Birthday Trip To Australia Report

Birthday Trip To Australia

This October, Nanna and Grandad bought Mum and I tickets to visit the Gold Coast, Australia for my 13th birthday and for my Mum’s 40th.

The Gold Coast is one of the most visited places in Australia. The Gold Coast is just south of Brisbane on the east coast. It is home to the theme parks Dreamworld, Sea World and Wet’n’Wild.

Mum and I stayed at Neptune Resort, just across the road from Pacific Fair. (Pacific Fair is a really big shopping mall.)  It felt very safe because when you have just put your car away or putting recycling in the bin you have to scan your key card to get back into the elevator. You had to use your key card to get in and out of the pool. When it is nighttime and everyone is asleep you have to use your key card to get back into the resort. We had our own apartment it was the size of a small house or cottage. With the pool, you had to go down the elevator to ground level then go through a door that you don’t have to unlock to get in but it locks behind you and through a gate that you have to unlock to get in and out. What a mission!

When we were there mum and I went to three special places that are only found in the Gold Coast. Two of them were theme parks and one of them was a wildlife sanctuary. Movie World:  is a really fun place it has all the superheroes and the looney tunes. There are lots of fun and scary rides, Scooby Doo ride is my favourite because it is scary and it goes fast in one part were the corners are really sharp.  

Sea World: Is another wonderful place because it has rides and lots of sea animals. There are polar bears, sharks, stingrays and lots more.  I loved the sharks because they are fascinating creatures and I also loved the sting rays because you can tach them and they are really slimy.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. I loved this place so much because of all of the amazing animals. I got to hold a barking owl, a black headed python, a koala, a baby crocodile and an eagle that was really heavy. I also loved looking at the tasmanian devils they are my favorite animals.

I have got lots of cousins in Australia from my mum’s side. My most favourite cousin is Bronwyn. She has three kids they are also my cousins but I love Bronwyn the most!

From dusk till dawn fruit bats came out. They were amazing they were probably 2 or 3 feet from your head! They were also really big. They didn’t really make a sound but if you looked up and saw these big black weird shaped mammals you know they are bats because of their pointy ears.

It Is Now Time To Say GoodBye To 2016!

This is my time to say goodbye to 2016! It is really sad to say goodbye but it is life. I have finished my years at primary school and now moving on to high school. here are a few of my favourite memories. 

Novel Study

The is my novel study for term 4. This time I read The Rescue Princesses The Moonlit Mystery It is a really good book! 

The very twisted story!

                               The very twisted story

“Try our new chocolate now! Six new flavors, Dark Strawberry, Dark Coconut and Nuts, Creamy Cookies and cream, Creamy Vanilla and cocoa bean, Jelly and Ice Cream and our favorite flavor and best selling is Fish eye balls, Fish Guts and Jelly Meat! Get in while you can! Leading rentals; Fish shops, butcheries and Chop Down! Chocolate created by Loopy Lou!”

“I have to go there now, maybe to Chop Down because it’s closer!”  Yelled silly Stacey as she locked the door.  She go in the car and as she was about to put the keys in the ignition she realized that she forgot to get them out of the door. So she got out and got the keys, went she got back to the car and drove away with the car door… opened, she hit a lamp post she had remembered she had to shut the door noticing that it wasn’t there it had broken off.

So Stacey drove back home and called a taxi to come pick her up and drop her off at Chop Down. One hour has past Stacey was wondering “where was the taxi, maybe because of the traffic.”  Three and a half hours  has past and she remembered that she gave the taxi driver the wrong address, so she got a bus. As Stacey got to Chop down It was ten o’clock and Chop Down was closed and the bus’s had stopped for the night, that means Stacey had to walk home.

Stacey’s friend Trendy was worried because it was now eleven o'clock and Stacey would normally texted or ring Trendy saying she's not going to be home tonight and she’s always home at night always! When Trendy and Stacey didn’t know, Stacey had taken a wrong turn; instead of Shine Street she took Dark Scary Drive. Hang on wait what; who would walk down that drive no one has ever been down that drive before and I mean ON ONE!

Empty graves all spread around the place, Dead trees with crows crowing on the branches and dead bodies lying on the path way. But how did the corpse get out?  

Prototec

Term 4, Week one, Rimu class started to go on this maths site called Prototec. If you don’t know what Prototec is it is to help with your Basic Facts and Times tables. There are several stages and this is good because it has different questions . Here are my Prototec scores. As you can see till Week 3 I did Stage 6 then I got 40 out of 40 and now I am on Stage 7!  I found the Times Tables easy and I found the Basic Facts hard. Here is the link to Prototec so you can try it yourself.
