My Trip to the Museum by Joel

Yesterday we went to Downtown Auckland to go to the Maritime Museum and a Harbour Cruise. First, we went into a van to get there. When we got there we went inside the museum. Then the lady introduced the museum. Before we had a look inside, we had morning tea. After that, we went inside to look at the boats and ships. The lady gave us maps to get around the museum. I saw a big team New Zealand boat and we played a ship game they had there. After a while, we went back outside and had lunch. As we were eating our lunch we saw a man lighting a canon. The canon was really really loud. Then we got ready to go onto the boat. First I felt really nervous. When we got onto the boat, I was sitting upstairs. The ship was riding past. I saw the  Ports of Auckland and a view of the city. It even went under the Harbour Bridge. I saw some bungy jumping from the bridge. I had a really fun time at the Maritime Museum and on the ship.

How I spent my Holidays by Matthew

On Sunday afternoon my mum and I went to the park. Then my Mum taught me how to drive the car. The car was shaking because the wind was so strong. First I drove slowly. I felt very excited. On Friday morning my brother and I went to the Pakuranga warehouse. We bought an X-box one. We sat down and played all day. On Saturday night I went to my Aunty’s house with my family. We had a farewell party for my Aunty because my Aunty is going back to America. We had an opening prayer by my Uncle. It was really sad to see her leaving.

Acting out in the holidays by Joel

During the term 1 holidays, I was acting in a short film set in the 1800s. First, my youth leader picked me up from my home. Then I went to the filming place. The filming place was the Howick Historical Village. When I got there, I went to the green room to get setup. I was a miner in the film. After that, we went to the film area. My part was marching from mining with some other people. We had to do it over and over again. My feet were so tired from walking and marching. After about 4 or 5 hours of filming, I went back to the green room. Lastly, I had a snack and I went home. I was really excited to be acting in a film.
