Fun time with dad and friends.

One hot, sunny morning, my friends and I went to play outside. Then my dad came and told us to get into the car so we could go to the Otahuhu pools. I ran inside my house and got everything that we all needed for the pools. My friends and I were very excited because we were going to the pools.

When we got there, we were already changed into our togs. We all started at the bombing place. My friends and I went to the bombing place and we jumped off the plank. After that, we went swimming in the swimming competitions. We all took turns and I came first but my friends came second.

On our way home, my dad asked us if we wanted to eat some food, so I and my friends said yes and he took us to KFC to eat.

After eating our delicious dinner we were so glad because it was our luckiest day ever. It was an awesome day. My friends and I all said thank you so much to my dad because he took us to the pool and to KFC to eat. It was the most brilliant day that I have ever had.

I really wish that day could happen again.

Riding on Hover board and skates

On Thursday the 13-02-19 I decided to rode on my hoverboard and then rode on my skates.My first step was to hop on the hoverboard and start moving.Second was going round like a circle and I tried I fell down and I kept on trying until I got used to it and my last try was really awesome I did 48 spins and I was proud of myself next up was to rode on my skates.

Riding on my skates was really hard because I have to try something that I have never rode on since last time.I have rode a skate but I forgotten so I have to bring my friend to help me.Me and my all of my friends  start off with some steps.First one is that I have to run a cross the road and I did it.Running with it was so hard no matter how hard I tried I keep on falling and making mistakes but I learnt from my mistakes.When I got used to it I rode on it.

I also showed my parents and cousins and my aunt & uncle.They were very happy and they take me and my friends when with my uncle to the Otahuhu pool and swim.We were really happy to be at the pool.

I went back home with my friends and took a shower and slept for school.It was the best day of my life.I learnt no matter how many mistakes that you have never give up because you was born to be ready for anything.

Going to the feast

 My dad came to take us  to a feast with my family.At the feast we were helping my mum to get the table ready and put some fruit in a big bowl and on top some chocolate bar and biscuit Tim Tam, Finger and also  some cookies.

When the feast start we pray and then we ate.First we ate chocolate bar,biscuit and also some healthy food.Then we ate and ate and ate until we got few.Meanwhile we have to take our food outside and put it in the van  after we have to play with the little kids.Thirdly we play gymnastic this is how it goes like,Who can do the splits?Then I win.Next who can do the feet touch the head and me and Latu win.

Finally we went home with a happy face because we enjoy  the feast and it was really cool to went on a feast like that.We have KFC for dinner and slept for school.I wish that we will went to a feast again.

Water Fun Day

Today we had water fun day.We went changing and we all sit on our class line.The teacher that was joining  Kauri is Mrs Ripata,Mrs Rag and for Kowhai was Ms Kee and Nikau was Mrs Tofa and Ms Smith and for Rata was Mr Nath,Ms Pauuvale and Ms Kelly.



In our class we went to the water slide first so the game works like this.We have to fill the container and then slide on the water slide all the way to the bottom and run with container and pour the water inside our container to our house color bucket.Mrs Rag rang the bell and we started the game.My first try I slide fast and I flipped to the front and continued again.I have a lot of fun with my team and it was time for us to wet to an another game.



Up next we went to this game is called walk the plank the rules is you have to walk the plank  and get the container and filled them up with water then pour it into each other house color bucket.Mrs Rag rang the bell and we started the game.When I have my first try I was so scared but when I was walking fast on the plank I almost fell down.Me and my team liked it but we mostly liked the water slide



After when we went to the game called walk the plank.We went to another game call the cup challenge.The rules are we have do partner with someone and fill the it with water and run or walk to our color houses bin and pour it into our house color bins.On my first try we all work on a team and we made a plan.So our plan was that we only walk to the bin and take our time and then run fast back to our lines.Mrs Tofa ranged the bell and we started the game.We look at people running fast and the water keeps on dripping down fast to the floor.

After when we finished playing the cup challenge we went to a game call up and down or over and under.The game goes like this we have to stand in a line and past each other a sponge and we pass the sponge all around put up and under.The last person at the back will run with the sponge and squeeze it into our house color bin.Our first round was easy our bin was almost full but Kowhai was beating us.We try harder but they were still beating us.

Our last game called the  zigzag goes like this.You have to fill your container with water And run on the zigzag and pour the water in the container into our house color bin.I first try but then our one was small and Kowhai was winning.We try harder and harder but we were still going to lose.After when we all get a turn Mrs Rag rang the bell and it was times up.It was time for us to measure the water we all waited until it was time for the biggest surprise to tell who is the winning team.



We were all waiting until they said Kowhai won,Rata came 2st,Nikau came 3rd and Kauri game last place.The winning team has to go and have a swim for 15 minute and the other people when change and ate ice blocks.When we all finished we thought we all have a lot of fun and also it was not about the winning it was about having fun.We all enjoyed the water fun day.We hoped that we will do it again next time.Myself.
