Fun beach trip in the holidays

Wenderholm  Beach

In the hot summer holidays, a normal morning. Me, my sister and brother were having breakfast.  Suddenly, we heard “shall we go to Wenderholm beach?” asked dad. We gasped with excitement then without a second thought we said “YES!” We started packing our beach gear.

WE PACKED THE WHOLE HOUSE! My mum started preparing some amazing chicken and soup I know! SO YUMMY. We entered the car. “eek I’m so excited” I said. I could already smell the beach just by the thought of it.

Soon we arrived. Me and my family loved the view there. I saw tall trees and lush green grass , lots of happy people having some barbeque it smells delicious, I even saw a group of people playing frisbee, I heard music!.

We started unpacking and setting up our tent. Once we finished setting up the tent, we sat on the mat and started eating the mouth watering chicken.

Soon after lunch we walked to the water with our boogie boards. “Oh my gosh this is amazing! I smelled the salty water and felt the warm breeze on my skin.  After a few seconds of  staring. What are we waiting for?! LETS JUMP IN! My siblings played and splashed with me.

Soon after, me and my sister thought, Hmm maybe we should try surfing, I said yes. It was so fun! but we kept falling,  so we moved to the shallow part where we enjoyed doing some of our water acrobatic moves.  While we were playing, mum surprised us with ice cream ” twins come here!’ as she always calls us, We swam over to the sand and is that what I think it was?

yes. It was what I thought was “vanilla ice cream!!!” without a thought I started slurping the ice cream all up. “Yum!!”

A couple minutes later we headed back to the water. We were in the middle of a swimming race, then we bumped into these two friendly girls and said “oh hi” the girls said hi back. We let them try our boards.

All of us had so much fun, they asked us ” guys shall we do a board race with buddies? oh my gosh, YES! We raced into the waves then we won! “yay!” All of us were having so much fun until.. They had to go. We all bid goodbye sadly. But that’s okay! I had my sister and brother to play with.

My sister was throwing mud and sand at me! I was furious.. SO I THREW SOME BACK!  A few minutes after we had a sand fight. We dug a big whole in the sand and made sand balls and attacked each other with it and We dug another shallow sand hole which my brother enjoyed so much.

Time passes so quickly especially when you’re having so much fun “right

?” We saw our mum coming towards us and we knew it was time to go home, we had to leave but, we left Wenderholm with our hearts filled so much joy and good new “summer memories” at least we had such a fun time!

have you been to Wenderholm this summer? If not i definitely recommend you guys visit this place.

I hope you liked my blog, see you in another blog post BYE!

willow bank

Today I went to Willowbank Wildlife Reserve and saw a bunch of cool animals like Capybara`s, Wallaby’s we even saw Gibbons. Seeing all the animals was awesome, my favourite part was when I fed the eels, and my other favourite part was when I patted the horse and the donkey, the donkey was almost as soft as a pillow. I also saw some native kiwis it was hard to see them though, because they were in a super dark enclosure, that was  because they are nocturnal which means they only run around at night.

Invisible Ink! Summer Learning Journey.

A few days ago me and Lanny did a summer learning journey together, this time we did not do a video. Instead I’m going to give you the pictures. Now you must be wondering what we did. We made invisible ink! Now i’m going to tell you how to make it and what you do. First you have to get the materials. Here is what they are, You need : a cotton bud (the stick like ones) ,a piece of paper, a small cup of milk or a lemon (and a cup if your using the lemon) and finally a heat source. Next after you get all of those you grab your lemon (if you got milk skip this part) cut it in half and squeeze out the lemon juice into a cup it does not need that much lemon juice so don’t worry about not having enough. Then you dip one end of the cotton bud into the milk/lemon juice and write or draw something on your paper with the end that you dipped. If you have none on your bud and you’re not done just dip it in again. Keep doing this part until you’ve done your picture. Then let it dry for a bit. When it’s dry read the next part.

Finally use your heat source, put your paper over it for a bit. If you’re a kid, get an adult to help you with this. After a little, your picture is done and you can do whatever with it. Enjoy doing this. You can use this post to help you do it again as much as you want. (extra) try make a secret code and get your family to try crack it use picture letters or numbers have fun. Last thing before you go here is how mine and lanny’s turned out. Tell me if you like it. Until next time, bye!

Working from home

Kia ora all,

Earlier today the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) asked us to take action to help minimise traffic movement on Auckland roads while vital infrastructure is urgently repaired.

With the possibility of further weather damage leading to more disruption, the Secretary for Education has directed that schools, kura, early learning services and Tertiary institutions in the Auckland region (Wellsford to Pukekohe) must close for physical attendance and instruction until 7 Feb.  Apologies but school will now open next Tuesday (7th Feb) and we look forward to seeing you then.

What your child can work on at home:

  1. If you have an ipad or laptop – login into Sunshine online (link here) for audio reading books & activities.  Here is the link for the login and password details (you must be logged into a Edmund Hillary school email).  If there are no older siblings in the whanau with a school email to access the login details please Email me on: moiran@edmundhillary.school.nz (I check my emails regularly through the gmail mobile app so will respond to you as soon as I have confirmed your child’s enrolment details).
  2. Practise your alphabet – link to song
  3. Practise your high frequency words – Magenta words, Red words, Yellow words, Blue words
  4. Suggestions on how to plan & start writing at home with your child – link here
  5. Maths – a list of learning goals for junior students in Maths

Muscle car madness

On Saturday me and my step dad Mark went to muscle car madness we bought a two day pass because the burnouts were postponed till the next day. After we bought our ticket we walked over to the cars there were tons of drift cars muscle cars and they even had a replica of Dominic Toretto`s Dodge charger it was so cool, It had a matt black paint job it had a dual exhaust too. Once we had looked at most of the cars we walked over to the food section and had some hot dogs.

On Sunday we came back to watch the burnouts it was much busier, as soon as I walked in I noticed  that there was a lot of different cars that we hadn’t seen on Saturday. After we had a look at those cars, we rushed to the burnout pad so we could get a spot. After an hour of waiting we realised that there was about one hundred people behind us , we started hearing super loud engines , we saw a car come out and it started to do burnouts, all we could see was smoke and then we  heard a loud bang which meant that their tyres had popped! I had such a fun time just us boys together

Book Summary – GHOST

Bula Vinaka bloggers

Heyy, it’s been a while 🙂 I haven’t posted in in like 2 weeks- My post today is going to be a book summary. This post is kind of like my older posts that I used to do after school, if your a “fan” of more than 5 months you’ll know what I’m talking about. Anyway, that’s enough of my blibber blabber let’s get to the summary.

Ghost is a comic book, I’m not sure who wrote it since I don’t have the book anymore. Its about a young girl. Her mother owned a big popular laundromat. After her Mother got with her Stepdad she stopped really taking care of the laundromat. Of course her mother was good to her, she was nice and took care of them. The girl (I’m so sorry I don’t remember her name😓) mother had later on passed due to hitting her head on a rock while swimming, they loved swimming. The girl soon took over the laundromat, her step father became gloomy and an alcoholic. Ghosts were becoming a big thing in her school since it was Halloween! She didn’t believe in ghosts. But soon… I can’t tell you! Read the story to know the rest!!! I got the book from a library, and you can to.

Kia ora, If you need an idea to put a present in this is a good idea for you so have a good read.

This is a very easy and fun way to give a present.

 

What you need:

  • Two pieces of card
  • Scissors 
  • Pen (optionaly)

 

How to make it is:

  1. Fold the point down to make a square. Cut it out.
  2. Fold it the other way so when you open it up you will have a x.
  3. Get a corner and fold it up to the middle of the paper. Do it to the rest of the sides.
  4. Undo it. Fold one of the corners again and then fold it on top of it so it is half way. Do it to the other side than unfold and do it on the next two corners.
  5. Unfold. Find the middle 4 squares and draw two lines from the middle squares. 
  6. Cut along those lines and do not go over them or you will have to start it again.
  7. Fold the two triangles on both sides. Then bring the corners down on both sides.
  8. Lift them up and bring the middle on top of the two triangles. Do on both sides.
  9. Repeat on the other paper.
  10. You are done!!!!

 

The saying for the institutions:  if you do it on one side you do it on the other side .

 

Thanks for reading bye bye.

Hanukkah drawing

During the school holidays I did this art called “Hanukkah art” I didn’t do it fully I just coloured it in.

It was very simple to do, I did it on what is called “Art colouring book”.

My favorite way is that it is really easy and quick and fun to do this, it only took me 2 minutes or maybe even less! it also matched really nicely with the real image and nothing was different.

My struggle was to get it onto my blog and trying to paste it on.

click “HERE” to see my art.
