I think that people should sell barbeque kebabs for free!

On Friday 17th of May, my family and I went to Papatoetoe to go shopping at the night market. First of all, we got dressed up into our winter outfits because it was very cold outside. Next, we all ran as fast as cheetahs to our little black car because it was raining.

On our way to Papatoetoe, my siblings and I played a game called, "Exploration lite!" We decided that we should build a perfect house on our samsung i-pads. My house was made out of glass, my sister made a hotel and my brother made a school out of cobblestones. The winner was my brother because it was very big and it had the right amount of classrooms.

When we got to Papatoetoe, my dad parked our car near the night market. We were all excited! I asked my parents if I could have a barbeque kebab and my parents said, "Yes!" When I ate my kebab it tasted like curry. My kebab was the best food I ever ate on that night.

Later on, we bought Samoan food. We bought sapasui, taro, potato salad and chicken. Then we went back to the car because it was nearly 10 o'clock. We drove home safely.

My favourite part of the day was when my siblings and I played, "Exploration lite!"

Creating a new recyclable insect is very hard work!

 
On Thursday 16th of may, Room 7 had our 7th art lesson with Salome and Siliga.  First we were put into 3 different groups of insects. There was the crawling insects, the flying and lastly the birds. My insect was a butterfly so I went to the flying insect section.

First of all, Salome told us to look at our paper and find the recycled materials that we need to create our insect. I decided that I would use a bottle for my butterfly's body. I used a big piece of cardboard to create my wings. I used a green marker and designed the four wings for my sculpture. Then I cut out my butterfly's wings with a yellow pair of scissors. 

I went to Silinga and asked him if he could glue my wings onto the body. After that, Salome said, "We only have 2 more minutes!" We only had a minute to clean up. Lastly we said, "Thank you Salome and Silinga for helping us with our sculpture!" My favourite part of the day was when I used a green marker first to draw the wings because I made sure that I cut out the wings using the lines that I have drawn so that my wings would be the perfect size.
