The Outlook For Someday Competition

This year my school entered the 2017 Outlook For Someday Competition. This Competition is where you can send in a video (if you are between the ages of 5 and 22) and tell this Competition how we could make the world a better place. This is our school’s first time entering and we only had 5 weeks to do film it, edit it, and send it in. You can check out the video below. We sent the video in to the Competition at the start of October and the shortlisted people would find out late November. It turns out, they put up the list early November and we made the list! Then a few weeks later we were sat down with our principal and I.T lady and they had some news. We had won an award!! This was so exciting for us as there were 75 entries and only 20 awards and we got one of those awards. As our school is in Christchurch and we have been invited to collect our award at the awards night in Auckland, our school is funding for us to go up there! I have never been to Auckland before so it will be so exciting and such an adventure. The awards are on Thursday 7th November and will be streamed on their website. Of course, I will blog the whole thing. Did I also mention that we have no idea what award we have got. All we know is that we have won an award but they won’t tell us what award we’ve won until the night so that’ll be exciting. One last thing, don’t forget to vote for the video ‘Small Changes’ (the video that we made) so we win the People’s Choice Award and get a camera. If you our vote for us, you go into the draw to win $100 worth of Body Shop products, so it’s definitley worth it. The link is below. Tell your friends, share it on social media. You can also check out more info on their website which is also linked below. If you can spot me in the film comment below which character I am and/or if you know someone else in the film!

HOLIDAYS!

I did so much these holidays. Dunedin, Little Akaloa, meeting up with friends and family and of course EATING CHOCOLATE plus much more!

EASTER!!!!

Happy Easter to all! I hope you all got a lot of chocolate and have attended a short church service in remembrance of Jesus.  I got to spend Easter with my mum and her family and we went to a candle lighting service on Holy Saturday at 7:30pm. It went to 9:00! It was the longest service I had been to before, but it was great to pray and give thanks to the lord. The next morning I woke up to lots of chocolate eggs around my grandparents house. For lunch we went to Oamaru and met up with lots of family which was great. HAPPY EASTER!

Crystal Growing

After The Boss Baby preview my friend came over to my house and we started to grow a crystal as a challenge for school. We made a light blue coloured crystal. It was a trial and error experience at the start but we finally got the mixture right. He couldn't see the finishing product as it only started growing after 15 hours and was fully grown in 7 days. You should see it now! Its overgrown and falling down the side of the container. It was an awesome experiment to do with one of my friends and it really was a challenge. Have a look at the crystal now.

Boss Baby Preview Screening/Review

On Sunday 2nd April my sister and I both won family passes from The Adam and Eve Show to a preview screening of The Boss Baby. We were able to take 8 people altogether so we took friends and family to this awesome preview. Adam and Eve from The Adam and Eve Show hosted it with a speech at the start and some prizes you could win if you had a ticket under your seat, of course, none of my group had one. Overall, The Boss Baby is a funny, heartwarming, silly, entertaining movie. Here is the trailer.

Crusaders V Force

On March 24th my dad and I were given tickets to go to the Crusaders taking on Force at 7:35pm. It was nice to do a father and son thing because most of the time I have my sister or other people around. It was really fun yelling and having a laugh with my dad and we enjoyed it. Of course the Crusaders won 45-17 but in the first half it was quite close. I always love going to a good game of rugby especially when I'm not at home watching it from my TV.  Even better, we had great seats. By the way we took HEAPS of selfies. There is also a photo of me meeting some of the Crusaders at my school.

Olivia's 9th Birthday

March 19th is a special day for a special someone it is my sister Olivia's Birthday. This year she was lucky enough to have her birthday on a Sunday so she didn't have to go to school. She had a sleepover party with her friends including, bowling, games and music. For her main birthday present she got a Fitbit Alta. She has used it ever since. Thank you Fitbit. I think she enjoyed her 9th birthday and she will shout us to the movies with the passes she gave us.

Star Wars- The Last Jedi Trailer

Here is Star Wars The Last Jedi trailer. Are you excited as much as I am. This movie will give us all the answers we are looking for and the trailer gives you a little bit of a hint of what is going to happen. SO if you haven't already seen it, ENJOY!

Dansey's Pass Camp 2017

In January this year I went to Camp at Dansey's Pass with some friends of ours. We enjoyed camp so much, there were set activities for each day if you wanted to compete including, games, dropping an egg with a protection and making sure it didn't break with only paper, raft building and movies. You were never bored because you had sooo much to do things like, biking, running around, bouncing with friends on the trampoline, spotlight, going to the creeks, swimming and playing on the playground. There was snacks a lot so we were never hungry, but we only came for 3 meals and left to play with friends. The funnest thing was we were in a TENT, yes you heard right, a TENT. It was the first time I slept in a tent and I enjoyed it, a lot. Except for the fact that it rained a couple of nights but I didn't really notice that or the really hard wind for some reason. The last night our front bit of our tent flooded so we stayed in a cabin that someone had moved out of. It was a great experience with my mum and I feel we bonded a lot as we sort of worked as a team together. I can't wait to go back next year.

New Years

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope you have an awesome year. Good Luck for 2017. Hope you celebrated with fun like I did with a HUGE party at my Aunty's in Invercargill, it was SOOOOO much fun. I can feel that this year is going to be a good one.

CHRISTMAS 2016

I had an awesome time in Invercargill at Christmas for 2016. I got spoilt with all my presents and was taken around to lots of places. Some of the things I did include, Shopping, hanging out with family, eating A LOT, playing sports in the backyard and going to Bluff. On Boxing Day my sister and I got driven to Clinton and met my Mum and we were taken back to Dunedin to do Christmas with her side of the family. We had an awesome time catching up with family playing sports in the backyard and eating. We had a jam-packed time in Dunedin so we were nonstop until the next day when we were driven back to Invercargill. So I guess you could say I had an alright time down South for Christmas. LOL (JK)

Gingerbread House Decorating

On Sunday 18th December my sister and I decorated Gingerbread houses for Christmas. Hope you like them! They look good and we can't wait to eat them at Christmas! Comment below on your thoughts about them.

Christmas in The Park

On Saturday 26th of November, my family and I were lucky enough to get to go to CocaCola's Christmas at The Park. We got there quite early so we could get good seats and we did. We sat by the BIG Christmas tree which was just behind the VIP's. The view was spectacular and there were so many good performances by: Vince Harder, The Koi Boys, and Kaylee Bell. Here are a few photos to show you just a snippet of what happened at CocaCola Christmas in The Park 2016!
