The glass sliver

On the 10th of Decmber (my birthday) at school somebody broke a glass in the kitchen and they swept it up but there was a few splinters on the floor.

Since I didn't know that somebody had broken a glass in the kitchen I went into the kitchen and... stepped on two slivers of glass and then my Mum got one sliver out and we thought that it would be all right.

But there was still a sliver of glass in my foot. Of course we didn't know. Then it got infected, we cleared away the infection. But it got infected again. By now it had been three weeks so on the 30th December at 9:00am I went to the doctor's at Ropata. The doctor said (after feeling around a bit) he didn't think there was any glass in my foot. But to be on the safe side gave us a prescription to have an x-ray at the hospital so we went to the hospital and we had to wait in the waiting room for ages. Finally my name was called and I went in to the x-ray room 1 (the room where the arrow is pointing).

They took two x-rays they thought they found the sliver but decided to do an ultra sound just to make sure. They found it and put a mark on my foot so that they know where it was.

Then we had lunch. After that we had to go to another department and waited for ages then my name was called. I went into the room then I had injection in my foot that really hurt! The injection numbed my foot so the nurse could poke around with a needle without it hurting. He found the sliver of glass and then he gave me an ice block for being brave.

Tulip Sunday

I went to Tulip Sunday.

There were lots of bands playing there.

The huge hill:
I climbed up this big hill. It has lots of long grass on it as you can see.

The multi coloured tulip:

I took a photo of this multi coloured tulip. I think it looks cool.

The bright red tulip:
This bright red tulip looks rather striking doesn't it?

The yellow and maroon tulips:

These yellow and maroon tulips look cool don't they?

The white tulips:

Here are some white tulips. They look pretty don't you think?

My fantastic holiday

We went on holidays.

I had lots of fun. It was awesome. We got to go to Hamilton and Auckland and Taupo.

I took Mum's snowman and threw it at Mum when she wasn't looking!


I went in the fake shark at Kelly Talton's in Auckland.

We saw sharks, penguins and fish and stingrays and eels. We were in a tunnel and the sharks swam beside us. The stingray mouth is underneath.

We painted some paintings while we were away.

On the way back we saw a waterfall and I thought it was awesome.

We had spa bath with bubbles covering the whole bath.

We went up in the Sky Tower and got one souvenir. I went on the glass floor. It was really thick glass. It was a long long way down to the ground...tonnes of metres. We saw buildings, boats, the harbour, the bridge, shops the city, roads. We just about saw the whole of New Zealand.

We went to the zoo as you can see. Can you see the big Rhino's head? We saw a baby Rhino.

We saw the tiger.

and pigs - and the pigs bite. there are two types as you can see.

I hope you had a good holiday too.

My holiday

We went to Auckland, Taupo and Hamilton on our holidays.

On our way to Hamilton Ronnie got car sick and threw up in the car. Yuck!

I went to Hamilton Zoo.

It was very fun. My favourite things were the Rhinos, Taipir and the Lemurs. this is a green Lizard. Can you see it in the picture.



I also went to Kelly Talton's aquarium in Auckland.

I saw heaps of different fish. There were 98 penguins and there were piranhas and seahorses and big squids.

Snow

On the way home the Desert road was closed so we had to go through the National Park. Unfortunately there was big snow storm and we had to go through it. We stopped at the side of the road and had a snow fight. Mum made a snowman.

Sky Tower

We went to the Sky Tower in Auckland. I stood on the glass floor - you could see the roads below. Cars were the size of ants because it was so high up.

Huka Falls

At Taupo we went to see the Huka Falls. It had been raining and so there was lots of extra water. I took the video below. There was a jet boat that was in the river.

The Petone Winter Carnival

I went to the Petone winter carnival yesterday and I went on this ROCKIN' TUG it's a really fun ride. I also watched some street performers. I also played put the ball in the clown's mouth, and got 13 points and won a necklace. For the rides there was also cup and saucer and the dragon roller coaster.

Southward Car Museum

we went to the car museum and saw these cars.



I drove this car.

I like this Cadillac and its trailer.

I like the gangster car and the bullet holes.

I am nearly 6.

Bird show

At the bird show it was great fun and we saw many different types of ducks chickens and pigeons.

This cock is the Champion Hard Feather Bantam 2009 at the bird show.

This is a pigeon with a fluffy collar.

This black duck is the Champion Waterfowl 2009 at the bird show.

This rooster's breed is Plymouth Rock.

Looking at all of the birds was fun!

Terracotta Warriors

I went to the terracotta warriors.
They were fake and they were young
but the old ones were over 2001 years old. they were discovered in 1970.

This is a special carriage that was buried withthe emperor. It was broken in 20,000 pieces when they found it.

These warriors were bigger than my Dad. The most common thing broken was the head and hand.

This guy is the man

Pictures

Lara came to visit today and we made these pictures. Lara made the two that she is holding and the three below, and I made the two that I am holding. We made the pictures with paper towels. What we did was we drew over the paper towels with felt pen.

my fale

This little hut has a frame under the roof. It has sticks joined onto four popsicle sticks the popsicle sticks have five holes drilled through them. It also has a coconut tree. I made the fale at Te Papa.
