Could someone please peel off the shrimp skin for me?

On a cold cloudy morning, my family and I wanted to go to Hamilton to visit our cousins, aunties, uncles, grandma and grandpa. "I can't wait to go to Hamilton again!" my sister and I exclaimed excitedly.
          While we were going to Hamilton, my sister and I felt bored of listening to my mum and dad's conversation so we decided to play on our iPads. We were both playing a game called Farm heroes saga. I kept on losing the game because it was so confusing. Soon we arrived.
          First, my cousin Kylie and I exercised before we played dodge ball. "Okay, run as hastily as a cheetah to the end of the deck and back five times," I said to her. Then it was my turn. I had to do it 12 times in high speed.
          Then dinner was served. I ate some shrimps and mussels because it was one of my favourite sea foods to eat. The shrimp's skin was slimy which caused it to become hard and took a while to peel off. "Yum!" my cousin said. My grandma, grandpa, aunties, uncles, mum and dad were so busy laughing and chatting to each other so quickly that I couldn't hear a single word.
          Once my cousins, sister and I had finished eating our foods, all of us playing dodge ball. The first tagger who had the ball was R.J. "Ah, I got hit!" I called out loudly. Then it was my turn. After I had a couple of tries, I threw a big hit towards my sister. "Yes," I said. My sister was great at targeting others.
          It was an awesome time down in Hamilton because we got to eat seafood like shrimps, mussels and fish. We also got to play a lot of fun games. I hope we could go back to Hamilton again so that we could visit my cousins, aunties, uncles, grandpa and grandma again soon.

Have you heard of a young, talented girl named Tasha?

On a beautiful, sunny and hot afternoon, the whole school went to a Duffy assembly at 1:30.
      We went to a clean room where no classes is held at the moment. Mrs. Dines put on a song called Duffy Kid. Some of us didn't remember the lyrics from last year and that's why we got a bit mixed up.
      Meanwhile, a visitor came. Her name is Tasha. "Hello everybody!" she said loudly.
"Hi," we replied back. Tasha introduced herself by telling us how she got to become a singer and a lawyer. She also said that being a lawyer, also requires a lot of reading so we need to read a lot because in every job that we will do, we always need our reading skills and comprehension.
      Then Tasha amazed us with her strong and extremely beautiful voice. When she sang to us Mama knows best, "Wow! her voice sounds incredible," everyone whispered. Tasha was bright and confident and she started singing when she was about 6 years old. When she was finished with her introduction, she gave a Duffy box which was filled with books to us.
      What a blast! I had an awesome time getting to know Tasha and listening to her voice. Next time, I hope I could meet Tasha again and hear her fantastic singing voice.

Mmm, these brownies are so crunchy!

On Wednesday, our class room 7 had a shared lunch because we worked so hard this term. We all felt excited, happy and glad.

Ring, ring, ring! The bell rang and we began to open the containers that had the food. First we took a whole class photo, then we made funny faces and we yelled, "Beans!" Then we had another class photo and people wev rushing as rapidly as a cheetah to find a spot.

I was so happy because I couldn't wait to eat the delicious food! We each picked a person to choose their food. There was pizza, doughnuts, cupcakes, sushi, bananas, cake, brownies, bread, cookies and more! "This is soo... tasty!" I said with a smile. Our teacher gave us drumsticks, bread, and other foods. A while later, some of us were full and our tummies were about to burst.

I had a fun time eating all the food because they were yummy! It was as delicious as eating cotton candy. I hope the whole class will work even harder so that we could have shared lunch twice.

Woohoo! We tied with Pt. England!

On Wednesday, the year eights, sevens, fives and sixes from St. Patrick's School had a basketball tournament after school. Miss Chao told us to be at the Tamaki Recreation Centre straight away.
       My sister and I were the first people of St. Patrick's School to be there. My dad lead my sister and I to the changing room so we could change into our P.E uniform. Once we were changed, he took our bags and our school uniform back to the car. He said that he will be back as rapidly as a cheetah because he had to go and pick up my mum so that she could come and watch the basketball tournament as well.
       The basketball game was about to start so Miss Chao decided who was going to be substitutes and who was going to be first up. Siu, R.J, Rhonda, Rosary and Dhon were going to play first while Launoa, Glen and I were going to be the substitutes. I was feeling nervous because it was my first time that I am playing against Pt. England.
       Beep! The game started and the basketball team was really focused because they were putting a lot of pressure on the other team. Then Dhon got the ball and ran as quickly as he could and shot a goal. After the teams got a few shots in, Glen, Launoa and I went to replace Rhonda, Rosary and Dhon. "Go Shannon!" my mum cheered out loudly. I felt that she was very supportive of me. Then the game continued.
       Whistle! I tried to go as speedily as I could to get the ball from Pt England School. Miss Chao told us to be strong on them so that we can win. My feet was running quickly when I saw the basketball roll towards me. I grabbed it and bounced the ball. However I was trapped and so I didn't know what to do. So Pt. England took it away from me. Then someone from my team tried to get a shot in the hoop. A loud noise sounded and it signalled the end of the game. I was very proud and happy of myself and my team because we tied with Pt. England at the end.
       I had an amazing time at the basketball tournament because we were focused on the ball. Next Wednesday, I hope we can win our games.

Yay! We now have a basketball hoop!

On Sunday, my family and I went to the Warehouse to get a basketball hoop. We had breakfast first before we went to get a basketball hop. Then we went to the Warehouse in the car.

          When we went inside the store, we went to look for a basketball and a hoop straight away. When we saw the basketballs, we thought that they weren't pumped up properly however they were all beautiful. My dad chose a nicely pumped up ball because we didn't have any ball pump. Then we went to get a basketball hoop. My dad and mum saw a junior hoop and it was $80, we didn't know that it was a small one because it came in a huge box. "I have a feeling that hop is too small," I said. So my parents and my sister tried to find a bigger hoop as fast as they could. We found one that was big enough so we bought it.
          Once we went out of the store, we went to the pizza shop and ordered a butter chicken flavoured pizza. The workers said that we could pick up the pizza in 20 minutes. We waited for my mum to get the pizza and then we headed back home. I ran as quickly as I could back to the house because I was so excited about playing with the basketball.
          My favourite part was when we got the basketball and the hoop because my sister and I have always wanted to get a hoop. My family and I was so happy because this way we can exercise anytime we want. When my sister and I get better at playing basketball, we might get a higher basketball hoop.

Knock, Knock!

On Sunday, my family's friends came to Auckland to visit us. In the morning my and I had to do some maths activities before they came. Soon they arrived. "Vine, Shannon go upstairs and finish your maths", my dad said. "Okay!" my sister and I replied. On the way going upstairs, my sister ripped her page by accident as we were rushing to get to our room. We ran as swiftly as we could up the stairs.

When we arrived upstairs, my sister and I went to our parent's room to complete the work that our dad has set us. After that my sister started singing. "Stop, I can't concentrate and I bet you can't either", I said to her. "Okay fine!" she replied. When we were finished, we went to have a shower so we could change into our best clothes.

When we were all ready, we went downstairs and ate some food. As my sister and I ate the food we said, "Mmmm..." The food was delicious because it smelt and tasted so good. There was fried rice, steamed rice, fried meat, muffins, bananas and more.

After that, my sister and I played some games on the computer. We played a game called Agar.io and bad ice cream. Soon after, a visitor's son came and asked my sister and I, "Could I play?" he asked.

"Okay, you can play", we replied with a smile.

"Oh, I'm Notch and I am 7 years old", he said. So we played basketball together, we practised bouncing the ball as fast as we could. We also told funny jokes to each other. One of them was Knock knock? Who's there? Doughnut, doughnut who? Doughnut disturb!

That was a fun day because we played games and we made jokes. The food was especially delicious. Yum!

Ewww! The smoke smells disgusting!

On the last Friday of Term 2, the whole school went to the Aotea Centre. We went there by bus. People were really annoyed because they kept on talking. After a while on the bus, we arrived and inside the centre it was enormous. It felt as if we were going to meet a royal family. Then we all had to put our bags away in a little corner.

          The teachers lead us to a room in the Auckland Town hall where we were going to watch a performance from the dance company. We had to wait for St. Therese to arrive so that we could watch the performance at the same time. After a while, the dance company started to dance. When they rolled up as small as a rat, I was frightened because it felt like they were going to turn into monsters when they started moving in slow motion. Their dance was amazing because they did their moves gracefully.
          After they performed, the people did another performance but this time we had to focus on what kind of koru shape they formed during their dance. It was really difficult to see the shape of the koru because they were all moving very quickly.
          Then after they were done, we exited out of the room. We took our bags and headed to the Aotea Centre. St. Therese went before us and when we arrived at the centre, we had to put our bags down together again in a spot. St. Therese went to do a different activity and we were making stories. A man told us that in a story, there is a beginning, middle and ending. Meanwhile, we thought of the story and it was about Goldilocks and the three bears. That was a lot of fun!
          After that, we watched a different performance. It was funny because when the girl tried to get in the lime light, it kept on moving as if the light was running away. I didn't really understand the story because they spoke in Te Reo Maori. When the girl turned backwards, smoke came out from a machine and it was meant to be like passing gas. Some people were complaining about the smell of it. However, the people that were sitting on the top seats and I didn't get to smell it.
          After the show, we went back to our school. I was happy because we got an opportunity to go on a trip with another school and see professional performances.

Mmmm, this burger is delicious!

On Sunday, my family and I went to the church, the beach, and Carl's Junior for some food. In the morning, it was 7:00am and after I woke up, I went downstairs to watch T.V. My sister followed me. We watched The Voice Kids battle rounds. The songs that they sang were Keep holding on, Billionaire, I can and more. By 9:50am, my family and I were all ready so we went off to St. Mark's church.

When we were there, there was hardly anyone inside. A few minutes later, mass began. The priest read the gospel. It was about faith. He said that faith can not be proven because some people don't believe in God. After the gospel was read, the priest blessed the bread and the wine. Then we all lined up and took the bread. Some of us were blessed and drank the wine.

After mass was finished, we went to Carl's Junior and ordered some drinks, fries and burgers. Then we went to the beach to have our food and explore the place. When I came out of the car, I was shivering and the wind blew straight at me. "It's freezing out here," I said shakingly. I saw a car and a dog came out. I felt frightened because it was a big dog. I walked as speedily as I could back to the car. "Here's you burger," my dad said. I ate it and it was delicious! My mum, dad and sister went back into the car as well because they were as cold as I was.

Then we went back home and took a rest. My family and I was happy because we had yummy burgers from Carl's Junior the beach, even though it was cold.

Are you an advanced guitar player?

On Sunday, my family and I went to Pakuranga Plaza so that we could buy a guitar. We went to a shop where there were musical instruments and where we could a guitar that is cheap for me.

When we were inside the music instrument shop, I felt excited because I couldn't wait to own a guitar. There were so many guitars to choose from. Then my family and I saw a red big guitar. I thought it was too big for me to play it. "Could we get a smaller guitar?" I asked. So we looked at the smaller ones. I looked as carefully as I could to see which guitar I liked. However, I changed my mind because I thought what the bigger one would be good for when I grow older. So we decided to get the big red guitar. We had to wait for the guitar to be tuned and for the string to be replaced.

"Where do we go while they are organising for the guitar to be ready?" my dad asked.
"Countdown!" my mum replied. We went inside the supermarket to get some groceries. When we were done, my mum said, "Let's eat."
"Okay, I'll have Burger King." my sister and I said. We proceeded to the food court and ordered fries, burger, ice cream, drinks and dumplings. We ate as swiftly as we could because the guitar mightn't been ready to be collected. After we ate we excitedly went straight back to the shop to pick up the red guitar.

My sister and I were happy to buy it because we've always wanted to learn how to play it. Today has been a pleasant day with my family. I wish we could spend more family time together like this.

Mum, dad, can we get a drone please?

On Saturday, my family and I went to Noel Leeming to get my grandma a present for her birthday. "What do you want to get for your grandma's birthday?" my mum asked.
"A phone! We remember that she wanted one." we said.
"I'll give her $50!" I said.
"Me too", said my sister. My parents got $50 from the bank and then we went to Noel Leeming.

When we were inside, my sister, dad, mum and I looked for a phone. "Look! I found a drone!" my dad said. We were surprised because we've never seen a drone before. My mum was focused on finding a phone so she wasn't interested in looking at the drone. There were so many phones and they were all really nice. Before long, we came across a HTC phone. We liked it so we decided to get it. It took a while for my mum to pay for the phone. Meanwhile, my sister and I thought about playing our favourite game Agar.io.

We both went to the laptops and typed in the word Agar.io. We found the game so started playing it. My sister and I were using different laptops so we didn't have to wait for each other. As I was getting bigger, but then someone ate me. To play Agar.io, you start as a small ball and you need to eat small dots to get bigger or eat other people's if they're smaller than you. Growing bigger was difficult for my sister and I because there were more people that were bigger than us.

After a while, my mum finished paying for the HTC phone and we went home for a rest. I felt happy because we bought a gift for my grandma and we got to play Agar.io. Next year, I hope I can get an even better gift for her on her birthday.

This is so tasty!

During the weekend, my family and I wanted to go to Hamilton we packed our clothes and put them all in a big bag.

When we arrived in Hamilton, we went straight to my cousins house. I was so excited to see them because my family and I haven't seen them for a while. 

When we were inside, we started playing some games. First we played basketball. I wasn't that good at shooting but I persevered because I didn't want to give up. My cousin was great at shooting! We also sang karaoke. The songs that we sang stayed in my head for a long time. We sang Flashlight, Nyan cat and other songs. The most difficult song to sing was Nyan cat because you have to keep singing, nyan, nya, nya, nya, nya, nya... as rapidly as you can. Then we played some card games. My dad tricked me with a magic trick but I was able to see a loop hole. That was a lot of fun.

After that, we ate some food. There was Filipino food, chicken, sausage, hashbrown and more! My favourite was the chicken madness because it was crunchy and tasty. I tried to eat as slow as I could because I didn't want it to waste. We ate most of the chicken, because it was so delicious.

I had a fun time at my cousin's house because we played awesome games and ate delicious food! I hope I get to eat chicken madness more often.

Have you been to a baptism before?

It was a cold, bright sunny Sunday morning. My family and I decided to go to Matamata for my mum's friend's baby's baptism. "Are you all excited?", my mum asked.
"Yes!", we shouted.
             Two hours later we arrived at Matamata. First we went to my mum's friend's house. Then we went to the church. Since it's our first time here, we are allowed to wish for anything!", my mum said.
"Really?", I replied.
"Yes!", my mum shouted. We were so happy because we got to pray for anything to Lord.
               A few minutes passed by. Then the baptism started! Father started by making the sign of the cross. Then he read the gospel and read out some prayers out as loud as a dog. Yay! The baby is now baptised with holy water!
               After that, we went back to my mum's friend's house to have some food to eat. There was pork, cupcakes, marshmallows, salad and other Filipino food. I loved the cupcakes because of how sweet it was. I kept on eating the cupcakes because it was as nice as chocolate porridge. "Yum!", I said.

It was an awesome tome at Matamata because I love to celebrate baptisms. It is such a special celebration.

Oh no, I hit the shuttle straight up to the ceiling!

Last week on Friday, my class and I quickly walked to the hall to have our last badminton session.

          We played stuck in the mud to warm up our bodies. We played the game for about four minutes.

          After our bodies had warmed up, coach Ben told us to find our own spot around the hall. He told us to practise hitting the shuttle towards the ceiling softly with our rackets. We practised for a little while until we have made some improvement.

          Then coach Ben told us to split ourselves into groups of six. He got three badminton nets and set up three courts and each group went to a court. Our group against each other with one player on each side. "Yay! It's my turn!" I said to myself. I won! Then it was the next player's turn to compete against me. I tried to focus on the shuttle so that I could hit it. Sometimes we hit the shuttle straight to the net and up to the ceiling but we kept trying because we wanted to improve our skills.

          That was an badminton session. I had a great time competing against other people. When I play badminton next time, I want to focus on hitting the shuttle over the net.

Woohoo! I reached the top!

On Monday, my family, cousins, aunt, uncle and I decided to go to Climbzone because my cousins, sister and I loves to climb. First, we went to a restaurant before we went to Climbzone so that we could have fuel up and have energy for our climb.

               Once we were at the restaurant, we picked some Chinese food. We had steamed rice, prawn, pork buns, chicken feet, beef, squid, dumplings, spring roll and more! We had a lot of food and we ate a lot. "Their food makes my tummy full because it is so delicious!", I said. 

"Same as me", my cousin replied. After our tummies were full, we went to Climbzone.

               My cousins, sister and I went to a man so he can put our harness on for us so we would be safe climbing the wall. When we were ready with our harness the man taught us how to climb and told us the rules about rock climbing. After we were told the rules and how to climb, we were allowed to start rock climbing.                We climbed up as high as we could. "Yay! I did it!", I shouted. One of my cousins and my sister tried to climb up to the top as quick as a mice but it was too difficult for them. "This is too hard Shannon! What is your technique?", my cousin asked. "Use your muscles to pull yourself up!", I said. My cousins, sister and I had a race. We tried to climb as rapid as a cheetah up to the top. Yay! It was a tie!

               That was a fun time at Climbzone. I love to climb and have races with other people. When my cousins come again, I hope we can go again so I can beat my time going to the top.

Yay! I shot the ball into the hoop!

On Sunday, my family and I went to Hamilton to celebrate my grandma's birthday. We got up early because we had to get both the food and ourselves ready as quickly as a racing car.
               We had to go through the drizzling rain to get in the car. It took an hour and 30 minutes for us to get to Hamilton. Once we arrived there, we took out some food from inside our car. "I feel hungry!", I shouted. I looked at the food and smelt it closely, "Mmmmm..."
               Minutes passed by and the party hadn't start. I got bored so I wanted to play on my iPad. Even after I've been on it for a little while, the party still hadn't started. "Do you want to play basketball?", my cousin asked."Sure!", I replied. It was a lot of fun playing basketball with my cousin.
               Finally, the party started. First we took some photos. We prayed before we ate, "Yay!" Then we sang my grandma a happy birthday song. After that, we ate some food. There were pork, salad, sushi, cake and Filipino food. I ate some pork because it was my favourite food to eat. "This is hard to bite", I said to myself. I tried to bite as hard as a shark's teeth. Once I had finished eating most of my food, my tummy started to rumble a bit, so I sat down for a while.
               Minutes later, my cousins and I went on a scavenger hunt. I had to hide seven items. Then it was my cousin's turn to find the seven items. "I found one!", my cousin shouted.
"Another one!", my other cousin said. After they found all the items, we decided to play basketball. We had a lot of fun playing and shooting the ball into the hoop.
               It was a lot of excitement and happiness. I loved the food and I loved playing basketball. I hope we can try a different game.

Have you had your graduation ceremony?

On Saturday, it was a freezing cold sunny morning. My family and I heard about how my cousin just had his graduation. My mum had to go to a party first before the graduation celebration. My sister, dad and I got ready quickly so that we could go to the graduation celebration.
               Once my sister, dad and I arrived at my cousin's house, we waited for the other visitors to come. Yay! The pork had finally arrived! I was really happy because I love to eat pork. My aunties, uncles, cousins and my mum came after that.
               When we have all gathered, we ate some food. "Yum!", I said. There was pork, lasagna, cupcakes, chicken and Filipino food! I loved the food and so did everyone else.
               After we had finished eating, my cousins and I played some games. First we played hide and seek and all of us tried to hide in a secret place as fast as we could. Then we decided to tumble. We did forward rolls, handstands, cartwheels and more! "Ugh! I'm so tired!", my cousins shouted. "Let's take a rest", replied my sister. Minutes later, my cousins and I had enough rest so we played some music from the beats speaker. I love the beats speaker because they were as loud as a lion.
               It was an awesome time at my cousin's graduation because we had delicious food and we played games! I hope we could go back to my cousin's house next weekend so we can play more games together.

Have you been rock climbing before?

It was a cold drizzly morning. Yay! Another birthday party to go to! I got up and got dressed. After that, I put on my shoes.
               Then my mum and my sister dropped me off at Climbzone. Once I arrived there, I looked for Cheska but I couldn't find her. I felt confused because I was searching for her everywhere. Before I climbed, I had to wear a harness for safety in case I fell.
               Yay! I am now ready to climb! I thought it would be hard but it was easy. After that, I went to Adventure Land. When I was there, Cheska saw me and came up to me. "There you are," I said. Then I saw Kayla, Gabby and Cheska's other friends.
               The first activity that we did was rock climbing. We raced each other up the walls. I raced with Kayla and Cheska. We tried to go as fast as we could to get to the top. Kayla won the first race. Gabby and I had a race as well. "Three, two, one, go!" I shouted. It was funny because we were having trouble climbing. To me it was the hardest rock climbing up the wall. We had to cling into small blocks and big blocks. "Gabby, when we go down, let's go slowly and fly gracefully like an angel!", I said.
"Okay", she replied. We looked like birds. I was laughing because while we were going down slowly, we kept on bumping into the walls.
               Then we played a few games. First we played Hide and seek tag. We played it a few times. "Let's play Infection!", said Cheska's friends. We ran away as fast as we could and hid from the tagger. It was fun because I loved hiding.
               We got hungry so we had some food. I had a sausage sizzle, fried chicken and some rice. "Yum!", said all of us.
               It was an incredible time at Climbzone. I had fun climbing the walls and playing games. Maybe I'll have my birthday there next time.

Have you ever received your citizenship certificate?

On Tuesday, my family and I went to the citizenship ceremony. We were super excited because we were about to become New Zealand citizens. It started at 10:00 am and finished at 11:00 am. 

It started to rain when we arrived there. "Let's go in the car!", shouted mum. Then all of a sudden the rain became smaller and smaller and then it stopped. "Don't worry, it is not a lot of rain coming down from the sky!", I said. 

When we were inside the venue we had to wait for the door to open because that was where the ceremony was going to be. A few minutes later, more people came and they also waited with us. Then the door opened.  

When we were seated, I saw a bible. I took a quick look at the scriptures while I waited for the ceremony to start. 

"Welcome to everyone here at the ceremony", the speaker said. First, some people performed a Maori dance. Then they shared a video about the new citizens in New Zealand. My family and I enjoyed it. After that, it was time for handing out the citizenship certificates. We were very excited about it because we were about to receive our certificates. "Ronald, Charity, Vine and Shannon, Philippines!", the speaker read out. I was a little bit nervous and shy because I don't really like to stand in front of an audience. Then finally we got our certificates. 

After that, we went to KFC and had lunch. We ate some chickens and some fries. After that we took a rest because we were tired.

My favourite part was when we received our certificates because it proves that we are really citizens of New Zealand and that New Zealand is our country. I would love to see other people receive their citizen certificates when it's their turn.

When did you first celebrate Mother's day?

On Sunday, it was Mother's day! My family and I woke up on a bright , cold, sunny morning. "Where should we go?", asked dad.
"Church first!", mum replied. We had to change into our outdoor clothes before we went out.

When we arrived at church, it had already started. "Are we late?", I asked.
"No.", mum replied. However, I thought we were. After church, my family and I thought that it was too early to go to the restaurant so we decided to wait for a bit. While were waiting, we decided to go to the pet shop.

Inside the pet shop, there was a pond filled with comets. We also saw turtles. They were cute because of their small size. There were fish from the sea as well! "I found Dorothy!", I shouted. It was one of my favourite fish because it reminds me of the movie Nemo. There were Arowanas too! They are fish that are said to be lucky.

After exploring the pet shop, we went to the super market to get some food.
