Today we had some visitors from Japan. They were 15 years old and were in New Zealand to learn more about our culture and to practice speaking English.
We sang a waita - AEIOU - to welcome them to our school. The boys went in the back and the girls went in the front. Secondly, we sang Titiro Look.
Then we came back to our class to do some activities.
We wrote in Japanese. To write our names we used paint brushes and we held them like a pencil. We used a special type of ink. It was very challenging, we had a lot of fun. We learnt how to write Japan in Japanese.
They taught us how to make spinners. They all already threaded the string through the wheels. The next thing we had to do was to colour the wheels in.
Another activity was playing a face-making game. We had to close our eyes and the Japanese student gave us paper eyes and mouths to put on the face. It was hilarious and there were lots of giggles.
At lunch time we played tag with the girls. The Japanese teacher made taught us how to make origami wetas and butterflies.
It was an awesome day. We hope they come back to visit us again.

On the 1st of May it is going to be my birthday and I am going to Laser Strike with my two uncles. We will not be in a team, we have to verse each other. I hope I will win.

On the weekend I went to the BMX track and I got a trophy for my finals. Then I went to MacDonalds and then I went home. I got dressed and I got something to eat at home in the cupboard. Then I played on the trampoline with my brother and then I took some toys outside. It was the best weekend of my life.
First we went to the aquarium. Then I held a big starfish and it sucked on my hand. Next I held a snake starfish and it was slimy. Last, we saw an octopus eating a crab. The octopus had 8 legs and many suckers. Finally we went on the bus back to school. I had a great day.
