My story about seagulls dancing

Seagulls Dancing

In the holidays, I went to a glistering, golden, really sandy beach under the sun and borrowed a beach house from my friend. We stayed for two weeks, but when I returned home I could only think about this day in my holiday. 
We were walking in to the beach early in the morning, when I saw two seagulls waving their wings and stamping their feet on a rock. My sister, who is only four, thought they were dancing, but I, being more intelligent than my sister, told her seagulls don’t dance. When we finished our walk and went back , it was eight o'clock and I was starving because I didn’t eat breakfast yet. My dad asked me if I wanted some breakfast. I was just about to say yes when I saw the seagulls waving their wings and stamping their feet outside. That afternoon we went to the wharf, and I was just about to jump off when I saw two seagulls waving their wing and stamping their feet on top of a rock. So I thought to myself, “Why are they doing this?” So I went over to where the seagulls were and felt the heat with my feet. I finally apologised to my sister. Seagulls do dance!      

Athletics Day

Hello bloggers. On Tuesday the 19th of November we had our annual Athletics Day for the whole day. The whole school did it. The weather on the day was sunny and cloudy. We do Athletics Day every year so we can have fun and try to go into zones. We also got to know other children in our group. House points were given to people who gave respect and had good sportsmanship.


My favourite event was long jump because I can try to jump longer. I am really good at long jump and I can jump really far. Also, I got three turns at it. This is what we did. First we would line up across the trees. Secondly, the first two people in front of the line would stand at the climbing frame. Third, the first person who went to the climbing frame would run up to the mat on next to the sandpit. Then they would jump instantly on the green horizontal line in the middle of the mat. We repeat this until it was time to switch rotations.

Corbans Estate trip

Hello bloggers. Yesterday on the 13th of November we went to the Corbans Art Estate for a school trip. It was in Henderson. We went there because we wanted to learn more about the Pacific Islands and Pacific Ocean. 

Here is what we did. 

First I learnt how to say hello in Pacific languages. 

We did three things. One was drumming, another one was making flower necklaces called leis, and another was dancing. My favourite part was drumming because I have never drummed before.

First we got to know which drum was which. There were two kinds of drums - long drums and skin drums. I got to play the long drum. Then we got to know the pattern we needed to play. We then  started to play the drums. When other people started to play, I clapped to the same pattern. Then when all the kids were finished, we finished the workshop and went to next one.

I also learnt that drums weren't for fun and were used for important messages in the kingdom of Tonga. But now they are for entertainment and fun. We also learnt how to make leis. It was a 

1-0-1 basic way to make flower necklaces and then you could make any kind of lei. We also learnt how to hula hula.. This is the Hawaiian way to say dance.

Here is a photo we took.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this. Blog ya later!
