My dad's graduation

🎓MY DAD'S GRADUATION🎓

My dad is 50 years old this year, and he has done his educations days and achieved ok for himself. During the lockdown we spend so much time together at home so he think he could do something, so he enroll himself on a course in bible study with the Trinity Bible College. 
On Sunday the 18th of April, he achieved a LTH in theology from the Methodist Trinity College.
The day started very early in the morning. We (My family) have to get up early and get ready for the graduation. We got to the church at Ponsonby Methodist church which they held the graduation ceremony, and try to get a good seat so we can see the whole thing. Boy aren't we were lucky? Because after half an hour or so I turned and look back the whole church was packed and people have to stand outside. But it's ok because there was a marque and a big screen tv already set up next to the church for the over floats. 

At first, the band played the song Humaieiki (Into my heart), to lead the students to their seats, then a lady came up to the front, and started calling the students names. The students had to stand up, once their name was called. When it had came to my dad's name, I tried to snap a picture of him. Once the three reverends finished their speeches, they started calling the students names, to come up and receive their book, and stole. I snuck up the front, and tried to snap a few pictures of him, shaking hands with the president of the church.

At the end, all the students gathered up to the front and took a photo, I managed to take heaps of pictures. I felt really proud of my dad, which inspired me to never give up and everything is possible. I hope one day I will graduate to. My dad never gave up on his study, and succeeded.🥳CONGRATULATIONS DAD!🥳 Blog you later!

Trenches/basic facts test under gunfire

On Wednesday I thought it would be a regular day like any other day would, but a kid from the middles named: Boston. Boston ran to me saying, "Hey Ros! Everyone is lining up, looking at the wire in the seniors!" At first I thought he was just using his imagination, but when I said "What on earth is going on?!" They all said "There are strings in the class!" I instantly regret what I thought about what Boston said, even though he said it was wires. (But not the kind that will obliterate you, that would be silly.) When I first saw the teachers, they were wearing black, and I thought they were getting ready to rob a bank! They also had face paint going across their face! Once we went in, the teachers said we had to stay under the strings for six hours! If our head, and arms were above the strings, and the teachers spot it, you would get shot, and lose a point. They also read us stories to write down for us to remember what happened in the wars. When we did our basic facts test, they would put gunfire sounds in the background to distract us. (This was very hard!) I also got two carpet burns on both my knees! This was an experience based on the war.  

Earthquake/Tsunami 2021 lockdown

One night, we were all in the lounge, there was a alarm going, "BEEB! BEEB!" It said that there was a earthquake, and that there would be a tsunami. At 4:00am my dad was still awake, he said he felt the ground slightly move, he said he thought it was just his mind playing with him, but he looked at the fish tank and he saw, the water going up and down. If the earthquake had lasted a little longer and stronger, he would wake me, my younger sister, my younger brother, and my baby sister. When we woke up in the morning, our dad told us all about it. When I first learnt about a tsunami, I thought it would happen to us right away! But my dad said that, it wouldn't happen, (Witch was a few years ago) but now it did! It was my first time knowing that a natural disaster had just happened in the morning! New Zealand doesn't really have that much natural disasters, I thought there would be after so much training when I was a year 1! To this year, I find that natural disasters can happen anytime anywhere! Now that i'm aware that a disaster can happen, I think i'm ready. I just wish I could experience an earthquake next time. But luckily there was no tsunami, were all safe now so we won't need to worry about the tsunami anymore. Wish you all the best for 2021! Blog you later, and stay safe!

My holiday with my family

                                                          

                                   MY BIRTHDAY!

I was born on January 28th 2011, the first month of the year. When it was my birthday my cousin came over for a sleep over at my house, we had lots of fun, we played heaps of games, watched movies like ghost rider, bayblade burst, and more! we even had our own bays! We also named our bays, I named mine Fusion Rockdovor, and my cousin, Tui named his Red Eye. We had great battles! after that, my brother came in my room with phones, he gave it to me and Tui, and said "Happy birthday!" Then I said "Thanks" After a while, my sister came and gave me a hug and also said "Happy birthday!" so I said "Thanks" Again, then we got ready to go to Pt Erins (swimming pool) and got changed to go swimming!

                   Pt Erins 

When we got in the pool it was very could, then after a while, it was normal. when we went to the hot tub, it was boiling hot when we took a few steps in, but as soon our bodies were in the hot tub it started getting cooler until, it stopped at a certain temperature, it was nice and warm, me and Tui were just relaxing, and playing around gently, until we got back in the main pool! IT WAS FREEZING COULD! So, we just had to wait until it was normal again. We swam, and swam, me and my cousin, Tui played games to keep us entertained, and  had a great time while it last, we enjoyed our time at the pools. When we took a shower and got changed, we went to game on.

                                 Game on

In game on, there are a lot of fun games to keep you entertained! Me and Tui went to this duo game called, "THE WALKING DEAD" I found it cool, but sometimes the zombies jump-scare me, and Tui! Then we went to mario cart! (mario cart is a racing game that can be played from 1-4 people) It was a blast! I came first place three times! then Tui caught up and got first place two times! Valerie came first place two times, and sione came first on the last round. I started getting worried by the time Tui won,  but I did have fun, after we played mario cart, we went to another racing game, unfortunately me, Tui, and Valerie couldn't play together because we started at different times! Me and Tui came first place! But Valerie came sixth place. Then we played other games and had a great day!

                         

Dot art

                          Dot art

Today we did dot art, and today's dot art was related to Christmas, we did a Christmas  tree, here is what we had to do.

First, we had to listen to the instructions on the mat.

Second, we had to line up and get 1 pin, 1 peace of coloured paper, (size must be A4 in order to line up with the paper) and of course the dotted paper.

Third, we had to put the A4 sized coloured paper under the dotted paper, and punch holes with the pin into the dots.

Fourth and final, once were done we put our paper on a window and the results should look like a Christmas tree, but light coming through the dots.

Art book

Hello Bloggers!

Today we did something cool,  im sure some of you know what I mean. If you are interested please stay for the information. First we had to go to the website called, celebrating summer. Second, it took us to a register page and it asked very easy questions like, you school name, your name, your home blog page, and all that kind of stuff. Third and final, once we've signed in, it should show you a link, we we'rent supposed to press the link so, we had to go back to the tab we opened before the register tab, and watch a video of an lady telling you the instructions. The instructions were simple, first we had to scroll down to where it says, "kick start" Below the word, you should see links that link to different places, keep on moving your mouse cursor, until it reaches the link Art Book. Then there should be a button that says, launch experiment, when you press it you should see paintings, and pictures. When you click on the pictures, and paintings, it should take you to a colouring page, it will let you colour the picture, or the painting in. I did a painting of water melons. Have a great time playing with the art book! Blog you later!

Bike skills

                                                   Bike Skills

Hello bloggers! This Week, my class (Waitemata) went outside, to meet our bike teachers, (John, and Ella) we had lots of fun learning bike skills, I really enjoyed it and I bet my class mates also enjoyed it. Have you ever ridden a bike before? Because it's always good, to learn new things. You can never learn too much. There could be skills, we don't even know we could do! There are different types of bikes, like a mountain bike. A mountain bike is good for riding on mountains. It has gears, (1 - 8) gear 1 was the gear that made the pedal very easy to pedal, and gear 8, was the gear the made the pedal, hard to pedal, I hope that made sense. We had to choose the gear that was most comfortable, I was comfortable in gear 4, and I had a wonderful time learning bike skills. Thank you for reading my blog, blog you later!
