I can't wait to go to church next Sunday!

On a sunny Sunday, My mum and I waited at the bus stop for the bus because we were going to church.

A few minutes later, we saw our bus turn around the corner and it stopped in front of us. When  the bus came, my mum and I stopped the bus and hopped on. When we were almost there, my mum woke me up to press the button to stop the bus. We hopped off and walked into church quietly.

I sang wonderful songs with my mum during mass and I saw some of my friends there as well! Father read a pray about Jesus and also people were talking about God. Then the congregation drank and ate the bread and the wine. After that I prayed for my family and friends before church ended.

Soon after, I went to holy communion and some of my friends were involved as well. We talked about God and asked a lot of questions. Then we ended our day with a lovely karakia. We had to practise praying all the the prayers that were on the paper given to us for homework last week.

Then I went with my aunty to drop my mum off to the city. It was a long ride but my cousin and I made the ride fun by telling stories and jokes. Later on I went over to my aunt’s home for lunch before I was dropped off home. I ate some sandwiches and It was very delicious. I had a lot of fun on Sunday and my favourite part of the day was when I was at church because I felt blessed.

Have you played a netball game before?

Today is Friday, Room 7 and I stood in front of our netball coach (Tina) and her sister for our last Netball session.

We were split into two groups. I was the goal attack and my team was called the Dab. Before we started our game of Netball, we all got in a small little circle and cheered for our team! I stood behind the line at the end of the court with one of the other team’s player (Goal Defence).

First, our team had the ball so we kept on passing the ball until our Goal Shoot went for a shot, but unfortunately we missed.  Then the other team went to pass the ball but fortunately one of our players blocked the other team from getting the ball and passing the ball to their Goal Shoot then goal shoot went for the shoot and got it in.

Then it was half time went and I gave my position to my friend and I watched them.  Sadly meanwhile when they were playing the other class came. So we had to stop and said our full team name which was the seven stars. It was a short game but it was fun because we used all our skills that we learnt to v.s each other in game.

My favourite part of the day was when we had keep passing the ball.

I liked it because it was really challenging.

I can't wait to go and visit my aunty again!

One fine Saturday morning in May, I  was the first to wake up in my family so I went to make myself some breakfast in the kitchen. I had some rice bubbles with milk then I watched a movie on tv called Turbo. I liked the movie Turbo because it was awesome. Turbo (the snail) had to race against race cars in a tournament and he won by rolling as fast as he could until he reached the finish line.

After a while, my dad and brother woke up and had some breakfast. Later on we got ready to visit my aunt who lives in Glen Innes. We went in a black car and it took us only 5 minutes to get there because we live close to her. We also bought two boxes of pizza on the way there. We had pepperoni and hawaiian pizza.

When we got to my aunt’s house, I hopped out of the car as fast as I can and ran to knock on the door. My aunt opened it and said ‘Hi!’. I said “Hi, too!” We got inside and watched tv. Then, my dad asked me if I wanted some pizza but I replied and said, “ No,  thanks”.

While I waited for them to finish eating the pizza,  I continued watching tv before leaving.  Just when we were about to leave we got asked if we would like  play soccer for a bit. I was pleased and excited! So we went in the front lawn to start our game of soccer.  It was me and my dad against my brother and my aunt.

I first had the ball so I went for the kick. And on my first try I scored a goal. My  team kept on kicking and scoring goals. Sadly it was getting late so we said our goodbye to my aunt  then we went home. I was very tired in the end but I had a lot of fun and I wish that we could visit aunty every weekend.

My favourite part of the day was when I was playing soccer with my family. I liked it because It was very challenging and it also can make fit, healthy and strong.
