My Dream Trip To Japan by Julia

During my  October holiday, I went to Japan with my mum, dad and brother.  We first went to the Airport. I was wearing an Ariana Grande t-shirt and a pair of jeans.  My brother kept me busy by showing me some tricks.  We waited for our plane to come.  We had something to eat.  Then we went inside the aeroplane. I was watching  The Big Bang Theory and I was listening to  Charlie Puth.  In  Japan, we went to the wax museum. My mum took a  photo of me

and  Justin Biber and Michael  Jackson. I also saw a wax statue of Tom Cruise who was on a bike. We rode on a bullet train in Japan. It went very fast.  I had a great time.          

Fun School Holiday by Matthew

On Friday I went to the gym to play Basketball. After the game, I went home and walked straight into my room to sleep.The next Morning I did my chores and went to my Cousin’s house to spend the night there.  I was very active this holiday. I ran, played basketball, and swam at the beach.  This was good because I lost 8 kg and I feel great.

Train Trip To Sylvia Park by Joel

During the second week of my holiday, I caught the train by myself to Sylvia Park. First I had to catch a bus from the Howick Intermediate bus stop to the Panmure station. When I got there I hopped onto the train which took me to Sylvia Park. Next, I hopped off and went to the mall. I had lunch at the food court. After that, I went into a few shops like Countdown and The Warehouse. I got onto another train that took me to Manukau. When I got off the train I went across to Rainbows End where my mum works and I met her there and went home with her. It was really awesome for me to go on a train by myself.
