2nd November 2006

Yesterday Miss Worthington came to school because Mr Chapman and Miss Lewis had to go to the other room to learn about things that they could teach us. Miss Worthington said that were going to learn about chocolate. We got to make all sorts of things like a chocolate rapper. We got to name our rapper and my one was called Pretty Pony.

25th October 2006

On the 20th October 2006 Sunny had a foal. It had really long legs with white on them. The same as Sunny it had a white blaze and it was a chestnut as well.
At first we did not know a name for it but Nina that she will find a name for it at school. When we got to school our whole school was playing Tennis and Nina was looking throw the dictionary and she found some Mâori words in it. She found a word called Poni Poni (it means pony) or Hoi Hoi (it means horse.) or maybe Aataahua witch means beautiful. I said that I really liked Ataahua so did Roma and Caterina and when we got home and told mum and dad and then they liked that is well so that is wheat we named her.
On the 25th of October I got up to go and see if I could go and pat Sunny and she would not try and hurt me. We took them in to the yards and then mum showed me what she did with sunny first… what she did was get the carrot stick and then told me I should go and gat a carrot out of the fridge for Sunny if she is going to be good and do what we want her to do. When I got back mum held the carrot out and then Sunny came up to mum and then ate the carrot. When Sunny was eating the carrot mum got the carrot stick and then rubbed her with the carrot stick and sunny started moving her nose because that was her itchy spot! Then mum asked me if I wanted a go and I said yes and then I did the same thing as mum and Sunny was as good.

20th october 2006

Yesterday Nina got her calf.
She was a big calf with bright white and black spots. She has a necklace with her name on the piece of string and her name was Molly. Otherwise Nina could have chosen Doris but she thought Molly was nicer. When we got Molly she was 4 days old that means that they can be taken of their mother. Mostly dairy farmers do that because when you have beef cows you do not have to take the calf off their mothers.

going to the Drakes mum's house

On Saturday we went to a five netball games and we lost three games and won two by heaps. Once we had finished all of our games Fiona took lots of photos of our netball team. Koren and Claire’s nana and Gran dad came to watch Koren and Claire play because Koren is in our netball team. Once we had done thanking all the people and the coaches me and Claire and Angus went in to the Porsche with their grandad and we followed Koren and Nina and Fiona and their Nana. On the way home Nina and koren were sticking there hand out and waving at any random person so me and Claire copied them. When we had stopped at a red light me and Claire turned around and waved at the lady behind us and she kept on waving back at us and we were counting how much people waved back at us so we had about five people in our counting list. When we had got home we had something to eat and then Koren and Claire’s nana and grandad left we got UN packed and changed in to some nicer clothes that did not smell. Then we went down to the car and waited until Fiona had found her keys. Then we went to centre city and tried looking for some tight jeans for Claire but they were really expensive because Fiona had only given Claire, Koren and Angus $10 each but our dad gave us $20 each to spend. Once centre city had closed we waited for Fiona and Angus to come and pick us up and go to the warehouse and get some lollies to have while we watch the movies. When we had got out of the warehouse we went to the DVD shop to get some movies to watch. We got two one of them was called Flicka and the other one we got was called sisterhood and trust me that one was disgusting but we thought it would be a horror but it was disgusting. Flicka was a hose movie and it made me and Koren cry. That night we stayed up until 2.45 in the morning. When we got up in the morning we watched Charles angles1 and then we got dressed and went to go and get some tickets for a movie called the Sipsons. It was a really funny. Once we had done that we went to the shop with paintings in it and then we went to the book shop and then we went home and I was really tired!

My Holidays

On Monday dad just told us that Roma and Caterina were going to Wellington to visit our Aunty Kay and Uncle Walter.
That night Sharna rang and asked if Nina wanted to come and stay. So one Tuesday was all alone with Mum. Because dad had to take Roma and Caterina to Wellington.
So on Monday we were all alone. But something was weird because mum had lost her voice. So it sort of sounded like she was whispering really quietly.
When we were going to move three cattle because they had not had any calves yet.
That day I had to go to Sam’s place because mum had to do her bills.
In the afternoon we made popcorn but when we had put the popcorn in we thought it was all ready but we forgot to turn the switch on and it took us a while but then I found out what had happened!
When the popcorn had finished making we got the icing sugar and put it on the popcorn then we took it out side to eat it. (We ate it out side so then the icing sugar would not go all over the floor.
When we had got outside and started eating the popcorn since Mitchell had got first pick and what he did was get the popcorn with icing sugar on it and then he would lick the icing sugar off the popcorn and then he would put the popcorn back into the bowl. (That is why I did not have that much.)
Around 5:00pm mum came to pick me up but first she wanted talk with Sam and Will so I watched TV with Maddy and Mitchell.
When we got home we feed the calves and lambs and then when I got inside mum was just about finished making the dinner I started the movie up(because mum does not know how.) The movie we were going to watch was called Hildgo.
When we were watching the movie we had our dinner watching it and then after the movie we had to go to bed.
The next day dad came home in the night and Mr Chapman and Jenny and Hannah came for dinner. During dinner Sue Woodruff rang to say that Nina was not feeling to well so mum had to pick her up.
