A Time Spent with Family

When I was younger I always wanted to go to Vietnam. It was my dream…. Until now. Ten years  passed  my dream had came true. It was like a wish that was granted instantly. A genie in a bottle for an example (Robin Williams was playing the genie. But let’s not get into that). I spent my time wisely with my family. I have heaps of cousins over in Vietnam. One I thought was friendly and funny. He was tall around six foot. He has black hair dark like raven. His eyes were black like the dead of night. He is a friendly man and always has a good heart. He always helps around my Grandma’s place. My Grandma’s house is big. There are huge rooms. A room my family stayed in you can fit two double beds. That's how big it is.The floors were white tiles, shining like crystals, glistening from the glowing light. It’s lining were are dark dull yellowy colour but the white titles sparkled making the floor brighter. Let’s not get into how big the house is. Let’s talk about the family I spent In Vietnam. I’m still on my journey for a start. I’m learning lots of Vietnamese. But most times I had to use the translator to know what they are saying. Especially my cousins.  My cousins love me and thought I was marvelous. I’ve got a cousin who never stops clenching on to me and always follows me around like a dog who thought it was it’s owner. But my cousin was funny cheeky, and cheerful. She loves to play with my scarlet fidget spinner ALL THE TIME. In Vietnam people haven’t seen a fidget spinner before. It was very new to them. Whenever my cousin sees me she smiles softly and laughs. She always look over my shoulder like a bird, knowing what I’m doing on my laptop. Sometimes she would ask if she would play games on my laptop so I let her, but I was with her, watching what she was playing. She always wanted to play MAFA.com. It is a girl game and she loved it! Sometimes I would go on youtube and watch funny things. My cousin, well… let’s just say she was with me watching ‘Try Not To Laugh’ but she always laughed. I had great,funny, enjoyable times with my younger cousin. She likes me and adores me even though she sometimes doesn’t understand what I say to her. When she left to go home I was tired and wasted, weary and worn out. I wanted to lie down on the bed thinking about how long my time is going to last with my Vietnamese family in Vietnam. I look up in the ceiling which was a light green like green tea, thinking. I then shut my eyes and fell into a sleep which I landed in... my dreams.      

My Own Freedom Quote

At school Me and my classmates had to make our own quotes about freedom. Because our great teacher Ms Wilton read us a book that has quotes about freedom. We had to draw our own images based on our quotes. PLEASE comment on my quote and my images. If you cant quite see please click on my image to get a closer look. 

My Country Vietnam

My Destination-Vietnam

Motorbikes blared and cars honked making the streets turn into a big traffic jam. It was like dodge-ball because everyone was going everywhere in fast speed. The cars made rumbling noises on the rocky and bumpy roads while the motorbikes made the ROMROM!!! Sound. The atmosphere was very humid  around 32 degrees! To me It was like 40! It must have been the humidity. I had no idea how people had gotten use to this scorching boiling weather. Of course I’m a New Zealander and I have NOT been to Vietnam before, even though I’m half Vietnamese, it was very humid for me because I’m a very warm person. My face started to bloom into a blush of pinky-red. My skin turned into a tan olive brown. All I needed was a good bottle of water!! I was that hot (and  still am) from this weather that I really needed something to drink. The sun was bright and hurting my eyes. It was so bright that it was like a big ball of light, flashing at me. I was going to meet my Grandma for the second time in person. Because most of the time was on the tablet or computer. When I  saw her she was crying with happy tears in her eyes. She’s a small woman but friendly and always kisses me and pulls my face. But I know in Vietnamese culture that means that a Grandma or Mother loves you when pulling faces. I had to try and understand her. Most times my Mum would translate what my Grandma would be saying. My Grandma was really surprised that I was a big girl and a lot taller than her.The last time I saw my Grandma was in Australia in Melbourne when I was around seven years when I first met her. She was a lovely woman and was filled with happiness and kindness. I saw in her bluey eyes that was like liquid water reflecting in the sun. It has been six years since I last saw my Granny. But unfortunately, my grandmother wasn’t well. But when I saw her she brightened up and I thought maybe I made a her a bit better. But she was really happy and content and was filled with love and laughter.

Hello everyone. Here is my story of when I saw my Grandma in Vietnam for the second time. I will write more about Vietnam but this is about my Grandma how she reacted when she saw me . Please comment because I'm in that country. I hope you will like the story!!!!!!!

A Misty Night

In The Mist

The  rays  of the white glistened moon sparkled and glowed in the streets of London. It’s powerful beam made the lamp post brighten up, taking away its dimness. Because the moonlight blaze brightens the dingy and shadowy streets,  misty pitch-black sky still covers the paths of London. Fog drifted slowly, yet steadily across the bitter air for the fog surrounded the whole atmosphere making London hidden in the mist. The mist tries to hide the moon, but it’s blaze was far too strong you could see the moon through the fog. Suddenly, shadows were seen on the dark dreary streets.   

They appeared in the reflection of the moon. Black like raven and the movements were quick and steady. The shadows were revealed as two Englishmen walking in the dead of night, only the moon as their guide. Their magnifying glass reflected the moon, shining in it’s own glimmer like looking through a glass mirror. Because it was a quiet night, the two investigators walked noiselessly while investigating. A man tall clean-shaven, wearing a pitch-black top hat with inky narrow eyes, looked around the streets in suspicion. This man is no other than Mr Sherlock Holmes with his friend and assistant Dr Watson. Dr Watson liked solving crimes, because solving crimes made him go on adventures with Sherlock Holmes.

At school We have to write a story that is based on the picture we drew on google drawing. I drew men in a misty night. Read and you will know more! I loved doing this because I loved writing.

Different Parts of a Circle!

W.A.L.T identify different parts of a circle. I enjoyed making this because I get to now different circles in maths. I thought it was fun and surprisingly I enjoyed it! I hope you will too.  There is a quiz. You click on the answers in the quiz don't use the arrows! 

The People who are the Body of Christ

At school we have to do an activity base on RE (Religious Education) and also on reading. We had to make a slide of who is part of the Body of Christ. It was an activity I enjoyed doing. Maybe next time I should add more information in this slide. But please comment. :)

The Ups and Downs

I had to create a slideshow about how the climate change had affected Tonga. I thought I did well maybe next time I should add more information about it.  But I did my best.

Making my Own Advertisment

In my class I had to write an advertisement for a Climate Change Officer. It was hard for me because I had think of some ideas and to put them together to make one. It was also challenging because it is about Climate Change. I think I did my best in my learning about Climate Change. Please give me some helpful feedback about my work and how you thought it was like. ;).

Do You need a Job? Well Here’s one available!  

Climate Change has hit Tonga.  Tonga is one of the countries in the world that has been struggling. There were a lot of rising sea levels in their country and the seas are damaging their own homes and their coconut trees. If you want to apply for this job to help the citizens of Tonga,  you need to be one of the people that are helpful, compassionate and one of those who are hard-workers and who are good at building so for an example a carpenter. For this job you can choose what shifts you want to do. The morning is 7am-8pm. The evening is 6am-7pm. You will get paid $20 a week. You will have to help with water supplies e.g water tanks. You can also help with important supplies e.g food and help them get shipped into the ships so they can be sailed to Tonga so that Caritas can help with them. If you want, you can volunteer by helping with caritas.  Tonga needs your help. You don’t like to see them devastated by the looks of their home and their country. They need your help  to save their hometown. They are counting on you.

If you want more information about Tonga and the Climate change look into the Slideshow that is called ‘The ups and Downs’.

What would happen if the world has run out of petrol?????

In my class we had to write about what would happen if there was no petrol. I had to write some sentences of what might happen if the world does NOT have petrol. I think I did my best writing this. Because I tried my hardest. 

Planning What Would Happen if the World has Run out of Petrol?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the world has run out of petroleum? Well, if there was no petrol there wouldn't be any vehicles. There wouldn’t be cars, trucks, vans, buses, ships and trains. Because they only work when oil or petrol is in them.

Secondly, if there was NO petrol cars or any other vehicle wouldn’t be able to drive long distances. Also, you wouldn’t be able to drive to work or go on a bus or go on a holiday because of NO petrol. Furthermore, if there was no petrol trucks can’t send supplies down South of New Zealand for an example, because of no petrol.  They only work if petrol is in them. Since oil is the main thing that makes thing run or work in cars, trucks, buses, aeroplanes even ships. No vehicles no petrol.

Furthermore, ships have petrol. Because they have things that make them work or run to sail on the ocean blue. If we didn’t have petrol in any ships they won’t sailing around the globe.  We wouldn’t have supplies such as food, machinery even furniture and anything else that is very important. Ships sail from different countries to send things for us. If we didn’t have any ships we don’t have any petrol. Imagine a  vessel sailing on water without petrol. What would they do without oil? How will we ever going to have our important things in our country? Ships need oil or to work. I’m not writing about a sailing ship  like a yacht or boat. I’m writing about BIG ships you see on the ocean like a cruise. If there was no oil in those ships we wouldn’t have our important things.

Next, our clothes, food, furniture, machinery and things that we need are mostly been put in vehicles to be driven or sailed to us or to different countries. Examples, Ships sail across the ocean blue with what we need but what will happen if petrol was NOT in the ships? Trucks from the north island of nz have to come down to to the south island to bring us things but that’s  when we have petrol. What will happen if there was no petrol? I. Trucks nowadays are also good for ploughing. To dig the earth in the ground. But if there was no petrol we would be ploughing with cattle or oxs like the olden days

In conclusion petrol make things work. The cars can’t go without petrol and buses and trucks. Petrol makes them start up and work. If there is no petrol, no vehicle. The world would be different without petrol.
