Our Family Gathering

On the weekend I went to my cousin's mum's house because my cousin's dad's mum was going to Samoa.  My cousin's name is Cameron and we go to the same school, but Cameron is older than me.  He is in Room 8.  We went to spend time with my cousin's family and farewell his Grandmother before she went to Samoa.  

My family and I drove to Cameron's mum's house in Williams Cresent. When we got there we all went inside and sat in the sitting room, and talked to each other.  There were a few people there already and then more people arrived.  I talked to my brother Xavier and my cousin Cameron.  We talked about the trampoline outside.  We wanted to go outside and play on it.  We said that maybe we will be able to play on the trampoline another weekend.  That would be great!

After talking for awhile we ate KFC and potato with gravy and chips, and cold slaw chicken (ck).  We also had a drink to go with our food.  Before we ate we said a prayer to thank God for the food that we had to eat.  We talked as we ate our food.  I liked eating the potato topped with gravy the best.  It tasted good.  

Later we left to go home.  Then I did my homework and went to sleep.  I like getting together with my family.

Visiting My Mum's Workplace

On Tuesday I went to my Mum's workplace.   I went with my Mum, my older brother Xavier and my older cousin Cameron.  We are all at Saint Patrick's School.  

First we went and picked up my aunty Angel from her house. Then my Dad dropped us off at the train station.  Next we got into a train and we went into the city.  At the city train station we walked to McDonald's .  At McDonald's I had a hash brown and a hot drink.  I got the hot drink from the machine.  

After we had finished eating at McDonald's we walked to my Mum's workplace and we had a look around.  Then we saw lots of paintings of Maori people from the olden days.  My favourite painting was of a Maori chief because he had a tattoo on his face.

Then two men arrived and they put chairs around the room. One of them danced and one of them sang.  After that we went went to a cafe and I had a drink and my Mum had a cake.  

Later it started to rain so finally we went caught a bus back home. My Cameron stayed for a sleep over with us and my uncle Poppop came and picked up my auntie Angel and dropped her at her home.  I had an awesome day and I can't wait to go to my Mum's workplace again!!

On Saint Patrick's Day

On Friday it was Saint Patrick's Day, so it was our feast day because our school is called Saint Patrick's School.  We had a very busy day. 

First thing in the morning we went to church.  At church we knelt and prayed to God.  We also sang songs to God and Jesus.  After church we went back to school.  It was morning tea time.  I played tag and Ofa was in.  Next Miss Bullot put us into teams for the games.  Our team leader was Glen.

The first game I went to was number six.  It was with Miss Chao and it was called 'Steal the Emerald and the Gold'. Glen had the first turn and then the little people had a turn. Then it was the big people's turn and it was my turn.  Lastly it was my brother's turn.  His name is Xavier.  The second game was with Mrs Twomy and the thrid game was with Mrs Dines.  The fourth activity that I did was making and decorating planes for Irish Airways.

After playing our games and doing some art and craft activities the bell rand and we all sat under the tree and had ice blocks.  Then the Room 8 children said Grace and the bell rang.  

Next we went and had our lunch.  For lunch I ate a sandwich and some apples and then we played on our playground and on the field.  I played soccer with my friends Cooper and Chester.  When the bell rang we all lined up and we went back to our classroom.

My Dads' Birthday

On Monday I went to the Sky Tower with my brother Xavier, and my Mum and Dad.  We went there because it was my Dad's birthday.  I ate beans and ice cream.  My Mum ordered cupcakes and we sang Happy Birthday to my Dad.  

After that we went home and we went inside.  When we were inside I turned on the TV and my Dad, Xavier and I watched the the movie 'The Walking Dead'.  Later we had some of my Dad's cake and then we went to bed.
