new teacher. First we had to write what we did in the holidays and explain what was the fun part about it.

Next we played some fun activities like the game clap, left and right and body parts. I had lots and lots and fun competing with my friends and laughing with them.

Then my teacher (Mr Nath) separated our class into little groups. In our little groups we had to write what respect self means. My group had lots of group discussions, participated well and had lots of good ideas. A few moments later we had to write what respect others meant . My group did a fantastic job and were mostly answering the questions.

After that we had our morning tea and played outside. A few minutes later we had SSR and drank our milk. When finishing our milk, our teacher(Mr Nath) explained to us how to keep your relationship with someone and how to make them happy . As he was explaining he told us to make a graphic about it. I grabbed all the blank papers and handed it out to everyone in my class. First we had to draw a big smiley face in the middle of the paper, write relationship on the top of it and then write words and sentences that make others feel happy.

Finally I rang the bell and got ready to go home. This was a fun first day of school and i'm looking forward to my first day of school next year.

Water Fun Day

Today Glenbrae school had Water Fun Day. Everyone was prepared to get wet and have fun. All the classrooms were at their first stations. There were 4 house colors. Kowhai (yellow) Kauri (green)Nikau(blue) and Rata (red).

A few minutes later Mrs Tofa rang the bell. Everyone filled there cups with water, sprinted to there rubbish bins and tipped there water inside. My classroom's first station was the water slide. Everyone went sliding down and as they were sliding, they got sprayed with water right on the face . When the bell rang again everyone stopped and went to there next station. The water slide was so fun and it made my pants very squishy.

Next we went to walk the plank. We had to walk on the wobbly plank without falling on the lava. When making it over the wobbly plank we fill up our cups and race to the rubbish bins. As soon as Mrs Tofa rang the bell again I quickly ran over the plank, filled up my cup and zoomed to the rubbish bins. Kowhai (yellow) was the leading team right now. There rubbish bin were getting filled with lots and lots of water. When Kowhai reached the top, our lovely principle Mrs Elia took a bucket and scooped some of there water out. 

As the bell rang everyone walked to their next stations. My classrooms next station was the spongebob wet pants. We got into our house lines and had to fill our sponge up with water. Mrs Tofa rang the bell and my classroom quickly had to pass the sponge over our heads or under our legs to the person at the back. As soon as everyone's sponges reached the last person, the last person for each house raced to there rubbish bins and squeezed as much as water they could into there rubbish bin. A few moments later the bell rang. The whole school were so tired and were soaking wet.

Finally we went to our last station, the zig zag. The last bell rang. Everyone raced for their lives and were tipping as much water as they could. 5 minutes later the whole school were sitting on the court soaking wet. The teachers were measuring the rubbish bins to see who had the most water inside. After they measured the bins, our principal Mrs Elia announced the winning house…….. KOWHAI. Kowhai came first , Rata came second and Kauri and Nikau came third and fourth.  

Kowhai had a awesome prize. They had free time swimming in the pool well everyone had morning tea. Everyone was so jealous that Kowhai got to swim in the pool. But then something amazing happened. Guess what the whole school got. We all got delicious ice blocks for participating in our school water fun day.

This was a fun and exhausting day. I can't wait until next years next water fun day.

 The goals I need to achieve at school is to be an active listener and to be a better role model for others. I like participating in sports and also like spelling difficult words.

I have lots of friends and my favourite teachers are Miss Smith and Mr Nath. They are both intelligent and have a great sense of humour. I have 2 favourite movie actors. The first one is  Dwayne Johnson from Jumanji and the second one is Chadwick Boseman from Black Panther. When I am older I would like to be a member of the All Blacks and to be a police officer. 

My favourite ice-cream is a mint chocolate chip and my favourite superhero is Night Crawler. I'm a big fan of soccer players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.Jr. Someday I would like to compete in world sevens and bump off at least 31 rugby players. I hope you learned a little bit of who I am.
