Tamaki Area

The Tamaki are goes from PT to Mt Wellington down to Panmure along Tamaki River.


I have lived here since I was 3 years old. It has been 8 years that's how long I have been living in the Tamaki Area. 

My narrative introduction

As I slowly walked over to Mr Munchkin's house, my heart started to pound, “BOOM BA BOOM”Mr Munchkin’s dog is snoring so loud it makes my legs shiver every time I take a step.1 step, 2 steps, DOINK, I trip over a small tiny stone. But just to let you know, just with a little tiny move or sound from a distance of 2 metres, Mr Munchkin’s dog will wake up.As soon as he gets up, with a shock he starts grinding his teeth. I’m about to faint but I don’t want my body to be eaten by the fearest and scariest dog in the whole entire world. I get up so fast with hope.

I think I did really well on my narrative introduction because it has a very good hook and I have given a hint about my problem.

Lost at Mako

LOST AT MAKO ISLAND!!

It was a beautiful Saturday morning at Mission Bay Beach. I was really excited as I aimed straight for the sea, I jumped in like I've never been in water before. While i’m in the water I see birds flying high in the sky, my family playing with the sand and the sea shells, everyone is happy. After awhile I was a bit tired from playing in the water. So I just layed down like a starfish closed my eyes and just relaxed.

All of a sudden I hear this hush noise I got up, the hush noise was from the sea water. I was so shocked, I started to panic. I was screaming for help several times, “HELP” HELP” but no reply no one could hear me nor see me. There I started to freak out and while I was freaking out I could feel the tears running down my face like a tap. The hush and strong water has pushed me to an island, It was like another world that i've never seen before.

It was amazing. Straight away I said to myself I need to find a way to get back to Mission Bay. So I decided to search this island. I got out of the water with cuts and bruises. I see this volcano that didn’t look like one, there was some rocks beautiful rocks I decided to follow the beautiful rocks and there it lead me to a cave that was leaded to a volcano.

As I roamed inside the Volcano I didn't know what to do. In just 5 minutes of roaming I see this flashy, shiny light hitting me with the hotness.

The light was so bright it convinced me to follow it. So I followed. It looked like it was leading me to a doorway made out of rock. I opened the rock door with shock. I see this round gorgeous circle, the gorgeous circle was the beginning of the light. As I stepped slowly towards the gorgeous circle, I touched the gorgeous circle, but just before you know it I fell through this hole in the ground. I had hit my head before I fell. Just then when I fell all I could see what nice clear blue water it was almost like a little blue pool. But before I could see exactly where I had Fallen I had been transferred  back to Mission Bay beach.

I was so shocked, I said to myself “What just happened, How did this happened”. I was just Speechless!!, my mouth was just empty no more words were to be said. But at the same time I was happy. So happy to see my family again. Unfortunately they were not at that spot where we were having a family picnic, so i searched all over for them but I couldn’t find them. So I walked all the way home. As soon as I reached our number of our house I slowly walked towards the front door. I was walking like a zombie, almost like the Walking Dead. I kicked the door wide open, there my family were sitting down watching movies on sky and having a giggle, I was so mad. I headed straight for my bedroom. I fell straight on my bed with a sore body. I headed straight to sleep. As I drifted off to sleep I was dreaming about what might of happen to me. suddenly when I wake up I couldn't feel my legs, I looked  down…… AAAAAARRRRRHHHH!!!!!! I freaked out. I.. I.. I..  Had a tail. A nice blue toned tail.

I was amazed and shocked at the same time. I didn’t know what to do. I went back to sleep hoping that this was a dream. I woke back up,I looked down my tail had disappeared. YES!!

“its just a dream” “its just a dream” I started singing several times…..

IT’S JUST A DREAM!!

My fun as holoiday

On Saturday I slept over my cousins house. When I arrived at my cousins house I was so happy so see them because I haven't seen them in ages plus they moved houses. 

As soon as I walked inside everyone was running up to me saying "long time no see" and I said I know.After awhile my auntie told me to go out side and play with the rest of the famz. So I did. We played or sorts of family games. My best game that I enjoyed was when we played hide and seek. The weather was so hot I was about to melt. Next we all went back inside. We also watched movies. After like 2 hours of watching movies we had lots of treats. I had so much fun.

Going to the Movies

on October the 2nd my friends and I went to the movies. We went to watch the Smurfs 2. It was so cool. When we arrived at Sylvia Park we went for a wonder around before it was time to go to the cinemas. When it was time to go to the cinemas all of the girls were so excited. I went with Savannah, Caitlin and Mengchun. The movies was so cool. The best part of the movies was when it came to the end, all the Smurfs returned back home safely. The part that I disliked was when Gargamel took Smurfette away from the Smurfs Village. We also had free ice blocks.

Lunch Time

Today for lunch my cousins and I had KFC. It was so nice, I am already enjoying my holiday, thanks to my lovely cuzzy Nazz.
