Wow! That was really fun!

 On Friday my dad took my siblings and I to chipmunks near Pakuranga Plaza. When we got there I went straight to the Super Ball Blaster. When I was there, I had to go to the ground and use the buckets to put the small colourful balls inside. Then go back up to the Super Ball Blaster and place them into a small hole on top of the gun and press down on the button which will then shoot out the ball.

After playing the Super Ball Blaster for a while, I went to the park with my two sisters. We went on the big red slide which seemed dark and long. After that we were thirsty and luckily my dad brought us drinks. They were cold, tasty and really refreshing.

I made some friends at Chipmunks. We played tag. Tag was fun because we were all chasing, running and screaming really loud. Sometimes, I get confused who the tagger was because there a lot of children playing with us.

I was tired and sweaty when I was preparing for the tagger. The tagger found me and started chasing me. I was running fast like an animal running for it’s life.

After that, some of my friends left. Then we had some lunch, I had a basket loaded with yummy hot chips and some tasty nuggets. I ate slowly because I didn’t want to get a stitch when I play.When we got home, I took a nice, refreshing shower because I was hot tired and sweaty.

I really enjoyed having lots of fun at the Super Ball Blaster. I thanked my dad for taking us there. I hope next time, I’ll try to make more time for me to eat so I don’t get hungry when I play because I got hungry after playing at the park.

On Wednesday 28th of July, our basketball team from St Patrick’s school went Tamaki Recreation centre straight after school for our basketball game. Our game was against Pt. England red.

The game was aggressive and time went by really quickly. I didn't think the game was fair. They put two tall boys on in the first half and the second half of the game.

I had  fun running with the ball and passing it to my team mates and we skilled them with handling the ball. So we could score. However we did not score because they were fast fast and good dribblers.

The awesome player in our team was Dohn, Glen and Siu, because they used their skill and techniques really well by getting past the other team  and stealing the ball.

The other team was the same, they also stole a lot of balls from us. As time went by, we scored some more goals. However we did not win.

Even though we lost, I thought we were winners because we used the skills that we learnt at training to score some goals.

I had fun playing  on the court  because it made me feel like a professional player.

Next time, I will try to call for the ball and train more at school and at home.       

Better luck next time!

On Wednesday, our basketball team played against Point England at Recreation centre at Tamaki college.  St Patrick’s were wearing green. Point England were wearing red. First we had some warm ups. Our first warm up  that we had to run up and down the court because we didn't have a basketball.

When Shawn arrived, he gave out the basketballs for us to use. We had a quick practise game before our competition game started. 

When it was time for us to go to the court, we went straight to Michael so he could chose the players that were going to be on the court  to start us off.

when all our five players were on court, the game started. Half way through each game, we would have subs and then the game would start again. At the end of the game  we were all tired, puffy and sweaty. The final score was 22 to us 34 to Point England.

Sadly, we lost the game, How ever I did manage to have some fun. Next time, I will try to pass the ball out more and take more shots.

Have you played Roblox before?

On Thursday I was not at school because I had a sore tooth. My dad and I went to Sylvia Park to have some yummy breakfast. I could only eat with the right side of my jaw because of my soar tooth.

I had pancakes with syrup and melted butter. Then we both ate crispy bacon, steak and eggs. Then after my yummy breakfast, we went to buy my dad and I a drink from the vending machine.

I got a can of Fanta and drank it I said, "It was so refreshing". Then we went home. When we got home, I asked if I could go on the Laptop to do some Homework. I practised E-ako, Read Theory and Xtramath. Then I played some games when I finished. I played some games on Roblox. My favourite one was Darkness 2. It’s about a group of survivors trying to defeat the evil beast. Whoever kills the beast will earn 100 points for the survivors’ team. By using the points they can buy a different gun that they can use to defeat the beast.

After a while, I got bored so I watched a cartoon. The cartoon was Tom and Jerry. Tom is a cat and he has 10 lives, but he kept on losing his lives because Jerry, the mouse who pulled deadly tricks on Tom.    

Tom knew a magic spell that would help him catch Jerry (His little mouse rival). But the mouse was too fast to be caught by him and the ghosts. After that it was time to go and pick up my two sisters from school with my dad. I felt sad because I missed out on a couple of episodes. However I did have some laughs when I watched Tom and Jerry.

I'm glad I had the day off to rest and I hope I don’t have to stay home again with a sore tooth.

Inside out.

On Saturday my dad, two sisters and I were at home waiting for my mum to come back home at 5:00 o'clock. My dad went on his laptop and printed out tickets online for 2 adults and 3 children.

When my mum got back from work, we got dressed and drove to the Hoyts cinema at sylvia park. We ordered our drinks and some popcorn. We waited for the attendant to tell us when to go in.

Finally our movie was ready to start and we walked in to theatre 3. We sat down on our nice, warm comfortable chairs and then the movie started. The movie that we watched was about the emotion of a girl.

There were little people who controlled her feelings. They were all named after their emotion. There was joy,sadness,anger,fear and disgust.

In the theatre the speakers were loud as if a  DJ was there.  We ate and drank our own popcorn and drink during the movie.

I felt happy at the end of the movie because Riley got all her memories back. They were called memory cores.

I had fun at the movies. Next time I’ll try eat less food and pay more attention to the movie because I missed out on some parts of the movie.

Rest in peace, uncle!

On a sunny Sunday, my mum dad and I went to a funeral. One of my dad’s family members had died. He died from an illness. He had his funeral at the church he used to attend. All my cousins and relatives came to the funeral as well.

After we have arrived for a while, we walked into the church and sat down on some wooden, hard seats. We sat down silently so we would not disturb the peace and quiet. I sat down with my mum and dad. I looked at the parents and the kids, I could recognise some of their faces, from my uncles house last year.

When the church started, my auntie and her children went up and told some stories about my uncle of when he was alive. They all took turns and some of them cried a little but They were all strong enough to finish their readings.

After that some people came with colourful flowers and pictures of my uncle to decorate the coffin. 

Then we went to the hall for a feast. After our feast people went to the graveyard. We didn't go because I was hungry so we walked to a man and he told us where we could go. It was nice of him to give us directions.

When we got to the shops we walked back to our car and ate. I ate my pie and chocolate cookies. After they came back we had to go to some ones house. When we got there, one of them thanked all of us for coming to the funeral.

After all that, we went straight home. I went to sleep because it was a long tiring day.

I felt sad that he died but glad he went to heaven.   

Best time of my life!

Sunday was awesome, because I got to go to Rainbow's End with my cousin, uncle, auntie and my other cousins friend from college.

When they arrived at my house we got in the car and I said "Bye!" to my family.
Then we drove off and we went onto Motorway. It was a long really long ride so we ate the ice creams that my uncle had already prepared for us. We also had music to keep us entertained.

When we got to Rainbow's End, my cousin,auntie,uncle and I went on the Roller coaster.The Roller coaster. The Roller coaster went really fast and it was a very long Roller coaster. 

After the Roller coaster ride, we went to the bumper boats. I got wet from all the splashing  around, So the man that worked at Rainbow's End gave me a towel.

Then we went to the fear fall. I was scared so I took a few deep breathes In and out. It looked very high and scary. Soon it was our turn. It went up really high, Then we dropped down really fast!. Then we went on the bumper carts. They went fast but some went slow. I was finally tall enough to reach the pedals. It was a challenge but we had a tie. After the bumper carts, we had some lunch. I shared my lunch with my cousin. After all the fun, we went back home and I said "Thank you for inviting me to come and have fun". Then they went back home.

Next time I will try and not get wet in the bumper boats. I like the part when we got to the Fear fall because it came down really fast.  

Awesome day at the beach!

Saturday was a great day, because my family relatives and I went  to the beach at Long Bay. We packed up some food,swimming togs and most importantly sun block and hats.

 We got in the car and drove to the gas station because the car was running low.  Then we where back on the road. When we go to Long Bay, we had some food because we were hungry. Than we changed into our swimming togs and ran  into the water. My sisters and cosines had a water fight  because we brought water guns with us.

After our swim, we had barbecue chicken. After we ate all our food, we played volley ball , I didn't want to play volley , so I played with my cosine John and my friend Mickey . We played tiggy. John was in and we ran away as fast as we we could. we hid on top of a tree but John found us and so we went back to the tent,

Than It was time to go home. We packed everything back into our cars and then we said goodbye! to everyone. Than we all got back home. When we got home I was tired from all the fun we had. 

My favourite part was when we had a water fight in the water. I am looking forward to going to the beach next time to have more fun with my family.

My really disgusting drink with ants!

My disgusting drink of coca cola with ants inside.

After school, my dad and I went to the dairy to buy a can of coca cola. I opened my drink of coca cola and drank it.

My toungue felt something  small and I put my finger on my tongue and I picked it out. It was an ant.

My dad saw the ant and said “Wipe your hands with a tissue”. So I wiped my hands and I looked into my drink and

I told my dad that there was a lot more ants inside my drink. So my dad told me to put my drink inside the bin.

My dad said “I’ll buy you a new one”. I replied “Thank you dad”.

There weren’t any ants in the second can of coca cola. I really enjoyed my drink but I might choose a different fizzy drink next time.
