Going to the skate park

Going to the skate park On Tuesday my uncle came to pick me up and take me to my papa's house. I was so excited that I was jumping up and down. My uncle said hurry up. And I said I am just packing my bag. And when we got there no one was there. So we got all of our stuff out of the car and put them in the house. After we put all our stuff in the house we made our beds. Later on I was bored and then I looked at my bike. Then an idea came up and I rushed to my uncle and asked him if i could go to the skate park and he said yes so i got my bike ready to go to the skate park. First when we got there I saw my uncle going up the half pipe and after he went up the halfpipe he jumped in the middle of the ramp. After he jumped the ramp in the middle he gave me my bike back and I went to practice jumping the half pipe but i keeped on falling off my bike. But I keeped on trying. And then my uncle showed me how to jump the ramp. And I said ok I know how to jump it now. And after i said that my uncle passed me my bike and I went to have a turn. Finally I jumped the middle ramp. Later on my uncle said it is time to go get a feed at my papa’s he said we can come back after we had a feed we had spiggerry bollinaes. I had two plates because it was enjoyable and then I asked my uncle if I could go back to the skate park and he said yes so he said go and get your bike. He asked me if I wanted to ride to the skate park. And I said yes please he said to me to go and open the gate. When he got out of the gate he said to stay on the footpath. I said ok. On the way to the skate park I saw my uncle go past me. Finally I got there. It was a long ride. I asked my uncle if I could cross the road and he said run. When I got there I went to jump the half pipe. My nana rang my uncle up and said to him it was time to go back home. I felt happy because I got to go to the skate park twice. I had a fantastic day because I went to the skate park twice.

Matua Ray's visit

 Matua Ray’s Visit

On Monday Matua Ray came to talk to our class about how to keep our fresh waterways healthy.

First he set up the Whitebait Connection presentation.

Next Matua Ray talked about the clarity of the water.

He used a long tube full of freshwater and gave some of the kids a turn on the tube. I really wanted a turn. 

There was a black magnet and he pulled it down until the kids could not see the magnet.

Then he chose three children to do an experiment.  They were testing some containers to see if they were safe levels for our streams. They used coloured strips of paper to test what was in them.  I thought this was really interesting.  I can't wait to do another whitebait presentation. 

Going to my uncles in Waima

 Going to my Uncles in Waima

On Saturday me and my Grandmama drove to my Uncle’s house to see my baby cousin. 

When we got there my Grandmama said to me to open the gate.

Next when we got to the house and we got the bags out of the truck.

Then we went to the house and the baby was asleep in the pram. 

I went to play on the swing. After that I made up a game. It was called hunting. I found a stick and started to build a hut out of sticks and leaves. Then I made a fire. After that I went to get my Uncle to see my hut. He said that the hut was cool. Then we drove home. I think I had 

a fantastic day seeing my baby cousin and my uncle.
