In the holidays my brother Kobie, Josh, Ben and I went to the Splash Centre. When we got there we got a hydro slide pass and then went to go in the pool. After we jumped out of the pool and went down the hydro slide. We all went down at the same time. After we went to the Splash Centre we went to Kowhai park. As soon as we got there we went on the Flying fox, the train and then went to the bowl with our scooters. Then we went back home to have some afternoon tea. We had a cookie, some water, fruit and a bit of cake. After that we went back home and played soccer.

Our Class Assembly Item

On Friday the 2nd of June Room 15 did an assembly item. The assembly item was called once upon a hundred years nap. First we had choose who we wanted to be and decide if we wanted to have a big part in the play with allot of words or didn't want to say much. Since we were an all boys class some people had to be girls and I was one of them. I had to be Merrywell Charming, Prince Stuart's mother. I was one of the main people. Then it was Friday the assembly day. As soon as I walked out onto the stage all of the junior kids were laughing and giggling at me with my blue dress, Brown curly wig, shiny pearl necklises and the teachers shoes that were a bit to big for me. Once I had finished saying all of my lines I felt a whole lot better and I didnt feel very nervous anymore because after all of that learning my lines it finally payed of.

On the holidays my uncle came over from Christchurch. When he got to Wanganui he came over to our house to see us in the morning. He banged on the door so I got up and let him in. We were all still in bed but we were still awake. Then when I let him in I jumped into mums bed with her. Then he came in, said hi and told us that he was staying just down the road from us at Nana's house. But then he had to go back now so he said bye and went back to Nana's. Then a couple of hours later I biked as fast as lightning down to nana's to see uncle Rob. When I got there I said hello to Uncle Rob and to Nana. I was excited. Then me and Rob went to get some movies. When we got to the movie store we got Jack and Jill, Grown ups and Chronicle. Then we went to the countdown and got some lollies and some chips.
