Maths Whizz homework

This is my usage of minutes on Maths whizz. I'm supposed to have 30 mins in a week, but then I reached it, then I started to continue. One of the lessons were really hard because it was multiplication. To be honest i'm kinda good at my multiplication, but sometimes when I have trouble I sometimes shut down on my multiplication, the only two things I need to work on, is remembering my multiplication like how I remember the song lyrics and Trying not to use my hands on how I figure out the answer for the question. I'm feeling confident about my maths whizz cause most of the lessons that Mrs Tele'a send me are the ones that I need to work on.

I think I have really improved in maths because one of my goals were moving up a group in Maths so I achieved that goal. I am so proud of my self and confident when i'm doing Maths. 

Last day in Melbourne

Last day in Melbourne

Boo. Last day in Melbourne. We had to go down stairs again because we had to have a buffet breakfast. Afterwards we finished, so we had to go upstairs and get changed.

Due to the time we had to go to town. When we arrived at town we went to heaps of shops first. Then we went to go have something to eat and just wander around the place. So we went to go to look around and we saw this sale at this shop. It was so cool that we were lucky that we came to Melbourne this week.

My favourite store that I went to was H&M. I don’t know what it stands for but it was awesome. When you enter the store you see like a rack full of of cloths it was awesome. But when you go further it looks like a castle. I even had to count how many floors, they had four floors and had heaps of clothes, Jewelry, Accessories, shoes, dresses and many more.

When we came back we had to get our bags from the hotel and wait for my aunty that was going to come and pick us up. While we were waiting, another family had to leave and come back to New Zealand. My aunty and her daughter arrived at the hotel where we were.

When they picked us up we had a little bit of trouble putting our luggage in, but one. The only luggage that was really hard putting in was the pram, so we took all the wheels off and made it fit. So then we had to go have dinner, we had dinner at grilled, It was a burger place.

When we arrived, the time was 7:10 am. That was the time I usually wake up. But when I woke up the time was 2:10 pm. I had so much fun having a holiday with my family and friends. Experiencing Melbourne is awesome, it made me think of what I wanna be but I didn't get the picture of what I wanna be yet.

4th day in Melbourne

Fourth day in Melbourne

Going to sleep on two beds in the middle on the bed and waking up in the middle on the floor. That Morning I was so hungry then my mum said “ Get ready then go down stairs, so you can get something to eat.” I was so confused, but then they told us after that we were having a breakfast buffet. So I got ready and just ran out the door with my cousin and my brother we were both having a race seeing who will get their first.

Arrived, my cousin and I won the race, soon as I saw the rest of my the people that were there we just found a table to sit on. Afterwards I just went up after I was ready and just started to get myself a big breakfast. When I saw there was a pancake machine I was so happy, so I got two pancakes and put nutella spread on it. Having a foul stomach it felt like I was going to die, but I still had two bowls of coco pops and apple juice.

Due to the time we had to do something so we were all deciding if we should go with the boys to lazer tag or go with the ladies and go shopping. I wanted to go shopping and go lazer tag, but the other girls wanted to go lazer tag and the boys didn't want us to come, so we decided to go stay at the hotel and have fun in the pools. Eventually the time went past it was so late we were in there for 3 hours but the last hour we had a water fight it was so cool.

When they all got back we all had a plan to see if we can sleep over my cousins house so we asked our mothers if we could and they answered “ Yes.” So we were so excited, when they told us after that we were going to have dinner somewhere it would have to be somewhere near the hotel. Afterwards we went to go Nando’s, lucky it was just down the road. When we arrived we ordered then ate. Due to the the time we had to go back and pack because that was the last day that we had. So we arrived at the hotel it was really late, so we packed our bags and went to my cousins hotel.

That day was the last whole day at Melbourne that we had all together. It was really fun but i’m gonna miss Melbourne but I still had fun. It was the first holiday all together as a family because we usually go separate.  

Third day in Melboure

Third day in Melbourne

GO NSW.  Today is the state of origin game. I was so excited to go tonight to the game. When I woke up I went to go to have a shower and got changed into my NSW gear, I got changed into my NSW hoodie, New South T-shirt and my baggy jeans.

Afterwards I went to go down stairs to the lobby. When I arrived I saw three of the Families that were there already in the lobby, we were waiting for the other two families to get ready, later on the one other family came thru the door because they stay at Mantra and the other family came thru the elevators in the hotel. While they were finishing their little chat, we left the hotel to catch one of the trams. When we arrived to this massive mall it was called the DFO, some of the people went to go look straight at the shops and some stayed and went to go get something to eat.

Afterwards  I was so foul I love Subway but in New Zealand in the sauces they don't have any Tomato Sauce but In Aussie they do have Tomato Sauce. Afterwards I finished having my lunch and asked the other girls my age if they wanted to go and look around, but their was one problem the “ PARENTS.” Parents would probably let us go so we asked them if we could go our separate ways. Due to the silence and looking at each other and their phone for what the time was, they finally answered “ hallelujah” they said “ Yes.” So off we went, I saw heaps of stores that I liked but the two favorite ones were Factory and Lidt.

Lidt is a chocolate store, it was full of chocolate: Chocolate spoons, chocolate bunnies, original chocolate packets and many more there's a photo of the store on my “ Melbourne Trip.” Afterwards we had to leave DFO. We were the last people they’re with another family. When we arrived at the hotel we had to get ready to go to the game, I was soo excited. When we arrived at MCG stadium we didn't have to wait that long in the line, I was expecting a long wait but we didn't have to wait that long but what was long was the stairs to our seats. When we arrived at our seats we didn't have to wait that long for the entree to the game cause when we just sat down the fireworks just started to bloom up in the sky. After the game we were all taking photo in front of the field, it was awesome the view from our seats to the field it was soo cool.

When we arrived back to the hotel it was 12:00am. It was that late but it was worth it we saw some of my mum’s work friends and some of the old family we haven't seen in years but it was nice to see them. But at the end of day I had so much fun, looking at my parents I haven't seen them like this because they were so wild and crazy about the game. But i’m glad I came to the game to I got to spend time with my family.

Second day in Melbourne

Second day in Melbourne

Waking up to the beautiful sound of my baby sister crying. When I looked at the time it was 6:22 am, In New Zealand it was 8:22 am. I woke up that late because I was up the whole night until 12:23 am and in New Zealand it was 2:23 am. Although I got up and asked my mum if she needed help with the baby and she replied back “ Just hold her while I do her bottle.” So while I was holding her I tried not to make her go sleep but then lucky she was smiling enough just in time for the bottle. Meanwhile she finished the bottle and I had to burp her, while we were watching TV.

Afterwards it was 8:22. So I asked mum if we could go to level 9 and go have a try out the pool, spa, sauna and a gym. Straight away I went to go get changed into my tog’s, I saw two little buttons that had a sticker with words on top of it. The first sticker said “ spa bubbles” then I looked over and while I pressed it behind me and one of the pools started to bubble and foam up and the other one said “ pool bubbles” and it had on of the buttons that we could press so it can start. Afterwards it was 10:16 I had to check on the dryer to see if the dryer was finished.

Eventually we had to leave the pool. We left because we wanted to go get ready because we had a long day ahead of us. Afterwards we went to go down stairs to the lobby where we saw everyone our family and friends who came with us. So when we went to go to catch the tram we were going to this place called Harbor town. Harbor Town have famous outside stores, there were many stores that I liked, like: Factory, Valley Girl, Nike factory store, Adidas, Rebel Sport, Platypus, Hype, Osmosis and Many more.

Due to the weather it started to get cold and dark. So we went to go catch the tram, when we went to catch the tram we had to go back to the hotel. When we arrived at the hotel, we went to go pack our bags away and get changed if we wanted to get changed into warmer clothes. Afterwards some of our cousins came up to our room and asked if we were coming to “ Crown” and my mum answered “ Yep, be there in a second.” Waiting for the elevator to go down, when we arrived no one was there, so we started to go to the other hotel where two of our families were staying. They were staying at Mantra, Mantra wasn't that far from our hotel.

We were going to pick them up because we had to go somewhere called “ Crown Buffet.” When we saw a group of people coming towards us. I ran up to go hug one of my cousins that came with us, I was so excited that she was here. When we started to walk we were all in groups, when we arrived at the buffet we had to wait in line, the line wasn't that big and we didn't have to long.

I felt at the end of day that we all would have the best holiday together for the whole week. Today was so awesome because when you go on a tram you can see everything that goes past. Seeing Melbourne for the first time  is such an experience. Its so cool I wish I could come back again.

First day at Melbourne

Going to Melbourne

Afterwards we were landing I had the most hurtful pain in my body, It was on my face and it was near my ear. It was hurting so bad that if you want it to go away you would have to chew something invisible or you would have to get something really chewy and chew on it. Mean while we were landing we were still listening to music or watching movies on the screens in front of us but then, we were erupted by the speakers telling us that we have landed and told us to un fasten our seat belts.

Afterwards they told us to put everything up in front of us and give the rubbish to the flight attendants while they come and collect anything. Eventually it was all finished we have already landed ( still have the ache in my ear) so as we were packing our stuff we had to be the last ones out of the plane because we had heaps to worry about like my sister and our luggage. But we had to change our sister because she was dribbling heaps on her jacket and we had to change her nappy. While we were walking in the hallway we took a milestone baby card out and we got the blank one and wrote “ Today I flew on the plane for the first time.”

Meanwhile we had to head down to get our luggage, while we were waiting we had get the two trolleys for the luggage to go on. It was really hard to get the trolleys because like the trolley bars you have to push down to keep it going and if you don't it will automatically have a break when you try push it. Meanwhile we finish collecting all our luggage, when we went to go outside we saw the person that was coming to pick us up it was my mum’s cousin. While she was driving it was a really good chance to see interesting stuff that are in Melbourne. While we're going on the motorway we went on one of the bridges called “ Bolt bridge.”

When we arrived we saw a big bus that said on the back “ Coaches, Blues” it something else on the end but I forgot. While we were walking in my dad saw a coach of one of the teams he really like’s and the team was NSW the best team in state of origin, we were sleeping in the the same hotel as NSW the best State of origin team. So he just shouted “ GO THE BLUES” and he laughed and just fist pumped the air while he was entering the hotel. Eventually we were waiting for long until I told dad to look at the TV but then he started to look at something else that went past the TV it was the captain of NSW “ PAUL GALLEN.” As soon as we saw him, my dad asked if we could take a photo with him, so he said yea sure, so we took a photo with him and my dad said “ GOOD LUCK FOR WEDNESDAY.”

Soon as I knew it we had to go up the elevator and go set up our room. Eventually we were done so my mum and dad tried to get in contact with my aunty and her family that came with us, but we couldn't get in hold with them. After a few more tries they picked up so we asked them: where they were.? So they answered “ Town just down the road from the hotel, all you need to do is catch the nearest tram stop from the hotel.” So we arrived at the tram it was so cool on the tram because I was playing this game with my brother when you can't hold onto anything and try stay on two feet like your feet are glued to the floor.

So we arrived at the SBS center it’s just an ozzy version of “ Aotea square” in town. As soon as I got to go to look at what was written on the floor my family already we on the stairs going to meet my aunty and her family. Soon as we saw some other people busking their art on the street it was awesome because they just do whatever, comes to mind. While I was looking for my Aunty and her family I got really distracted and went to this type of store called “ Hypes” it was a kind of shoe store it sells heaps of shoes that were like Nike and Vans. Afterwards we found my aunty and her family we just started to look at shoe stores.

Due to the time we went to go to look at china town and went to target. Target is a mall in Melbourne with many different stores just like Sylvia Park does but smaller. We had a little snack to eat and we all had Sushi Jin it’s just like New Zealand all these stores in Melbourne. Meanwhile the parents were talking and it was really boring just listening to them laugh, it would be more fun if we could hear them, so we asked our parents if we could go to target and look around at the toys: Bop it. So when our parents came to pick us up to go back.

However out of nowhere I saw two glowing items, one of the glowing items were the Eiffel tower on a building, The other glowing item was a concert. When we arrived the performance just started it was an  Aboriginal lady singing a song about her four origins the song was called “ The broken song.” After we all took photos of her performance and how it was set up it was beautiful but she wasn't the only performer. When we were saying bye to my auntys and uncles and my cousins we were going to go catch the tram to go back to to the hotel.

When we arrived at the hotel, me and my brother were huffing and puffing but then when we saw who was in there it was the other members that were going to join us it was just one family. When they were all settled in they came down to us  and said that they are ready, I was so confused until my aunt says that we're going to go have KFC for dinner. So we finished having dinner and went to go do grocery shopping at

“ coals” the Australian version of countdown in New Zealand. Besides we had to go home and have a good rest so we can be awake for the whole day for tomorrow.

When we were leaving on the plane I was so nervous now i'm here its so awesome. I haven't been on the plane since 7 years. The only thing I like about this trip is that this our first trip altogether. I’m going to have so much fun in Melbourne. GO NSW

LOVE Poem

In Literacy class we had a task for writing. The task was "Poetry" it might seem like a normal poem but it isn't part of the task was to use our five senses. Our five senses are: Taste, smell, sight, hearing and felling. We had a chance to choose from our emotions from within us they're were many emotions. My emotion was Love, I had to us my five senses and what the colour of Love looks like.

Afterwards when I fished my poem I started to fell why the writers of the poem really like poetry because when they write they could write anything what they are thinking about the topic they are doing. When they write they reach down to their heart and they write what ever they are feeling down in they're heart. When I was writing it felt like I was going to cry when i finished my poem. I hope you enjoy my Poem when you read it ENJOY.
