My Long Over Stay

In my holidays I went to my nana’s house in Takanini.

Hayley was supposed to come but she said she would come on Wednesday. The first morning there, was like a regular day at home so we went to see my grandad. It was ok because my grandad and I had a big talk. When I got home I went to my friend’s house and his parents were watching tv so we had a nerf gun war. It was more like a hide and seek game but it was still fun. When Hayley finally came to see nana, we picked her up at the train station. Before she arrived she had promised to give her nintendo ds to me. She did. Yay!

Friday came and apparently Boaza came to see nana too. He said he would come at one or two o’clock. But when we went to meet him at the train station he wasn’t there.  He arrived at about nine thirty. The day after that Tui arrived on the bus.

...I liked staying at Nan’s because my brothers and sister came too...

Tech Timeline 18/6/14

10:30 am

Today will hopefully be the day I will get to draw down my final design and cut the MDF. Sanding the pendant will be the longest job and the most difficult.

11:40 am

I just got Mr Grundy to take me to the saw machine so I could cut the MDF. When I cut it I sort of messed it up.Then Zin way told me what to do when I was finished.

12:15 pm

I have just finished and I gave it to Mr Grundy to pour the pewter in. Sadly he said that he wouldn't have it ready until next week. Other than that I am so proud and excited.

Netball Training

Thursday was our first netball lesson and it was awesome. First off we started doing a warm up by jogging,skipping and even sidestepping from a line to the fence.Then we tried passing high(overhead) and low(fire) to a partner.

The object of the game was to get your partners ankle with the ball. We then played a game that included skill and precision. There was a person holding a hoop and someone else behind them to stop the ball. We  tried to aim and throw the ball through the hoop.If the ball touched the hoop then it didn't count!

The person behind the hoop threw it back to the next person. First the hoop was on the ground then it was up to their chest and after that it was up above their heads. We won all of them.

The Unveiling

It was cloudy on Saturday morning and I was just about to watch some cartoons. Mum woke up and told me to get ready. I had a shower and got my good clothes ready. Dad woke up and told me to have breakfast. My brother got  up and we got dressed. .A few minutes later we had to go pick up my older brother and sister in the city. When we got there it was about 1:11 and it had already started.The first thing I noticed was that my cousins were there so I greeted them. It took about an hour for the service and finished around 2:03.

The headstone was read by my aunty and almost everybody cried.
