The Great Museum Trip

It was an ordinary holiday Monday in bed, being rudely awoken by my sister’s arguing. I just wanted too go somewhere else today. If only I could get a break from here.

I finally stood up to a beautiful sunny day but I was still grumpy. “Aaaahhhhh Mondays”, I yawed as I was going into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I wished to go to the museum that day, but just when I thought my luck was out ,my mum said that she has $150 dollars to spend at the museum ,and she wanted to take me. How did you get that mum? I asked with amazement, she said she got it as a gift from her friends, It was a voucher, “sweet luck”,I whispered.

YES we had reached our destination, the museum. As I got out of the car I could feel a nice breeze come past me, It felt good. I could see the imposing building up above. I had to walk up a hill to get to the entrance but that was okay, what a treat!

I finally entered in and saw lots of interesting things, I could see, exhibits and sculptures. I was excited to go around and go learn some new stuff.

Me and mum went around the museum and went looking at exhibitions, but the thing I liked most was looking at the Pacific part of the museum, It had tapa mats from Tonga, Samoa and I think Fiji. My mum was really fascinated in how the navigators found land. I was interested in the patterns on the the tapa mats because some had colour and some had black patterns.

Finally after all that walking and looking around, we went to the gift shop. It looked amazing, I could see coats, bags, clothes, jewelry, lollies, shells, bears ( not real ones though) and posters. After looking around plenty of times, in the end I bought a shell,bear, lollies and a pen.

I was glad that I had purchased some items, so I exit the museum with my mum. When we had got to the car I put a lolly in my mouth,“YUMMY!” I said.

Back to School !

As you all may now tomorrow I am back too school and learning new things, but I am actually glad to go back too school because I want too see my friends and have fun. In my holidays I have gone too places and had cool new experiences.

I like the first day of terms because you learn what your new topic is and also get to have trips, new experiences and learn new things during the term. I don't know about everybody else, but that's what I like.

Indian Fiafia

Fiafia night was awesome! I was in the Indian group and our dance was great,I felt nervous at first, but when I got on stage I felt calm and relaxed and when the music had started to play and we had did our first move the crowd started too cheer . It was a wonderful feeling too be up on stage and dancing.

I my dancing group was Mubasshira, Ala , Sylvia, Toreka and me. Mubasshira was our dancing teacher and she is only a year 6 at Point England School. we added some of the moves and Mubasshira did the rest.

I had a lot fun learning and preforming the dance!

Cross Country

It was an ordinary Wednesday morning and as usual I walked in to school. But today was no ordinary day, today was Cross Country . This came unexpectedly. I was shocked, but luckily I had come prepared for this day because I've been coming prepared for three days already!

"This is a shambles", I murmured, nerves had started to come unexpectedly as the race was about to start. After that I said to myself "I can do this", soon I felt confident.

I stood up. My heart was pounding, I thought I had conquered all these nerves. Well theres no turning back now, I said.

BANG ,all the other girls took off with a burst of speed, but I had not, I was coming last, but that didnt matter because I was jogging, at that momment I realised my friends were behind me so I wasnt coming last.

My heart was pounding wildy, as I was exhausted. I was near halfway , me and my friends were still jogging because we wanted to save up energy for the finish line. I was desperate to cap,e up in the top ten but at this rate I dont think I am going to make it.While I was jogging I had noticed that there were alot of girls behind me because they all sprinted at the start.

I could feel the sticky mud rubbing between my toes.

Finally the finish line was in sight. I had gone through the playground, "i'm nearly there ", I said to myself, the finish line I had gathererd mommentum for the last sprint. Now was the time to use it.

The multitude seemed to get louder and louder by the minute. I closed my eyes when I crossed the finish line. I had crossed the finish line. I had opened my eyes and my friend Sylvia tapped me on the shoulder and said that we had come the 9th equal.

"At last", I shouted at the top of my lungs I had come up in the top 10 for my very first time in Cross Country. I was very proud and tierd at the same time.

Kiwis!

Some birds can fly high up in the air-kiwis can’t. Most birds are beautifully bright coloured-but Kiwi’s aren’t. There’s even a bird that can swim in the icy cold water down in Antartica-Kiwi’s wouldn’t even do that.

It’s not that they’re all big or they’re really small. The littlest kiwi is called the Little Spotted Kiwi. Only 1350 are in on Kapati Island. This species is smaller than a normal rugby ball.


The average size is only about the size of a normal size rugby ball. But these Kiwis can be really big. The Great Spotted Kiwi is the biggest kiwi of all and its 45 centimeters and there are over 22,000 Great White Kiwis in the whole of New Zealand.


I suppose you wouldn’t call them beautiful or dazzling. Their color is very dull and plain brown, and they’ve even got rough skin, while lots of them have the most ridiculous 20cm bill that sticks out in the front of their body. Imagine giving them a Hongi!


Most people think that Kiwi’s have no wings. They do! If you look underneath their brown plain plumage you will find their wings.Their wings are the size of your PINKY! Can you believe it?


Kiwis have a nice sense of smell. They can also put the tip of their beck which is there nose, three centimeters down in to the ground and smell worms and insects. they then grab their prey from underground, and eat it.


How could you possibly resist a, big fat,nocturnal,plain, plumaged, ugly looking, flightless bird?

If Kiwi’s aren’t cool, Then I don’t know what is?

Memories

Well this picture was taken way back in 2006 (I think!) well if you look closely I am at the back holding my jumper while everybody is taking a picture and smiling. I was at the back all sad, because I got told off by a teacher for doing something, I don't remember what for. All my friends were in that photo, but I didn't know them back then. I was even too shy to talk to them.

Well we were there because we were on a trip that was called the Art Alive Tour. Whenever I look at this photo, it brings back memories. This photo was taken four years ago. Wow that sounds like a long time ago.

I found this picture on 2006 achrives room six.
