Dance Fever Recount

Today Room 10 had the other lesson today. I lost count of how many lessons we had. Way to many lessons. First, we started of our Foxtrot Dance. It was very simple, easy, and short. The boys had to choose a girl to be partners with.

Secondly, we did our Cha Cha dance. It was very difficult because my brain wouldn't let me remember the moves, and then I got it right. I was partners with Katalina. She was good at dancing. She taught me  during the lesson.

Lastly, we did Hip Hop it was very cool that we all know the moves. We ended by bogeying to Gangnam Style. It was very tiring, and cracking. We all felt tired, and went back to class, and wrote a recount about our lesson. Here I am writing them. I can't wait for next week, and I'll come earlier for the lesson.

Hip to the Hop Dance Lesson

Today Room 10 had there first dancing lesson. The instructors names were Christina and Captain. It was fun, and exciting. The instructors taught us Hip Hop. I had not done Hip Hop dancing before, so it was my first time. The Hip Hop moves are easy. It was very cool. We were dancing to the song ‘Boom Boom’ by Justice Crew. Dancing is one of my favourite thing to do. Even though I can’t dance, I like to dance. I truly can’t wait for next weeks lesson. Thanks Dance Fever.

Softball Recount

On Tuesday, Room 10 had there Softball lesson. We were learning how to bat. It was fun hitting the ball and catching the hits. Next week, I think we are going to play a game of Softball. I can't wait.

Squash for 4 days straight,YAY!!

Just last week, Glenbrae had a squash lesson for a week. Squash was a sport, kind of like Tennis or Badminton. It was my first time playing that sport. It looked kind of weird for me, but it was very fun. The sport ‘Squash’ used wrackets like tennis and a small soft ball. I learned how to play and learned skills of how to trick our opponents and get them out.

In the past 4 days, we had relays, competitions, rallying and practices. It was a very exciting sport to play, versing your partner and trying to be the ‘King of Squash’ in the class. Christian, Moli, Siupeli and I won and we had to verse each other to be the King. Out of the four of us, Siupeli was the King.

It was the last day of ‘Squash’ on Friday. The class was splitted into four groups. I was in group one. We had to play against groups to get the most points. My group won with 33 points and the others lost with a tie of 22 points. The Coach suddenly said that we had to do a relay and whichever team that wins get an extra 10 points. Group two won the race and they had 22 first and got an extra 10 makes them get 32 points, so my group won by 1 point.

Squash is now one of my favourite sports. I feel excited to know how to play squash. I can’t wait until I play squash again next time.

Our Valentine Birthday

Orientation: “Hmmm!! I wonder if we are going to Valentines?” I asked myself as soon as I woke up from a comfortable early sleep. The game sound wakes me with people shouting and calling. I see my game freak brother playing games, I wondered what time he woke up and started eating the power. I asked him what time he woke up, but he didn’t respond back because he was busy concentrating on the game.

I walked to the kitchen to see what was the time and it was 7:38. I sighed because I hope the time was like ten something so my mum can be awake and make breakfast for us hungry sleepers. I made myself some cereal and ate it up fast. THUMP! THUMP!! I heard my mum coming. “Morning” I said, “Morning” she replied back.

“Hurry up and have tea because we are going to a birthday in Valentines!!” my mum called out. We had tea, a shower, got dressed and getting ready. I look at the time and it was 12:29, “MUM! What time does the thing start!?” I called out, “ONE o'clock!!” she replied shouting back.

Middle: We were on our way to Valentines. When we got there we saw lots of people. The children went inside to the buffet first, so the adults can continue on their program. There was lots of different kind of foods like hot chips, corn carne, battered fish, spring rolls, a mix of healthy food and junk food. The plates full of oysters and other stuff.

I see mouths busy, munching, crunching, talking and laughing. I ate my food and it was delicious. I had a full stomach from all that junk and healthy food. I walked to the dessert area and I can see freezing ice-cream,, freshly made pavlova and mouthwatering cake sitting there calling me to eat them up. I took four pieces of cake and topped them with chocolate ice-cream. YUMMY!!

I sat at my spot and my spoon ready to dig in, but all of a sudden... POP!, someone’s balloon popped, giving 3 to 5 people a fright. My mouth filled with sweetness and my spoon looking muddy. It wasn't actually mud, it was chocolate.

End: We felt tired and I went and played with my friends. Shortly, my mum called, “ It’s time to go home”. I sighed and walked to the van and my sister and brother was waiting. We were on our way home.

As soon as I got home, I felt so tired, I went to sleep when we got home. That was the best birthday place ever. I can’t wait until I go there again someday.

Softball Recount

Today Room 10 had their first softball session. We learnt how to throw the ball softball way and standing in a squatting position with the buttocks sticking out to catch a rolling ball. It was fun. I can't wait until next week.

The frightning Volcanic Room

Image by Author

The highlight of our visit to the Auckland War Memorial Museum was the volcano room. In the volcano room we had an amazing day. There was a model of a house in Puia St. As I entered the room I saw a living room and a sliding window where you can see Rangitoto and the ocean. All of a sudden the T.V came on automatic and the news was on talking about smoke coming out of the water. The smoke gets larger and closer, the larger it gets the faster the volcano is going to form. All of a sudden a thud struck out of no where.  It gave me a fright and the T.V turned off automatically. White smoke transforming into black smoke and the room was shaking so hard that it felt like a giant had grabbed me and shook me so hard. KABOOM! The volcano shoots out black smoke and a GIGANTIC amount of smoke rushing towards us like a tsunami. CRASH! Everything quietens down and on the T.V we heard 'The Aftermath'. It was horrible, blobs of lava popping out like a popcorn on the hot burning active volcano sitting right in the middle of the sea. Huge smoke flying in the air as high as the Sky Tower. Burning trees, plants and houses poisoning animals and people. Burning tyres ruling the skies by covering it with black smoke destroying our atmosphere and creating a new world of darkness.
Back to reality, a man in a suit talked about the volcano and told us to go on a website which has a guide to survive before a volcano erupts. It was very frighting and a bit exciting.
