Zip lining and swimming! By Summer

In the holidays I went to Rocket Ropes with my mum, dad and April. First, we went on the top and we swung down on the zip line until I got to the other side. I love going to Rocket Ropes. After zip lining, we went down to have lunch. For lunch, we had fish and chips. Mum said that I could have an ice-block after I ate some of my fish and chips. When I had finished my fish and chips I licked the ice-block until I had finished it all up.

After that, we went to the swimming pools. In the entrance, my mum paid for our tickets. Then, we went into the changing room to take a quick shower. I brought a towel with me so that I could dry myself after the shower. Next, I put on my swimming togs and took a dip in the water. I swam and swam back and forth. After time passed by, we got tired and changed back into our home clothes. We got into the car and went back home to watch television.

The Philharmonia Orchestra

The Philharmonia Orchestra

On Wednesday we went to see the Philharmonia Orchestra in the Aotea Centre, in Auckland city.  We were lucky to be invited.  We went in the bus from school.  Most of our school got to go, except for Sister Evalesi and our youngest students.  

After we got out of bus we went inside the Aoatea Centre and lined up outside the door to the threatre.  There we lots of other schools there.  We lined up and waited for the man to let us in.  As we went in the theatre a lady told us where to sit.  We found our seats and after a while the lights were turned off.  It became very dark.  

First a man came on the stage and introduced us to the orchestra.  His name was Owen. The orchestra people played their instruments for us.  They played heaps of pieces of music for us.  We heard trumpets and trombones, and loud drums.  We also heard lots of other instruments.  Our favourite instruments were the trumpets, the drums and the trombone.  This first part of the programme was called Kiwi Kapers.  

The second part of the programme was called Te Manu Ahi.  The dancers lifted each other up in the air.  Some of the dancers spun around.  The music was fast, then slow, and then fast again.  The dancers were awesome! We would like to see them again.
