Have you ever seen a house with a deck before?

On the 9th of July, my family and I moved into our new house. 

My family and I were very excited because our new house is big and yellow but our old house was small and blue

After we enter our house, my parents were very happy because there was twelve closets, five bedrooms, two bath rooms, a heater, four doors, a long hall way and a big kitchen built joined with the lounge .When my parents went outside to see the backyard, my parents were very happy because the back yard was enormous and there was a big, peach coloured deck.

The two bathrooms is big and white with a handicapped shower. We also have big, white curtains  in the bathroom.

The heater is square shaped and it is white and grey.

The bedrooms are enormous and they have white walls each with a closet and light brown curtains.

My family and I each picked a room. I picked a room with my older brother that was very warm and quiet.

After that we drove back to our old house to pick up our clothes and shoes so we can put them in our new closet. Soon the sun went down and it was very dark, so we all went into our rooms and laid on our beds.

It was a lot of fun when we moved into our new house because it is a big and wonderful house.

My favourite part was when we have finally moved into our new house.

Have you played 2K16 before?

On Friday the 24th of June I went to my grandma's house after school. My grandma's house is big, white and she has a big car park.

I played 2K16 on the PS4 console with my uncle and it was a wrestling game. My uncle and I agreed to verse each other on extreme rules mode. Then my uncle and I picked the wrestling person that we wanted to control.

I picked Jeff Hardy because I like his special move 'the swanton bomb.' My uncle picked Mark Henry because he pull two big trucks.

Before long my uncle and I started to play the game. I got the steel chair and use it to to hit Mark Henry's head. Then I did the swanton bomb and then I did the pin. The referee smacked the ground and counted up to three, "1,2,3! I was very happy when I won the game.

2K16 is a video game and it was a fun game. You can climb up ladders and tables! 2K16 was a very enjoyable game.

Finally my mum came and picked me up to go and do the washing with her.

My favourite part is when I did the swanton bomb on Mark Henry because Jeff Hard jumped off the ladder, and it was exciting.

Come on, let's go on the big pink slide!

On Saturday the 18th of June my family and I went to McDonald's for a feast after our singing at church.

While we were waiting, we played on the park but first we had to take off our shoes. After that my mum called us to go and have something to eat. I had a cheese burger a big mac a large chips and a fizzy drink.

When I was heading towards the playground, my cousin came up to me and asked "Do you want a ice cream" I replied "Yes!" and then "Thank you."
After I went to the playground and played on the big pink slide. It was very cool because it was very dark inside the slide.

Finally my mum called for us to go home because it was far for us to travel back.

The ice-cream that I ate was vanilla flavoured. It was white and it was on a cone. The ice-cream was very delicious and cold and the cone was crunchy and crispy.

The playground was very cool because it had slides/ tunnels and big steps. I went on the big pink slide and it was very dark on the inside. The slide was very big and slippery.

My favourite part was when I on the slide because it was very slippery so we slid down it very fast.

I miss my uncle!

On Sunday the 12th of June, my aunts, uncle and I went to Auckland south corrections facility prison to see my uncle. It was a very long drive because we drove from East Auckland and South Auckland. It took us three hours to get there.

When we got there, I saw two security guards guarding the door and another two security guards standing on the road leading us to the car parking. All the security guards were armed and wearing protection. They told us to stop because they needed to check the inside of the car, because they thought we might have been hiding a weapon. They checked everywhere but they didn't find anything because we had nothing to hide.

Soon we were in the clear. We quickly moved and parked the car. Soon we went inside the building and we waited until four o'clock because that was our meeting time.

Soon after four o'clock, a woman came and announced on the microphone and said, "The four o'clock people, can you please follow this woman to the scanner." So we followed the woman to the scanner and the security guards scanned us and checked to see if we had weapons.

Once the scan had finished, we all walked to another building and sat down at a table. Once we sat down, I saw my uncle walk towards us from another room. I ran to him and hugged him as soon as I saw him.

Then we sat down talked with my uncle. My uncle asked us if we could go to the kids room so that he could have a private conversation with my aunty. When we joined them again, it was time for us to go back so we all gave him a big hug.

I'm really happy that I had the opportunity to visit my uncle because I really miss him. My favourite part of the visit was hugging my uncle.
