If My Toys Came Alive!

 

This week for my writing task I had to write a story about my toys if they came alive. It was very hard to imagine what they would do but some toys were easier to guess than others. It's a bit short but I hope you like it!

If My Toys Came Alive

If my toys were alive they would probably have a war, especially my army men! I assume that some of them would go for a vacation to Fiji or go to live in the woods. I think that my dad might be sad if my toys went away because some of them were from his childhood. My dominos would be scared because they have been forgotten about. My teddy bear, pink ted, would probably just stay where he was and occasionally walk around. I’m not sure what my Lego would do because they have no legs and nowhere to be. Maybe they would make a tower for me? That would be very helpful because it would take a long time for me to do it. In conclusion I am not 100% sure what my toys would do, but I bet they do!

Here is my teddy bear pink ted.

My Weekend!

On Saturday I went for a long walk to Terry Street Park but before we got there we stopped at the dairy. I got a chocolate trumpet. When we got there me, my dad and my sister played soccer. After about 30-45 minutes of soccer we decided to go for a bush walk.

On Sunday it was Father's Day! I gave my dad a card and some chocolates. Mum cooked us all some we french toast with bacon and maple syrup. Later in the afternoon we went for a bike ride to Point Chevalier beach. My sister and I made a bridge over a big puddle with fallen down branches. When we arrived home we had snacks on the deck. I tried gherkins for the first time. They were disgusting!

 

Rats!

Yesterday my Aunty sent a picture to my mum and the picture was of 10 baby rats! Apparently they went to their compost and in it were the baby rats. They bought them up to their deck to see what they were and their neighbors cat came to watch them. Also yesterday I finished my bug hotel! (Go to an earlier post to see what it is). I had to go for a walk in the woods to collect more sticks because we didn't have enough. To keep all the sticks in, we put some tacks on the frame and then zigzagged string around them.

What I Want To Do After Lockdown!

 The things I want to do after lockdown are...

1.  See my family and friends because I havn't seen them for a long time.
2.  Go to somewhere we can have fun, like the Zoo or Motat.
3.  Go to school maybe, depending on how I am feeling.
4.  Do a long bike ride to a place I have never been.
5.  Celebrate my friend's and family's birthday if they had on in lockdown.
6.  Buy a new pair of slippers (because my ones are way too big.)
7.  Go on holiday to somewhere other than Auckland.

The Paralympics

The Paralympics goes from the 24th of August to the 5th September 2021 and this year it is being held in Tokyo. Sophie Pascoe is New Zealand's most decorated paralympian. She is a swimmer and so far she has won 1 gold medal, 1 silver medal and 1 bronze medal with more possibly to be won. Also on the medal table NZ has 3 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze which means we are currently sitting 22nd on the medal table. Valarie Adams' sister Lisa Adams is also competing in shotput. She is coached by her older sister Valarie Adams won bronze in the Olympics. Lisa Adams has won gold in the Paralympics.

Thunder Storm!

Last night there was a thunder storm! There was lots of crackling and booming. My cat was outside probably hiding as the storm raged on. Messages were coming in, my grandparents dog was barking. My other grandparents power had gone out! Our house was shaking so was my Aunty's and Uncle's house. In the middle of the storm I went to bed but I was worried about my cat. In the morning I woke up and went to wake up my mum. We went in the lounge and under the couch was my cat! Eventually she came out. She had come in through the cat door. Now that the storm has stooped and there is only a sprinkle of rain we can go outside.

Bug Hotel

Last week for one of my science projects we had to make a bug hotel. I asked my granddad to make the base and I would put in all the sticks, bamboo, hay and leaves in it. Yesterday me and my Dad decided to go for bush just down the street to collect things for it. When we got in the woods we found lots of sticks that bugs could crawl in, some moss, leaves and a few other things. After we finished our bush walk we went home but without bamboo. Luckily my other granddad has some in his yard so we can go and collect it. Now I just need to wait to get the bamboo and the frame.
