In the summer holidays I went to Whoa! Studios (That’s in Auckland) and I saw a play called Custard of the Caribbean. After they showed us how they made the play Daniel and I got a photo with some of the puppets and got an ice cream.
At my swimming school I made a Duplo obstacle course based on this TV show called Wipeout.
The last 2 photos are me and my brother, Daniel, at East End beach. We played at Paris Plage and had fish and chips in the evening.

This is me when I was six months old at the Burj Khalifa with my dad.
I was flying from London to New Zealand to meet my Grandad, Nan, Poppa and Nanna in 2009. I flew on an Airbus A380 which is the worlds largest passenger aircraft!!!
In term 2 of my piano lessons I moved up to level 1. It is a good time because I am learning new songs to play and learning new notes on the piano like treble A,C,E and learning FACE on the treble lines in unit 2.
I have been learning some songs to play when I do not even need to practice and I have been showing Amanda, my piano teacher, that I can play the songs that I do not need to practice . Amanda was so proud that I could play the hard songs. It has been going well for my piano this term.
This is part of my minuet project for my music teacher, Amanda. I coded my minuet from my music book in Sonic Pi. Dad did one too. His does the teachers part too. You can see it here.

These are our new kittens. They are Tonkinese and born on December 19 2016 and are 5 months old. The one at the top is my kitten called Silky because she has soft silky fur and the one curled up is my brothers one and it is called Chloe because she was adventurous like Chloe on The Secret Life of Pets. They are also twins.
A few weeks ago I was keen to have a go at playing the piano. My piano teacher is Amanda. I have been doing piano for 7 weeks. And I have finished piano for the term. I am really sad that the piano is finished for the term. At my last session I made my own song to play to Amanda. I liked playing the piano and I like Amanda. My favourite song was Ode To Joy. Next term I will be way happier because I get to play the piano again.
Yesterday Dad and I were very excited because the Nitro Circus was on! When we went in there was a man who checked our tickets and we were good to go. On the first day it was raining and we sat down for a long time and then they said it was cancelled but on the next day it was sunny the whole time.
First the people on the motorbikes did tricks up a ramp. Next some BMX people did very crazy tricks on BMX bikes, scooters and roller skates. Some people tried to go down on some furniture. One person went down on a couch, caldron and a super market trolley.
When we were watching the Nitro Circuses tricks Dad and I watched the mistakes and people hurting themselves. Once a little girl went on a motorbike and braked her leg and she nearly fell 2.5m but lucky the other rider caught her.
Before the end of the Nitro Circus, the doughnut lady came down our entrance and Dad got ten doughnuts and Dad had five and I had five. Before the right food store was closed we got a hot dog and Dad got chicken tenders and chips and then the Nitro Circus ended.
