Holiday writing

My awesome holiday highlights. I got to  ride a Dirt Bike for the first time in my whole entire life. It was so cool. First my friend taught me how to ride it and how to start it. After that I rode away in style. My other highlight was going shopping with my mum to get my Birthday present.

My lowlight was staying home and doing nothing it was so boring I was just thinking of something to do. This was my lowlight because is was so BORING.

My dream holiday would be to travel all around the world and meet all the famous graffiti artist and have them teach me these techniques also paint with them. And come back to NEW ZEALAND.

Term 2 refection

My highlight this term is swimming it was so awesome because that was the first time swimming with my my best friends Jay and Frank. Also soccer it was really fun to. My best highlight was getting to meet professional New Zealand graffiti artist Jonny wartmon. He showed me how to do some 3D effects.He does so really awesome looking art pieces

My lowlight for this term was my attitude to other teachers in the school. Also making bad choices. Next term I am going to make good choices and be a leader of the school.

Next term I am looking forward to learning about new countries. Also our new kiwi sport Rugby league and Badminton. And showing the teachers in the school that I can be a leader.
