First week of school holidays

“Oh wow” I can’t believe it, because our school holidays have started so soon and fast too. For me it felt like I have only been at school for 2 weeks in term 2, and out of no where school holidays have started. Usually people are really happy and excited about the school holidays, because they get 2 weeks off from work. Well to be honest I was happy and no that happy, because I was scared that it would’ve rained most of the time.

I had a good feeling about our school holidays because this means that I get more family time with my family, get to post more stories about my amazing holidays. I had to do more netball training at my aunties and uncles house. On Friday straight after school when I arrived at home, me and my family went to my nanas house in panama, just to say hi and have a family meeting for Christmas.

Wurst day ever

Saturday the 18th of July 2015 - 18.07.15

Have you ever had such a big puddle around your street or neighborhood? Well today is not a wonderful day to be playing out side because there was such a big storm, lightning, and rain happening last night. The puddle may not look that big in the photo but in person it sure does. It is just like the puddles that you have at school.

How did the puddle start? Well the thing that creates puddle is not only the rains fault. It is because you must have a deep whole where the whole that started, that is exactly our the puddle around my neighborhood started.  

It starts the way everything starts, it starts small and makes its way bigger and bigger. The rain started poring down and a while later it got stronger and stronger.  “Oh” and out of know where I heard a “bang and boom” it was the lightning and storm that was coming out of the dark grey clouds from the sky. And that's what created the puddle.

Why is it dirty? Well the dirt mustn't already been on the hard concrete and as people drove past on there cars, there wheels mustn't been diary as well. The mud is always following you around. But about 4-5 hours later a “boom, bang, clash” sound came out of know where beneath our feet. It was the forks and fireworks that was happening in G.I last night celebrating Maori week “Matariki light trail”. So the puddle was a humongous disappointment but happily the forks made us feel better, even if we didn’t get the chance to see it close up. It just matters that we didn’t miss it by going to sleep but I know that it was loud enough to wake the entire city even.

“Wow” what such an enormous puddle, that has surrounded the neighborhood that these people live in. The color of the disgusting gigantic puddle is “brown, with a little touch of black”. From the looks of it people must been waling around it unless they have gumboots that are at least below your knees. But I know that everyone must be having such a dumb, boring, upsetting day today, because of the puddle that took over most of the space, unless there is a solution. Like some people going out in there cars, van, or trucks. Which is exactly what everyone would want to do if they didn’t want to stay in side feeling sad and lonely, but I would if there was time to have a little rest. So I thank the puddle and some people don’t thank it!

Family day out on the last day of school holidays

G.I Matariki Light Trail

17.07.15

Everyone who lives around G.I are lucky enough to have a night out at the “light trail”. Why did these wonderful people decided to do something so special and cool? Well this “light trail” isn’t that knew or old to us, because this happen only once a year, for 5 days one week. It is Maori language week and Matariki is the most important thing that always happens on Maori week.

Its just like when it is Samoan, Tongan, Cook Island and all those other countries week. They do a cultural performance for everyone or a Mihi telling and showing people who they are, where there from, and what they are like. For example “Ko lizara toku ingoa - My name is Lizara, No Glenn Iness toku kainganoho - I live in Glenn Iness, Tekau ma rua okau tau, I am 12 year old”.

Today is Friday the 17th 2015, and there is one day away from the “light trail”. And yes I did say that “the light trail starts and finishes 5 days at 6.30pm until midnight at 12.00”. But the only special thing about tomorrow which is Saturday the 18th, it is because the people who sets it up controls the entire thing lit up “forks”. I am so excited about tomorrow because me and my family, with my cousins and uncles will be going tomorrow to watch the “forks light trail”. Hopefully they have amazing and cool prizes that also go with the game and activities that will or should be held there.
