The BFG

Last term our literacy teacher Mr Wiseman read to us the BFG by Roald Dahl. Yesterday our class went to watch the recently released BFG movie.  The movie about the BFG was fantastic. It hooked my classmates and I in just like a book. It had more gruesome words and details. The movie was incredible and stunned as all. More parts were added which was really cool.

The movie was different to the book because some parts in the movie weren't actually in the book. There were parts like another human being had recently gone to giant country with the BFG and was also the first human there. The other aggressive giants went to a deserted island, instead of a huge hole.

My favorite character was the BFG because his personality was great. He was kind, risky, helpful, caring and loyal. He was a bit disgusting eating snozzcumber which was a green looking cucumber. The BFG was like a ninja, he could camouflage like a light on the streets, trees out in forest and covered construction stuff on a truck.

My favorite part of the movie was when the BFG, Sophie and the army forces had gotten rid of those 9 aggressive giants that would eat human's. All thanks to the BFG and Sophie the world was human eating giants free. Now the world could rest in peace from mean giants. The names of the giants were The Fleshlumpeater, The Bonecruncher, The Manhugger, The Childchewer, The Meatdripper, The Gizzardgulper, The Maidmasher, The Bloodbottler, and The Butcher Boy.

The BFG was a kind-hearted giant who cared about humans and wanted to make the children of the world happy.

How the Olympics came to be

How the Olympics came to be

You might be asking why the Olympics are still going on, what is it for and when did it start. Read on for more details.

The creator of the Olympics is a Greek mythology king Pelops.

He is the king of Pisa. They would have these events in to honor there gods like Zeus. Normally 50,000 people would watch and 10-15 competitors would compete.

It started in Olympia, Greece back in 1864 2700 years ago. They would lite torches to honor Zeus. They would have a temple for Zeus and a massive gold statue of him right in the middle. Some would die and some would be injured but it was all part of there version of the Olympics.

Women then weren't aloud to compete or else they would of been slaughtered and thrown of a cliff into a swirl pool. It was a sacrifice for there gods. There was boxing/sparing, sprinting, jumping. There was only sprinting at first and the judges were bored, so they added more activities.

All of this was then but now it's different. Women are aloud to compete and there are even more activities played now. Before there were only 10-15 people competing, but now there are 204 countries competing and over 11,000 athletes.

About Muscle Fatigue

Last night of Matariki

Waking up and desperately trying to wake up everyone else at we got ready for matariki, even though it wasn't until 6:00. The time arrived as we headed out at 6:30pm and we were shivering as it was cold as ice sits in your mouth. Once my mum,brothers,sister,some friends and I got down by Mabury reserve, we thought we would be hungry so we bought some treats and glow sticks for fun.

Finally we were all set and ready to enter Mabury reserve as it shines and glows with lights. We see people smiling, singing and having an extraordinary night. My brother Anania, my sister Izabelle and I went around in a spiral.

There were lighted up jellyfish hanging from the tallest rakau there was in the Maybury reserve.

Matariki ko te Tau Hou maori motuhake mo tatou iwi Maori , me te tahi atu iwi ahurea oaoa te reira tino pea mo to ratou wa tuatahi . ko oaoa te katoa. (Matariki is a special maori new year for us maori people and other cultural people enjoyed it most probably for their first time. Everyone was happy)

Everyone had fun and other Whanau everywhere smiled, danced, laughed, sang and played with their young ones. Then it was time for the fireworks, everyone went somewhere where it was a better view to see the fireworks. BOOM!! went the first one the BOOM!!!! went the next second then BOOM BOOM BOOM there were fireworks lighting up our beautiful night sky. People were screaming, jumping, taking photo's and recording. What a night it was as it was the last night of Matriki, the Maori new year.

IIt came to an end where everyone started to head off and people were a little bit sad that it was over, but at least it was a beautiful night. That was our night at the Matariki light trail and firework day. mana'o Māori o Maori Tau Hou ki a tatou rite reira rā. (Maori new year to us Maori's feels like it everyday)

Camping and caring

Yesterday my family and I went out camping.  We went to Palmerston north. We went there as a family holiday camp and to also have a fun day. We cooked marshmallows over the fire and had a big fire where my older brother would tell a story. Then we had a challenge that was to sleep without a sleeping bag for 1 day and I won. Now today at 6:00 o'clock in the morning we woke up and packed our gear to travel back from Palmerston north back home. We had an adventure but my mum was to tired to do the dishes we had from camp so I volunteered to wash, dry and pack the dishes away as my mum rests to gather her energy back from camp. We were all tired but will forever treasure our memories from camp in Palmerston north. That was my  best holiday day ever.

Rainbowend trip

Today my family and I went to Rainbow's end for a family trip and to have fun. Also to make sure my mum can have fun then do work. All she does was work and work and work. Today we all went out and made sure we had fun, especially for my mum since she is very fragile. As we finished having fun at the adults and other older kids like me went on the big kids rides we went to the Kidz kingdom for my little brother Anania and my little sister Izabelle. My brother was filled with joy and was delighted to go for the first time at Rainbow's end. My little sister felt tired so we went home and started to rest and work out all our fatness we gained since we started to eat a lot of lollies. So that was my family's and I best day at Rainbow's end.

Helping out homeless people

Today at exactly 1:00 pm, my brother, little sister, Mum and I went to the Pt England shops we saw a old man but my mum didn't have enough money to give him. I had $200 to spend but I gave half to a homeless man that was singing and playing a broken guitar. I gave him $100 to him and said "Thanks you god bless you," "My name is Manafau." I said " God bless you too and my name is Danielle." As I watched him walk into the shop he was crying, but his tears was the tears of a blessing and joy. He was so happy he bought him some food, a drink and some clothes in G.I. I cried but in a good way as Jeffery walked away blessed. That is my story on how I am making kindness go viral.
