My weekend

Last week on Friday I didn't go to school, so instead me and my sister stayed home. It was really boring because we had to do all the chores. Later in the afternoon we started watching movies. We watched House Of Magic, Insidious Chapter 2, Gravity and Rio 2. My favourite was Insidious Chapter 2 because it was really scary.

The next day on Saturday me and my family went to Papakura to watch one of my family members play softball. I think they won because after the game everyone from her team started celebrating. We stayed at the Papakura Softball Club for a really long time but there were other kids there so we weren't that bored. There was also a shop across the road from the club so we never got hungry.

The very next day on Sunday my brother visited us. He needed to catch the bus early to work on Monday and we had the closest house to the bus stop he needed to go to. But he left really early in the morning so I couldn't say goodbye, but thats ok because I saw him on Tuesday, he went with my mum to come get us from the shops.

Vocab Task

This is a Presentation about Kawau Island and the interesting sights and birds that you may see during you holiday there.




I am excited to see many of the native birds because some of their feathers are really fascinating. The other reason is because the activities there look fun!

The History of Kawau Island

Kawau Island is one of the largest islands in the Hauraki Gulf. Kawau was named after the Kawaupaka. Did you know Kawau is one of the most beautiful islands of the Hauraki Gulf and one of the richest in history. Kawau Island was purchased by Sir George Grey in 1862. Sir George Grey had an interest in the natural sciences, and was an enthusiastic collector of plants and animals from around the world. At the time Sir George Grey was serving his second term as governor.

Being A Good Friend

WALT: explain to your reader what being a good friend means

Friends are the people in your life that treat you differently, they make you laugh, they make you cry, but when it comes to friends they're always by your side. Life isnt easy your always gonna get knocked down but remember you’re friends will be there to lift you back up and keep going.

Finding friends isnt easy but in a few years of life you’ll find the perfect ones. They could be tall or they could be short but no matter who they are they’ll always support you, especially when you’re going through rough times. Some of your friends can be a bit unusual but that doesn’t matter, what matters is on the inside not the outside.

When you have friends you don't talk about them behind their backs, and you certainly don’t mock them just to show off in front of others because if you do or have done that nobody would want to be friends with you. If you don’t have friends you’ll never make it through life, you could be all alone because of the stupid mistakes you made as a kid.

The best qualities to find in a friend is respect and honesty. If you want a real friend one thats nice and friendly look for the respectful ones, the ones that listen to the teachers and do the right things on their chromebooks. Honesty is another one, people that tell you the truth or more importantly the ones that don't lie to their parents just because they don't want to do what they say. Honesty is always the best policy.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain, its not something you learn in school, or something that you parents taught you. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship then you never had any real friends.
