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, that birthday party was amazing!

On eleventh of July 2015 we celebrated my niece’s 4th birthday. We celebrated it at my cousin’s house. My grandma, uncle, aunt, cousins, siblings , nephews, niece and my parents were at the birthday celebration. When we arrived at the house, was a bouncy castle, a big house tent and a lot of people, it was superb.

First my siblings and I played Last card. It was boring but it was fun when we won. We also played President. President is a game when every player has 13 cards and the first person to place all their cards down is the winner. We also played kemps and it was was awesome. The game is played like this, there are four players involved. There are two pairs and they each have a difficult signal. The person who has 4 of the same cards signals their partner so they can say say kemps!

After a while, I went to the bounce house and I  was jumping up and down like a monkey. It was outrageously fun. Then my sister came and we took some pictures with my niece’s tablet. Next, we went in the tent house to eat and sing the happy birthday song. We said a food grace, then we all had some food to eat. We had MacDonald's and barbecue. After that, we went to play outside and we played tag. I had so much fun.

Next my cousin, sister  and I gave out party bags to the children. There were party poppers, lollies, chocolate, chips and bubbles. Everyone were so crazy and impatient like jumping monkeys. Then we had to go home.

I had so much fun. I hope I can go to another great birthday with the bouncy castles again.

Do you know how fun Kelly Tarlton's is?

On the 15th of July, my dad and my siblings and I went to Kelly Tarlton’s because we had free tickets and we wanted to have some fun. We travelled there by car and I was extremely excited because I wanted to see the sea animals.

When we first arrived at Kelly Tarlton’s, we went through a tunnel where there were old items that people used in Antarctica. There were old pianos that played by themselves, tables, chairs, cups, plates, beds and old rags. Then we went into another room and it was all white. Then we took some pictures in front of the green screen. Next, there was a bridge that moved when we walked through it, it was amazing.

After a while, we went to check out the penguins. They were so cute and cuddly. Next one of the feeders went into the room with the penguins to feed them. After that we went to see the crazy things that were in the room next to the penguin feed. There was a challenge where we had to put our hand in an icy cold hole for at least thirty seconds. My sister and my brother tried it, but I had butterflies in my stomach so I decided not to have a go. My brother had his hand in the hole for a minute and I was amazed of his fearlessness.

Later on we went to the shark zone. We saw amazing sea creatures like giant fish, and giant stingrays. Next we went to see the other creatures. We also went on a moving platform and we saw wonderful fish, crabs, lobsters, sharks, turtles, stingrays and mussels. There were different kinds of fish like puffer fish, clown-fish and giant fish. There were also eels, squid and humongous lobsters.  

After that, we went to the sea-horse kingdom. The sea-horses had very astonishing looks. Next, we went to the gift shop. At the gift shop. At the gift shop, we got to see photos that we took in front of the green screen.

I had the most fabulous time of my life. I hope next time we go Kelly Tarlton’s there will be even more interesting sea animals to see.

Have you watched the movie 'Home'?

Have you been to the movies before? On the 18th of April, my cousins, auntie, niece and siblings went to the Hoyt's cinemas with me at Sylvia Park. We went there in my cousins van and the others went in my aunties van. i was extremely excited.

First we met with the others at Pak'n' Save to by some snacks like popcorn, fizzy, water and biscuits. The movie that we watching was called Home. The movie is bout a little girl who loses her mom because of aliens called Grooves. The 7th grade girl asks a Groove to help her find her mom and she finds her in Australia. The girls name is Tip. I liked the movie. The movie was really good and I felt happy with the ending. Some people were crying during the sad scenes. Some of the scenes were funny. The Grooves were looking for a new home.

When the movie was finished, we stayed to take some pictures with the cardboard displays of the movies on the wall. We mostly took photos with the funny minion cardboard displays. We took some photos in the screening room as well room as well when the movie was finished and when the rest of the audience was gone.

After that we went to Dick Smith to check out some new and posh devices, like the Samsung S6 and
Xbox 1 and other astonishing things. Then we went to my grandma's house. We ate fish & chips and played a game outside with my brothers and niece. Then we had to head back home.

I had a fantastic holiday at the movies. Hopefully I can go and watch another great movie during the next school holidays because I had lots of fun.
