What a beautiful view!

On the 24th of October my mum, brothers , sisters and I went to Mt. Wellington, I was so excited to go up the mountain.

When we arrived on the mountain, my brothers, sisters and I climbed up the mountain. The hill were so steep that we could barely walk. We had to use our hands to get past the very steep part.

Once we reached the top of the mountain we were panting like dogs because we used up a lot of energy going up the mountain so we were exhausted. We were standing at the top in silence when my brother decided to go down to the crater. My sister and I decided to stay and watch the beautiful view of the sun setting across the horizon.

After a little while, we walked to the summit quickly but carefully because the hills were extremely rocky. We all felt the wind blowing on our faces and we had chills. Once we go to the summit we played around like headless chickens. I also had butterflies in my tummy because I thought I was going to fall off the edge of the mountain.

 After a while, we jogged carefully back to the car because it was getting dark. My brother and I walked very quickly. While we were walking we played I spy... I said, "I spy with my little eye, something beginning with 'c'!" My brother gave me the correct answer and said, "cars"

 Once we got in the car, my mum drove us to Carl's Jr to have some $5 fish and chips (it was yummy and cheap). The food was fantastic. 

Soon after we had our meal, we all went home feeling exhausted and full, I decided to watch some T.V for relaxation. We watched the Laughing Samoans. It was hilarious because they danced in a silly way. 

I had so much fun on Mt. Wellington. My favourite part was climbing up the steep mountain and eating the delicious food. 

Have you watched the movie Brave?

On Sunday the 17th of October, my family and I went to my aunt's house to spend time together. We all travelled there in the car and I was so excited.

When we arrived  at my aunt's  house, we said "Hello" to all the family members. After that, we went to the sleep out and we saw our cousins and joined them in watching Coraline.

Coraline is an adventurous cartoon about a little girl. It had a lot of funny scenes in it. It was funny when Coraline went to the circus and the silly mice were dancing joyfully. I also liked the part when Coraline saw a garden that had stunning roses and tulips. I loved watching Coraline

After that we ate some food. We ate Chinese food, pizza, fish, and taro (it was yum). The food was glorious

When I have finally finished eating, my cousins and I decided to play on my other cousin's Xbox 360. I was watching my cousin play Mine-craft. After a while I went outside to play soccer with my brothers and sisters. I was on my sister's team and my brothers won. I was having so much fun.

Then we played passes with my cousins rugby ball. I was really awful at passing the ball but I was very good at catching them.

When we finished playing, we went to have a rest. I decided to wash the dishes because there were so many dirty dishes. I asked my niece to help me and eventually we finished washing plates and cups.

Next we watched a television programme called Lab Rats and Brave. My favourite character was brave because he was funny. There was also a very good moral to the story that you should always listen to your parents.

Unfortunately we had to go home because it was getting dark and we had to get ready for school the next day. On the way home we decided to stop at MacDonald's to have some dessert.We went home feeling exhausted.

I had so much fun and I hope we can spend time as a family again.

I love playing touch with my family!

On the 10th of October my dad dropped my brother's, sister and I  to the Panmure Basin by car. We went there to work on our fitness.

When we arrived my sister and I started walking around the basin straight away. My brother walked with us for supervision. While we were walking my brother accidentally dropped the ball into the water. "No!" I called out. Luckily my brother got it safely out off the water.

We continued on with our walking then we saw beautiful views and houses. We stopped at the 1km mark and played passes with the ball. Next we went to play on the park. I had butterflies in my stomach because I thought I was going to fall down on the high obstacles.

We carried on walking and many people passed by and said hello. My brother and sister and I did some courses and ran around the basin. We did the courses like, the monkey bar, pull ups, star jumps, sit ups and more.

When we finished walking we went to Dunkirk field to play with the rugby ball. We played touch. I was on my dad's team with my sister and we were winning because my dad was the best player of the match. I was the referee once because I was exhausted. My brothers were angry because they though I was cheating and making the other team win.

When we finished playing our game we decided we were going to make it a draw because it was.

Next we went to my grandma's house to say hello to her . I was playing with baby nephew and we were watching bubble guppies on sky t.v.Finally it was time to go home. I was very tired.

I had so much fun at the Panmure Basin and at Dunkirk. I hope we can go back there and play touch as a family again.

Wow! The movie Pan is amazing!

On the 10th of October my siblings, my dad and I went to the Hoyts cinema at Sylvia Park.

When we arrived at Sylvia park, we decided to buy some food at Pakn'save. We bought some hot dogs and drinks.

Next we went into the hoyts building and we bought two tickets for Pan and three tickets for Maze runner 2. I watched Pan with my brother because it was the only movie that was suitable for me. My sister, dad and other brother watched Maze Runner 2. We all bought some popcorn to eat. I was so excited and ready to the movie. I ran to the cinema swiftly and quietly.

The movie we watched was a preview of Pan. It was about a boy named Peter who tried to defeat Blackbeard in order to find out where his mum was.

They went on an amazing adventure with crocodiles, fairies and Mermaids. Unfortunately Peter Pan's mother was killed my Black-beard and even though Pan was sad, he still had the power to fly and defeat Blackbeard.


I enjoyed the movie that I watched and I hope that I would be able to watch it again. After the movie I walked slowly to the car because I felt tired and excited to go back home to have a rest.

I had so much fun at the movies and (I hope I can go to the movies again to watch another great movie like Pan.
