Duffy Show

Intro-On monday in the afternoon we went to the Duffy show in the hall,it was mainly about encouraging others to something they are not good at and he was trying to help siena to read, and she got better and better at reading and she had a really good imagination.

All of a sudden Duffy came  from the back door  and played his song. And then the the show started. One lady played a bunch of characters. Siana played ( the person that does not like to read) So one day after school on a rainy day Siana went to the library and found Duffy,Duffy said “ hi Siana  I you here to buy a book Siana replied I don’t  know how to read  books. 2 days later Siana came to the same library and Duffy helped Siana read.

`

When Duffy teached Siana how to read Siana liked to read a lot but when Duffy asked Siana questions she was into television. After a wild Duffy asked Siana “do you want to have a library card”And that's when Siana’s mum came and said “Siana What are you doing here let’s go home and do the dishes” Siana said Duffy really want’s you to sign the library card. And duffy said to Siana’s mum you like fishing I can give you a fishing book And Siana’s mum said OK i will sign the card. And every day she used to come to the library with her friend after school.

Did you know that the whole point about the people playing the duffy show was to encourage the people to read. What if we did not know how to read we won’t even be saying English

.

What I thought about The Duffy show was it was quiet funny and helpful. all though  they do read.And I hope you enjoyed my Writing

Holiday Highlight

MY HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHT

On Thursday Jan 29th 2015

In the afternoon me and my brother Tai were in his room playing on his, PS4 I was playing second son for him. As I was playing Jordan came along and he said to me,

“ When dad comes back tell him I am gone to the dance OK.” he said and I replied back to him saying, “ OK I will have a good dance.” When Jordan left I was still playing the game, as I was playing I just remembered that tomorrow was Jordan birthday.Then when mum and dad came back from their run, I was so excited that I went to them and I told them that tomorrow was Jordan birthday. They smiled.Once I thought about it I told my sister Lena, when I went to the room I said to her in a  quiet voice “ Lena tomorrow is Jordan's birthday.”

She smiled and she said to me in a regular voice, “ I know baby I will tell you when it is time OK.

When Jordan came back from the dance, the time was 11:58, It was almost 12:00. As the time was ticking, Jordan came to the room and, I asked if he could help me, and he said “ Pass me the controller then.”he said it in a angry grumpy way, I didn't mind so I gave the controller to him.After a few minutes I went to the living room  and it was twelve o’clock  and then I got everyone and we surprised him with a happy birthday song, we all kissed him and wished him a happy birthday.

Learning things during the holidays

Hi My name is Heather and today I am going to tell you what I learned in the past few weeks in my holiday.

I learned that you cant always do whatever you want and, let everybody do the work, you have to get up and help out, you have to help clean the dishes, washing, bed rooms, and all those  things. I learned that you have to get out more not just stay in the house and watch on your laptop or TV all day, we have to give our selves a brake from technology and have a night out with our family.

The other things I know is that when you get out of the house with your family, well you feel free, free like you have never felt before. I love having time out with my family, because they make me feel happy and warm inside, I love family they are the best thing I could ever have more then anything in the world.
