Have you played against the Pakuranga Cougars before?

Our rugby team versed Pakuranga Cougars on Saturday. We were playing on our home ground. When I got there, I went to join our team. The first frill that our coach told us to do was we had to run  around the field. Then we did great vines, lunges, butt kicks and high knees. Next, we did pop pass and truck and trailer. Truck and trailer is where you pass the ball  and it comes back to you. Then you pass it back to them then they pass it to the person behind you.

Then the game started and I was the the Hooker. We kicked off for

the first half. Our team tackled as much as we could. Then the forward went in the ruck and blowed them over. After that Kanye scored  our first try but Aiden missed the kick. Next the other team got a try. Soon  after, Kanye almost got his second try but he was tackled and broke his legs

Before long, We had to move to a different field. When we got to another field, it was halftime. The score was 5 all. We had some oranges before the second half to regain some energy. Soon the second half started and I was the substitute and I saw some  our team players missing some tackles so Pakuranga got some tries. However Minutes later, Mario got our second try. Then the whistle blew for full time. The final score was 10 to us and 12 to them. Some people received awards after game.

I wish we had won our game and I hope I will be able to play a full game next time. I did not play a full game this time because some of the other players wanted a turn going on the field.

Have you ever slept over at your friend's house before?

On Saturday afternoon, Aiden  picked me up because we wanted to sleepover at Aiden’s house. I brought two large popcorn, a chocolate cake and a bag of clothes. When we got there, I went upstairs to put my bag in Aiden’s room. Then, I asked Aiden where his PS3 was. He told me they were in the garage so we went there. First we checked if Lasike was online and yes he was and was playing Minecraft.

Next, we played Borderlands 2. It was a shooting game which you also can find guns and level up. I was on level 8 and Aiden was on level 9. We had popcorn before we left to St Patrick’s church. Aiden and I went to the back of the church and did Altar servers during mass.

When church started, I carried the candle and Aiden carry the cross. We finished doing what Father told us to do. When mass was over, we went back home and resume with our PS3 game called Borderlands 2. We also  ate the leftovers of the popcorn while playing. Then we got bored so we played Little Big Planet Karting. It’s all about racing, battling other players. My character looked like bunny. Later on we got called up for dinner and we were having Steak with vegetables. Yummy! I had some but did not eat much because I was still full from eating popcorn.

After dinner, I went back into the garage and played with Aiden again. I won six races on Little Big Planet Karting against Aiden. Next, we went on the computer upstairs to watch youtube. We watched Smack Cam Vines and listened to Silento. We also made a youtube channel called Chaotic Acer and Bunny Wabbit.Finally we had to go to sleep because it was really late.

I had fun going to Aiden’s house and had a sleepover. I wish we played more games and watch movies.

Yay, go Marist!

On Saturday, I went to the Avondale Racecourse. When my family and I arrived, I went with my dad to look for my rugby team. I only saw Mario. He asked me, “Can you give the T shirt to the coach please?” I said “No you give it to him.”

Then the coaches arrived and we ran to them. The coach told us to go to the third field. She told us to run to the bin and back. I was the third one back. Then we did some butt kicks, great vines, high knees and lunges.

Finally, the game started and we kicked off. The other team caught the ball. We kept tacking the other team to prevent them from getting a try. Then we got our first try and I tackled the person with the ball. Then the whistle blew for the end of the first half. The halftime score was 12 to us and 10 to them

When the second half was back on, I was the substitute because Harlem wanted to be the Hooker. While I was watching, some boys were tackling away, one boy ran almost to the try line. Then it was full time and the final score was 22 to us and 12 to them.

I feel happy because we won our rugby game for our coach. I hope we win next week's game as well and stay strong with our defense.

I want banana!

On the holiday, I went to the movies to watch Minions with my uncle and my cousin. Before we could go to the theatre we had to take the Jolly drinks to my uncle’s friend’s BBQ in Parnell.

When we got there, we saw four of my uncle's friends. My cousin and I were carrying the two containers of Jolly drinks. I held one and my cousin held the other.

When it was nearly 4:20 in the afternoon, we had to leave the BBQ. When we got to Sylvia Park, we went to Pak n Save to buy some lollies for the movie. Then we went to the hall outside the theatre and bought a ice cream, a large popcorn and three large drinks.

After buying what we wanted, we headed off to get a seat in the theatre. We sat all the way at the back and I held a lot of item. Then the movie started. It was about these little Minions trying to find a boss to give them orders. However, they couldn't find one. They found a cave and hid in there. It was empty inside the cave so they built a village to live in.

After establishing their villages, three Minions stepped up and went to go out of the cave to find a boss. Their names were Bob, Kevin and Stuart. They went to Villain con where all of the villains gathered. The Minions found a great woman villain and her name is Scarlett Overkill.

Scarlett Overkill wanted queen Elizabeth’s crown and one of the Minions became the king. Scarlett wanted the crown so badly, so she capture Bob, Stuart and Kevin had to decide whether they wanted to save them or not.

So Kevin made himself bigger and went to Scarlett. She lit a bomb up and Kevin blew it out. He saved them  and Kevin froze Scarlett Overkill with a freeze gun. After that they found a boss named Gru.

When the movie had finished, my uncle took me home.

I had fun going to the movies and maybe i will be able to watch more movies in the next school holidays.
