In the weekened

On Saturday my uncle, cousin and I have a sneaky breakfast down at the bakeries then traveling to the farm to feed the animals (pigs, sheep,cows,goat) we had to re-located the pigs in the hot sun down the hill more after the dogs (misty and fatty) got let out they started chasing the chicken all the way down the hill by the road we tried to call them back but one dident and went to close to the road and the car came across hit misty to the ground we all stood them look for five second runing down to get her misty was crying for help my uncle carrying her and we put bandage around her leg giving her all the attention. riding back in the front seat with me laying down sadly, last night was the best as she layed with me all night hopping to get better. looking in the morning how sad she was but lucky worst happened to her.

Weekend

So in the weekend on Saturday my mum had a work breakout with hers mate that works with her, we had it at the kawakawa bay of island collage pools we booked the whole place out and even the basketball courts. we set up early in the morning like 9 o clock, people started to arrive with plates of food, there was a table of snacks and food for the kids when they are hungry it was yummy tasting the cakes, popcorn, chocolate, we swam for 6 hours straight we were playing games in the pool with balls and toys  but at night ... we meet this girl called Kiara she was one on my mums mates daughter  we were in the room watch videos, playing games, eating junk food. We transferred room and laugh at, too each other until a little girl named leilai walked in making penny wise eyes at us so us three ran out of the room were we found Thomas he was talking about how this was a spirit living in the house we were scary but we dident really care so we went back in the room and I some how got stuck in the couch so ocean and kiara turned the light on me and shut the door I screamed and ran out. 

Kapa Haka National

Tuesday at 9 o clock we had a full bus travel to Hamilton for kapa haka nationals, the trip was long and loud music playing in the background with people talking. We were pretty excited to go for a swim at the pools until we got stuck in traffic and that took our swimming time away. But at least we got to do it on our way home after the mean performance. Te rau pou manawa o kawakawa  performed in front of hundreds of people and we were there to support. Hearing their voices gave me chills by watching them you could tell that they have practiced a lot. We stayed at Te Aratiatia te marae in Fairfield collage and the inside was full with unique designs that cover the marae. We also went to see te rau pou manawa at their marae were we saw Kingston waiting for us. The hangi we had for dinner was beautiful, especially the dessert.

My movie

Last term on the last week of school we got given time to plan our movie we were going to make for the next term the filing we had edited was very interesting I am saying that because the way people think differently coming up with ideas to present a movie and what there doing or making. we have to present our movies in front of the class hoping to be picked to the next round showing the whole school watching everyone movie was great making stopmotion, green screen, panit 3D and more but we have all voted of what movie should go to the movie festival.

Tuia writing

We have been learning about what have happened around Mecary Bay, on bored and off shore we each had to pick a character about what they done in the day the bomd went off after that we had to pick a object and pretend that we are the object of the day. It was pretty easy to get the information for the cards  at the back not really hard 

Hoildays

For the two week holidays that I have enjoyed with friend and family, the days that are now memories. One of my favorite day is the second week when I nearly stayed at my friend house for almost a week  with another friend we played around on our device and watch movie and stay up late  and I mean late like 3:00 am late and my other friend payton we listen to music and play hid and seek outside in the dark and spot light and making each other laugh and watching horror movie it was fun but scary atleast we had yummy snacks and my friends even came to my house but all we done was dacing and playing with my annoying sisters and watching more scary movies and have lollies and spring rolls but its good that we spend time together becaues we are all going to different school next year for collage and it will be good if we had some memories

Fun Run 2019

On Monday we walked to the train from our school to catch a ride to the local UK rugby fields for our fun run, Once we got there we huddled in our house group there was red for Waiomio, blue for Ngapipito, yellow for Tuamarere and orange for tirghanga. I was in red so each group had to say there chant as a chant off we had flags to supposed our team. As we ran we have to go junior to senior it took forever to get to the 12 year old but once we were called up and blow the horn everyone raced across the sore rocks to the padack with alot of mudd it was fun having a mud fight at the end but it was cold as we got to the train but make sure you comment and like my post plez ok bye

The mirror in our new house are giving me creepy vides each time I look thought the clear reflection glass, There is a figure that is covered with a thin layer of silk I'm always questioning what lays behind the tall gost. I slowly looked back to see the door slam right in front of my face and a box fell moving the sheet of one corner, I dont know why I was not afraid but I felt like the mirror was calling me I grabbed the slit piece of the sheet and pulled it down what I saw so unbelievable, a painting stood there with a girl in a dress with tears coming down she looked pretty BUT WAIT...

People on the mainland look and the Wormwood family a banded house just because it was made outside of town in a hill and it looked broken on the outside but in this house was a family with secrets. Each night people peek out there window to explore the light for the rusty old house as one person walks out of the house in pitch black clothes as people saw the black figure strolling towards the forest they wonder if it`s only one person or more but you will never know.

Rocket challange

Today for our rocket challenge we are designing and making our own rocket, we had cut out our wings out from ice-cream containers and made a cone from the top of another bottle, we have to wrap tape around the bottle to get a good cut. We had to glue everything with a hot glue gun, we had to change the top wings fast because it was the wrong size and wrong design. It was pretty fun making them and next week I think we are launching them with matua pete. But please comment on my post bye.

There was a house for sale at the abandoned forest I thought I should check it out, I was a pretty scary ride on the way there, the road was so wiggly and bumpy and trees were blocking the sun making it a long dark shade at the end on the road as a gate that opened by trolls as the car stopped at the entrance  The house look like a million years old the window was dirty the wood was rusty but the door like like nothing harmed it it was white as a cloud. The magic trapped in the house exploded in my face the joyful happy looking house and one of the room was filled by book everywhere you look is books.

Hour till I reach my destination, feels like I was walking for my whole life. The mountain was higher than the sky and wider than the sea to hard to look far away The mountain of High Hrothgar had stood proudly for thousands of years, casting a solemn shadow for miles around. Few dared to venture close to its base, let alone scale its heights, fearing what awaited at the summit. For one brave adventurer, the folk lore surrounding the mysteries of High Hrothgar provided an opportunity just too tempting to resist. Some called him courageous, others foolish, but it mattered not to him now.

She stares at the water Confucius of the event that is going on with her parents, thinking what will happen next. As a fiugar hit the surface making a loud CRASH! the cloud became grey the wind became wild the effect of light set low.“You can’t leave without me! Where are you going?” The words came out like a squeak her throat felt tight as she struggled to fight back the tears that had begun to stain her pale cheeks.Mud was now splattered up the front of her dress as she stumbled over the sodden ground. A feeling of overwhelming panic and despair filled her trembling body.

The engine screamed as the wheels spun round. His heart pounded. Tim knew that he only had seconds to act. There was a long, moss-covered log wedged underneath the jeep, preventing it from moving. The wheels continued to spin pointlessly, smoke starting to billow out from underneath the bonnet, A terrifying roar filled his ears, and he knew the monster was right behind him. He could feel the ground shake beneath him as its gigantic feet collided with the ground. He knew what would happen if it caught him, and muttered a prayer beneath his breath. Tim suddenly found himself lunging forward. He released that the wheels must finally have found some traction, and he breathed out with relief as he sped off onto the path once again; the wheels of the jeep content to be chewing up the firm gravel once again.

It was a strange town with strange people in site, that was more then a hundred maybe more stars and moons shining bright.

It seemed like an impossible task. Keeping each lantern alight took focus and determination from the whole army of volunteers.

They were almost ready it was almost time

My dream 

As I was gazing down the track as it expanded as far as my eyes could see, I was walking for miles still no way out, it was like a never ending hallway, there was green everywhere you look , she trys busting her way through the thick green trees she notices it was hopeless so see carries on. she sees massive foot steps going in the same way as her was heading she was curious to know what else is in here with her, she hears noises coming for a distant she stood her ground waiting
