The last dinosaur

In Kauri class we had to do a play and our play was called The Last Dinosaur. There were four characters and I was chomper. Once we had practised saying through we record it on our chromebook. Once we have done that we had to pick a dinosaur photo and then record it again but with the picture..

Trip to the groynes for FISHING

In Kauri class, we went to the Groynes so that we could fish. It was around 9:30 when we had to go in cars so that we could go to the Groynes instead of going in a obstreperous/noisy bus. Lauren, Jedi, Billie and Went in Serah’s cars and when we got at the Groynes we did not know where we were going even though all the other cars were following us like we were playing follow the leader. When we got their we had to get some rods and also some shrimp so that we could put on the hook so that the fish could eat it. I went to some lakes and kept on changing because I did not get a fish. LAter when I used a spinner I nearly caught one but fish was too smart. Lots of minutes past which meant that we had to go back to school but before that, Peter and Emma had to clean the inside of the fish for the people that caught one. When I went to school I ate so much food because I was so famished/hungry.            

My recount about my holidays

In the holidays I...In Kauri class, we have been learning to write recounts about things that we did. My recount is about what I did in the holidays because I did boisterous/energetic things. Something that I learnt was to use paragraphs and really juicy words since I am a juicy and fun person, just kidding! HA, HA, HA! Not funny? Okay anyway as I was saying, I also learnt how to sew in the holidays which

is in my recount and HOPE YOU ENJOY MY RECOUNT! In the holidays I…

On the second Monday of the holidays I played dressing up with my little brother Sahil because I was bored. WHen my Dad came my Dad, Shukoor, and I went to the park to play tennis because tennis is awesome!  We have this thing that we do like we all pretend that we are tennis champions and we have these matches against each other and guess what, I came first, SHukoor came second, and my Dad came 3rd (also known as last.)

As time passed we had to go home because it was getting pretty dark. I scootered home since I had my scooter with me but when I went home I had to learn how to SEW! Which seemed pretty easy but it seemed hard at the same time too. My Mum helped me make a thing for Muharram (Muslim celebration) which took me a long time to finish it because I was only a starter for sewing. It was getting really late now so I went to sleep dreaming that I turned into a chocolate-chip cookie and got eaten by my sister’s Parisa and Roya even though they have no teeth!

Hours past which meant that it was morning which I was really happy that it was morning because I do not really like sleeping to be honest. I had breakfast and watched WHAT NOW since it is so awesome but something else that was awesome was that I did not have to go to farsi school but I had to help my Mum with my sisters. While I was holding one of my sister's I was talking to them and one was looking at me laughing which was so cute!                                       
Finally when my Dad woke up he had breakfast and said that he is going to the mall with the boys but not the girls which was not even close to being fare. I had to look after the babies while my mum had a shower. When my Dad came I ran off dressing up as my Dad with my Mum’s high heels and trust me, walking with high heels with long pants for a ten year old girl is not easy but it was boisterous.   

Before long it was the end of the holidays and I was very captivated but also narcoleptic and that was why I went to sleep early. When I went in my bed I fell asleep dreaming that all my friends were my sisters but then my DAD woke me up by articulating really rudely because he woke me up from my awesome dream that I enjoyed alot! The only reason why he woke me up was because I had to go to SCHOOL! It was the first day of term 4 so I tried to be early but I couldn’t because I was too lazy to get ready.

Winter fun day

WOW! Winter fun day is so fun because year 4 to 8 went to Mount Hutt for skiing and I finally know how to ski like a professional well not like a professional but a beginner that first went skiing. I fell a couple of times but the most fun part was having hot chocolate. On the way back I sat with Jedi and made her laugh so hard that she had to go to the toilet because she laughed to much but the most funniest thing to me was jedi because of her outfit see...

This was the beautiful view! 

Folk dance

In Kauri we learned some new folk dances like the Canterbury swing other ones too. At the end we had to make our own folk dance with some buddies or a buddy and I went with Jedi! We did our folk dance that was called the BFF'S dance but we had to do that because we did not know what else it could be so we picked that.

Novel study

WOW! You guys should have read the Wednesday Wizard book because the book was so interesting. I am in group Wednesday Wizard for novel study and this is how it went also Hope you enjoy. : )
