Blueberries

o you know how blueberries grow? They grow on bushes. Each blueberry is small and round. Many blueberries can grow on one bush. At first, the blueberries are green. The green berries are not ready to eat yet. They need a lot of sun and rain to help them become fat and sweet. When the berries turn blue, they are ripe and ready to be picked. Some farmers grow blueberries in big fields. The people who live nearby can earn money by helping to pick the blueberries. Each one takes a pail out to the field and fills it with blueberries. They work fast so that they can fill many pails. They want to earn as much money as they can. When they are done picking, their fingers are blue from the juice of the berries! After the blueberries are picked, they are put into boxes and sent to stores. People buy the blueberries and take them home to eat. Some people like to wash the berries and eat them one by one. Other people like to cook with blueberries. They make blueberry muffins and pancakes. No matter how you eat them, blueberries taste great!

So the teachers started to gather around on the stage. Team 1 was acting about how music can give you emotions. Next it was team 2 turn to do there item. They were singing a song could The Jungle I really liked how Miss Gaston was singing the song. And I also like how the other teachers were playing their own instrument.

Making Cookies

During the holidays me and my auntie were making cookies. We were making peanut butter cookies I was really looking forward to be eating it. While we were making our cookies me and my aunt decided to play some music.

While me and my aunt finished putting everything we needed for the cookies we started to mixing it. While we were mixing it. It started to come out the way we wanted it to be. After all the arm work we got some on rolled it into a circle shape and put it down. When we finished rolling all of the dough we put it into the oven. But after about like 10 min the cookies were still not ready so we called my mum from work I was scared that she might get angry at me for calling her while she was busy so I gave it to my aunt.

When I gave her the phone my mum picked up. When my aunt called her she said “How do you work to oven?” she said. When my mum finished explaining it to her she started to LAUGH!! So I told her what happened and she said that we have to wait until the oven gets hot so we both Laughed like CrAzY!!! So we waited. When the oven got hot we started to put the cookies in the oven. While we were waiting we decided to watch some videos on Youtube. After about 5 min we bringed out the cookies BUT all of a sudden we could smell the burn. When we turned around the cookies we could see the BURN!!

“Oh NOOO” My aunt said. She got upset because she put lots of effort into it but at the same time we still ate it with Milk. It was OK if it wasn’t BURNT. I had loads of FUN!! Making cookies. I was proud of myself for helping my aunt make the cookies. It was the best!! Thank you aunt for looking after us through the holidays I really appreciate it. You are the best love you heaps hope you had the best holidays too. THANK YOU !!!!! (But I really think the the cookies were an epic FAIL)

Going To Rainbows End

On the most beautiful day we went to Rainbows End. (Ok let me tell what happened from the beginning) Me and my little siblings got up at 8:00am we were still tired but we had to get ready to GO!! While we were up my mum made us breakfast to get us wide awake.

When I finished my breakfast I went to change into my clothes. I was really excited to go and have some FUN!! With my family. When we got there we could see loads of fun things to do. I could see the Roller coaster going like CrAzY!! I really didn’t know what ride we would be going on first.

While we were walking around we decided to go on the Log Flume ride. While we were there the line was so long I really wished that the line was short so that we can go on first. After about 20 minutes it was our turn to go on the ride I was really excited. When we went inside the log we had to wait until the big circle had to move so that our log can move too. “Ahhhhhh” I screamed. When the ride was finished I got a bit wet and my little sister in the front got REALLY!! Wet it was a bit funny. “LET'S GO ON ANOTHER RIDE!” My sister screamed out. So we did.After going on the other rides we had to go home. I was upset but I still had LOADS!! Of FUN! My favourite ride in Rainbows End was the Stratosphere it was the scariest ride of all.

My Big Day At Sylvia Park

On a bright shiny day me, my siblings and my mum went to watch a Movie at Sylvia Park we decided to watch Captain Underpants. We wanted to watch our movie at 1:00pm but at the same time we wanted to go watch the movie right away so we did.

When we got there the movie started straight away. We were trying to look for our sets but instead we just sat anywhere I didn’t know if it was someone else's set but we still sat on it. When the movie started we got the Popcorn and our drinks ready. I was very excited to watch Captain Underpants because I know that it is going to funny.

After half of the movie finish all of our Popcorn and drinks were finish, Even though the drinks were bigger than my head it was still finished. In the movie I really like it how the principle transformed to Captain Underpants and I really liked how it had there own Carnival at school.

When the movie finished we went to have a little walk around Sylvia Park. After an hour we ended up buying clothes like always. We bought my clothes for tomorrow. After we did our little shopping or should I say “BIG SHOPPING” We decided to go and have a feast at McDonald's. After our BIG Lunch. My dad came to pick us up from our big day. I was so exhausted from our big adventure at Sylvia Park.

 

My Sisters 5th Birthday

Yesterday was my sister's 5th Birthday. And she will be coming to Pt England School so now that all my siblings are all at Pt England I am very excited to see them around. Her name is Safaleletaua but for shourt you can call her Sa or Taua.

On her 5th Birthday I got her lip gloss, a book and pens. I was very excited to go and celebrate her birthday with her friends and family. We celebrated her birthday it a childcare could Teuila Kids. While we were waiting for everyone to come one of my cousins came. Then we could see people coming through the door holding presents. When my sister saw the presents she got very excited.

“It’s here” the kids SCREAMED!! Out my mum went to check what was it and it was the Bouncy Castle. The kids were screaming like animals when they were setting it up the kids went to watch superhero videos because it was also Superhero Day. The teachers and my mum were setting up the food for the kids and the Elders. And the cousins were just playing around outside like crazy. “It is time to eat” My mum yelled out to us. So we went inside to eat.

When we finished eating the older cousins including me had to prepare the beds for the kids to sleep at it was pretty tiring to do because you had to carry the beds and do the blankets and had to make the kids go to sleep it was like we were working there. I asked one of the teachers if we get paid and they said yes I was like screaming out YESSSSS!!!! But actually it was a NO!!! I got very upset but I just went with it. While the all the kids were sleeping we went to eat again while we were eating one of the kids were crying so I told the my older cousin to go because I was tired.

When the kids woke up they all wanted to go and play on the Bouncy Castle so then the teachers told them to put on there shoes and to line up and they did it straight away. While they were playing outside the cousins were just looking out for the kids.

The Emoji Face

Going To My Aunt's House

Yesterday Me and my family went to my Aunt's house, When we were there we were playing Tag after playing tag we went to play on the trampling, It was very fun jumping around like Monkeys. We got very bored playing in the trampling so we went inside, When we were inside we went upstairs playing around like CrAzY!

We got very tired so we just went in the rooms making a fort with the blankets and the pillows it so much fun. When we finished making our fort we went inside watching a movie it was could The Emoji Movie it was so funny while we were watching the movie one of our older cousins were sleeping me and other cousins got the pens from another room and started drawing on her face. “Were Finished” I whispered then we all laughed we couldn't hold it in.

When she woke up she told us “What Happened?” Then my little cousin gave her the mirror then she started chasing us so we went outside running for our lives it was very funny, Then she caught us so we followed her inside, She told us to do everything for her we were acting like her slave but it was a bit fun. The boys had to fan her and the girls had to give her food and water. One of the boys accidentally hit her with the fan so he started running for his lives it was so funny so we all hide from her.

When we finished playing the game we went to the fort and started watching the movie. When we finished the movie we started busting down the fort we were going CrAzY we got the pillows and started hitting each other it was SOOOOOOO FUNNY!! When we finished playing we started playing music and cleaning the room because it looked like an animal's room, When we finished cleaning we started dancing to the song it was so much fun.

Someone very special came with us and there names were Leuwina and her sister. They use to come to our school but they had to leave to Samoa causes they live there but they came to New Zealand for visit.

When we finished our White Sunday we went straight home to get ready. I was very excited to go out the family. “Let’s Go” Mum says. So we went straight to the car getting ready to go. The ride was a bit long because it was all the way at Manukau. When we arrived we were a bit late so we went just went to eat.

After our we ate me and cousins went outside to play. We played Tag and Hide and Seek. I was very excited to play. While we were playing me and my cousins went inside to have dessert there were lots of yummy things to eat there were Ice creams, Cake and Loads of things. But I only had Ice cream, it was very delicious I had Hokey pokey, Vanilla and Strawberry.

White Sunday Part 2

Today me and my family had our real White Sunday. Let me tell you what happened first, Me and my family woke up at about 6am I was very exhausted. So first I went to brush my teeth and then went to get change, In White Sunday you would have to wear White. After that I went to have breakfast with the family.

When we finished our breakfast we went to get ready to go Church. I was very excited but nervous at the same time. While I was at Church waiting for the others to come my friend came, I was very happy. So we both went to the hall because that is where we are going to meet the others.

“Talofa Lava Tamaiti!” In english it means Hello Kids. “We are going to do the prayer and getting ready to go inside OKEY!” Every time we have our White Sunday we would always sing a song to enter the Church. I was very nervous to get up the stage. After the little kids my class had to go and get ready.

After the other performance it was us I was very nervous and had all the butterflies in my stomach. I had only one part in our item. I was the first one to get up on the stage so I went. All the kids had to say there parts loud and clear so that the elders can hear us. When it was my turn to say my part I said it out LOUD!!!

After I said my part I was very proud of myself, And I was also happy that I finished my part. After our play we had to sing a song at first it was a fail because we had to sing low so it was an epic fail, So we tried again. “YAY we are done” I said So we all changed back to our clothes.

White Sunday

It is finally the HOLIDAYS!!! “YAY” Me and my family won’t be doing much in the holidays, But I do know that we are go to do White Sunday. I am very excited and a bit nervous because you would have to perform on stage speaking in Samoa. For me it is very hard to speak my own language.

Me and my little siblings will be doing White Sunday this year. “It is time to go” I would tell her where we would be going and she would say “ We are going to practice for White Sunday. Sometimes I don’t like going practices because you would have to do a play, learn your parts and learn the songs. It is a lot of hard work. Sometimes my mom would scold me for not saying the words properly.
