Term 3 Holidays

This holidays I went pig hunting with my dad, papa and my cousin Cooper. We went all over the hill looking for a pig. All  of a sudden one of our dogs slick ran off before we knew it he had gone 200m, 300m, 400m, 500m 700m. Then he was out of range we knew he was chasing a deer because none of the other dogs ran off.

I also roasted Marshmallows by the fire with Cooper and Joshua then we realized the big Marshmallows were yuck. We stayed up late till midnight playing games.In the morning we played on the WII Fit Pluse. (I won)

Learning in the Making 2016

Last Friday was learning in the making. I

did Scout skills, Funky decorations, Flax Weaving and First Aid.

Scout Skills

For Scout Skills I did Buma trail A buma trail is when you are blindfolded then you follow a rope and go around trees and through barrels.

   Funky decorations

For  Funky Decorations I made a spider out of a pot and out of this fuzzy wire. I learned a lot about decorations and I named it Jeff the pot.

Flax Weaving

In Flax weaving I learned how to make a Flax Flower.It took me three times to make it.When I did make I gave to my Mum.

 

First Aid          

In First Aid I learned how to make a bandage out of a triangle bandage around my leg and my feet I also make a sling. I had lots of fun because I did not know how to make them.

Labour Day

Labour Day

Labour Day was first founded on the 2nd Wednesday of October 1899 so now labour day is 117 years old.

New Zealand was the first country to have labour day. The reason labour day is now on the 4’th Monday is because the second Wednesday was in the middle of the week so it’s not a break.

So if it’s on a Monday they get a proper break. Labour day was by founded Samuel Parnell. Labour Day was made was because back then people worked 12-15 hours now they work 8 hours. Kids also have the day off.

For Labour Day I did grapefruit juice and bags stall outside our house. I made $17 dollars from selling bags of grapefruit.
