On Friday a week ago right when we were doing our free writing Friday, Whaea Deb told us to go get our bags and shoes. No one got their hats except for Carly Kylan and Ryan. I felt like my heart was beating so fast. When we had gone across the road we went through a gate and walked up a steep hill. When we got up the hill we had stopped for some morning tea. Then   about a quarter of the school had gotten picked up so we kept on going. And we got all the way up the hill and then that's right when my dad comes and picks me and my sister up so I had to run all the way back down again. And my sister. When we got in the van my belt was stuck behind the door so I had to open up the door but not fall out because it was a matter of life and death. When we got home Nova was begging my dad to ring mum so he finally rang her because he was sick of her whining. When my dad rang my mum my sister stole my dad's phone then one of my dad's friends came over. I was worried when I heard the car noise because I thought that it was a huge giant wave but then I realised that it was just a car. At my nan's on okahu road where my mum was with her 27 children, Kalanio and the screaming baby Mikasa she always has big  tantrums. When my brother was at school my dad had come in and got Kalani’s bag so he signed off Kalani and he zoomed off in their van so Kalani finished eating. The bridge was surged  up so my dad didn’t want to risk it. I was sad that I didn’t get a sausage sizzle but at least I was safe at home with my sister and dad. I hope everyone else was okay too.

Big feelings korero        

In the whare a lady called Cat was talking  about big feelings. Each person has heaps of feelings, some people have mad feelings some have sad some people are always happy. You    anxious annoyed and rejected like Cat was when she was little because they moved of  the farm. She thought  her mum was too busy new baby and her dad wasn't coming over to pick her up because they didn't live on the farm any more. In the hall Tame, Charlie and Millan volunteered to be a bit embarrassed It was so funny!!!  Tame wore  a skeleton suit ,Charlie wore a mood  mask and Millan wore some funny glasses.

Weekend story

On the weekends I went up to my nan's and you can see everything from up there.You can nearly see the whole of Awanui. Me my mum and my brother and sister were staying at my nan's house for the night because it was crate day and my dad had heaps of people over. My other nan and my mum were playing darts my mum couldn't do anything with baby so she brought my big brother so he could look after Mika so then my mum won't have to worry about her. When they got back it was about quarter to ten and I was still awake reading a book.

Beach Education trip

Yesterday we rushed onto Richard's bus to go to the surf lifesaving club. To me it felt like a long as trip. When we got there we were learning a new song about how not to get sunburnt. we also learnt that we have to be in reach of an adult and have to swim between the flags. We learnt that if your in trouble you can put your hand up and also we learnt that rip's are green,green is mean and white's alright. We played a game called sandy monkeys and beached whales it was splendid.

camp

on Wednesday I was so excited for camp because................ everyones fantastic parents would be coming and we would be doing heaps of incredible activities, I couldn't wait for the massive slippen slide, but when we got there I was as scared as a mouse. My sleeping buddys were going to be Mihi,Anahera,Jordyn and Tame but then Anahera and Tame became our next door neighbours. The first day of the incredible camp I didn't exactly want to leave the cabins but then when they said that we were going to do the splendid activities that's when I got out of the cabin. When we did the activities the first one I did was kayaking. First I was scared but then I got the hang of it I went under the bridge and it was so extroadinary. I didn't like the slippen slide but I loved everythig else. The last day when we did the sandcastle contest I was afraid of what I should make I was thinking a vampire but I went with a spider and I won!!!
