Walt: Write a reflection!
Polyfest is a time for you to enjoy watching your children, cousins, and other people represent their culture. Polyfest is also a competition for high schools and how good they do.
Team five and other parents got to go to polyfest on Wednesday. I felt really excited arriving at polyfest because I was excited to go and do some activities and just, have fun with my friends. I was in pod 4, which I (personally) think is the best pod! We also got spit up into groups. I was in Whaea Kelly’s group and we had lots of fun!
Once we got to our activities we started straight away. I was filled with excitement, I was making sure that I made most of my time! All the activities we did include teamwork, so that was the main thing we did and learnt. The activities were really interesting for me because they are something that I have never done before. I hope that in the future I will be able to play these games.
One of the positive things I did at polyfest was being able to hang out with my friends. I had lots of fun doing zumba, buying food and doing all the activities. I was super lucky to be in a group with my friends along with Whaea Kelly! I had lots of fun with my group, and also had lots of laughs. I really enjoyed hanging out with every one and can’t wait for next year to come!

My trip to the hospital
Well, Hi there blog viewers. As you all read from the title, I went to visit the hospital. Last Wednesdays I had to stop eating from the moment the time hit 7:00 am. The reason why I had to stop eating at 7:00 is because I was going for surgery.
Well, how was I feeling? I was feeling terrified. I felt nervous and scared. Although some people may not be scared of having surgery, this was my first time! What was the surgery on? Well, I was having surgery on my tonsils. I was getting my tonsils taken out. Why? You may be thinking. Well, here's the reason. Each time I had gone to the doctor for something, like a sore throat, the doctor would always say that my tonsils are pretty big. Now according to them that's not normal for kids and so they had to get them checked. My parents sometimes say, ”that I do snore when I sleep” and so they had to look through even harder. Later on I did have to get my tonsils taken out and that's when I ended up in the hospital.
So on Wednesday, I was given exact instructions to not eat after 7:00 and to only allowed to have clear fluids. I was also going to sleep there that night and so I did have to pack. In my bag I packed clothes, paper, pens, and some of my own supplies. That day I woke up early and ate breakfast. I had peanut butter and jam toasts. That was the last time I was going to be able to see food. Later on, me and my mum made our way down to the hospital and got checked in. I got shown my room, the playroom, bathrooms, and kitchen. First, we stayed outside the playroom, we drew and played games until it was time to go in for surgery. I was getting a bit tiered and so I went into my room and bad a bit of a nap.
A while later we got taken downstairs for my surgery. I got to go downstairs while laying in bed! My nurse Maddy took care of me during that day. She was really nice. She took me down, made sure I was alright and left to see me when I woke up. When it was time, I got taken into the room, where there was a lot of people. My mum came in with me, just to make sure I was alright. Once we entered the room I got placed on a bed and was put to deep sleep. The way I got put to sleep is, they inserted medicine into me that made me feel all droopy and sleepy. Well, they put me to sleep not how I pictured it. They stuck a needle into my arm then the medicine. I got told to take deep breaths so I wouldn't think about it. I took a few deep breaths and in the next second, I was asleep.
I don't have much to talk about because this is the part where I forgot everything except for waking up. I woke up feeling all sleepy. I heard a fading voice asking me if I wanted an ice block. I received an ice block from the nurse looking after me. The nurse called my mum and Maddy. My mum walked through the door along with my dad. I was still feeling a bit sleepy and so I didn't really notice. When I woke up I felt like I was dreaming. I felt dizzy and sleepy. A while after enjoying my ice block Maddy took me upstairs and provided me with another ice block. Because I was staying overnight my dad decided to stay with me, while my mum went home to look after my siblings.
I got taken to my room and finally had something to eat. I got to enjoy an extra cheese and meatball subway sandwich. My throat would have been sore but because the doctors gave me medicine to fall asleep my throat was feeling numb. After a while, my mum had to go and all there was left for me to do was sleep and try my best to recover.
Of course, I had an amazing first experience and hope to recover soon. As I just said I am still recovering and taking, medicine, but I know that super soon I will be fully recovered and up and running!
A big thanks to all the nurses that looked after me during my time in the hospital. I really do appreciate the work you have done not just for me but for everyone else too.

Trip to Cambridge
On Sunday me and my mum went shopping to buy my dad new shoes. We bought the shoes at Puma and everything was on special. During shopping my grandmother called and asked if we would like to come with her to watch my brother play his rugby tournament down in Cambridge. We had a little think about it and kept on shopping. After a few minute we finally found my dad's new shoes oh yea and our decision. It was my brothers first game and we didn't want to miss out so we agreed to go with my grandparents. Once we bought the shoes we quickly made our way home because we didn't want to miss our ride. We got home did a couple thing and my grandparents turned up, we hoped in the car and started our trip. It takes about 2 hours to get to Cambridge. By the time we started our trip me and my mum hadn't have breakfast so we decided to stop somewhere in Cambridge and get some....... pretty much brunch. Once we arrived close to Cambridge there were a lot of amazing houses views and it was so fun on thee road with loud music pumping. There were a lot of cows too. MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. OK back to the story. We arrived in Cambridge and had a little drive around to find us some breakfast. We stopped and found a bakery. We went in and got some food. I got a mince and cheese pie, a drink and a cup of chips. YUMMM. After breakfast we went to St Peters and went to the field my bother was playing on. It was very loud. Lots of people. There were even drums hyping up the crowd. (Skipping to the end of the game) My brother played the whole game and even got a try. They did win there game! (good on them). After watching his game I realized I had to experience that whole ride home back, until my grandmother said "should we go out for ice cream?" I sat up wasn't so sad anymore hahahah. I got a double scoop and the two flavors were lemon and lime and cookie and cream. After ice cream we went strait home and played around.
