In the first week of the holidays I stayed at my Nana’s in Auckland. Sophie, Luke and I went up to stay for a week. Luke came up for a work experience at Titan Marine in Auckland city. Sophie and I came up because we wanted to. The first day we shopped at at Westfield Mall. While we were there we played monopoly for ages and Luke won.

We also went to Cotton on and Kmart to get some clothes and shoes. For dinner we had Chinese which I didn’t really like. The next day we went to the pools and it had a massive hydroslide that had fast flowing water. There were also three competitions and I won all of them. The first one was to get across the pool toy as fast as you can and the fastest time won a prize. I bet everyone (even Sophie) and I got to say my name and school over the loudspeaker. To win the second challenge you had to do the best bomb or jump off a high surface and I drew with Sophie. To win the third challenge you had to win a swimming race and I won that too. I had a great time. When we went home I played touch With Sophie, Sam and Jack. We played almost four times a day. On the very last day of the holidays it was my Dad’s birthday. His idea of fun is to go look at grass on his birthday. Then it was school time.
