Santas Coming!!!!

This coming christmas is going to be my second christmas in New Zealand. Last years christmas didn't go that well as we didn't know the shops and what we wanted. Well my christmas wish was a ticket back to Singapore, but I didn't get that. Instead I got beach towels and heaps of clothes to keep me warm. 

In Singapore we use to wait till our whole family was up and then the youngest would pick the first present. The only thing that was annoying about it was knowing that you couldn't choose your own present. At least every christmas there would be a giant present with my name on it and I wasn't allowed to open it until someone choose it for me. I usually ended up getting it last. 

My mum use to cook breakfast for us until two years ago she made the most awful eggs benedict. Even my dad didn't like it and so instead we had toast. From that day on my mum has never made breakfast on christmas. 

This year for christmas I think we are spending the day with my mum's family and then boxing day with my dads family. I really like christmas because then I can catch up with family members and to have a massive holiday.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!

P.S has your mum ever made breakfast for you and it tasted so bad that you didn't eat it?

College

Next year I will be attending Wellington Girls College(WGC) 2014. I'm defiantly looking forward to a bigger school with heaps of options for sport as well as academic.  I think it will be a great opportunity to meet new friends that could possibly be your long lasting friend in the future.

The thing I'm most looking forward to is playing different types of sport and getting into teams that have the same abilities as me My goal for collage sport is to try and get in to the top teams which will be hard as there are over thousands of girls attending WGC.

The thing i'm not looking forwards to is having a locker on the top floor.  I've heard that it is one of the awful places to have a locker as for each subject you need to change over your books from your locker. Now imagine after every lesson running up the stairs to get your books and go back down. Such fun.

I can't wait till I go to collage but will defiantly miss friends who aren't going to the same collage as me. I will also miss the only teacher I've ever had in New Zealand Mrs.R. Bolger as well as other teachers and students.

What is your worst nightmare that you have about collage?

NICOLE EVERDEEN

Today I styled my hair in the way that Katniss Everdeen did while she was in the Hunger Games. I will  be carrying out this hairstyle for the next two days as well as Book Character Day.  This year I will be going as Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire. 

Who is your favourite Hunger Games person? 

If you haven't noticed my favourite character is Katniss Everdeen. 

Jacqueline Wilson Mini Bibliography

Mini Bibliography 

Jacqueline Wilson was born on the 17th of December 1945 in Bath,  England but grew up in Kingston. When she was seven years old she was an imaginative child who enjoyed both reading and inventing stories.  She was never a fan of mathematics and always stared out the window thinking of ideas for new stories.  Her imagination has helped her to sell over 30 million of her books. Four of her books have made the top 100 most popular books in Britain. She is also famous for her series of Tracy Beaker.  She writes novels for all ages and has a excellent humour in her writing.

The best part of her books are always the ending. She would always make sure you can find a way out of everything. "I try to have reasonably happy endings because I would hate any child to be cast down in gloom and despair; I want to show them you can find a way out of it"“

My favourite book that I have read by Jacqueline Wilson is called Cliff Hanger. Its about a boy who hates sports but his parents force him to go on a adventure camp. He is terrible at sports and everybody teases him but in the end he become a hero. If you want to find out more then she should read the book. This is my favourite author and I hope one day she'll be yours as well.

Hunger Games Book Review

The Hunger Games

North America has been destroyed and is now run by the powerful Capital and is divided into 12 districts (district 13 has been destroyed due to a rebellion). In district 12 is the main character Katniss Everdeen, a 16 year old girl, who lives with her younger sister Prim and their widowed mother. In order to keep the 12 districts aware of who runs the county, the Capital arranges a game to the death each year in an arena. Each district holds a drawing of one boy and one girl to go as tributes. When Prim Rose Everdeen gets picked, Katniss her sister volunteer as tribute which means ro take her spot in the games. Along with Katniss comes also Peeta, the baker’s son, who grew up with her.

Katniss and Peeta must fend for themselves against natural elements, the Gamemakers and the other contestants whose only option is to kill or be killed.  The mystery lies behind the games and there can only be one winner. Who will it be?

This book has an amazing story line and is recommend for young readers as well as adults. It has a hint of romance and has a big adventure awaiting for you. This is by far my favourite book I have read and I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. May the Hunger Games be ever in your favour. 

BOOK WEEK CHALLENGES

During this week and next week the teachers have given us challenges as its book week. Over the next few days I will be posting different challenges that relate to what the teachers have given us. It will be exciting and funny to see what others have come up with. So I hope you enjoy!!!!

Fireworks!!!!!!

  

GUY FAWKES DAY

Why have fireworks on the day where someone was going to blow up a building and kill thousands of people. Why do we need to remember this memory every year when we can just save the fireworks for my birthday. This might sound greedy having fireworks on my birthday but wouldn’t you rather celebrate a day that’s special to someone then celebrating a day that a man almost killed people.  Think about it. Every year maybe if you have done something significance to your county you could have fireworks on your birthday. Even the soldiers that have fought in the wars for us. We can remember them by fireworks.  

Imagine you have got a gold medal for doing extremely well or you’re the student of the year. They ask for your birthday and you celebrate with fireworks. How cool would that be. Obviously there are heaps of people in New Zealand but then you can achieve a goal by getting your name printed in the sky.   

If you got your name printed in the sky what do you think you would we recognized for. What would you have done?
