chapter 9

There I was in the car going to somewhere totally different. I didn't exactly know where we were going so I decided to ask someone who did now, obviously it was mum she new everything. Mum said that we were going to a Indian temple because our neighbours are Indian and they have a celebration, not diwali something else. I don’t know how to pronounce it but I tried my hardest. Mum said there was some bad news and that was we didn't have the right clothes to wear so she rung up Rose’s mum. When mum and Rose’s mum finished with their conversation mum said that she got everything sorted. I asked what we were wearing she said we’ll got to the temple and Rose’s mum will give us something to wear. Dad finally arrived at the temple and there was picture of the god. In the entrance door Rose’s family was waiting for us. Rose’s mum gave me, Emily and Amilar the something but different sizes and gave mum a dress sort of thing called a sari and dad wore what he was already wearing. Mum looked amazing when she came out wearing the sari, Rose’s mum had put quite a bit of make up on her. We went up a lot of stairs, me and Rose skipped up the stairs. when we finished praying I asked Rose all the god’s name they had a lot of god’s, I couldn't keep track of it. There was a place and they we’re going to do a garba we stayed for a while but then it got boring so we went home. I was exhausted when I got. As soon as my head hit the pillow I fell asleep.                           

Chapter 8

 

As I stepped in the class looking astonished, everything looked different than I expected it to be. I walked all the way to Twiliar to say hi, but before I went close to her I took that look of my face then said hi. Miss Worthington took the roll and we started the day. A teacher called Miss Mathews came to teach us just for the first block. She told us how to be sun smart and why we have to be sun smart. It was because there was this layer around earth called the ozone layer to protect it from the sun’s rays of light. But there was a big problem, because there were two holes in the ozone layer. One was up and one was down, the down one was very close to New Zealand. Before I didn't even care about being sun smart I didn't even Know what was being sun smart, I guess it’s because that we don’t have any holes on our side back in Grace land. But know I learnt my lesson to be sun smart by putting on sunblock, wearing a hat and to always drink water. Miss Mathews also told us that everything is a technology, like a pencil before in the olden days they used ink and feathers to write but then someone brainy enough invented a pencil it was popular in the olden days I bet. But now a laptop and computer is invented you don’t need a paper to write with it,it already has it’s own paper and you can store everything safely on it.     

Chapter 7

Buddy In The Holiday

As I was in the car playing with my twin sisters ready for my new adventure. I couldn't wait to go in the train ride. After that long, one million hour drive we finally reached the train station. As I took my first step in the train station it felt so amazing and buzzy. Mum, dad, Amiler, Emily and I only came, the fossils were with the new neighbours. We went to get on the train when suddenly a man said

“you can’t get in unless and until you have a hop card or ticket”.

“Forget about the ticket what’s a hop card”? I asked with a very confused face. The man answered me and said you don’t have to have a hop card you can get a ticket from one of those places he said pointing to the ticket place. So we went there and asked for a ticket. Mum said hi very kindly but the man did not reply her, how rude I thought, he should have some manners. So we got the ticket and showed the ticket to the man then we hopped on the train good use of hop. I wonder what you do with a card, you hopping around with it?. We went all round New Zealand like New market, Manurewa and more. I thought of all those names of the places, I wonder what they mean. We got of at Pukekohe and went to have some food and do a bit of shopping at malls and shops. But right now if I didn't eat food I would just fall on my face on the hard, hard concrete. So we went to McDonald, what a name I thought I thought there would be weird food but when we actually went there it was really yummy food. I got a kids meal and you also get a toy with it so cool right?. When we finished we went to do a bit of shopping. Me and mum went to places and Amiler, Emily and dad went to another place for toys I bet you can guess why because I can. Me and mum went to a Christmas tree shop, there were so many nice things there were also cute soft toys.

Chapter 6

Chapter 6-Arriving To Mount Roskill

As I stepped out of the plane after that long flight,I looked everywhere because I was so happy to finally come to New Zealand. Even my family was. Mum and dad were looking around and telling everybody to look at the tower (sky tower), the fossils which are grandpa and grandma were also looking at the tower. And finally my two twin sisters Amelia and Emily they were jumping up and down and was pulling my shirt and saying “LOOK LOOK LOOK” at the same time. We went in our taxi.

We had to arrange two taxi’s because not everyone could fit in one taxi.

The taxi driver said

“first time in New Zealand”?.

Mum said

“OH yes, it is amazing country and may ask you a question please”?

“of course you can ma’am” said the taxi driver”.

“What my the big tower be”?

“OOH that is the amazing sky tower, it’s New Zealand's native tower”. “To bad grandma Sue and grandpa Bob couldn't come on the same taxi, they should really listen to these interesting facts”. said mum.

I was looking out the window when I saw a school the kids were playing outside must have been lunch  time for them. I wonder which school I'm going to so I ask mum.

“Mum which school am I going to”?

“Oh you’re going to May Road School dear”.

“I've heard it’s a wonderful school honey, I bet you’ll love it” said mum. “Hopefully” I said. The driver said

“OK we're here, mount roskill”

“hope you enjoy your trip” said the driver

“ thanks here’s some tips for driving us here” said mum. “ Thank you ma’am”.

“WOW” I said looking at our house it didn't look like a house at all it looked more like a mansion, it was nearly as big as our house in Grace land. Amazed I stepped into our new home actually new mansion. I was the first person to get inside when the fossils arrived and said “sorry it took us a long time” “it’s OK granny” I said.

As I inspected my house I saw it had everything we needed.

The wallpaper was all blue and it had black designs on it.

I went into one of the rooms and it was freezing, that’s because it was a ice skating room. I went in my room and it had 3D TV that was just incredibly amazing.  I went in the living room and I saw another 3D TV.

Mum said that there was something waiting for me on the couch.

So I ran as fast as I can and and and I speechless about this. Mum had bought me a husky and a dog. They were so cute I couldn't take my eyes of them. My 2 sister's Amilar and Emily started to pet them.             

I asked mum where my bedroom was. And she said “up the stairs, turn right then left and go up the stairs again and go right again”.

“OK I guess”?.  I tried to fellow how mum said but I couldn't remember all the lefts and rights.  

When I finally found my room I said “WOW”. My room was amazing it had purple with pink polka dot wallpaper.

It was already neat and tidy it had a bed and everything I needed.

My bed was a big and bouncy bed with a Sofia the first sheet on and A big and fluffy pillow. It also had a big unicorn teddy bear on the bed which I was actually hoping for because I told mum I really wanted one of those.

Next to my bed was a little table and it had a lump and a night light.

My draw was all nicely set up it was all white with pink heart handles.

There was a little package there waiting for me when I opened it there was a postcard and a little box. I decided I would read the postcard first, it said To Sophia From Jasmine and Alice Have a great time in New Zealand I read out aloud. Then I opened the small box it was a necklace and it was broken into three little pieces, I bet the other two Jasmine and Alice would have I thought. Suddenly mum called and said Sophia get changed we’re going to meet the neighbours. So i got changed when I finished I tried to work my why out and find mum so I went left and right. When I finally found mum in the kitchen talking to dad, when she saw me she said finally. Then me, mum, Amilar and Emily went to our neighbours. When we went inside there house they greeted us with warm cookies. There was a girl called  and she come with her aunty and grandma. At least I would have someone to keep me company.

While the adults were having a conversion Amilar and Emily were playing snakes and ladders. Me and Jazz were getting to know each other well. So the first question I asked was “ are you new here” and she said “yes”. Then I asked her “which school will you be going to”? “I am going to May Road School” said Jazz  and I said “me too”.

“Would you like to be my friend”? asked Jazz politely. “OOH yes please, I would love to be you’re friend” I said desperately.

Mum said “it’s time to go Sophia” “OK” I said.

When we went back home I was surprised to see the time, it was 8.00.

So I quickly had dinner really fast.

And went up to my room, unfortunately that took me for ever so now I was really tired and I went to bed without changing my clothes.

Chapter 1- My Country

My country is a country of crystal clear beaches. It follows the seasons like, if it is winter it will snow and if it is summer it will be really hot.

My country has a big city and is very busy at places and some places of the city is very quiet and peaceful. It has lakes where you can have walks with your  family. There’s nice waterfalls to have a swim in.   

In my country there is no violence. There is a tower like the Eiffel tower in France. My country is similar to France.    

It has lots of amazing foods.

There are lots of bushes and forests to go and have a walk in.

I absolutely love my country because there are kind people all around.
