My Interests                        

I like climbing really high trees. Once I climbed up this high cliff at Nelson creek and jumped off it into the river. It was fun, there was a rope to help you up. At the top it looked really high. 
I love doing competitions. One competition I did with my brother was handstands on the wall. We were practising for gymnastics and we got a wee bit carried away. We ended up versing each other every night.  

BOOK WEEK                

We have book week to get kids good at reading and spelling. 

During the week we do lots of reading and listening to stories

On parade day we get to go out of school and show off our costumes because we get to dress up as our favourite book characters.

We thank Whaea Becky for keeping our library at school so we can access lots of books to read.

HOLIDAY RECOUNT                                                                                                  
      
In the holidays I  went to my dads for 1 week.
When I got there I gave every one a big hug.
A couple of days later Dad gave us a ride on the digger and I was picking up dirt, rocks and other things.  I Almost tipped the digger over.
When I was in there he told me he had been crushing and chucking his old car around and I got to have a tiny go to. And while I was there I got to play with the piglets. Too bad that their mother died. She had 9 piglets, 7 boys 2 girls. Anyway it turns out that the cute piglets are truly hungry cannibals. The 2 girls were smarter then the boys. I was hiding in my sister's jersey and the pig  undid the zipper and took a bite of my foot. It hurt but I could take it.                                                                                                                

2013 holidays

Pelorus bridge

                                                                                                                                                                                       In the holidays I went to my dad's in Otira maua ko Tuhi. Otira is a small village about 3 hours from Arthurs Pass. On the way we went to Pelorus. When we got to Otira we played with our dad's cross bow but never hit the target. I got to see a very exciting action movie called Jack Reacher. I went to work with my dad. We left at 7:00a.m,  so early.  On my huri tau I got a moto pika but we didn't get to use it. Then back to our whare in Motueka with a pit stop at Nelson awa. I did a couple bombs. When I got home straight away I was handed $60 from Mum for my birthday. I tried to save it but I couldn't .I spent it on a phone and lots of lollies. I am  also going to be an uncle because my step sister is pregnant. Yes I will soon be an uncle. Ka wani ke!
