On the day of Waitangi me and my family went to Waitangi 2012, to celebrate Bob Marley’s birthday too, when we got there me my uncle and his family was waiting for my mum, auntie,
my brother and our cousin.
We took photos by the lake and the rides and the main stage, I waited by the lights for my mum and auntie. We saw them coming to the lights, waiting. “WOW” said my cousin Melanie as we walked towards the main stage, I was so excited because there was lot’s of rides and we got to listen to music. When we walked to find a spot to sit and watch the people that was about to sing and dance. I spreed out the sheet to sit on and to eat, when me and my uncle went for walk we walked into my other uncle called Jordan. Then my uncle asked if he could join us, and my mum said “yes.”

After the running around we had water and some food after all the food I watched one group and it was little girls dancing the little girls said “we are going to dance for yous” and they started dancing and they had 3 songs that was in their remix. After we watched the girls we went and we got free Milo and breakfast because they were giving out Milo breakfast to the people who didn’t have breakfast in the morning. When we got back from eating breakfast we went and got shaved ice with different colours, my colour was red, purple and blue and it was nice. I took 4 shaved ice for my mum, brother, auntie and I, I wanted to go back on the rides after I finished eating my shaved ice, I asked my cousin “do you want to come on the rides with me,” and my cousin said “yes, come on then” so we ran there and we went on this tiger ride it was really awesome.

I told my mum if we can have more of our food before I have a little sleep and then I pulled
out my sandwich's out with my banana and orange. My cousin and I went for a walk to the stage up front, When we came back from the front stage I saw Manu Vatuvei eating with his family.
Then I saw one man asking for his older graph on his hat, my auntie told me to take photo
of him and I did he looked straight at the camera.

My Holiday To Tonga

My Holiday was about me and my Mum going to Tonga with my Mum’s friend and her daughter.
On the day we had to leave to go to the Airport we had to say goodbye to my family. I was so excited to go to see my uncle but I new it would be so hot. I said to my mum “I think we need to get to the airport now or we will be late for our flight.”

When we got to the airport we harried so they can send our bags to Tonga. We nearly missed our plane because we got their late and my auntie was waiting for us. We said “BYE” to everyone that was at the airport and gave our passports to the guy that was standing next to the door to go wait in the waiting room.

Me my mum, Auntie and my little cousin was waiting for the plane to come back. My Mum was taking photo’s of my cousin Shireen and I well we were playing with the cards.

Then we took photo’s well we were waiting to get on the plane, and then the people that was at the desk told as to go to the gates to get in the plane.

Then we walked till we got on the plane and they had this think that you can play on at the back of the chairs. I was so excited because when you go up in the air you get this feeling that your flying. After hours and hours we were in Tonga, when I stepped out of the plane it was really hot instead of cold air it was warm air. I saw my uncle sitting up on the roof were people wait for their family to come out of the plane. We walked inside the airport and it was hot I was standing there really hot. It was night time already we were the last people to get out of the airport.

We drove home and there was little kids looking for pigs, you can see lot’s of pigs walking on the road. My cousin she has a pig and a dog but her dog got ran over and her pig it in her cage. We had to stop at lots of shops because we had to find food for the house.

Flim Festival

My favorite movie was Rm5 because they did the haka at the end. When I watched rm5 I was kind of get tired. Then after rm5 we watched rm18 and when I was looking at my brother's class room
I didn't see him in any of there movies and I was laughing.
I had two little kids beside me and they were singing the songs and I was watching them and they were laughing.
After the last movie we walked out of the movie room and then walked all the way to the bus. I hoped on the bus and one of the little kids tried to run away from me but lucky I went after her and I said to the other girl "stay here well I will go and get the other girl" so she listen. We go all the way to school safely.

Kawau Island

One morning my group called Kawau went sailing for the first time. As we were getting ready to go sailing we saw the first group putting out the food for afternoon tea. When we were getting ready they told us to come and have afternoon tea. I was so excited to go sailing in a little boat but I thought it would be scary for me because I thought I was gonna fall out. When we got there this man called Peter talked to us about safety and told us how to sail the boat.

"Who wants to go solo," Peter asked us. There were four people that were up for the challenge! Ramona was called up to hop in a boat. She sailed the boat out and as she was sailing Peter yelled out, "teller to the sail." Ramona followed his instructions but turned around too early and fell out of the boat with a splash. Finally Peter called the last person to go solo. It was so funny because two people fell out of their boat and I laughed so hard when they did.

After all the solo sailors, Peter told us to get into twos and then find you a boat to sail on. Tui and I grabbed a boat and hopped in it. When Tui and sailed off we passed people who were kayaking. Tui looked behind her and she saw a sting ray!
"Senolita lets hurry and get back were Peter is!" We got back as fast as we could. I think Tui was afraid of the sting ray.

Planet Jupiter

One night before I went to sleep I started reading a book about the planet Jupiter, and as I was reading the book I felt myself getting tired and very sleepy so I put the book away and then I drifted off to sleep. While I was sleeping I heard bizarre noises that I have never heard before, as I opened my eyes to checkout where the bizarre noises were coming from I noticed that I was not in my bed and I was not at home.

I started walking around to try and find help, but it was not a place I had been before, as I was walking I noticed something looking at me but I was not sure what it was, when I moved closer I realized I was not on Earth anymore and this thing I was looking at was not human.

I was very scared but I really needed help to get back home, so I moved closer, and the thing I was looking at was green with a huge head with big round white eyes and a very tiny mouth it also had 3 very very long fingers on each arm and two legs with feet that looked like ducks feet. I tried to talk to the alien but he never spoke back to me so I was thinking maybe he does not speak my language, so I just said to him "PLEASE, PLEASE Help me, I really want to go back home" and he answered me and said "I can help you, please don't be sad I wont hurt you".

I asked the alien if he had a name and a family and he said "my name is Jojo and I want to welcome you to my planet, my planets name is Jupiter, and on my planet we are one big family we do not live like humans but we are happy and we are nice and friendly aliens. I will help you get home "I was so excited and happy that I found someone that will help me get back home, and I said to him "please tell me how to get back to my home" and he said "first you must lie down and fall back to sleep" I said to him "no I am not tired or sleepy I just really want to go home" he said to me "please trust me I just want to help you get home but you have to listen to me" I said "OK then".

So I listened to what Jojo said and I laid down and tried my hardest to put myself to sleep, to do this I had to think of my home and my family, and it was working, I felt myself getting sleepier and sleepier, I then opened my eyes and I was back in my own bed and at home, I sat up and realized it was just a dream and then laid down on my pillow and started thinking about my new friend Jojo that I met in my dreams, I was very happy to be back home and I drifted back off to sleep.

The Holidays

On the holidays I went down the line to see my Nana and put a head stone on her grave yard. Because the first time we went down there we forgot to put a head stone in her grave. When we were travailing down the line we stopped at the gas station to get gas. I was so tried on the way I fell asleep in the back sit. When we got half way we saw my Nana's brother's house so we stopped by to see it, because my Nana would stay at his house for dinner.

Finally we got there and I saw my two uncle's and auntie's and my one cousin that was alone and he had no one to play but know he does. When me and my brother got out he said"come here and we will play the game" and my mum said "don't you have your games at the other house" and he said "oh yes I forgot" when it was around 7:00 we had dinner and we were watching Shortland Street. I went to help my auntie pull out the beds for my family, when we got them out we sat down and had a movie night and it was awesome. When my mum finished having a shower I went in there and my mum told me we are going to their other house. so when I finished they said "let's go now, we are going to auntie's other harry seno" I said "OK." My auntie took my Papa's car and my Papa and Nana and my cousin's took the other car's. It took 1 hour just to get to the other house I was so thirsty and hungry I thought it would take 5 or 10 minutes to get to the house.

Then we went straight to the X-Box 360 we played all his games and it was kind of boring a little beet. I went to ask my mum if I can walk to the shop but there was no shop around here and I said "oh, OK." Then we got ready to go back home and we all said "BYE."
