Something I wished I did on the holiday’s

One early bright day spring. I woke up from my amazing relaxing sleep guessing what we were going to do today. Then of I went to get something to eat still having in my mind what we were going to do today. When I finished having breakfast I and my family went straight to brush our teeth. Then I asked one of my sisters called Tracy what are we going to do today she said I have no idea, what should we do today. Then my young sister Sieli  said that we should go and do bowling for my mum’s birthday because she loved playing bowling but I said no what if we go to the pools I said. Then no one said nothing. When the time came to celebrate we were not going to the pools we were just going to celebrate my mum's birthday at home. Suddenly my head shook like it was frozen. I got super shocked when I heard my sister say that. But I said it will still be good to go to the pools because it inside but my sister said no we are just going to celebrate mum’s birthday at home. Then I said OK. Of I go to have fun and play with my young siblings and nieces. We also got to eat and enjoy the music. When the birthday was over it was time to go sleep everyone said goodnight and all went to there own rooms. That same night while I was fast asleep I had a dream about me and my family going to the pools for my mum's birthday. I was really excited to go to the pools with my family and have lots of fun. When we got to the pools we were very happy. We were jumping up and down with joy and but the best part of all is swimming around. We all hopped into the pool and started to swimming around we laughed and splashed water at each others faces. We had lots of fun but it was time to go home and sleep for the next day.  when we got home everyone we're super sleepy then we fell straight to sleep. Then boom I woke up with a fright saying yes I and my family went to the pool’s. Then I said to myself  oh it just a dream I never really actually went to the pools I said to myself. All well it’s all over but I was still happy to celebrate my mum’s birthday at home.The end!!!

Hey moni

This is what i did with a reliever. I read this book and made a story with my own words. Hope you enjoy                             

1.Hi my name is Moni.

In my street I had no neighbourhood because all the houses around me had to move that time and we got all the area to ourselves.  

After that houses got built there was people who live in the new houses.We know them because they come to our church.We love to play with each other and laugh eat and stare at the sky. Our neighbourhood kids walk up and down streets playing with toys and balls and laughing at each other when they get hit with the ball. When it rains we love to jump up and down on muddy puddles.We laugh we play in the muddy puddles and we get dirty.It is fun to have friends around our neighbourhood. I am Moni I love my neighbourhood and my neighbourhood loves me.

2.In the morning I wake up or sometimes my mum wakes me up. She says are you awake and I say yes I am awake. After that I get my clothes and put them on then I head to the bathroom an start brushing my teeth but some mornings I usually have a shower in the morning after that I get my lunch ready and put it in my bag I always have to make my lunch before school days. While I am waiting to go to school I play my instrument like playing my flute my piano and like doing my chores like putting the dishes away, cleaning the room and feeding the dog. When it is time to go I kiss good bye to my mum and say good bye to my dog and head out the door and start walking.

3.At school i see my friends and I run to them we play and we eat together we laugh and tell jokes.After that we go and learn about maths,reading and writing. We learn how to draw, how to paint and how to do art.

4.After school I walk home with my friends or sometimes

My mum picks me up and I drop of my  friends of to their house. When I get home I get out of my uniform and help my mum pack her lunch before she goes to work. When she goes to work we clean up and have something to eat and then we do our homework. After I do my homework I go play outside of have a nap. After I wake up from my nap or from playing outside I practise my instrument and cook dinner. After i cook dinner we eat dinner as a family and get ready to go to bed. I brush my teeth and say goodnight to my family and head to the room and of I go fast asleep.

5.In my family I lost my nana she died in 2004 and I was born in 2006 so I never got to meet her and I didn't even get to see her face to face but we always go to her cemetery and we clean it up or sometimes I see photos of her with my brother or sister. My favourite sibling is all of them because I don't have a favourite siblings because they look after me and take care of me. MY weekends are usually fun or sometimes okay I and my sister sieli goes to our music lessons every Saturday early in the morning with my mum or older sister.After our music lessons we go do some shopping and get some stuff with my mum.Then we head home so my mum can go work. After she goes work we just do chores that  she tells us to do or sometimes we go with my sister where she goes.We love to hang out with my sister and my mum I love my family and my family loves me.

All about me   

I am special and good at sports

I see me in a dream winning lot’s of gold medals

I want to be a champion in sports

I hear basket ball’s bouncing up and down  

I am special and good at sports

I pretend to switch names with my little sister

I feel the love and the happiness that my family ,friends and teachers gives me

I touch a velvet tree when it rains

I worry when one of our family members die

I cry when I am alone

I am special and good at sports

I understand who I am and what I am

I say i am a special girl and I matter

I dream a dream that will become true

I try hard on what I do and say

I hope I can remember this life when I grow up

I am special and good at sports

This is me and  I love who I am

This is me
