Holiday highlight

It was a lucky night where me and my family and I in Australia got to go to a restaurant in the gold cost.We had to walk and it was a very long way to get there and while we were walking we saw some large Crabs it was freaky because they were moving there mouths in a sideways motion. But finally we arrived at the restaurant that my Auntie

When we had arrived the place looked awesome because there were mini hot balloons that you get to sit in. Me and my family ordered some ribs and a all you can eat pancakes. First I had a pancake with melted butter it was okay but not sweet enough so I was going to have another but my dad insisted I have some ribs so I had a couple of ribs then dug back into the pancakes.



My second pancake was with butter and golden maple syrup the butter melted in my mouth then the golden syrup dripped out of my mouth. My third pancake had topping of ice cream and syrup. I was going to have another but my dad said “to only have one more and you only get a half pancake” “Okay” I said.


After all of those delicacy's we had we all had sore stomachs and was completely full of food. That night I slept great. That was a trip to remember.

Canterbury Earthquake

At 4:00 am on Saturday in Canterbury an earthquake hit, which devastated the community of Christchurch. Heaps of old buildings collapsed. The Earthquake which was 7.1 on the Richter scale, was a complete surprise to the scientists.
The earthquake made the grounds unstable which burst pipes such as sewerage pipes. So if someone were to light a match in the area flames would start and be dangerous to the people. The water leaks could cause diseases. Huge cracks have also formed in the ground.

I feel so sorry for the people who had lost their homes

Swimming

I was fidgeting with my life jacket because Ms Squires said that it was tight. So I took it off and tried a different one, which Chris. I said it was too big but Ms Squires said, “It fits.”

Chris was from water safety NZ and he brought a portable pool to our school. In the weekend on week 4 these men were building the portable pool for our school. We are going to use the pool only every Wednesday til the end of the term.

Four Day Nations League Tour 2010

Wow!! I said excitedly while meeting all the famous people in the four nations like Isaac Luke, Sam Burges, Lance Hohaia and Darius Boyd. It was very cool going to see those famous people and we got their signatures too.Above is a photo of Darius Boyd and I. Below are some other pictures of famous league players.

The Film fest

“My name is Jandle man” he squeaked I started to laugh. Have you heard of Manaiaikalani? Well for those who haven't, it’s a film festival where all the schools in G.I make movies that show on the BIG screen.The Manaiaikalani film fest has been going for maybe 3 or 4 year’s and Mrs Burt is the one who always organises the Manaiaikalani film festival. It’s usually shown at Tamaki College but this year we got to go to Sylvia Park Hoyts to watch our big films.

We traveled by bus to get to Sylvia Park. We had time tables for whose turn it was to go to Sylvia Park and then come back to school. On the bus it was very noisy because everyone on the bus was singing songs. They all sounded like a boom speaker that was at the maximum sound that it could go. While they were busy singing me and Kingston were playing shadow boxing and I kept losing. Then finally we got there and the presenters got off first then everyone else was pushing and shoving to get off the bus.

Presenters are the people who present their movie that they are showing so they have a very very big job. They have also have to stay at Sylvia Park so they can present at each session. The presenters for our classroom movie were Raenan and Chante.

The film festival was also put on at night time too so you could buy tickets for the evening show.

The movie’s were all cool; I like Jandle man, Rewind and Feeling good feeling great I enjoyed watching these movies because in the jandle man it said that using the jandle for some uses were to kill the kutu on the son’s head so she whacked the kutu on the son’s head. Those were my favourite movies that I liked but you can decide by clicking here.

Kiwi's Victory

On
Saturday history had been made the Kiwi’s may have lost the warm up
match game but the game which was for the grand final was better because
the KIWI’S WON AGAINST THE OZZY’S IN SUNCORP STADIUM IN BRISBANE
AUSTRALIA. I didn’t watch much off the game but I watched the replay and
saw Ozzy's get wasted. Benji Marshal was one of the best players. I
think because he set all the tries up for the kiwis. The people who
scored a try were Shaun Kenny-Dowall,Nathan Fein and Jason NightingGale.
