Braxston's Birthday

"Mum, Dad is it time to go now"? I said. "No not yet son". On Saturday the 3rd of July it was my cousin Braxston's 1st birthday. It was at Pizza Hutt in New Lynn. "Come on can we go now"? "I'm starting to get bored and hungry" I said. "Okay everyone jump in the car" dad said. "Finally!".

When I sat in the car I asked my mum and dad "how long do think it will take us to get there"?. "Just wait" they answered. Next thing you know we're there.

It took us 30 minutes to get to Pizza Hut. "Okay everyone jump out and go inside we're here now"said Dad. "Yeah" I said. "Happy Birthday Braxston". She had a humungous chocolate cake that had one candle sitting in the center of it. After that I went to find a chair (while waiting for my parents).My grandpa blessed the food but we couldn't hear him because there were too many people at Pizza Hutt.

A few minutes later we were eating pizza. I had two pizzas, some chips and Pepsi. It was delicous. "Man Jordan (my brother) I'm finished, are you full"? I asked him. "Naa not yet " he said. Then I asked him "should we get some more"? He said "yeahh" so we went to get one more pizza.

I think everyone had a fantastic time because they were happy, full, and they were thinking of going there again.

Mt.Tarawera

This is a movie that the year 5 and 6 extension group have made. The movie is about the pink and white terraces and about people that wanted to see what it was like in the past.

So please sit back and enjoy the movie. We hope you like it.

Extreme volleyball

Bang! the ball went flying over the net after the player served it.

My family and I were at the ASB Stadium at Selwyn College on Saturday. We were there to play volleyball in a tournament, but it was more like we were there for fun.

Julianna and Kristopher were crying and I had to look after them. Then I said to the twins "stop crying". My mum, dad and brother were busy playing volleyball. After looking after them for 10 minutes I started getting frustrated because they kept crying and crying. "Hang on twins I'll give you some food" I said.

Luckily some of my aunties and uncles showed up to help me look after the twins. But I felt sorry for my aunty Rita who had to sit for a long time holding Julianna.

Volleyball was probably a good experience for my parents and brother because they liked playing it. I even got a chance to play volleyball during the breaks. Even though my parents team (the Niuean Ninja's) didn't win, they had an awesome time.

Twins turn 1

Wow! What a cool party! On Saturday the 12th of June my baby brother and sister (the twins) had their first birthday party.

As soon as the birthday started we sat down and said a prayer. Then we lit up the candles on the two birthday cakes. The twins looked hungry and happy because they tried to eat the cakes. My grandfather blessed the food. I think the prayer took a very long time because I was starving by the end of it. Finally, when the prayer was finished I said “what a relief”! Then I went and served my food.

I was very hungry so I quickly served my food and raced off to the tables. As soon as I got to my table I stuffed my face with food. I ate sausages, chicken, chocolate muffins and chocolate crackles. I also ate some scrumptious ham that was made by my aunty Stephanie.

We had a pirate and princess theme. My little sister Julianna was dressed as a princess. She wore a tiara and a beautiful princess dress. My little brother Kristopher was supposed to be dressed like Jack Sparrow the pirate, but he didn’t like wearing his costume. All of my aunties on my mum’s side came dressed as pirates and they looked awesome.

At the end of the day everyone was happy. The twins got some PJ’s, clothes, toys and lots of money as their presents.

Ten pin bowling

Ten pin bowling

I was standing up straight in a bowling lane waiting to get hit. Suddenly the bowler bowled the ball and it went to fast and struck me right in the chest . I went flying like a bird and banged my head on another pin. Then I said "sorry mate are you all right".
