The Amazing River Swim
I really like the idea that heaps of people get to read what I did in the weekend. It's almost like I am famous.
On Sunday I strolled to the river my by sister Misty's boyfriend, my brother, my sister Santana and my cousins. Santana took her friend Shanelle down to the river so that she could have a swim. When we got down to the river we all zoomed straight into the water. When I felt it I froze. The water was freezing cold. After waiting on the bank a little while I was the first one to dive in because I said "I'm going to be the first one to dive in!"
After I dived in everyone else jumped in and we played tiggy. I was always in because I could not get over the hard currents that were going down the river. I tired but it kept on pushing me. After a long time I made it over and tug my sister. Then I ran away from her. It was the best time. I love going to the river for a swim.

Going to a Weekend Party
I just wanted to share with everyone what I did in the weekend because I haven't put anything on the blog yet.
On Saturday night I went to the Light Party instead of going to a Halloween party. It is in Te Awamutu. I got a green poodle balloon. I wanted a balloon lion but my Mum didn't know where they were.
Tiber knew where they were.
"Why didn't you tell me Justus wanted one," my Mum said.
Tiber said "They cost money."
"Oh, I haven't got my wallet," said Mum.
But that was OK because I got to go on a big kids Merry-go-round and the mini cars.

Wedding Rehearsal
I wanted to share what I did in the weekend with you because its is something new for me, I haven't been to a wedding rehearsal before.
On Sunday at 9 o'clock my mum was rushing around the house getting lunch ready for my cousin's wedding rehearsal. A rehearsal is when you practice singing. You can rehearse your plays or anything thats important. The wedding is going to be at Mystery Creek. Mystery Creek is where the field-days are held each year. But it is not at the same place as the field-days, it's just beside there. Mystery Creek is a beautiful creek with lilly pads and blooming flowers around it. Little ducks were swimming around there. There was a father duck and a mother duck too.

Doing Jumps at the Party.
I wanted to share my weekend diary with everyone because I think you might enjoy it. It's interesting.
On Saturday I went to a party and rode a chopper. I did a jump that was over 3 metres high and a long skid. When I did the jump it felt fun, but when I did the skid I fell off and it hurt really bad. I did more jumps after that, because I'm not scared. The party was fun and we even got to have a swim in the river. It's neat fun jumping in and out of the water at the river.
Our Weekend Recounts
Every Monday we share what we enjoyed doing with the class. After deciding what we want to tell each other about we create and title and then write our recount. Some of the children thought that you might be interested in what they did during the weekend.
We are planning to start putting our stories onto our class wikispace. If you want to check out some of the things we do in class then click on the link below.
