American store & Patumahoe

Sunday afternoon me and my friend Starr went to the american store (Martha's backyard) in Mount Wellington. The reason why we went to the american store is because we wanted to get these ver popular jelly beans called Bean Boozled. Bean Boozled is a box of jelly beans that have jelly beans that look the same but one might taste good or one might taste really gross. 

When we arrived to the store I quickly went inside to find a candy called warheads. When I was looking there wee no more warheads left, I was a bit angry because they were really sour candy which taste's really good. Instead of looking for them I got my first favourite chips called cheettos (flaming hot) which were really spicy chips. 


Starr and I finally found the Bean Boozled and then we came across to Berti Botts harry potter jelly beans, they looked ver interesting so we bought both boxes of jelly beans. I was really scared because there were some really bad flavours, i've already tried the bean boozled but I thought it would be fun to do it again. As I went to buy my candy my dad asked if I could buy my little pool that was four dollars so I said sure. When we purchased our items Starr and I went back into the car ready to go to Patumahoe, that's were my aunty and uncle lives.


When we were putting up the tree at their house it was really hard to stand up because it was a real tree so it was really big to. It was really hard putting the tinsel on because it was so wide and spiky, there were a lot of decorations so we had to try put them all on the tree. When we finished doing the tree it looked so weird. It looked really funny. After that me and Starr did the bean boozled challenge and I got every single bad flavour.

Helping my mum at work

Today my mum and I drove to her work, she works at green-fingers. Green- fingers is a garden bin company, all of the truck drivers have to drop off bins and garden bags off to people that have ordered them.

As we were pulling up to her work there was a big muddy puddle in front of our park. The weather was not nice to, it was raining so we had to get into the office quick because I couldn't get my cast wet. When we were walking up the bins smelt bad EWWW!!

Inside the office there were 3 men sitting at their desks. There names were Mike, Scott and Bertan. When I fist went in it was really quiet and a bit awkward. The other office people were having a christmas party.

After a little while my mum asked me if I could do the runs for her. The runs is papers that have peoples names on them and you have to put them into snap lock bags. When I was finished we went home.

Putting up the christmas tree at aunty Lisa and uncle Liam's house

Tomorrow is Sunday and my mum, dad, brother and I are driving to Patumahoe. Were going to my aunty and uncle's house to help put up the christmas tree. Last time we went there their christmas tree was really small it was the part of the tree you attach on top. I like going to their house because they have a really big backyard and a dog named Yoshi he loves to play with the flying disc.

When we went before the drive was really long it was about 45 minutes long. I thought it was really fun the last time because we had a barbecue and some of their friends were there to. Whenever we help set up the tree with them they always play christmas songs on the TV. I can't wait to go tomorrow.

Leap

Today was my little cousin's birthday. She was turning 4 today, for her birthday party we went to a place called Leap which is down hamilton. Leap is a indoor trampoline park just like the place called jump.

7:00 in the morning was the time my mum had to wake me up to get ready for the party. I was really tired and it is school holidays so I wanted to sleep in. When I was all ready and dressed it was time to wake up my brother Orlando, he was a sleepyhead because when I was calling his name he still wasn't waking up.

Once my mum, Orlando and I were in the car we had to pick up aunty Lee because she was coming to hamilton with us. When she was in the car we went back home to get the cake and to take my medicine. The cake was a frozen cake that had Olaf on top, my mum made it all by herself it looks so cool.




Because we didn't have time to eat breakfast we all went to McDonald's  it was yummy. On our way to hamilton. As we were driving there I started getting a little tired so I laid back and closed my eyes and before you knew it I was asleep for like about 40 minutes, when I woke up my mum said were almost there. Pulling up to a parking I saw a sign saying Leap indoor trampoline park. I was excited because it was just like jump.

Inside there were a lot of trampolines, two inflatable things and a  big foam pit oh and one basketball hoop place which was really fun. I got it in the hoops a couple of times even without looking. Kai time!!! After a big jump all the kids got called for a Kai all the food look delicious. There were chicken drumsticks, salads, sausages and more. There were also some really good fruit kebabs with blueberries, oranges, strawberries, blackberries, grapes and a lolly on the end.

Last day of school

Today was Pt England's last day, because it was the last day of school we had half day so we all got to finish at 12:30pm. In the morning we had our assembly just like we do on Friday's. At assembly I got to kids@work certificates, one was for fruit flies and the other one was for sports monitors. 

When assembly had finished we went into our literacy classes and sat on the mat. Then Mrs Garden and Mr Goodwin told us to get in some groups so she put together some team captains, I was in Juliet's team. The groups were for a game called ghost. Our team came 2nd to last and the winning team was Josh's team so they got  to get one freddo frog each. 

Our second game was called snakes. Snakes is when you get given a lolly and and you have to save the wrapper, once you've finished the lolly carefully rip the wrapper and whoever makes the longest snake won a freddo frog. And guess who won, well it wasn't our team but it was Maysun's team. 

Our last game was pass the parcel, Mrs Garden changed the game a bit so there were three different coloured card and you had to do what the colour says. If the music stopped on you but you didn't want to open it you can pass it to someone else. When the music stopped on me I didn't want to open it because it could of been the orange card and that means you have to sing a verse of any song. After the games we had morning tea. 

During morning tea people were signing my cast ( I fractured my wrist). Thanks for signing my cast guys Stevenson, Elizabeth U, Marilyn, Promise, Jalen, Louis, and Collin. When that was all finished I went to play four square with my friends ( with one hand). The bell had gone and everyone was now in there math classes Mr Somerville said we could play a couple of games. Our first game was called silent ball, it's when you have to throw and catch a ball silently. I thought that game was really fun and challenging. Our very last game of the year was called BANG I got out a couple of times. 

When it was about 11:50 we all lined up ready to go to the hall. When we were in the hall Mrs Jacobson gave out mini candy canes , they were yummy. After assembly we all said bye to our teachers and friends and then we all went home. I'm going to miss my friends and teachers.

Happy holidays xoxo

Kawau island recount


Brooklyn Camp movie from Team 4 Pes on Vimeo.



Last week on tuesday the year 6 kids went to Kawau Island for they're camp. All the year 6’s were really excited because we were camping on an island. At Kawau Island there a lot of activities that looked really fun.


My first favourite activity was kayaking because I just love rowing across the ocean. When we went kayaking it was windy so the waves were really big and strong. When I was rowing, the kayak started leaning on one side so that started to scare me because I thought that I was going to fall out, but lucky I evened the kayak out. Even though it was really rough out sea it was still really fun.

Every morning we all would wake up at 7:00am and go outside to stretch and for our run. This is so we could keep fit and to wake us up. I thought the run was fun because it was really interesting with a lot of nature. The run was also a little hard because there were uphills and downhills, I think downhills were the hardest because you had to be very careful that you don’t slip and hurt yourself.


The very first activity did was bivouac I found that pretty fun. If you're wondering what that is well bivouac is a tent made out of sticks and other things you find in the woods but it must be waterproof. When we had to make our one Guess what? It failed yes it failed we all got wet. We were pretty disappointed.

When it was the last day of camp which was also a sad day because no one wanted to leave, since it was the last day of camp the teachers planned us a sports day which meant we had to challenge other groups. Kawau which was our group won 2 out of three games which was really good. The 2 games we won we're volleyball and bush baseball, and the game we lost was touch but besides that I think we still did really good. I thought camp was really fun and cool it was so fun I didn’t even want to leave. My favourite part about camp overall would probably be kayaking because it is just so fun and gives you a really good arm exercise. I would definitely recommend this camp to the year 5s going on year 6’s next year because I know that they’ll just have so much fun and I bet they won't want to leave.

Every morning we all would wake up at 7:00am and go outside to stretch and for our run. This is so we could keep fit and to wake us up. I thought the run was fun because it was really interesting with a lot of nature. The run was also a little hard because there were uphills and downhills, I think downhills were the hardest because you had to be very careful that you don't slip and hurt yourself.
