My Labour weekend!

                                     My Labour Weekend :)

Kia Ora readers, welcome back to my blog I hope you are all doing well. Today's blog is referring to my entertaining labour weekend. As some of you may know last weekend we had a long weekend, thankfully. I am going to be sharing with you some of the most enjoyable things I did with my family and friends. 

S-I had spent so much time with my cousins and my family, playing games, having dinner, staying up till the early hours, telling scary stories. I had enjoyed partaking in all the activities I was welcomed to. 

P-I was given the instruction to wake up early for our early morning walk which lead us all around Hagley Park. I enjoyed this because I got to catch up with my aunts and cousins. On the same day of the walk, we were invited to the Groynes for a family bbq. In this bbq, we took part in physical activities such as volleyball and touch. 

I-Something that I did to extend my knowledge would have been to learn new games. I really enjoyed this because I got to learn it from my friends and cousins. 

L-I basically enjoyed every bit of my weekend, I was with the people I love, and as you may know that spending time with the people you love is priceless. I had a wonderful sleepover and an amazing bbq at the Groynes. 

E-My emotions would have been, lively, happy, sometimes annoyed. Because for those of you who have cousins they were a little bit annoying. 

S-My success in my weekend would have been that I woke up early to go for a walk with my aunties and cousins. This walk was at 6am in the morning and we had gone to bed at 4am in the morning so I was brain dead half the time. 

Thank you for taking your time to read my blog, I hope you also had an amazing labour weekend. If you have anything to share please drop it in the comment box. Have a good day! Cheers!

                          The Tuatara 

Kia Ora readers welcome back to my blog I hope you are all doing well. Today I am going to be blogging about another topic from uncle Don knows heaps of wacky stuff journals. Although at this point I have been researching a totally different topic. As some of you may know the topic of my blog is the tuatara, the tuatara is one of New Zealand's endemic creatures meaning can only be found in New Zealand. The tuatara looks very similar to a lizard but is not, it is known to be the only living dinosaur alive. It is known for its third eye sitting in the top center of its skull. In this Hurumanu we were given the task to make a DLO filled with as many facts of the topic we had chosen. 

The tuatara comes from the Rhynchocephalia family that lived in the time of the dinosaurs. The name tuatara is a Maori word meaning peaks on back or spiny back. They adore cool weather such as lizards like warm weather. Tuataras can regrow their tails if it has been chopped off by a predator. Tuataras are found offshore and in the mainlands. I hope you enjoyed my blog so far, thank you for taking your time to read my blog. Don't forget to check out my other uncle don knows heaps of wacky stuff blogs. Hope you have a good one! Cheers!
