A day at Parakai Pools.

“Yay let’s begin an awesome day at parakai pools"  I said to Ashley with excitement. Ashley replied back and said “But you know what's not exciting is that it takes 1 hour to get to Paraki” I moaned “why it’s going to be very boring on the bus you know” So then she said “yes I know”. Just in time the bus arrived and we were ready to go ! The school holiday program team hopped onto the bus. Me and ashley sat next to each other and started talking about school

“Ashley are you excited to start school after 2 weeks”? She groaned and said “No I am going to miss the holidays” But then I said “At least you get to see your friends again”  “ I know but I’m tired of talking I went to bed late last night” So then we just sat quietly in the bus for 1 hour !Looking outside the window for 1 hour and day dreaming of what it would look like at Paraki. I imagined that Paraki would have slides and a massive pool just like YMCA. To cut the story short we’ll skip the 1 hour bus drive.

Finally arriving in the carpark of Paraki Pools we all went out and stretched. We walked with excitement  and discovered the beautiful paraki. I was so amazed. There was a big bombing pool outside, 2 awesome slides and a hot spa pool inside ! I wanted to go on the slide straight away ! So then our supervisors said go and enjoy Paraki. I ran to the slides as fast as I can. I got up to the top and took a breath. “uhh I am so tired” It felt very hot inside the slide.

I finally calmed down and went into the slide “ Yay” I shouted as I was going down the slide. It was very fast. I was having so much fun than ever !   I got to the end of the slide and made a big splash. I really wanted to go again. So I went about 24 times until it was lunch time. I was tired now so I had to have a break. Eating my lunch thinking of how hot it would be in the spa pool. I was so eager to know I just had to go in it. So after lunch I went inside and went it the spa pool. “It’s burning my legs it hurts” I said I just wanted to get out so I ran and jumped into the bombing pool. “uhh much better” My legs cooled down and I decided to spend my last 20 minutes on the slide.

Walking over to the slide my sister asked me come and join us were making a long line with Dlyz (one of our supervisors) “Hurray” I said going down the slide with the school holiday team. Enjoying the slides 15 times it was time to leave. It was so sad to leave the Pools. Our bus arrived and 1 hour back home !

Immersion Assembly.

Today is the start of Term 2 and everyone is back at school. Every term we get a new topic to learn about and this term our topic is I like to move it move it. We also have performances from each team about what they are going to learn. The one i'm going to talk about is Team 1.

Team 1 are learning about animal equipment that compare to the equipment they have at school or at home . They had a short snipclip about their learning. The Team 1 teachers even went to the zoo to film. They showed all kinds of different animals like Giraffes, Lions, Zebras and their habitats. There was even a short film of a giraffe coming out of a box because it was transported.  Did you know tomorrow they are going to Auckland zoo  to learn more. That’s so exciting for the second day of school. !

Happy Anzac day !

Today is Anzac day. It's all about remembering the people who fought for our family and our country. It is a very special day and one way to remember them is by wearing a poppy flower. It is a special reminder that they fought for us and one of the places they fought for us was in a poppy field. So that's a very special reminder. There will be a huge ceremony is Auckland Domain to remember the soldiers. It's a service that speaks about the soldiers and our own life and country. At these services always at the end the last words they will say is WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. It means we will remember the people who fought for our lives and our country. SO WE WILL REMEMBER THEM :)

Happy Birthday Nana Oli !

Today is a very special person in my life's birthday. It's my nana's birthday. I wish our whole family could celebrate it but she is in Australia and I live in New Zealand. So our family decided to call her and wish her a happy  birthday to our special nana and mum. Nana I would like to say happy birthday nana. I hope you have a blessed day and may God bless you.

Fia Fia !

Yesterday Pt England school had a awesome night because we had Fia Fia. For people who don't what Fia Fia is it is a 1-2 hour full of performances. The group I performed with was the Hawaiian hula girls. Our tutor was Mrs Eddie and Mrs Ouano. I would describe our dance as a clam and beautiful dance. We had lots of comments on our costume. We had a green hula skirt, red singlet, flower on our hair and two necklaces. We were the most beautiful people. For me it wasn't very scary performing in front of more than 1000 people. It was fun actually fun. I enjoyed dancing and performing.

Through the whole night I will say my favourite was senior hip hop because their dance was very active and had a message to it. The message was to be yourself and don't be the person someone else wants you to be. I enjoyed watching it and there was a bit of laughter to it.  Despicable minions was dancing to the song happy by pharell williams. Fia Fia was awesome !!!!!
