Two Days ALONE!

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be at home with only your 15 and 8 year old sisters for two whole days?  I know what it's like, here's my recount of those days.
My mum was ready to leave for Hamilton when Kayley (my little sister) was being stupid.  " I'm starting to doubt myself, I don't think you guys are going to make it through the two days." Complained mum.  " It's going to be okay."   I told mum in a reassuring voice.  Just before mum left she sent Kayley to bed.  I went to bed halve a hour after her.


I woke the next day feeling like a slug.  I had a massive headache.  I realised that I had fallen out of bed and hit my head hard on the desk next to my bed.  I got up not doing anything about my head and went to my big sister Dannielle, she slept in our mums room. When she woke up I begged her to let me on the Xbox 360. when she finally said yes I shot down the hall as fast as a bullet to the xbox.


After two hours on the Xbox, Dannielle told me to get off and I wasn't allowed to go back in the lounge for three hours.  So I went and read.


After three hours of reading I was finally allowed to go back on the Xbox but Dannielle was on it., so I went on the computer instead.  For two hours I played Roblox, a fun game that I like playing every time I'm on the computer.


I think I forgot to tell you that when I went into the kitchen my cat Ninja had nibbled on our dinner. But we heated it up and ate it anyway. After dinner I watched t.v until 10:00 pm at night.  Then I went to bed to start the routine again

Our awesome Matariki board

This is my Matariki board.  I'm going to tell you about it.  It took me a long time to make.

We started by painting it black, then we separated the boards into thirds and then we masked it with masking tape.  We delicately drew our designed on the masking tape.  After that we used a crafting knife to cut out our design and peal the masking tape inside the design. We painted our design and then once it was dry we pealed off the rest of the masking tape and we painted some areas black again, cause the masking tape took some of the black paint with it.  So that's how they were made now I'm going to tell you what the pictures mean.

The top third represents new growth. It has a mother eagle flying back to her nest in a tree to watch her eggs.

The middle third represents me with my family as golden eagles and my home as a tree.

The bottom third represents Matariki with three Matariki kites (manu aute) in a triangle to form a Maori
symbol.

Here are some pics of me working on my Matariki board.
