THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!!!!!!!

On Christmas day my dad took my brother Todd out to the farm. My dad told Todd that they were going to check on the bulls but they were actually going to someones house to pick up the present that was the puppy. The owners called her Socksie cause her back legs were white but we changed her name to Poppy. In the mornings Poppy gets so excited when she see's us. She will jump up and down and lick us alot then she will continue to the next person. She loves tummy rubs, swimming, ham, steak and us. She is full of joy and shes probably biting a bone right now. I love her!

Sharing Pillows

Friday 7th October




At the kings theater in kawakawa I made two amazing pillows.
With the help of Alyssa my little group and I went to the op shop a bought some good fabrics for pillows.
I started with a pillow for mum because she was the one paying for the art classes.
The fabric I bought had a nice twirly pattern on it but it was brown so I painted it blue.
When Alyssa sewed mums pillow together I started to make one for myself.
I got a bit of yellow cotton a in black paint spelled SMILE in capitals.
Then I used the same yellow cotton for the front and for the back a nicely knitted blue and yellow blanket.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Owlish Fun

Tuesday 2nd October





 At Kings Theatre I made an owl bag.
A nice lady named Alyssa helped me sew and now it looks amazing.
It's got a fluffy tummy and stars on background.
It's got a cute little pink bow.
Apparently it's the best art work I've ever made.
I am very proud of it and hope you like it.

Haruru Falls

On Friday afternoon me and my family went to camp at Haruru Falls. We were camping in our new caravan. Its was soooo much fun there because there was a pool, a slide to go in the pool, a netball hoop, a trampoline, a giant checkers game and a volleyball net. At one point me and Jess went outside to play on the trampoline and Jess took a photo of me oh and by the way the trampoline was really bouncy. The next day we invited a family that were one of our friends went to Russia we got fish and chips for lunch and then got an ice cream it was delicious. At the end of the day we went back to the camp ground and everyone came inside and relaxed for a moment then some more visitors came it was the Hargoves and the Aldertons we had so much fun that we even had fish and chips and pizza for dinner it was so good.

Haururu Falls

Hello everyone,

Couple of days ago my whole family went camping with our caravan at Haururu falls. It was so much fun. It had a T shaped pool with a bumpy yellow slide. It had a big Play area with a trampoline. The weather turned out great. We had some ducks following us all around. It was a really good trip :)!!

Gardening

Today Mum, Kyle and I started to get our garden ready. We started to dig it up then put the compost in. We had to wet the ground. Next we started to plant the plants. I dug the holes and Mum and Kyle planted them. We planted lettuces, broccoli, silver beet and a cherry tomato plant.

 

Creative Kawakawa

Monday 1st October




Creative Kawakawa is the name of a movie a group of kids including myself made at kings theatre in kawakawa.
The video is not online yet so it is quite hard to explain.
But we took a video of the train for the end credits, in the end we are all standing under the kawakawa sign.We went to the museum and lots of other cool places.
I had lots of fun explaining my little bit and making the movie.

Movie World (Australia)

Good Morning Everyone,
Yesterday I went to movie world because I am in Australia at the moment and coming back this Sunday I went on Scooby Doo spooky coaster 6 times and then I went on the mini roller coaster 6 times as well and then I went on the Doomsday destroyer once and then I went on Wild west falls 6 times, so here are some pictures of the rides...

                                                                                                                

The spider

Yesterday Granny came. Granny, Tony and I were studying about a Badumna insignis spider. It is a black house spider. its family is called Badumna.  It's prey is most insects which touch it's web.  

Spiders

Spiders

Yesterday when Granny was at our house, helping us clean our windows, we found heaps of spiders in corners of their webs. Granny wanted to know their name so we took photos of the spiders. I also drew some pictures of some spiders. 

After lunch I found our house spider on the internet and got it's name. It is called Badumna Insignis whose common name is: Black House spider. They are also related to the Badumna Longinqua called the Gray House Spider. 

The Black house spider mostly eats flies. It's predators are the white tail spider and parasitic wasp. It lives in the corner of it's web and waits for its prey to come to the web. 

Here are some photos I took and my drawings.

Grandad's Birthday

Yesterday it was my Grandad's 83rd birthday. To celebrate we drove up to there house for some lunch. We gave him a dinner voucher. We also had banana cake with caramel icing. It was so good. Happy birthday Grandad.

Gymnastics Competition                                                                   The first Saturday of my holiday




On Saturday Mum took me to the gymnastics comp in Kerikeri to represent the Kaikohe gymnastics team, with my fellow teammates Chelsea and Deevon.
I had loads of fun even though I didn't win on every apparatus.
I was overly excited when I won 2nd on vault and four extra ribbons for participation.
When our coach Carla and some parents took a group photo I was beaming.
