Oh my god! I can’t believe it! I’m a Year 8! And yesterday was my first day as one. It felt great! I’m really excited about this year, because I get to have a go at being House Captain and Student Councillor. Now I don’t mind what one I get, that is if I get one, because as long as a have one of those jobs I’ll be happy. That’s all I have to say for now. See you next time!
Our trip to Mt Maunganui Beach February 4, 2008

Last week my family and I went to Mt Maunganui Beach. At first we were going to go to Raglan Beach because usually go there, but this time we decided to go somewhere else. Mt Maunganui beach was great! It had huge waves, the sun was out, and we had lots of fun! We had Burger King, and Fish ‘n’ Chips for lunch, which made us all feel bloated. The sand there was so hot, that our feet felt like they were burning. One of our major concerns when we got there, was that there was no place to get changed. Finally after waiting for a very long time, we found a place where you kind of went underground, but it wasn’t underground. So we all quickly got changed, and headed for the cold, salty water. Once we got in, the water was really warm. At one time while we were there, there was a HUGE wave, and I mean it, it was HUGE! It went over me, and suddenly I froze……………..
I thought I was going to die! I was so scared. I tried my hardest to get out of the wave, and finally I managed my way out. At other times, I got all the salty water into my eyes, and they were stinging for a long time. My eyes went red and stayed like that the whole day. On the way back home, nearly all of us fell asleep. We all had a great day, except for that big wave that came over me.

Can you believe it!? Sir Edmund Hillary passed away early this month. And it was a couple of days after my birthday. I feel so sorry for his friends and family. He was a really great guy. For those of you who don’t know who Sir Edmund Hillary is, he was the first person in the world to climb the tallest mountain in the world, Mt Everest. He also helped thousands of people in Nepal, by building them schools and hospitals. Sir Edmund Hillary is my greatest hero, and is said to be “The greatest son of New Zealand.” Sir Edmund Hillary’s funeral took place in Auckland, but I don’t remember what church it was in. Well I don’t have much more to right so see you next time.
Bye.
