Fighting Pirates

Fighting Pirates

Yesterday some New Zealand Navy ships set off from Devonport to defend against Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden, off the coast of Africa. They are going to spend seven months stopping the pirates from taking other ships hostage. Part of the reason why New Zealand is sending out ships is because they are looking for a seat on the U.N Security Council and this is all part of the campaign.       Callum 13.08.13

School disco

In three days it will be the local School Disco. I’m still thinking about what I shall wear. I have multiple costumes from when I was six and seven, but now they are all too small, so I might just have to wear a dress unless Mum designs me a costume that fits me. Still, I am EXTREMELY excited, because I haven’t been to a school disco for so long!

Golf Tournament

Golf Tournament

Yesterday there was a golf tournament at the Toko golf field. Our team was Aaron, Alex and I. We scored 101 points over all 9 holes. I won a golf ball because I was using the coaching to get better. I think my biggest hit off the tee was when we were on the last hole because it went about one quarter of the way to the hole.                 By Callum         27.8.13

 

 

 

 

Blue coming to my house

Blue coming to my house

On Sunday, Blue came to my house. We made a big grass wall and smashed it with my little dump truck. When we did that the dump truck flipped and rolled over. Then we went to the school to play with our bikes for 30 minutes. Half an hour later we went home and dropped a plastic man called Steve out the window up the stairs. Then Blue went home. It  was fun.

Yesterday team NZ won the first race of the challenger series of the Americas cup. The NZ boat was the only one in the race after the Italian team withdrew. I don’t know why they withdrew.

Cows

Cows

Last night, just before teatime, my family and I had to go and shift our two cows to the paddock down the road, where there was fresh grass.  We got one of the cows down the road easily but the other one wasn’t cooperating with us so we had to bring out the big guns, aka my Dad. After an hour of trying we went back inside, except for my Dad who tried for another hour. Eventually he got the stubborn cow in.  When he came inside we congratulated him then finally sat down for tea together.
