Parihaka

In class we are learning about Parihaka.
The people in Parihaka are very peaceful and wouldn't harm a fly and I mean that they wouldn't and when the English came to take there land and kill everyone there, the children sang and danced to them and the woman made bread  for them (like Jesus said " if someone hits you on the cheek offer them the other) and they felt so bad they didn't kill them but they did take all the men to jail for no reason so sad, but at lest they didn't kill them.

“We're here” my mum exclaimed as I slowly woke up from a long sleep in the car. Where in Napier. Arriving at the hotel was very surprising because it was a five star hotel “WOW” I remarked, my dad repeated me.We walked to the counter, slowly admiring the painting.The next morning we got up earlier than ever to take my mum to a bus that would take her to Cape Kidnappers. After a while, we had to pick up Mum, but unfortunately we missed her come in and get a medal. After all that, we went to the ocean spa, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh we went in a boiling hot spa and a freezing cold spa. The absolutely freezing cold pool was taller than my dad by about 3 inches so it was really hard to stay up “Dad! Help!” I would say as I slowly drifted under the water. 

Then we drove back to Gisborne.

Laser Tag

Running, jumping, hiding, laser tag. It started like any old day. Dad tries to wake me up I say "5 more minutes".
He says "OK".
10 minutes later "come down for breakfast charlotte!" dad yells.
 "5 more minutes" I say hesitantly.                                                      I eventually get my tired body out of bed and ready for what the day brings.  Today was different though - although I didn't know it at the time.

Dad dropped me off at Central school for Events 4 all. Nothing unusual there.

After morning tea at Events 4 all everyone walked to Waiteata park.  Nothing unusual there.  To Play LASER TAG.  Now that is something different! 

I was one of the lucky people who got to go first, YAY! Although we weren't meant to, we changed the sound effects. After my groups first round it was Girls vs Boys. It was on, we would sneak up on them and they would sneak up on us. We tried to take over the Boys base, but it didn't work out great.

Then, after all of that we walked back to Central school and had lunch.
