Moving To Wellington Part 1.

Packing up was harder than I thought. Feeding the bag  squashing everything into it. I look down at the message on the box my friend Hazel gave me it said:


Friends are like stars you may not always see them but you always know that they are there.


I saw all the other stuff my friends gave me A tear fell down my cheek. I look across the room to see Arielle sitting on her bag. 


"Let's go!" I heard mum say cheerfully across the Kitchen. I was definitely not in a cheerful mood. I took my bag and walked through the stench of janola and said 


"Goodbye Christchurch"


Driving all the way to picton was not the most awesome thing to do in the world but I had no choice. We sat down in a little cafe in some little town that if you drive past it you blink and it's gone. I was eating my crepe very slowly. It was a cute little cafe with a pond and it had the sound  of a waterfall as you eat your food. When we finally left sitting back into the car I was in a bit more in  a happier mood than before. 


We drove up to the motel that was in the middle of nowhere. Me my brother and Arielle shared a cabin room thing and everyone else in another. We had a little snack and it was of to bed. I slept like a new born baby. I heard my dad knoking on the door saying penny penny penny he got that of the big bang theroy. I got dressed and of to breakfast.


I was full from breakfast all the pancakes I ate. Seeing the huge ferry and water just made everything worse.

Matariki

Matariki  is the begining of the Maori new year. And we have been celerbrating by creating art. In room 13 we have been creating Matariki panels to celerbrate matariki!

We had to divide our board that we painted black into three sections. Top one represents new growth, secound one you or your whanau (family) and bottom one matariki.

My first section is a sun and a koru growing. My next section is my family the biggest pattern is my dad and the other little patterns the rest of my family my three sisters me and my brother. Finally my bottom one is a marae and a kite flying in the sky. beacause at Matariki people fly kites.

When we had all our designs ready on our paper we had to tape up our board with masking tape. And put all our great ideas on the board. We cutted out our designs and we painted our board bright colours.

I really like my panel I think it looks really creative and colourful and I worked really hard on it. 

Scorpion

I learnt how to do a scorpion the other day! If you don't know what it is her is a picture.....

Singapore The Cleanest City In The World.

Imagine having no chewing gum or you will be arrested,Or not being able to spit or litter, Have you ever thought about why those goverment people wear those wigs? Well today I learnt from Ryley's government slide show that you are not aloud to spit or chew chewing gum. And Nicole her slide show about those people wearing those wigs. Our teacher told us that we had to find  out what would happen if you found a chewing gum wrapper what would happen to you? and why they wear those wigs.Well those  people wear those wigs to show their maturity and wisdom, Older people who had white wigs were wiser, More mature and knowledeable The longer the wig the more important you are. I could not find out about the chewing gum one but I found a video about it here is the link........

Fun Run

You know just beacause you put the word fun infront of run does not make it fun! Like how last Wednesday we had our school fun run. A fun run is were you dress up really goofy and it's  pretty obvious you run and collect sponsors to do so.

Our class theme for the fun run was sports player or just up like your a Netball player or something. So I went as a tennis player I didnt have a great outfit but Renee did and she won best outfit. We got dressed at morning tea and was looking at everyones outfits it was very cool
after morning tea it was time to make our way to the top field.

We got told what to do and were to run and how much laps we had to run which was 5k. We waited for our turn to run and finally it was our time to run. I kept on running and running and running but after like 40 minutes it semt like forever but I finally did it yay,that is the last time I run 5k.

Well after all the hard work it sure did pay of! I don't know how much I raised but im sure glad that it is over!

Jumps and Splits

Yesterday I had to go to cheerleading and we had to do alot of jumps and splits. We did pike jumps toe touches along with splits I nearly got all of them.

OWWW!!!

It was about a month ago since I slammed my middle finger in the car door! Although it didn't hurt that much because I have slammed my finger in the car door so many times I have just gotton used to it.

After that stupied thing happend I found out my nail was coming of! I asked my dad about what I should do  but he was not much help  he just told me to ask my Mum so I did and she just told me to put a plaster on it so I did.
But  before I thought it would be a smart thing to take my paster of .When I was gonna play a rough game of dodge ball.  I got hit really hard on the same hand as my sore finger and it started to bleed and pretty bad to. so I had to leave that game of dodge ball and go get a new plaster.

But just last night I started to get sick of my stupied nail so I asked my Mum if I could take it of she said that I can it would just be really painful. I got the nail clippers and took that sucker of. She was right it was painful but not as painful as I thought it would be.

So what I learnt and I had to learn the hard way is to try be more careful around doors because if you don't you might have to suffer what I had to go through. And trust me you do not want to have your nail come of!
