My Dad

We are learning how to write a character description using similes. 

My Dad has got blue eyes and they shine like a star when he walks in the light. He is very tall like two times bigger than me. He has got brownish black hair, that he puts very sticky gel in, like a very sucky lolly. My Dad's teeth are very white and I can sometimes see his teeth sparkle when he is happy. My Dad's face has got a few wrinkles and his face goes red when he is very hot. He doesn't wear glasses all the time but sometimes when he's reading he wears his old rusty ones from his van.

Dad loves wearing t-shirts and he loves wearing shorts if he has to. My Dad's arms are big and strong.  His legs are strong and very fit. He always wears his sneakers. Sometimes he say that he's glad that at his work that what he has to wear is t-shirts and shorts because he loves wearing them. His skin colour is light brownish and his skin is as soft as mine. He is very heavy but not over weight.

My Dad's smile makes me giggle and then I start smiling back. My Dad speaks like a jolly kind of person and when he talks I feel happy because the way he talks makes me want to smile. When you are good Dad is very happy but when you naught Dad can get s angry too. I think my Dad is a fun Dad as well as some grumps but I love him jus the way he is. My Dad is fun around people.

When he bounces on the tramp with me and my sister Hannah we giggle with delate as he bounces us up. When he's at his work and he sees his work friends passing by he will say with a smile, "Hello how's your day been?" Or he'll say, "Hey there mate you need a hand there?" I think my Dad is great at his job and if he swapt a job he wouldn't be as good as what job he's got now. A my Dad's job he has to get up really early.

My Dad loves his house but he says he needs a bigger wardrobe because of all his t-shirts and shorts everywhere. I think m Dad is very cool and he's great at his job too. At home when my Dads reading to me and says, "Do you want more?" I normally say to him with a happy face, "yes please, I would love to hear some more Dad!" I think my Dad is the best Dad in the world and the greatest hugger too. I love my Dad so much.

We had to colour the birds blue. Then we drawed pictures about twitter and coloured them any colour we wanted. After that we stuck the bird on the poster and we stuck the little pictures on the bird. When you finished you had to show Stephen and he would say if you pasted or not. I hope you like my art.

Production Writing


Our Production 

The minute I stepped in the doors of th regant I could hear people busling with excited faces. I thought to myself, " This is it,is finally happening!". I trotted pasted the doors and up the stairs,trying to carry the tea set (for the production) so it wouldn't slip of the side. When I got up to the changing rooms I found the right one and got changed in Kapa Haka clothes and whizzed down the stairs like a record player taking me back to the start. When I got down to the side of the stage,I went and grabbed  a ukulele. Mine was green with a dolphin on the front. 

Then I felt my legs instantly stop because I had bumped into Jennifer then she said with a type of tone that was hard to under stand,"Go line up by the wall!". I came to the wall and when I turned around I stared onto the stage,"This is going to be fine Amy, don't worry!" I said to myself quietly. Suddenly Jennifer talked to me,"Please can you go line up and head on stage!" Then I hurried on stage with the uke in my bare hands.

Then I selected a place by Abigals big sister. As I went and strummed along Jennifer was looking at me so I decided to keep on trying my best. When we finished I could see people's eyes staring at the ukes and us then they suddenly started clapping and shouting like maniacs. Once it was finished we went off stage and just then I heard Milania and Ana excitedly say to me, "Are you ready to have a cool time?" I replied back, "Yes!".

It was Kapa Haka now and I slowly went on stage. This was my second year so I felt that I was going to be great! When we went on stage people were staring at us like their eyes could not move at all. I like performing and I really enjoyed the performance. Well after that, we just had to wait...

When I got up stairs I had to get changed immediately. I love my costume, its got a sparkly hat, my slip on shoes and its got a lovely top and skirt to go with it. When I had finished getting changed I played on my I-pad and I let Abigail have a turn too.

 Stephen said it was time to go I felt a slit touch of nervously feeling inside my stomach like it was traveling from one side to an other. When we all got down there it was busy with people. There was people chatting, people running, people walking and people sitting still like ice cubs.

When it was our group we went and lined up. I felt very happy and nervous. When me and Grace went in a half oval it felt like we were real tea ladies. Now we were half way through and I felt like a real dancer dancing to the beat. When we were at the end of our dance the boys did their bow and went of and then the girls came on and did there tidy twirl and now they were heading of stage with a tidy twirl again.

After that we went an lined up for the finale dance. When we went on the stage we all looked at the ground and did a little bounce. Once we started I felt like I was bouncing along to the beat. (bounce,bounce,bounce).

When our class got up stairs and found the right room I could not believe the racus. When I finally got changed I went to the stage and waited until I could see my Mum and Dad.

I saw my Mum and Dad waving to me, in a way that means come to us. After I got down from the stage and down the steps, I found my way through the noisy crowd. Once I got past the noisy crowd I could see my Mum's face slowly appearing as I got closer and closer.

When I got up to Mum and Dad they said, "I was proud of you and I loved your performance!" Then they said, "Stay her until we come back with Hannah!" I said back, "Ok I'll stay her with Dad."

Finally when Mum and Hannah came back Hannah Said with a smile on her face,"I think I got a bit lost!" "We'll I'm just glad that your hear now!" I said with the same look on Hannah's face. Just then we had came up to the doors and Dad said excitedly, " Would you like to go and get a hot chocolate from Cafe Cuba?" Then we all charmed out together," Yes!"

When we drived to Cafe Cuba it felt as if we were only driving to the performance once again. Then we came to a stop I came out and rushed out the door of the car. Finally a nice hot chocolate. Then we wachted the ukulele players. Then it was time to go home.

My weekend with Gruffalo

In the weekend I took Gruffalo home. We had a great time. He came to swimming lessons with me on Friday. Then on Saturday we went to Zirca Circus. It was magnificent. We saw motor bikes doing tricks in a big metal wheel. There were 7 people doing cool tricks on chairs. I felt like every minute watching them that they were going to fall but luckily they didn't. After that we went to my cousins house to have a swim and guess what, we even got to stay there for tea. Gruffalo and Me had a fun weekend.
