Hunting with Dad By James

 We packed our bags then said bye mum and jumped in the car for the long journey to Christchurch . The drive was  very long so we stayed the night at Gran's house in Christchurch . We had a lot of fun at Gran's house . 

The next day we were off finally. We came to Mt Cook! What a sight to see. Then a huge helicopter came and picked us up. 

The hut was small and had lots of sand flies but it was a good spot. 

After we unloaded we got out our scoops to spot thar [thar are like goats but bigger]. At first they were very hard to spot but then I got my eye in. I could see six or seven. Wow! They are hard to spot but then I got my eye in. Then we were off hunting!!!!!! 

We walked up a huge hill. We got nothing. ''Maybe next time,'' I said.

The next day dad and I heard several shots. It was Wellzy, Dad's  friend.  He shot to bull thar. 

The next day the helicopter got us. I had an awesome adventure.

Australia By Harrison

In the holidays I went to Australia.  We went to Auckland,first, the plane was really cool, when we took off it felt really cool because you lent back and went really fast and then we were in the air about half way through you got an activity to do. It was easy but the other side of the page was hard. We had to do an acrostic poem.
Once I did it we were there. The airport was huge. It was 100k.
We found a bus that took us to the right piece of the airport so we looked for the right gate. It was gate 11. So we went and sat in the lounge until the plane was called out then we walked down a hall kind of thing into the plane. We got on and before you knew it, we were in the sky.
We reached an altitude of 3098. In three hours we landed. We landed at 9:00 at night and then my aunty was there with a welcome balloon and sign saying all of our names.
After we got in the car and traveled for an 1 hour, we parked the car at their apartment so we went to sleep. 
Then we to a convention for two days.
After that we went to a aquarium. There was a 6 and a half meter crocodile. After that we got to go tree surfing. I was the best at keeping my balance because I sprinted across the platform and then we did a lot of mazes, then we did biscuiting down a big hill.
On the next day we went to Luna Park. My favourite thing was a thing that went up side down but when it was slowing down we were up side down for  ages.

In the weekend we had rugby. It was fun. We came 4th. We played 6 games. I was tired. At least we had breaks in the middle. We had fun. The first game we played was Huia. We lost 5 -4, very close, next game was Waimea White and we won 3-2. Our next game was Nelson, and that was a very close one as well, 4-3. 
At the Wanderers Rugby Prize Giving, I got a trophy for being the best player. Rob, my coach said I go it for encouraging others when they play and score. It is the 4th time I have won it. 
My brother, Ollie got into the Reps, and Lucy got a free ball at the Rugby Tournament. 
We are a lucky rugby family!!!  

Poor Tinkerbell!!!!!!!

On Monday night Mum, Dad, Tayne and I were sitting in front of the TV and eating Fish & Chips. I was wondering where Tinkerbell was? "Mum, where is Tinkerbell?" I whispered. Mum replied, "She must be outside Holly."  Then Tayne and I went for showers and brushed our teeth and jumped into bed. Mum started to laugh,"Hah Hah Hah!" I jumped out of bed and came out of my room into the lounge. There was Tinkerbell standing in front of the fire soaked. "Hah Hah Hah!" Tayne and I giggled. Mum dried her down with a towel and said,"Good night Holly and Tayne. Off you trundle." Then Tinkerbell was on my bed all night. In the morning she was on my bed still!!!!! I jumped out and stroked her back and her tail was still long and skinny!!!!!!! I got some breakfast and she followed me to the kitchen I thought that was kind of weird!
