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.       

The gamers are back!

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.

YAY, I want to go there again!

On Friday 3rd of July, our school Saint Patrick's school (Panmure) had the most awsome opportunity to go to Aotea to see the people of the most awsome arts in the city. We all had buddies. We had to take car of them when we went to the city because it was really dangerous in the roads. We got there by bus. It was exciting.

The end.

I like the part where we got to see the people who performed moved there body's to the song and changing there body's into different shapes.

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.

Nice to meet you!

On Friday my family and I went to pick up my aunties and uncle from the airport. When we arrived, we saw my dad's sister. She was waiting for her sister to arrive with her daughter.

We sat on the cold seats. I felt excited because I was going to meet my uncle and aunties.  When they came out from the exit door, I walked to the other side with my sister to meet them. 

I felt even more excited after I saw them. We said to them,  "At last you arrived safely." One of my aunties had to go with my uncle and the priest to prepare for the wedding. My other auntie came with us back home.

When we got to my comfortable home, I went to my bed and prayed, "Lord thank you for looking after my aunties and uncle. Thank you for keeping them safe. Amen."

I had a good dream that night that my family and I could fly anywhere in the world.

My awsome game on Saturday!

I went to my rugby game on Saturday. We played against Carlton Grammars at Varsity’s rugby field. When the referee blew his whistle at the start of the game, we kicked the ball towards the other team. They caught the ball and we ran forward so we could get back the ball.

We got the ball back by chasing and tackling the other team. My team mate ran forward with the ball and I called for the ball. Then he realised that he was about to be tackled so he passed it to me.  I caught the ball and ran through the other team so I could get a try.

Luckily I scored a try because I side-stepped them. I heard my dad cheering for me when I scored a try. All My team-mates came up to me, jumped on me, hugged me and congratulated me when I scored the try, because that won us the game.

When the game was finished, my team-mates mum gave us some oranges to eat. After that, our coach announced the player of the day. It was my team-mate and I was the player of the day. I was very proud of myself.

We went home after the prize giving. I took a nice, warm shower. When I finished showering, I was tired so I went to sleep. I wrapped myself with a blanket.

I thought I was awesome in the game. It was the best game ever for me. Everyone in my team was very proud and very happy. I hope that we will be lucky enough to win the next game as well.

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.
