Queens Birthday Weekend!

"Good afternoon Alana" says Mrs Sutherland. "Good afternoon Mrs Sutherland" I reply. Everyone starts to chatter about what they are going to do over the weekend. All I can hear is "wanna have a sleepover?", "I'm going away!" and "I'm just staying home." It's only lunchtime, but I get to go home early! Well actually not home home but my Dad's house... I'm staying there for the weekend. Of all the places I could have gone on a long weekend - WHY my Dads?

"Hey Mum?" I question. "Yeah honey?" my Mothers soft voice echoes round in my mind. "Why do I have to go to my Dad's?""You just do honey, OK?" my Mother lets out a small sigh."OK" i mummer back. I tilted the chair back and slowly drifted off to sleep.

I suddenly wake up and see and trucks bonnet right in front of us, FIFTEEN times our size... I scream ... my Mother started sprinting over to the car. They opened the door and tried to calm me down. "Hey kid" I see my Father standing there covered in oil. "Ready to go?" he questions with a big smile on his face. "Of course Dad" I shout at the top of my lungs. It echoes through the mountains.

Later that night, after Chinese for dinner (which was DELICIOUS!), I was in my room watching telly and realized how boring this was. So I started to clear out all my draws by 11:30pm I had FIVE whole bags of clothes I either didn't fit or didn't want.

"Wake up, hurry,WE'LL BE LATE!!!!!" I scream while running round the house with only one boot on. We were going to be late for soccer if we didn't hurry. We finally got to the grounds and couldn't find our field. After 20 minutes of searching we discovered the right field and started the game. We lost 5/0 to Ice Angels. Ugh!!!

That night we had Roast Pork with Roast Veges, Gravy and Apple Sauce! It was so yummy a great end to an awful day.

Queens birthday weekend by Ethan

On the Queens birthday... My Grandpas Brother and my Grandma died. I was really sad on Monday because I knew them so well, I will miss them lots.
 On the bright side we went out to Takanini. We saw Grant (my uncle). We organised lunch at the Sugar Loaf . He got us flowers. we then got a new game at the Warehouse! After that we went home and played the new game.Then my uncle Bruce came over for the last shoot of the season. First we went to our pond. We came up really close to our fence and slowly walked towards the pond . Then we shot up! About 50 ducks flew out but they all flew out of range.
We then walked over to our river, we stayed there for awhile, two ducks flew right over us but we weren't ready so they flew over. Then we walked over to home and cleaned the guns to they were spotless.We had a sad and thrilling time this weekend. But can't wait for the next Queens birthday.

Queens Birthday Weekend.

I woke up, the clock beside my bed said 09:58, Sat 31st May. The small of the stove turning off filled the air of my bedroom. I slowly got out of bed and put on my dressing gown. My dad was making french toast and when he saw me coming he turned the stove back on. In ten minutes I was stuffed with french toast and orange juice.

The Queen’s Birthday Weekend

On Monday the 2nd of June ,me and my sister Caroline ( her nickname to me is “Car”) were at our great grandmother’s (I just call her gran).When I woke up,I woke up to two people and for some reason my arms were sore,but since I usually find myself half on the ground when I wake up ,it was probably just me laying on my arms in the night (like usual).

After I woke up ,there was a tray with honey crackers and a hot chocolate. After “my wake up breakfast” and real breakfast, I went and reached up to one of the cupboards and got down my purple MP3  player and started listening to it ,here are some songs I listened to: Dark horse,G.U.Y, Should have known better,Survive(its weird and awesome)and a few others I can't remember.

Later that day I went shopping(not MY thing at all) with my gran and sister “Car” and got key rings for me and my two BFF’s Lilly and Alyssa.Just before that though, me Caroline and my gran went to try and find the books "My sister the Vampire",but we only found three books in two whitcoulls stores,which we obviously got.So now I've got three "My sister the Vampire" books,number 5(Take Two),6(Love Bites) and 10(Date With Destiny).

George's Queens Birthday

My Queens birthday weekend

On Monday the second of June i was at home with Dad; after Kim and Mum had left to take Kim to a three year old party where she was dressed up as a face painting fairy, I watched ‘The Hunger Games’ it was quite exhilarating and sick, because kids had to fight to the death ton survive.

Soon I was bored again, technically I wasn't banned from my dirt bike so I asked Dad whether or not I was allowed to ride he said “yes but do it before Mum gets back otherwise we will both get in trouble”. So I ran up to my room to put my gear on in five minutes I was out riding in the paddock with the jump I can do a few tricks like no-hander and no-footer.

on one of the jumps I landed wrong and felt pins and needles up my vertebrae for five minutes. After that I decided to change paddocks to the fast paddock, which has one hill and a drop off into a hole that comes back up the other side. As I dropped into the hole there was suddenly a crack and a snap as I ran over a dead rabbit YUCK!

I came in after that because I still had the shivers from running over the rabbit. Just as well because just as I walked in Mum came up the driveway. I was safe from her now but she still looked suspiciously at the blood on my tires from the rabbit.

Queens Birthday By:Josh

On the 31st of may my family and i had no sport on so we decided to do something special… but we did not know at all what we were going to do. mum and dad told us to think about something we we could do and tell them at breakfast.

For breakfast we had mushrooms, bacon, pancakes and french toast and it was delicious!!! Sophie and I didn't have any clue what we could do but Lucy and dad needed  to get some new stuff like  Lucy needed a present for her friend Paige and dad needed some new shoes.

When we got there I looked at my vans and i said to my mum and dad “I need some new vans” so they said “well… we could have a look”. When we got inside I found Amazon the shop; Amazon has heaps of cool clothes for boys and girls and including vans. I tried on a size eight when my old ones were size seven but the eights were still a bit small so I got some nines and tried them on and so we got the nines.

After the shop we went home and did some weeding to get some pocket money from mum and dad.

The Queens Birthday By Jaymeson

The Queens Birthday

On Monday the 2nd of June, it was the Queens birthday… But for us, young children it was an extension to our weekend!

I, Jaymeson, woke up on Monday at Eight o’clock in the morning; I could hear the birds tweeting!

I jumped up, and put on my old wintry clothes, and walked to get my breakfast with my brother, Ethynn.

After breakfast, (Which was Marmite on toast!); My mum woke up and asked me if I could do some work for her! (My mum is opening a shop in Clevedon Village on Sunday 8th June) So… half of the day was occupied with chores for my Mum!

Half of my day dragged so slowly… but eventually I had finished!

At Three O’clock (After lunch) I went and practiced my guitar because I have a guitar competition on Friday the 13th of June!

At round about Four O’clock I was sick of being stuck inside so I decided to play rugby outside…

After my run outside I hopped onto the couch in our living-room, fatigued and started to play on my I-pad.

The sun went from light to dark in what felt just a few minutes! It was six and time for tea…

The day for me went slow to quick and surprisingly was quite relaxing! (DEFINITELY not what would happen on a normal weekend!)

I hopped into bed and read until Eight o’clock and fell right asleep.

Queen's Birthday Weekend-Ashleen

By Ashleen

Friday

After what felt like a long week at school, we were all pumped to know that the Queen's birthday meant a public holiday for all!

We, after eating our dinner went shopping.

Ah, Ah

I was yawning and it was not even half-past nine.

Saturday

On Saturday me and my Mum baked a cake, it was a Pineapple and Peach cake, it was very delicious. We were all sound asleep after watching t.v with Dad. We watched: ‘Alaska- The Last Frontier’ a TV series based on a family who live in Alaska, it teaches people about the rough lifestyle they have (hunting in the forests, snow-storms keeping them inside for months on end. etc,etc)

Sunday

Just as the alarm sounded I woke, this was something I surely dreaded.

I better get up I thought to myself, i’d been asked to assist with a riding lesson. I knew I couldn't be late. A couple of hours wasn't too EARLY don’t ya think! Turns out, I had got the times wrong. Finally, 3 hours later -literally.

After catching and tacking up the ponies we were leading 2 girls around the arena.  

The Queen's Birthday Weekend was nice and relaxing as we didn't do much.
The End
