No, it's my last week for guitar class!

I woke up still feeling exhausted on a windy Saturday morning. First, I got ready for my guitar class. Then, I washed my face as fast as a cheetah so I would be the first person to be at guitar class lesson.
      After I was ready, I had sausages and eggs with a cup of Milo for breakfast. After I ate my yummy breakfast, I felt as full as a gigantic hippo.
      Before long, my mum and I hopped into the car and went to guitar class. While my mum was driving, I looked at the rugby field and I couldn't  see a game playing today.
     When I got to guitar class I said, "Goodbye" to my mum and went inside. Then, I said, "Hello to my teacher Vernon.
     After that, we started off with sitting in a circle to play Ode Joy one by one.
     I started of and Vernon said that I was wonderful. Then we got into pairs to play another song called Ferolise with each other. My partner was called Maggie. We both played it at normal speed at first then we played it more faster and faster.
     When we finished , we went into a circle again to play a new song with these chords Am, E, Am, C, E and Am. After I practised the new song the clock hit 11 o'clock. I rushed outside to see if my mum was there, but she wasn't so I had to go back inside to wait for her. After a little while, I went to check for her again but she still wasn't there. Then, I checked one last time and she finally arrived.
    Once I hopped in the car, my mum told me that we were going to my auntie's house. However, we had to go back home to get ready. First, I grabbed some fun activities to play with. Then, I brought my guitar cards, a joke book, my drawing pad and some little snacks.
   Soon, my grandma, mum and I hopped straight into the car and went to my aunties house. Twenty to twenty five minutes later, we all were there. I said, "Hello" and then went back into the car because we had to drop off my grandma and her sister to someone elses house. After we dropped them off, we said, "Goodbye". Then, my cousin, mum and I headed to Pizza hut because we were all hungry. We picked Pepperoni, Hawaiian and beef and onion. After an hour we picked up my grandma and her sister. Then, we all ate the pizza altogether like a happy family.

Hey everybody, do you want to go to my dance performance?

On Saturday the 23rd of September I had my dance performance at Te Oro in Glenn Innes.
      First I washed my face and had my breakfast. For breakfast I had a pie from the bakery and it was delicious.
      After my breakfast, my mum and I got some materials to make a lolly necklace for my dancing teacher. Then, my mum dropped me off to my guitar lessons.
      When I got there I ran inside and said, "Hello" to everyone in my class. Then we started off to sit into a circle to play the song called Ferolise. We all played the song very slowly.
      After that, we all paired up so I went with Evelen. Evelen and I played the song Ferolise together and then we played a new song called Summertime.
      Soon, it was time to go home so I said, "Goodbye" to my teacher and rushed to the car. When I got home I had 20 minutes in the shower and then I changed into my black clothes. When everybody was ready my mum, cousin, grandma and I went to my performance. While my mum was driving, my mum stopped to buy a clip for my hair so that I could put my hair into a bun
       When we got there, I felt nervous but I had to believe in myself that I could do it.  Then, I went into a changing room where all my friends were getting ready to perform as well.
        When it was time to perform, I gave my teacher a hug and a big thank you for all the effort that she has put into training us. While I was dancing my mum had a big smile on her face. This encouraged me to dance as well as I could. After the dance, my mum gave my teacher the lolly necklace to say thank you. Next, my friends and I took photos with each other. Then we took photos with our family members to remember this awesome day.
 Today was a busy day but it was still a magical day filled with music and dancing. My favourite part of the day was when I took photos of my friends because we'll be able to look at that later on and remember what a wonderful day it was.

Mum, can I go to the Otahuhu pools again?

On a shiny beautiful, shiny and wonderful day, I went to Otahuhu pools. First, I went to go and get changed first because my mum, grandma and I went to shop for groceries before we went to the pools. Around 9 am, we all hopped into the car and went to Sylvia park. First we went to Pak'nSave where my mum bought some toilet paper, soap fro the bathroom and some cookies for me to take as snacks for school.
        Then we all had breakfast at McDonald's. My grandma ordered the kiwi big breakfast and my mum ordered a hunger buster meal. I also ordered the kiwi big breakfast and a hot chocolate. After I started eating, I felt like I was in heaven because it was the best breakfast ever. Straight after we had breakfast, we went home to get ready for the pools, but first I had to wake up my cousin Nese up so he could pack for the pools.
        Before long, we all went in the car to go and explore Otahuhu pools. When we got there, it was like I was in a museum because it was the biggest pool I have ever seen. Next to the pools was a library and a cafe. There were different water features on the inside. Then, my cousin and I went on the slide. It was like sliding on a giraffe's neck because it was tall and long. After I went on the slide I saw this hidden spa but sadly it was taken by a lot of children. Then, I  saw another pool but I couldn't go in it either because it was too deep.
        Later on, I saw another water feature and there were buckets of water hanging and when it turns the water falls on your head. All you had to do for the buckets of water to fall on your head was to swing a handle twice and a random bucket will fall on you. After that, I went on the slide again and I saw another pool and my cousin was in it. It was called a bombing pool where you had to jump of a high surface into the water. Sadly, before long we had to go so we showered in these awesome showers that went automatically and went home.
       Today was like the best day ever because I went to Otahuhu pool and I went on terrific slides and pools, but my favourite part of the day was spending time with my family.

Mmmm, spring rolls!

On a bright and beautiful day, I had my guitar class at Tamaki Primary where they teach kids how to play musical instruments. Once my alarm went off I tried to stop it before it became louder. Then I got ready as soon as my mum had woken up. After that my mum,grandma,dad and I had breakfast of bacon and eggs on toast (yummy).                                                                   Later on, when it was around 9:50 my mum dropped me off to guitar lessons. While my mum was driving, I saw a bunch of people playing rugby at Dunkirk park, I saw one person kick the rugby ball as high as the sky tower. Then we parked at my guitar class. I said, "Bye" to my mum and went in. After a couple of minutes I saw Launoa and Akesa so I said "Hello" to them. We started of with sitting in a big circle, so we all could play A,B,C and D.                             Then my teacher taught us how to play the power chords D,A and C. It was really hard at first but I got it when my teacher showed me an example of the power chords. We added all the power chord together so it could be a song. Sadly it was time to go, but at least I could share it to my family and friends.                  When my mum and I got home we watched the British bake off, it was the finals. They each baked a cake so the judges could taste it. The winner was a girl named Ruby. After a while, I helped my uncle make spring rolls. We first unwrapped the spring roll pastry and rolled it with beef and veges. While my uncle was making the spring rolls, I made raw egg yolk to seal the pastry so the rolls will stick together. However we ran out of spring roll pastry, I felt sad as if I was crying inside. Thankfully we had rice paper so we used that to wrap the left over beef and vegetables.  Today was awesome because I learnt new notes,songs and chords. My favourite part was making spring rolls with my uncle because it was really yummy.

Mum, can I go to my cousin's house again?

On a breezy and wonderful day, I went to my cousin's house. First in the morning, I got ready for my guitar lessons. When I was ready my mum dropped me off at my guitar lesson. When I went in I saw Launoa and I sat next to her. I taught Launoa how to play the D harmonica. Our teacher told us to sit in a circle so we could play the D harmonica. After two people had a go it was my turn and I did really great.
                   After guitar class I went home, and shared the D harmonica with my family. They clapped and cheered for me. Then my cousin at home played video games, so I joined them. The video game was a fighting game,so I had to fight my cousin.I lost the first match because I had no idea how to play. I played one more time, and this time I won so now it was a fair match. Then when it was around 12:30 my mum, grandma and I went into the car and drove to my cousin's house.
                   While my mum was driving we stopped at pizza hut to get some pizzas for my cousins and the rest of the family. We ordered 2 pepperonis, 2 Hawaiians and 2 meat lovers. Then  we drove as fast as a cheetah to my cousin's house. When we all got there my cousins said, "Hi" and hugged us. First we ate the pizza so we got some plates.I had two pepperonis. I was just so excited as if I was at Rainbowsend because I haven't seen my cousins for a really, really long time.
                   We all played I dare you. i dared my cousin Harvey to shut as loud as he could for 2 minutes. then it was his turn to dare me, he dared me to do the same thing.Later on, we all watched Regular show on Television,it was about Muscle man getting married but he didn't get a letter from his dad Muscle genius. Sadly I had to go home, so I said, "Goodbye" and went.
                 Today was brilliant because I got to spend time with my cousins. My favourite part was when we played I dare you because my cousin shouted so loud that he fell on the ground. However I would hope that I could spend more time with my cousins sooner.
