My favourite days of the holiday

First Favourite Day
My first day was really fun. I watched the musical bring it on with Rosemary. Rosemary's sisters Caroline and Maddie were really good dancers and I enjoyed watching all of their energy. I stayed the night at Rosie's house and played lots of fun games. We had Mc Donalds for dinner and a Mc Flurry for dessert.

Second Favourite Day
My next favourite day was spent with all my friends at Onekawa pools for Sophia's birthday. It was a sleep over. Sophia had hired the new inflatable and we were the first to test it out. Sophia and I started to dive off the end of the pool. I smashed my head against the bottom of the pool and man it hurt. We came home and had pizza for tea. We watched the teen beach movie 2. I had an enjoyable time.


Third Favourite Day
My third favourite day was when I went to Rosemary's party. We went to watch the movie home in the auditorium at Lindisfarne. We had popcorn, lollies, chips and fizzy drinks. The movie was very funny and I would highly recommend it to others. Breakers was the next place we went to . I ordered a chicken wrap and chips, a traffic light drink and a donut sundae for dessert.

Fourth Favourite Day
My fourth favourite day was when I had a movie day with my mum. I got out the movie Haunted House and the movie Mr Peabody and Sherman. We stopped at the supermarket to get lollies and popcorn. I snuggled up in my blankets and watched both of the movies. It was a great day to have a movie day because it was a very wet and cold day.

Matariki

I am blogging this because I love my poster and the rest of the work I have done.
I am proud of this because the way the poster came out was really great.

Success Criteria:

• explains what the workshop was all about
• shows why and how you enjoyed it (personal voice)
• shares what you learnt
• includes a photo of the activity (hopefully with you in it)
• has that something extra special (e.g. instructions on how you could do the activity too)

Sewing was really fun because I got to do something that I have never done before. We got to make these denim wall hangings that were all different colours. We learnt to hand stitch some stars and do a special knot.  My wall hanging looks really cool and I got to have one of the best experiences yet. I felt really nervous when I went to sew because just before Mrs Beswick said that it really hurt when you sew your finger. My sewing machine was a bit old so it was hard to go slow and steady. It took me a while to get the hang of it but I got there in the end. We ironed the boat on and ironed the stars on as well. I found it amazing how I got to spend a day doing something really cool.

Success Criteria:

• in your own words
• summarises main ideas about Matariki
• clear and easy to understand
• has the creative “x factor”

Camp moment in time

This is my camp moment in time that I wrote for our writing task. I thought it was really fun. 

Kayak leg of the amazing race

The scorching sun beaming onto my face is so hot that it is unbearable. There's splashes of water dropping onto my legs. I start to get goose bumps.  I couldn't wait untill it would be finished. The paddles moving up and down and side to side is in rhythm. Up, down, side, side, up, down, side, side. I could faintly hear Ians voice saying “Touch the rock, touch the rock”. We jumped out. Splash! My legs could hardly take the freezing cold water. The squishy moss under my feet is so gross. I touch the old looking rock and climb back in my very wet kayak. I paddle back to the shore hearing the sound of sophia encouraging and cheering. I hop out and put my shoes on my dripping feet. I run off feeling proud

Sports

In the weekend I play sports such as netball and canoe polo. Last weekend we won our netball 19-1 against Peterhead. I  played the positions GD, C and GA.  My favourite netball netball player from the silver ferns is Casey Williams because she plays my favourite position GD. Also because she is the captain of the Silver Ferns.

I also play canoe polo in the afternoon. My team is in the top grade. It is really hard to try and stay in your boat when somebody is barging into you. Goalie is really hard to play because we use to be able to be held by a person at the back of you but know that we are used to playing and we know the rules we are not allowed to be held.  That means that we have to paddle ourselves underneath the goal and stay there for the whole game.

Camp Logos

On Thursday we went to Camp Omatua. For our teams we made logos. My team name was Fast Four. The lighting bolts facing the four in the middle is all the people in my team. We chose colours that we liked to make it look beautiful.

Item

I was strolling to the hall and my hands were all clammy I tried to calm myself down, it didn’t work. I arrived through the door and BAM I was as nervous as a dancer on a stage in front of a 10,000 people.There were parents and kids already there. I said to myself, be brave Georgia, be brave. I stood on the stage and listened to the poems. I clapped and started to feel just a tiny bit more confident. It was time to do the dance move your body. I had energy to burst out that was desperate. I was getting more confident with every single move. After a while I was enjoying it so much I was giving it my best shot. It was my dance now with some other friends of mine it was to the song wild wild west. We had some funky cowboy hats on and some bandannas and very cool vests. I stood there in front of the crowd with my mates waiting for the music. The music started a I jumped around dancing my heart out and also counting the counts 5,6,7,8. I was puffing hard out “ha ha” but it still felt like I had lots and lots of energy left. The music went on for ages well at least I thought it did. I ran back to my place and started swaying side to side listening to poppy’s beautiful singing. It was room 7 time to sing know. I could smell the sweat that room 7 had dripping down their body. I was brave and started singing the best I can even though I was probably flat. After three courses we got to dance how ever we want. Me Blair, Paia and Tiaana all did back to back together it looked really cool. We did some duggie together and some clicks. The song stopped all of a sudden I thought to myself DJ Kory must have stopped the music “oh well”. I thought to myself I want to do it again. It was fun!!

Being brave

In room 7 we are trying to be brave and put ourselves out there here are some photos of me being brave.
