The Museum

In the holidays I went to the Museum with my mum.  We went by bus.  At the Museum I saw a volcano.  It wasn’t a real volcano.  The volcano was big.  It was so big that it nearly touched the roof.  The volcano was coloured light blue and dark blue.  I think that it was made of rock.  It was just like a real volcano.

Next we went to see the sharks.  They weren’t real sharks.  The sharks were all different sizes.  Some sharks were big, some were medium and some were small.  The big shark had very big teeth.  It was scary.  It would be even scarier if it was alive and swimming around.  My mum took a photo of me and the big shark.

After that we went to visit the Marae.  It looked a bit like a house.  We had to take our shoes off when we went into the Marae.  There were some people inside but there was no stuff inside.  We looked at the carvings.  They were amazing.  I had a neat time at the Museum with my mum. 

My Birthday

In the holidays my family and I went to Rainbow’s End for my birthday.  First we went to the show.  It was a magic show.  A man was wearing a night costume and a girl was wearing a fairy costume.  They told the kids to come up onto the stage to do some cool dancing.  It was a dance competition.  At the end they had to choose 3 winners.  The winners were a girl, a teenage boy and me!  We all did cool dances and I won!  They also gave me a prize.  The prize was a colouring box.  Inside the colouring box there were some flash colouring sticks. 

Next we went on the Log ride with my dad.  We went inside the log and up the slide.  At the end we slid down the slide.  We also went inside a tunnel.  The tunnel was scary, and the rest of the ride was fun and exciting.  I had a great birthday at Rainbow’s End.

Rainbows End

In the holidays I went to Rainbows End with my family.  First I went on the roller coaster.  It was fun.  Then I went to the Bingo game.  It was a hard game but it’s alright.  My Mum came too.  We played cooking together.  Mummy and I made pancakes.  They tasted yummy.  I also went to the Balling game with my family.  I bowled the ball into the cupboard.  I won the game!  It was a lot of fun.  I hope that I get to go to Rainbows End another time.

Auntie’s Birthday Party

In the holidays I went to my auntie Leka’s birthday party.  I went with my Mum and my cousins.  My cousins’ names are Patrick, Allen and Bethe.  First we wished auntie a happy birthday and she said thank you for coming.  Then she gave me a chocolate. 

My auntie Leka had a birthday cake.  It was a chocolate birthday cake.  We all ate the cake.  It tasted delicious.  We had a good time at my auntie Leka’s s birthday party.

My Sleep Over

In the holidays I slept over at Gloria’s house.  Gloria is my cousin.  First we went to the $2 Shop together.  At the $2 shop we bought a Frozen pencil case.  Then I asked my Mum if I could sleep over at Gloria’s house.  My Mum said, “Yes”. 

At night Gloria’s brother kept waking us up.  His name is Kep.  Then we went into the lounge to see Victoria.  Victoria is Gloria’s baby sister.  She is a happy baby and very cute.  She is little. 

After that Gloria said, “Let’s go to sleep now”.  I said, “OK Gloria”.  The next day Gloria and I played together and we also played with Victoria.  I was happy playing with my friends.

The Aeroplane Movie

In the holidays I went to America with my Mum and Dad.  On the plane I watched the ‘Flash’ movie.  The movie screen was on the back of the seat and I had little earphones.

The main character in the movie was ‘The Flash’.  The Flash’s real name was Barry. At the beginning of the movie Barry didn’t know that he was ‘The Flash’. 

One night Barry was woken up by a loud sound.  It was coming from downstairs.  Barry went downstairs and he noticed that the water in the fish tank was floating in the air.  It was moving slowly but there was nothing holding it up.  There were also some lightening men in the lounge.  The red one killed Barry’s mother.  The green one took Barry to safety.  The green man was actually Barry from the future, but the present day Barry didn’t know.

In the middle of the movie Barry dreamt that he had run to find his father, but his father had been taken to prison by the police.  This turned out to be real.

  

At the end of the movie something at Star Labs blew up.  It was called the Particle Accelerator.  When it blew up it gave lots of people special powerful abilities.  There were only two good people who were affected by these special powers.  They were Barry and a girl.  The people that Barry had to fight were bullies from his school.  Sometimes Barry succeeded and sometimes he didn’t, so he tried again.  The movie had a good ending because Barry found out who killed his mother.  It was a man who was in disguise.  Barry succeeded in putting this man in a special prison.

Rotorua

In the holidays I went to Rotorua with my family.  My cousins and my auntie and uncle, from Hamilton, came too.  We did lots of fun things in Rotorua.

First we went on the Luge.  A Luge is like a slide but you sit in a big cabin and a machine next to the outside panel takes a photo of you.  Then it gets going and you go down a really, really, steep slide.  It was really, really, fast and my heart beat fast!  My six year old cousin yelled loudly as we speed down the slide. 

After that we got ten boxes of goodies from the candy shop.  There was candy inside the boxes.  They were yellow and green and they tasted sour like lemons.  I thought they tasted yummy.  But when my mum tasted them she said, “aahhhh, it tastes terrible”!

Next we went to the café.  We ate spaghetti and we drank hot milo.  We were cold so the hot food helped to warm us up.  It tasted really, really, yum. 

 Later we went to Rainbow Springs.  It was a real cool.  There was a talking American parrot.  It said, “Hello” to us.  I said, “Hello” back to the parrot.  The trainer said that I was the first kid to ever make the parrot talk at Rainbow Springs.  I also saw a kiwi.  It had a big, big yellow beak and I saw the baby kiwis hatching.  They were very small and cute.  I really, really want to go back to Rotorua again soon.

The Party

One night in the holidays my family and I went to a party.  It was the African Community Party.  We had been looking forward to it for a while.  It was held in a room next to the hall.  Usually we are in the hall but someone else had booked before us.

First, when we got there, we said our prayers.  Then we said hi to each other and we had a chat. After that we put the music on.  The music was on a CD.  It was African music.

Then my dad arrived.  He and my uncle talked to each other and I stood with them.  Next my sister and I danced.  The whole crowd started to dance.  We did fast dancing and slow dancing.  I like dancing.

Later we ate some food.  Everyone bought some food to the party.  I ate red soup and chicken.  I ate all of it and it tasted good.  Finally it was home time and I said goodbye to everyone.  There were 55 people at the party.  Sometimes we have about one hundred and eighty people at our African Community Party.  I had a good time.

The Swimming Pools

In the holidays I went to the swimming pools with my family.  Before we left home we changed into our swimming togs and then we went to the pools in our car.

At the pools I swam with my cousin.  My cousin’s name is Necola.  She is older than I am.  My mum and my dad also swam with us.  It was cold in the little pool.  I couldn’t swim in the big pool because it is for the grownups.

Later, when I had finished swimming I hopped out of the pool and my mum said that it was home time.  Next I had a shower and then I got changed into my clothes.

After we had all gotten dressed into our warm clothes we went outside and had some lunch.  I had Nuttala sandwiches.  They tasted yum.

After that we went home because we were all tired from swimming.  I had lots of fun with my family at the swimming pool.

Going To The City

In the holidays my aunty, my sisters and I went on a train ride to the city.  I saw lots of people on the train and they were all quiet.  We went inside a tunnel.  It was very dark and I could see my sisters’, and my own, reflection in the window.

When we got off the train we were in the city.  We walked along Custom Street and went into some shops.   We did some shopping.  I bought a colouring book and some colouring pens.

After we had finished shopping we went to eat at McDonald’s.  It was the McDonald’s in the shopping mall.  We ate chips and burgers, and some chicken nuggets.  They tasted good.  Then we caught the train back to Glen Innes.

We had fun going to the city in the train.  I want to go on the train to the city again soon.

At The Swimming Pool

In the holidays I went to the swimming pool with my family.  My family included my brothers, sisters, cousins, nana, aunties and uncles.  My mum and dad didn’t come with us because they were working.

We travelled to the swimming pool in two vans.  First, when we got to the pool, we put on our swimming clothes. Then we went to swim in the swimming pool. 

It was nice and warm in the swimming pool.  I had lots of fun in the pool.  I splashed water all over myself and it felt good.  Then I swam up and down the pool.  Some of my brothers and sisters also swam up and down the pool.  After that I went on the slide.  There was water coming down the slide and it ended in the swimming pool.  I slid down the slide very fast and then splashed into the pool. 

After that I looked for my auntie and nana, but they were over in the hot pool.  When I found my nana I told her that I wanted something to eat.  She laughed and pushed me into the water.  I laughed too. 

Then I needed to find my brother, and I partnered up with my sister.  We all went to eat some food together.  I ate chips and I had a drink of water.  Then I was tired.  Not everyone in my family was tired.  Finally we left the pools and we went back home.  I like going to the swimming pools.  

Sylvia Park

In the holidays my Dad, Mum, my little brother and I went to the Sylvia Park Shopping Mall.  My little brother’s name is Justin.

First we ate at McDonald’s. We ate cheese burgers, chicken McNuggets and fries.  We also had ice cream cones.  They are a very yummy desert.  I like them a lot. 

After we had eaten my brother and I played on the playground.  We played on the slide monkey bars and in the tunnel.  There were only a few other children there.  Then we stopped playing to go to the Warehouse. 

At the Warehouse Justin bought a paw patrol toy with a truck and a packet of Lego.  I bought a box of blue kinetic sand, some glittering pyjamas and a packet of Lego.  Later my Mum bought me some of my school uniform and a pair of socks.  She also bought Justin a new jacket. 

Finally, when we had finished our shopping we went back home.  We all had a good day at the Sylvia Park Shopping Mall.

The Beach

In the holidays I went to the beach.  I went with my whole family.  Before we left home we all changed into our swimming togs.  We travelled to the beach in our van.

First, when we got to the beach, my brother, my two sisters and I had a swim.  We all screamed when we got into the water because the water was cold.  We only stayed in the water for a short time and then we got out and dried ourselves with our towels.  Then we got dressed so that we could get warm.

Next we had something to eat and some juice to drink.  My mum bought tuna sandwiches for us to eat.  They tasted yum. 

Later I built a big sand castle out of sand and we decorated it with pretty shells.  My sister Nicolle helped me to build the sand castle. 

After that my family and I went home.  I like going to the beach and so does my whole family.

Train Trip

In the holidays my auntie Noah took Penelope, Tryah, Leiloa and I on a train ride to the city.  Tyrah is my sister from Auckland, Penelope is my big sister from up north, and Leiloa is my sister from Samoa.

We boarded the train at the Glen Innes Station.  Then we travelled on the train to the city.  It was a short trip.  When we got to the Britomart Train Station, in the city, we walked outside and we went to the mall.

First we looked in two different shops but my auntie didn’t like those shops.  So then we found a shop that my auntie picked.  We went into the shop and bought some colouring books, writing books and colouring pens.  We also bought earphones for my auntie and a phone cover for Penelope’s phone.  My auntie said that Penelope needed a phone cover to protect her phone.

Next we got some food at McDonald’s.  We ate our food outside.  While I ate my chips I saw some pigeons that were starving, so I feed them some of my chips.  Lots of pigeons came to me and I petted them.  They kept flapping their wings. 

After that we had to go home, but we didn’t know what to do so we asked a man which was our train.  He said, “Your train was the one that just left”.  So we had to wait for another train to arrive.

Soon the train that we were waiting for arrived.  So we went on the train and waited for the driver to say, “Glen Innes Station”.  When we got back to the Glen Innes Station we got out of the train and we went to the Internet place in the shopping centre.  At the Internet place we watched parts of some movies.

After that we went home by taxi.  When we got home it was raining so we went inside and changed our clothes.  Then we sat in the lounge and watched a movie.  We were all tired but we had a great day going to the city in the train.

Inflatable World

In the holidays I went to Inflatable World with my mum, my nana and my cousin Caleb.  When we got there Caleb and I went on the Bouncy Castle.  Nana came on the Bouncy Castle with us.  Nana is the person who has to hop on the things that Caleb goes on. 

Then I got hot and so did Caleb.  So we had a drink each.  After we had our drinks I went on the Obstacles.  Caleb and I had to run and jump to get into the Obstacles.  Caleb couldn’t jump high enough so nana had to give him a hand.  I climbed over the medium sized wall and slid down.  Then I came to big wall.  I managed to get over the big wall.  I had to put my feet in the green things and then I held the black things to help me to get over.

Next I went on the Climbing Wall.  It felt a bit scary.  I climbed to the top.  Nana helped Caleb to get on the climbing wall.  Caleb needed nana’s help because he had never been on a climbing wall before.  Later my nana came on the slide with Caleb and I. 

Then we went to McDonald’s.  At McDonald’s I had a cheese burger and I got a Minion.  The food tasted good. Caleb and I like it.  We had lots of fun at Inflatable World.  I think Inflatable World is cool and so does my cousin Caleb.  

Visiting Nana

In the holidays my mum, my dad, my brother and I went to my nana’s house.  We went there to celebrate my nana’s birthday. My cousin, my brother and I made our nana a card.  Then we gave our card to nana.  Nana was happy when we gave her our card.  Then we turned all of the lights off so that we could surprise nana by singing Happy Birthday to her.

Next we ate pie, pizza and chips.  They tasted good.  After that we all ate nana’s birthday cake.  It was a chocolate cake.  It was yummy.

Then we watched TV.  We watched Lego Star Wars.  After that I went down stairs with my brother and my cousin.  We played games.  We played Tack Over and Tanking On Line.  We had fun.

We slept over at nanas house for five nights.  We took our pillows and our blankets with us to nana’s house.  It was cold at nana’s house.  Later we went back home.

Finally we were warm.

My Birthday

In the holidays it was my birthday.  For my birthday I got a special surprise from my dad.  It was a play station.  I played some war games on my new play station.  It was a bit easy and a bit scary.  It was fun though.  In the game the aliens appeared out of nowhere.  I had to kill them and they had stronger guns than me.  The gun was called Red I.  I had to push the L button on the gun to shoot the glowing bullet at the aliens.  If you get close to the aliens you can hit them with your gun.  I was able to do this to the walking aliens.  They reminded me of the Zombies. 

Once you are on Level 3 and you complete it the aliens shoot down a Spier attack.  A Spier looks like a rocket ship but it is a missile.  When the missile hits the ground it lets out alien bugs.  The bugs crawled all over my character and went into his mouth.  My character’s name is Sargent Hales.  In the game he is call Sarg.

My dad said that I got a bit scared but there are even scarier levels.  But I really enjoyed it.  Playing Levels 1 and 2 were the most fun.

The Museum

In the holidays I went to the Museum with my mum.  We went by bus.  At the Museum I saw a volcano.  It wasn’t a real volcano.  The volcano was big.  It was so big that it nearly touched the roof.  The volcano was coloured light blue and dark blue.  I think that it was made of rock.  It was just like a real volcano.

After that we went to visit the Marae.  It looked a bit like a house.  We had to take our shoes off when we went into the Marae.  There were some people inside but there was no stuff inside.  We looked at the carvings.  They were amazing.  I had a neat time at the Museum with my mum.

In the holidays it was my Daddy’s birthday.  For Daddy’s birthday I gave him my card.  I had made the card myself.  I gave him my card.  He said, “Thank you Summer”, and he gave me a big hug. 

Later on my Mum and my sister came back from Aaron’s birthday party.  Aaron is my sister’s friend from Child’s Time Play School.  Then we all got ready to go to the movies at Sylvia Park.

The movie was called Inside Out.  The main character was called Riley.  It was a cool movie because there were some interesting characters inside Rily’s head.  They were called Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust and Fear.  They were the best people inside Riley’s head. 

When the movie was finished we went to Sylvia Park Mall to have dinner.  For dinner I had a mince and cheese pie, but the rest of my family had a burger each and a big cookie.  My pie was yum and my family said that their burgers and cookies were yum too. 

After eating we went to the shop to buy a big cake for Daddy’s birthday.  We bought Daddy a big chocolate cake.  Then we went home to eat the cake.  Later, while we ate the cake, we watched TV.  After watching TV we went to sleep.  That was the best day ever.  I hope someone in my family has a birthday in the next lot of holidays.

Doing Science

In the holidays I played with my brother.  His name is Shivay.  He is older than I am, but we get to go to the same school.  We did some Science together.  We made a 3D swimming pool.  We made it out of paper and we used a little bit of water. 

We also used different coloured markers and paint.  We squeezed the paint onto the brush.  The markers were green, yellow, blue, pink and red.  When it was finished we looked at it through 3D glasses.  It looked different using the 3D glasses.
