Japan Skype call

2010-06-14T17:02:00.006+12:00

We had a skype call with our japanese buddies today. We had to tell them about things that were special to New Zealand that they might not have in Japan. I chose Weetbix!

Here is my speech in English and Japanese...

ニュージーランドでは、我々は朝食を持っているweetbixしています。彼らは非常にサクサクです。あなたは牛乳や自らでそれらを持つことができます。すべてのパックでは、いくつかのラグビーカードがあります。

In New Zealand we have weetbix which we have for breakfast. They are very crunchy. You can have them with milk or by themselves. In every pack there are some rugby cards.

I hope the translator works ok!

CAMP FUN 2010

2010-04-25T11:42:00.009+12:00

I had so much fun at camp we went kayaking and did a night walk with blind folds on. It was scary but fun, we also did a amazing race my group was called the jumping skittles. We had to do skits they are mini plays, my groups skit was dancing with the stars. Ava, Abby and I were the dancing divas in our skit. It was awesome, my dad came too we did heaps of fun stuff and there were three classes altogether.

My HOIDAY IN WANAKA. It was so fun!

We went to the war birds. Gabe my brother loved it, we got to try on helmets that people use on planes. The planes did amazing tricks and we got some candy floss yum yum and then we went back to the camping ground. At the camping ground we had a swim it was freezing cold, it has three water slides. The next day we went to see some paintings and sculptures they were so cool. Then finally it was easter morning, I got a huge easter egg. We got up went to the park I got so dizzy on all the dizzy spinny things it was so fun. It was so hot so we dipped our feet in the water, then it was time to go back to Dunedin it was a great holiday!

The real red riding hood

2009-08-18T20:46:00.006+12:00

Hi, my name is Iain Wolf. You know me from a story called 'Red Riding Hood'.

It all started when I was having a wash in a lake, and I heard a noise. It was a girl with a red hood. She came up to me and said " What are you doing in a lake scary wolf?"

I got angry and started to get hungry for a snack. I got up and started to growl. The girl in the red hood ran away. She ran all the way to a house. I followed her.

When she got there, she got a basket out of her bag and it had delicious cupcakes in it, and flowers. Thyen she skipped into the house. When she got there she said "Hi Gran" and suddenly I jumped out and tied up gran and chucked her into the closet and I lifted up red riding hood and said "I was just having a wash in the lake so I smelled nice - that's all!"

"I've got to go!" Red said. "Was that all?"

"Yes." I said. "Okay, bye I've got to go, I have to make a cake for my brother."

And that is the real story.

My 9th birthday!!!

A tribute to my lovely Uncle - i miss him!

2009-04-10T19:18:00.001+12:00

2009-03-28T16:38:00.004+13:00

Peep holes glittering in the sky,
Uncle Rhys can see me.

I love how the stars shine,
the shiniest star is my Uncle.

The feeling of crying goes around in my head,
I wish he wasn't dead.
I love you Uncle Rhys
Lily

Uncle Rhys is kind and caring

He loves me and still is in my heart,
he always will be - no matter what!

I can feel him hugging my heart and smiling at me.

That makes my heart feel wonderful.

Heather - I am going to care for Heather because something sad has happened and I will help her with Olive and Lewis always.

I love using Photo Booth!

Mr Curtis!

2009-03-12T18:27:00.008+13:00

I am going to write a poem about my teacher this year called Mr Curtis!

Mr Curtis your so cool,
You are a good groover at our school.
Your deodorant that you spray in our room is fresh,
You wear funky clothes in your flesh.
I like when you dance, and show off your toosh,
We all love to join you and we don't need a push.
I love the way that you are kind,
It helps me get things off my mind.
I love the MBA idea,
I think you may have got it from Mother dear.
You help us by cooking our noodles without a fuss,
They sure fill up my tum and I feel as big as a bus.

Bye for now - I am excited for the next day of school, I hope your wife gets better soon. We miss you at school. Lily

Holidays and ME!

2009-02-14T20:39:00.008+13:00

Uncle Rhys!

2009-01-22T09:03:00.004+13:00

Hi Uncle Rhys it's Lily here. I miss you and I liked the times we used to have together.

I remember floating boats in the water in Wanaka, having Christmas together and jumping on your back, and being your flower girl at your wedding.

I liked the way that you always played with me and i wish that you were still alive. I am sad because I didn't get to say goodbye to you, but I think i could talk to you in the wind sometimes and you might hear.

I like your movie the water horse, it is one of my favourites and I didn't even know that you had worked on it or King Kong until Mummy told me. I like seeing your name at the end of water horse movie.

Goodbye Uncle Rhys - I love you. Love Lily xxxxooo

A poem for Uncle Rhys
I like the way you play with children, you are kind and caring,
You are smiling and wonderful and sharing.
I wish you were still alive because it's funnny without you to cuddle,
It's a bit of a muddle.
Lewis and Olive miss you and Aunty Heather too,
A 1000 x's I love you!

MY SONG!

2008-10-26T20:47:00.004+13:00

I'm lonely and there isn't a place for me here,
I'm stuck here maybe I'll try to escape,
but there isn't any way hey hey hey hey hey!

I just want to be a friend to everyone,
but it's hard because everyone likes different things!

Nobody wants to be my friend, I don't know why,
maybe sometimes I should do things differently,
and maybe my friends should try to listen to me.

PS I actually have lots of wonderful friends, I just felt like writing a song.

My Jazz Dance Exam!

2008-10-21T18:41:00.007+13:00

I did a Jazz exam on Sunday, I had lots of fun! The first part we had to practise before we went out to the exam. The exam teacher was called Mrs MaClinchy. She said I had a wonderful smile which made me feel proud and happy. I got a yellow rosette and now I have two, a purple one and a yellow one. I passed which was great.

My favourite dance was the one where I was tapping my foot with my hat on in the picture above. It was my favourite because we had really hip hoppy music to it and I like dancing to the hip hop style it makes me feel great inside.

I practised in Christchurch because we took the CD on holiday, the CD was quite good to listen to in the car as our family all liked the songs.

Everybody liked my dance even my Nanna and Robbie did. My Mum thought I did fantastic even though she didn't get to watch me she some how new from my big smile. She wrote on my blackboard "Your a great dancer", she writes on my blackboard quite often and write back to her sometimes. It is a cool thing we do, I call her Mamma Mia at the moment!

I hope you enjoy reading my amazing exam story.

Shark Fun!

2008-09-22T14:35:00.003+12:00

Shark Fun!

I zoomed out of the door looking frantic worrying that I wouldn't be there on time. When I got there I saw a small still orange on the roof......it was unusual.

Then we went in, we saw a golden fish swimming along the water. The spotted fish was down the bottom of the tank and I thought it was lonely.

When we got in the pool we slithered down the hydro slide, I slid down with Ava. It was fun and we played sharks with Trev, he was the shark. I won a prize, it was some goggles.

I had a FANTASTIC birthday!

My Day at the Cross Country!

2008-08-25T20:42:00.010+12:00

Woosh off we go racing!!

We are listening to Mr Larson our Principal!
Here I am with Mikayla, Ava and Rebecca, these are my friends!
I am stretching with all of my friends and class mates!
Here we are stretching with Mrs Brown!

I am very PROUD of Mikayla and Ava my friends because they got first and second place! Even though I didn't get first place I still said well done to them, I was a little bit disappointed though that I didn't come first. I thought about it though and felt happier after my sausage and that was when I congratulated them!

I now understand how they must feel in the Olympics, Sara Walker must have felt the same as me when she didn't get a medal (she is a BMX rider). She probably trained harder than I did though.

I realised it is important to keep trying your best and to be the sort of friend who says well done to people.

I had an AWESOME time though because running in it was cool and I had a T-shirt on that had stars all over it and my Mum, Dad and family name as they sponsored me for the run.

Leave a comment and tell me what you think!

My 8th Birthday!!

2008-08-11T09:01:00.009+12:00

I had a wonderful time at my 8th birthday party at the pool. It was family fun day and Trev form 89.4 got all of my friends to sing over the microphone to me. They were embarrassed they said to me. I felt funny inside when they were singing to me.

The birthday cake was wonderful one bit of it was a basketball court from high school musical and the other bit was a pool.

We played high school musical games when we got back home where we had to guess who said what line in the movie. It was hard a little bit sometimes. We also played statues and danced. We also played a game where you had to hum the tune and the others had to guess, it was easy!!

I also had a family whanua tea that night, we always have them on our birthdays where all of our family come together and eat, laugh and play.

Some of my friends couldn't come so I had another special time for them at the pool on a Friday night and came home for fish and chips.

THANK YOU everyone for the wonderful presents and party!!

Tily!

2008-07-31T08:14:00.003+12:00

My baby cousin Tily has brown eyes like chocolate and she sleeps like an angel.

When she crawls she looks like a cat and when I play with her she laughs like a happy child.

After Tily has a bath, her skin is as soft as a snake skin and when she gets out of the bath and we dry her, she wriggles like a wriggly worm.

I love her so much!!

Funny Fantastic Holiday!!

2008-07-13T18:00:00.010+12:00

If you could only be where I was on my holiday adventure,
you would have so much fun - as I did!

Cat purring sounded like a contented Tiger - Thomas was his name
Jumping pillows, entertaining us all.

In Hanmer the sky was like a dazzling light, so beautiful that you could fall asleep just watching it.

Snow on the mountains the thickest I have ever seen, it sparkled like lightening and snow angels we were.

Off we went on the horses my horse was called Lucky, that was Lucky for me.

Here I heard the feet trotting on the floor, we went through the swishing river and clumped and slipped over the snow.

On the Village Cruisers pedal bikes, having fun going slow as slow as a turtle, it was hard to steer I got to steer and out of control I went.

It was a SPECTACULAR holiday, one I will remember until I am an old Granny!

Performing in our school musical!

2008-07-01T12:23:00.006+12:00

Here is an acrostic poem for you all on the Night at the Library musical. I was a main part dancers, you can see me down the front sitting, I am wearing blue.

Magical Library
Interesting dances
Dancing on the floor vibrating us more and more
Nice Clapping
Interesting tapping on the ground went the shoes
Gorgeous dance moves
HSM was our special dance
The books came alive at night what a magical sight

Hiding in the nights glowing gloom
Our sweet voices singing
Using our special voice
Racing everywhere went Mrs Quick

Me and My Dad!!

Leaf

2008-06-18T17:55:00.003+12:00

Lying lazy on the ground
Enjoying lying in the sun
Apples growing on the leaf eating tree
Furry, spikey, colourful leaves.

Leaves

2008-06-18T17:51:00.004+12:00

Leaves rushing through the ground,
Nearly sweeping me away.
Whoosh!
One fell right in my face.
It was dark.
Crunch, munch,
I wobble through the leaves.
Trying to see where I am going.
A gust of wind
Whoosh!
It is off my face.

Some snapshots of me!!

The Forest Adventure!

2008-06-17T07:39:00.001+12:00

It was past my bedtime. I looked outside my window. I looked at the peaceful forest. It was unusual because the animals were usually noisy. I looked up at the castle and saw the lights were off. They were normally on.
"Aaah!" somebody screamed and it came from the forest. I ran into the forest.
"Wow" I whispered to myself, "this place is magic."
"Aaah!"
I heard it again. I raced towards it. I saw a screaming unicorn, that was unusual, a screaming unicorn.
I shouted to the unicorn "What are you doing?"
"Sorry if I disturbed you but I was practising neighing."
"Well, a scream is a funny neigh."
Soon I heard a 'ribbit ribbit plop'. I rushed towards it and looked up and saw a frog with a wizard hat on and a scaly silky costume. It turned around. I saw it's goobly eyes and it greeted me.
"Did I frighten you?" I asked
"You sure did!"
"Oh sorry, anyway, what are you doing?"
" I am making wombat stew with worms and sludge in it too."
"Ooh." I said, "That's disgusting."
"No it is actually quite nice, would you ike to try some?"
"No way"
I wondered what I was going to see now. Something scooped me up. It was a bat, a scaly, black bat. It grabbed me and dropped me on it's nest. It landed on its nest and introduced itself.
"Hello, hello, hello" I shouted. I asked him what his name was.
He replied that his name was Betsokay. I thought his name was cool and Betsokay inroduced his friends to me. Their names were Rex and Pumpkin. he also inroduced his kitten and told me her name was Oolah. I thought she was very cute.
However, Betsokay told me that the kitten was going to die because she would not drink. Oolah needed a new owner. I decided to be her new owner. Betsokay told me she needed lots of cuddles and liked going to bed at night time.
When I got back it was still night, because time had stood still while I was away.
In the morning I showed my kitten to my Mum and Mum asked me where I got her.
I replied "The pet shop of course!"
