Water Safety

On the 25/6/13 we went to the Onekawa pools to learn Water Safety. There were five activities. There were  people teaching us different things. there was Tracy, Chi, Karen and Jill. The best part that I liked was putting a life jacket on in the water. It was hard at first but then i finally got it on. For the last activity we had to get into old clothes and then jump in the pool with them on. When I jumped in the pool my pants went over my feet and were making me feel I was going to drown. It was so heavy. Then we took off our clothes in the water. We all had lunch and then had a hour and a half of play. I went on the water slide about ten times and then went into the drowning deep cold pool.

My favorite thing about the going to the pools was like the 3 hours we had free time. We got to go on the swirly slide. We got to go in all the pools but not the adult spa but the kid spa was okay. I went on the slide it was so fun. Claudia and I went in the spa for half and hour and then jumped straight in the cold lap pool that gave us a fright.

Pirrrate Mini Golf

I got in my best friend, Kaitlyns, mums car. We are going to pirate mini golf. Yay. I haven't been here for ages, my last day in Porrirua and I’m spending it with my best friend. Double yay. I could hardly wait. Just a breeze and sunny. glad I'm not at home, I’d  be bored snotless. Back to the golf course. It’s got 18 holes, ones in a pirate ship and another in a cave. The last one hole was the hardest, it’s in a volcano. One, Two, Three holes in one. Awesome, I felt ecstatic after every one. One, Two holes felt like I did it in a hole in fifty. Dang it, bummer. One of them was in a castle. The first time I went there I lost my ball in the lake around the pirate ship. That was with my brother. After the game we added up the scores. Paula, Kaitlyns mum came first with sixty-eight. I came second with seventy-two and Kaitlyn came third with seventy-six. When we had checked the scores over and over and over again, we went home. When I had to come home Kaitlyns dad said something I couldn’t believe what he said to me. Surprised, astonished, amazed. That’s what I felt like. Here’s my perfect equation: Me + My BFF+1 whole day of mini golf=1 whole day of total fun amusement and friends. That was the best day. In my eyes.

onekawa pools

As I jumped into the pool I felt a stingily feeling in my bones. I felt as if I was going to sink down to the bottom but no could swim free. we learnt lots of skills and we swam in our clothes.

My new gymnastics

The big slate grey building rose up in front of me. My hair was pulled into a tight pony-tail wrenching at my scalp as if it was trying to break free of my hair band, which was stretching dangerously like it was going to snap any moment. I gazed up at the gigantic sign. It read ‘Omni gym’ in red and blue lettering with a picture of a stick person, but fatter, doing the splits. I will never be able to do that I said awe struck. I was really nervous. I had wanted to make a good impression so I had been rushing around earlier trying to be ready on time, perfect hair perfect outfit, it had just right but mum just told me “slow down! It will be fine” but it didn't feel like that to me. I slowly trudged up the bumpy path, across saturated grass and up to the big glass door. Inside I could see people running about and jumping around on trampolines. I took a deep breath, creaked open the door and wandered in. bursts of noise greeted me uproariously. “5:30 class!” called an instructor. It was my group. I looked at mum and whispered “wish me luck…” and ran to meet my new gymnastics group.

Flying fox

Adrenaline pumping through my body like fire, air rushing through my hair, whipping it in front of my face as I shoot down the flying fox. Its feels like I am standing on a very windy hill. The metal bar is cold in my hand and when I look up I see that I am whizzing down the thin wire at a tremendous speed. CLACK! Goes the brake and I slow to a halt. The tiring climb back up the hill makes my legs feel like weights. I stumble back up the bumpy slope, acorns skid and slide under my feet.

“Incoming!”
I yell at Chris who looks up and gets ready to catch. The rope feels rough in my hands. I pull it back and fling it as hard as I can. Chris catches it. I run up the rest of the hill, pausing to turn and watch as Liv flies down screaming when I get to the top I collapse on the grass, panting. I watch as gradually, one after the other my team mates go whizzing down the flying fox, only to come back up huffing and puffing. Now it’s my turn again. I really don’t want to make the climb again. Sigh. See you later anyway.

My Dream Room

When you open the door to my dream room you will see white walls with black polka dots. There is nothing else in it since I have security cameras all over the room to see who is coming if it is someone I don't want to see. I put the sirens on and the floor drops open like doors. They land in a pile of rotten,stinky pile of rubbish. If it is someone I want to see I come down in a secret elevator. I take them up and then you come in to my actual room. It has white walls with black polka dots. There are 5 super king-sized bed. 1 for me 1 for my bunny 1 for my kitten 1 for my puppy and 1 for my koala. I have a door going out to my horses stable. I go riding everyday in the morning at dawn. I have magic in my room that makes my animals not get any older. If you type in the right code then you will see these long spiral stairs they lead to my 1000x1000 closet. It is stocked fully with all my clothes and heaps of the stuff that hasn't even come out yet. If you go out to the pool room there is a normal 25 meter pool there is a cold pool a spa and a warm pool. If you go to the middle of the 25 meter lap pool go under to the bottom and push the button you will get sweep down a long slide and will end in a massage centre. With the best massagers and equipment. You go up an elevator  to my room. There is tanks to fit my animals habitats. That is my dream room.

Dream bedroom

If you could have a dream bedroom would it have no gravity but you can breath. Mine would. It would have a switch that you turn on that makes it go on and off. All the furniture would just be off the ground but it wouldn't fly around. The floor would be a humongous sponge or a trampoline. It would change by itself. So fantastic. Across one wall would be a door secretly locked and inside it is a theater for only me, my family and friends. Inside the door on 1 wall would be a lolly machine. You would get tired of a day having lots of fun so the bed was a big, pretend elephant that you sleep on it back. On the wall that got the theater would be another door and inside it would be my horse and a farm to practice on. That's my dream bedroom

The Prison by the Beach

 The Prison by the Beach

Criss - cross fences towering high,

Candyfloss clouds scattered across the sky,

The blue waves toss and turn in the sea,

The sea - foam forming the letters like d,

The fierce wind batters me with howls and cries,

That’s what I can hear and  see with my ears and eyes,

At the prison by the beach.

I started to walk up the stairs but then Mr halls voice said stop there Ruby we'll sit in that row I stopped and waited for my friends. But they went up a row and I was stuck in the row before it. We sat down and when the music stopped and the two speakers came out we screamed as if they were super stars. It was Ronnie from what now and Alice. It was lunch time before we knew it but there was all these amazing speakers like Cam Calkeon, Pio Terei,Billie Graham and Ants Parseth. they were all funny  and they all had amazing stories to tell.

My Favourite Poem

             My Favourite things

Playing on the computer

Piglets pink, pink, pink

Snowflakes white as snow, shimmering and shinning

Bouncing big basketballs and shooting a goal

Hamsters spinning on a spinning wheel fast they go

The nice setting sunset orange and red

Swimming in a race coming first that’s how fast i go

Laughing lots and lots until i can’t breathe

These are a few of my favourite things but that’s not all

Eating ice-cream lick, lick, lick it’s dripping down my chin

Bells ringing everywhere it is time for a wedding

Horses running in a herd galloping fast as they can go

Reading in the library in peace oh how i love to read

Tigers catching their prey all there cubs running everywhere oh how mommy has a hard time

Itchy bites everywhere oh there so itchy

Thunder and lightning oh how i scream and run into bed

Perfume sprayed on me i don’t want to get a rash

Oh sad movies so sad

I simply remember my favourite things now i don’t feel so bad

We get along like a saddle and stirrup.

You are the tassel on the end of my whip.

I’m the wheat in your hay.

You’re the sun that shines bright every day.

You’re my apple that hangs from the tree.

When you’re gone I feel like a Pinto with no spots.

I’m your water bright and blue and always there for you.

Favourite Things 

               Light minty chocolate melting away,

            A brown little puppy barking on hay,

           Nice crunchy lollies that are so sweet,

       Eating chocolate cake with cream,

These are a few of my favourite things

Yummy sushi, chips and dip,

  Riding my scooter with the wind in my face,

          Music loud in my ears, 

These are a few of my favourite things 

     Creaking  gaps and dirty rats 

When I’m feeling sad I remember my favourite things

Then I don’t feel so bad.

Jumping off jet skis

And climbing up the rocks

Swinging off a tree

While trying to get a kite

Winning the mud fights

And roasting marshmallows until there black

These are a few of my favorite things

Beating my brother on video games

And falling asleep with the cat

Turning on the sprinkler when my sisters asleep

And shooting my brother with nerf guns

Reading a book by the fire

And throwing paper planes off bluff hill

These are a few of my favorite things

Prank calling my friends

And pretending to be the police

Winning all the cricket games

For the whole season

Falling asleep with the cat

And playing soccer with the dog

These are a few of my favorite things

When I fall off the roof

When I fail at maths

When I’m feeling sad

I just think of my favorite things

And I don’t feel so bad

My Favourite Things

Brown riding horses and new born puppies

Big muddy puddles and warm fresh jumpers

Hugging my mum and when a harmony sings

These are a few of my favourite things

Rehearsed dances and warm bright colours

Bacon and eggs and snuggly kittens

Fluttering butterflies and buying new bling

These are a few of my favourite things

When there’s burnt toast

When the cat scratches

When I’m felling sad

I simply remember my favourite things

And then I don’t fell

So bad
