The Yacht Ride

A few days ago I went on a yacht. The yacht tilted it was freaky! It was my dads friends yacht.

The yacht had two floors.  It had one cabin and two bedrooms and no tv. The boat ride was fun. My favourite part was when I got to drive the yacht.

CHERUB

CHERUB is a book series that I read, I started reading CHERUB because my teacher, uala recommended it and I would of started reading it anyway because my brother reads CHERUB. I just started reading the forth book in the series and so far my favourite book in the series  is the 3rd one called Maximum security I'd rate it 8/10 there's 12/13 CHERUB books, and there's a 2nd CHERUB series that has 4 books so far. The reason I did 12/13 before was because one of the books is part 8 and a half  thats called Dark Sun, I haven't read it so I'm not sure what it has in it but it's not actually part of the series it's just an extra book in the series. There is another series that's about how CHERUB was made, it's called Henderson's boys and its got 7 books in the series. All these books are written by a guy called: Robert Muchamore, there's also another series of books that doesn't actually have a name for the series but I call it the Rock war series because the first book in the series is called Rock war,I'm not sure how many books there are in the series but I'm guessing at least 5 books, by the way the Rock War series has nothing to do with CHERUB, it's not in the same world or anything. If your wondering what CHERUB is it's a thing where kids go on missions and get bad guys wich it TERRIBLE, the main character is called: James. The reason I do CHERUB in capital letters is because CHERUB stands for something and I'm quite sure that the H in CHERUB stands for Henderson but I don't know what the rest stands for, I'd recommend if you start reading the first book called: The Recruit. CHERUB is a great series and you should read it.

In the Holidays

In the holidays I went to rockclimbing with my grandparents.The next day I went to the spongebob 

Movie with my grandparents. If you are wandering why I am doing everything with my grandparents it is because I had a six nights at my grandparents house.I stayed at my grandparents house two nights and four nights at Russell with  my grandparents. At Russell we picked olives.The day after we picked the olives we went to town and got a ice cream .Then I went home and played a game of scrabble and I lost.When we came back to Auckland we went to my house  and had some banana muffins.A couple hours later we opened the presents from my mum and dad then we had dinner.I did all that with my sister. Then I went to bed. When I started with my grandparents my parents were in Australia.And that's the main thing I did in the holidays.

WELLINGTON!!!

In the holidays I went to Wellington the car ride took 5-6 hours to the place we stayed first. The first place we stayed was my mums friends place we stayed there for about half a day in total. Then we stayed at a hotel called rydges it was AWESOME  there was a pool and a spa and other awesome stuff. After that we stayed at my dads friends place for a night then in the morning I went to my aunties Place then the next morning we went on the most boring car trip in the universe that took 5-7 hours in total. We arrived on Friday night at about 7:45 PM. Out of all the places I went to I'd say my favourite is when I went to weta workshop, weta workshop is a place where they make props for movies and they look amazing! Another place I went to was a museum it was actually pretty good, it had fossils and other stuff. I like Wellington because it has lots of awesome things to do BUT there is one bad thing it is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY windy.
