Once upon a time there was a girl named Lucy and she lived with her aunt because her parent's past away when she was only little.When she grew older she would always get these whispers in her head and she thought that it was just her imagination but then she had seen that it was true. But when Lucy grew older and older things started to seem pretty weird like things started to dissapear but she was 15 so she didn't really care that much. Then she heard something whispering to her like when she was little it was a mean gost with an evil witch that lived across from her house.They had been whispering in her head her hole life so they can turn her into an evil kid! They were bully's.The next's day Lucy went to go and catch the bus to school when Lucy got to school she got some more whispers in her head again and she new that it was the mean gost and the evil witch so...She figerd a way out that she can put a spell on them so they would stop whispering to her and kill them so they can not make her into a evil kid.When she got home she went in her room and searched up on her laptop how to put a spell on a witch and a mean gost to kill them.When she searched up how to kill the mean gost and the evil witch she went to the store and got the ingredients when she got home she made the poshion and then she went to the witches house and the witch said what are you doing her little girl and she said i'm here to give you this poshion to drink so it will make me into a evil kid and the witch said yes when she was inside the witch and the gost drank it and turned into a stinky little rat and Lucy laughed.Then she squished them and then she didn't have to listen to the whispers again.

My Mum
My Mum has dark brown eyes and she has shiny blonde brown hair. My mums skin colour is light brown she is quite small but not the smaliesd yet.
My mum likes going on family adventures and going to my aunty's house. She doesn't spend heaps and heeps of time on her phone. The sorts of things that she would do is that she would always go to my aunty's house or help us with our homework if we need help.
Me and my mum always go shopping together we always get the same clothes at Postie Plus but when we go in to town me and my mum have to keep it a secret because we don't like the boys coming with us.
My Mum is the BEST MUM EVER because when she is cleaning I will help her and when we finish she will give me a whole bunch of lollies. I will always love her even though when she grows me when I’m not listening and fighting with the boys i Love my mum.

Tsunami Evacuation
08.03.2021
On Friday there was a Tsunami Evacuation when it happened I felt so confused because when Whaea-Deb said shut your chrome books and she said pack your guys bags fast. At first I thought that we were going on an real trip because she said that we were going on an adventure but when the alarm went on I felt so scared that something happened. when we head about the tsunami I was freaking out but when my aunty came and picked us up I was all good and lucky I had a friend other wise I would've of been bored. When Casey came I was fine when we got a little down the hill we stopped and then Sheree went to go and get her truck and then my aunty went to go and get her truck. While we were waiting me, Casey Charlie and Donnie we hopped in Sheree truck and then Charlie and Donnie were playing loud songs which was so annoying so then me and Casey tried to take the phone off them but they keep on doing it so we told on Casey mum. After that me and Casey just waited for the boys to finish with the phone well we were waiting me and Casey just played some hand games. After a while Casey mum had to go and pick her girls up so she was going to texts us if it was good to go and it was because Awanui was closed when Casey mum texted us we left to go home and that was so lucky that we live on a hill another wise I would of told mum to go to nanny's.

Tractor Trek
Last Friday we had a Tractor Trek I saw some people screaming and yelling it was so fun and my favourite tractor was the one that we were in front of. I climbed on the back tyre and it was pretty high I was scared that I couldn't get down. When lunch was finished we went into the hall to have a korero about our feelings and this lady called Cat talked about feelings. After that part the show was finished and we got to see the tractors again.
