We go in to the sushi shop for lunch and then we go to a Christmas shop and have a look around and the we go back to the car. We listened to some songs and play name the song.  I got the most right it was fun.  And then we are in the desert road but as Charlotte and I say the endless desert road.  We drive and drive some more and then finally we are there at Taupo!  First we go to rebel sport to get a jersey for me and then we go to get a dress for the school dance.  Last we go to the dairy then we go to the house and get tea ready soup and buns we eat, then we watch MKR NZ.  I like seeing the Apiti girls on TV.Day 2Mum and I get up, still a little sleepy and have breakfast. Then we tidy up and put the things in the car and we jump in ready for a long drive. We start another long drive to my grand parents home called Greenwood park we drive and drive some more and then we are in Rotorua we stop for lunch. I order a burger we eat and then we go back to the road for a hour drive to get there.  On our way I am the voice for the satnav on we go though the windy bit I start to feel sick. At long last we are there, we go up to the door and ring the door bell, we go in and say hi. We get some food while my gran gets my cousin from kindy and we play around for a bit then we go for a walk and gran  shows us the pool and the other things there.  My favorite bit is the pool and the bunny. Now we go for a walk called the Quail trail.  We do that and then go back and play around some more and then it is time for my cousin to go home so my grandpa takes her home and I play some games on the i-pad.  Now it is time for tea we had Middle eastern lamb wraps with feta and herds yum yum. We let tea go down then we go for a night swim its like its our private pool because no one was there except us. I do a few lengths and then hop in the spa it was really nice then it is time to go home and go to bed.Day 3 I wake up about 9.10 and read for a hour and then go have breakfast at about 10.15. I get ready for a walk and then we go we see lots of birds I was amazed how many there were and the beauty and there songs. We continue and then I stop to look at the view then when gran and mum caught up we go we come out in the open and walk around the village and then up to the house. In a few minutes my cousins and aunt get here. Ruben turned nine and Elena is 4, Lucy is 5 months.  Will is at school he is 7. We play tag then it is picture time I get one with Reuben and Lucy.  Lucy is so cute.After they leave Gran, Granddad and Mum and I get in the car and we drive to Mount Maunganui.  We set off to walk around the Mount.   Granddad and I go around on the rocks, and then we climb up a steep bushy bank.  Och I got pricked by a prickle.  We finish the walk with a nice refreshing ice-cream.  
Day 4I wake up ready for a new adventure.  We are off for a walk around the estuary with Aunty Liz and baby Lucy in her buggy.  I push Lucy on the walk, we hear lots of different birds and we stop at the lookout.  Then we walk back to the car   After our walk we go to a nice french cafe and I have a croissant.  I have some cuddles with baby Lucy.  Granddad and I go to the putting green and I get two holes in one and I win by one point then we go back to the house and I get changed in to my togs and go down to the pools to do 20 lengths. When we get back mum and I get ready to go up to my aunts houses and see the cousins.  Aunty Liz has made a delicious tea of chicken kebabs, pasta, salad and tomatoes.  After tea we go outside and play rugby and wrestling on the trampoline.  Reuben and Will didn't know that a girl could fight.  After that we did sparklers we each got two sparklers.  Uncle Alan lighted them for us and we ran like crazy.  Then sadly it is time to go. I have enjoyed my time here and I will miss my family.

The bantam and the soldier summary

The bantam and the soldier summary

Young Bantam getting picked on by the other Bantams and its war time.

When war came to the village he took the good animals with him and he left the bantams to fend for themselves.

The little bantam slept away from the others.

There was an explosion the bantams got blown up except for the little one he stayed in the bush and he was the only one that survived.

The soldiers headed into the village one was Arthur and he got picked on like the bantams by the other soldiers.

The farmer heard movement in the bushes and it was the bantam.

Arthur freed the bantam and put it in his coat pocket.

The soldiers tease Arthur about having the bantam.

The soldiers started to like the bantam.

They collected bugs for her and she rewarded them with a egg.

Bertha kept hope in the soldiers.

The battle moved past them.

They weren't allowed to take bertha with them.

They took Bertha back to the farmer and said goodbye.

Arthur returned home and was friends with his fellow soldiers.

He said to his niece i want to tell you a story and told her about the bantam called Bertha.

Moral and message of the story:

• if you're nice to people you get good things back
• if you stay strong in your mind about something to achieve your goals.
• the chicken brought hope to the soldiers
• if you are really positive about something and others aren't stay strong about it and eventually th
• ey will come around to it.

Today I am going at lunch time to watch my sister play netball and my brother play hockey.

The Holidays

In the holiday, we went to our house in Taupo.  We swam to our secret island, where you have to swim through the tunnel.  It is so beautiful it is like a shooting star with all the different shells.  I would love to sleep on our island when you can see the full moon if you are in the right spot.  So we ask my Mum and she said yes we can.  It was so hard to get the sleeping bags there not wet.  I got the moon spot and Charlotte got the shell spot, she loves that spot.  I love the moon spot because you can see Orions-Belt, the Southern Cross and the two Pointers.  I love having a sister to share our fun.
When Charlotte and I went for a midnight swim, it was freezing.  We want to sleep there every night. Surprisingly we are allowed to.  I hope we don't get caught when we have a midnight feast. When I woke up, I felt a morning breeze and realize Charlotte is not here.  I look in the tunnel and she is there waiting for me to wake up.  Time to go for a morning swim, it was 7 o'clock on the dot but it was time to go back to the house, so now it is time to swim through the tunnel to shore.  Charlotte has to help me get up on to the shore.                                "Yay, time for teddy bear pancakes." I said.

"Mum, can Charlotte and I go on a super big adventure?'
"Only if you can be back by 10 o'clock" replied Mum.
 "OK Mum, sure will do. Charlotte, do you want a swim or a walk?" I said.
  "A walk and lets see if Barkley wants to come." said Charlotte.
 So we set of for a walk on a mountain track.  I don't know where it goes, but it leads to a park.
 "Yay, race you" shouted Charlotte.
Charlotte wins because she knows the way.  Time to go home, we will take Barkley home and go to the island.
"Want to race? Go ! I am going to win", we yelled. And I do.  It's lunch time and we have hash-browns - Yum!

   In the night, a big black storm came and I had to get out of the moon spot or I would be soaking wet in the morning.  Charlotte and I can't go back because we don't have a torch.  It was a gloomy black stormy night!
"Yay its morning and we are dry!! Victory!!" I  happily say.
 "Whats for breakfast?" asks Charlotte.
" Little weet-bix" said Mum.
 "Mum can we go for a family swim?" Charlotte asked
"Yes you can" Mum replied
 "Thanks, we will be back soon ! ok?."  said Charlotte.
"I want to swim but it is freezing cold." I replied
 "Charlotte, do you want to go for a Kayak?" I yelled
 "OK sure ! " Charlotte replied.
" Let's race to the buoy" I say
 Charlotte goes backwards.  I win because I go forwards which was funny.  It was so much fun.  "Charlotte, do you want to go forward?" I asked.
 "Yes of course" Now we have a race going backwards, Charlotte wins.
Time for tea - yum, fish and chips.
"Lets have a game of Apples to Apples."  Charlotte and I are a team, we are the champions, we have girl power, together we can win anything.  We go back to the Secret Island - snorkel 'check' Midnight feast 'check' flippers, hot chocolate 'check'. I say that drink melted in my mouth like a chocolate bomb -  it was so good.  I can't wait till the morning, breakfast is pikelets - they go sizzle, sizzle - yum!  Breakfast is served by Charlotte and Lauren - the best chefs in the world!  "Do you want to play five-crowns?'asked Charlotte                                                   "Yes ok sure" I answered.  I want to win but we have a tie.  I love being on holiday with my family.                                              "Lets go for a swim"Charlotte says.                                              "OK, wet suit, towel, lets go." I excitedly answer.                         After our swim it was sunbathing time. 

Then we go to the bach, Mum is ready to go out.

"Do you want to go, to the supermarket?" said Mum.                  "No " I said.                                                                                       " I thought that you would, " answered Mum. 

My brother and Dad go home to Apiti.  The girls all stay for a couple more nights. We spend time back on the beach and I go diving.

I know we have to go home - a great holiday has to finish.
