Christmas on Riverside

I woke up and snuck into my living room. I had a little peek under our tree to see what we were getting for Christmas. It was really big so I crept back down my hallway and jumped back into bed, i could not sleep! I heard my brother wake up, so i jumped back out of bed and woke my mum and dad up with a big “Merry Christmas” and a kiss & a big hug.  My mum got up but my dad could see the living room from his side of the bed, so he stayed in bed. My mum said “open your gifts” so I quickly opened it and it was a casio keyboard. I said “thank you mum and dad” I opened it and went hard trying to play any tune i could think of.  I loved it.

My mum showed me a lot of songs that were really easy, so I gave them a go. I watched my brother open his gift, he got a guitar. I went and asked my dad if I could have some game time, he said yes, so I quickly pulled out my Xbox one. My favourite game at the moment is Nba 2k15.  It's a really cool game, because you can dunk and shoot from far away.  My favourite player is Michael Jordan, he has MEAN skills. I set my game up and played, I was really  happy. We waited for the game to load so I played the demo. My Nana and pa came over with my aunty.  My Aunty Adah gave me perfume and my Nana and pa gave me $100.

I went to my cousin Julius and Eli’s house to drop their presents off and to say Merry Christmas. Me and Michael got a guitar hero for Xbox one from our Aunty Lizzys family.  I was so surprised and happy at the same time. I got my cousin Julius a pair of shoes and got my cousin Eli a t shirt.  They loved our gifts. we said our goodbyes and headed back to my house.  My cousin John was there waiting for us.  We had a delicious Family bbq with my Nana, Pa & Aunty Adah.  The food was delicious, I especially liked the corn & the trifle.  We also have a Tongan watermelon drink called Otai, that was one of my favourites too.  I was so full! Thanks for reading my story, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well.

Simon Athletics day

On Friday the 13th we had athletics. I woke up and jumped out of my bed and put my yellow t - shirt on. Me and my brother walked out the door with our faces happy. When we got to school I ran inside the classroom and saw our teacher Mr bax all covered in yellow!. He cut little strips of yellow paper I quickly took it. I tied it around my head and put tape on my cheeks. I took of my school t shirt and put it in my bag. I had my yellow t shirt on. I ran around the classroom looking for my friends and  people with the best  t shirts.

I went with my other teacher Ms M. We lined up at the door and went to the court. We all sat down on the burning court and listened to Mr Burt on the microphone. He was talking about being safe and having fun we started the fun. We walked down to the bottom field to start our first activity. We did relays!. I was leader for my team so I had to run twice!. Ms M said GO. I quickly sprinted to the cone in front of me I gave the pole to the next person. I was tired. They gave the pole to me again I ran and gave it to the person at my cone I gave it and sat down. The person that was in front of me must of felt scared. After all of that we walked over to the shot put stand we lined up. I was 4th. after that it was my turn I threw the shot put and came 1st!. My friend Javan beat me so I was 2nd I was feeling scared and worried that someone will beat me so I will have to go down to third and someone will beat me again and I will be out. I had my fingers crossed and hoping that no one will beat me. but no one did

I was so happy and surprised because I'm only little and I beat big guys

After that we went high jump. Oh I was prepared I stood at the right cone I was 2nd. I was nervous at start but not at the end.

It was my turn I sprinted fast and jumped as high as I could I closed my eyes I did not see anything. I turned my head and looked at the pole It was still up I heard people cheering and people saying my name. I went and stood at the front cone I was smiling and  because I have made it into the second round. I watched a lot of people failing and a lot of people making it over. It was the left leg people a lot made it over. We had our turns again I failed but it was alright.

Yellow Is the best because we win every year and we are all fast. so going yellow.  

  

Egg race

Have you ever had an egg friend because on Wednesday the 21st of October 2015 our teacher Mr bax gave us a raw slimy egg to have as a friend. We saw our teacher’s egg it looked funny our teacher’s egg was called Jeff. He told us to be very careful with our eggs.

Mr bax gave out the eggs and the vivid. We had to wait. I got my egg so I had to wait for the vivid. While I was talking to Noah My friend John Turned around and hit me and I dropped my egg on the carpet everyone looked and they were shocked. We went and told Mr bax. Mr bax got some rags and we cleaned the mat. I got another egg. I made a beard and some eyes on mine.

We all finished drawing faces on our egg friends we ran outside and lined up in the line. We did not know what we were doing until our teacher took us to the park. He told us to sit on the plank of wood. We sat down and got nervios. Mr bax said we're having an egg race We all said no. Because we wanted to keep our egg friend.

The people who wanted to race had to get a spoon and Go!. We just sat down and watched the race. The people had to go over 4 things before going to the finish line. My friend kaden came first his egg did not drop. It was time for the next group. Me and Noah lined up together Mr bax said go all I could hear was cheering and eggs cracking. I went over the first thing and I was on my way to my second. I reached the second and stood over it. the the 3 one was a little hard Because I had to jump I jumped but my egg did not break. I made it to the end with my egg still alive.

In my amazing holiday me my brother and my awesome mum and dad went to pick up my cousins from out west on Tuesday. It was a cool drive. We saw trees animals and also houses. Finally we got there I jumped out of the car and raced to the front door I   knocked loudly. We went to there house because we wanted to go special places with them like mission bay and other places like that.

They opened the door and said hello with excitement. The had all of their things in there hands. They ran to the car and put everything in the boot we all said by and left. We arrived at our house and went inside and watched a little bit of TV. After all of that we went to get dinner we got fish and chips. And ate it at mission bay.

We got out of the car and zoomed to there awesome part they had. We were playing like animals. It was Fun. My mum shouted dinner time.!  We had a race and who ever gets to the table first is a winner. You now I'm just fast so I already won. We sat down at the table and said our prayer before we ate. We finished saying our prayer so we ATE. I had a hamburger and 2 sausages. My brother and my cousins went to the beach to play.

I was still at the table eating my food. With my mum and dad. I finished and I went  down to the beach and we were playing skims with rocks and shells. After all of that we ran down to the park we played at the park for a little while before we went home. My brother was getting bored so we went home. We jumped into our pyjamas and jumped into bed.
