Going to A Party by Aaliyah Davidson

Going to a Party

On Sunday we went to a birthday party the person was turning 15 years old.  When they were asleep at 10 o’clock we went to Queens Park.  We saw some pigs, red ear turtles and a dear.  There were two female dear and one male dear.  The antlers on the male dear were big and they looked like wood from a tree.

After looking at the dear we went to the bird aviary and we went to look at the cockatoo.  He says exactly what you say.  We said,

“Hello pretty boy” and he copied us.  When we walked away he said,

“Where are you going to?” and I replied

“We are going to look at some more birds.”

We went into a big place and there were green, red and orange birds.

Then we went home and when we arrived we had our lunch.  My lunch was 3 mousetraps and I shared a big packet of noodles with Jack and it was YUM!  It was a fun day because we got to see lots of different animals.  I really want to go back sometime soon to see the red ear turtles.

In the Weekend

In the weekend on Saturday my Nana came to watch my rugby game out at standpoint rugby grounds.  It was the day  to beat Marist.  Most of as thought that we could not beat them in the first half of the game because the score was 31 to 10 we had 10 but after a team talk we said we can beat them.  Then in the second half we didn't miss  any of our tackles.

In the Weekend

 In the weekend my Dad came over to see Ariana and I because he loves me and I made him a description on space.  I went to see Dad yesterday, Dad has a sore leg I miss my Dad, my Dad is amazing.  I have fun with my Dad, at my Dads house we watch television, play games and we go to the park and we run to the dogs and last but not least we go places to see some amazing things.  What I like to do at my Dads sometimes is go out for tea and go swimming for fun.

In the Weekend

In the Weekend (Saturday), My Uncle and my cousin from Samoa arrived at Dunedin Airport. So we went to Dunedin Airport, It was big. We waited for maybe 3 minutes and then they arrived we were so happy and joyful because we haven't seen them since 2002. My Uncle Feagaiga gave me $3 to play games with my cousin, we played shot gun. Then we brought cookies it was yummy. We made our trip back and my cousin was kind.  Finally we were at home and my Aunty and Grandma were waiting for us to eat lunch because it was 12:11. We ate toast with bacon and egg it was yummy.  We went to the bedroom and talked because we don't really know each other, because when were in Samoa my cousin wasn't born and shes only 7 years old. I felt really whakahirihiri (excited) because they were really kind and I had to share my room with my cousin, all we did was sing songs (church songs). Then on Sunday we got shocking news.  Do you want to know what the SHOCKING news was? Well my cousin got married and we didn't even know because when we rang to talk to my Grandma in Samoa they said that they were busy because of my cousins wedding. That's my Amazing Weekend.
