Social Dance 2013
Last night we had our Rimu house social dance. Unfortunately I was unable to dance as I had torn ligaments in my shoulder a few weeks back. We did dances like the Cha Cha, Samba, Jive, Waltz, Cha Cha Slide and more.

Recount Of Formal Occasion
One formal occasion that I have been to is my step sister's wedding. We had to help out with setting up all of the venues and decorations. We went to the top of a hill for the ceremony then went back to the Whakatane Golf Club for the feast. My mum had to buy me a suit so I could be the second best man. There were several old cars that we got to go in, there was also a limousine!

Term 3 Disco
Last night there was a school disco, unfortunately I didn't go... Thats what I first thought, everyone said that it was terrible. Nearly anyone turned up due to the poor execution of the last disco. I was not to keen on being bumped around in a large crowd. I had to do homework anyways. I am quite glad that I didn't go because I tend to get bored unless there is lots of entertainment. Apparently there was only around 200 people that actually went.

Norm Hewitt - SPCA
Last block a former All Black and a motivational SPCA speaker. It was "Awesome" with little bunny ears. He spoke for a whole block and managed to keep my attention the whole time. In the end it got a bit boring, but it was interesting.

Movie Review - Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters
Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters is an action/horror/fantasy movie that has been recently released. This movie was directed by Tommy Wirkola and starred Jeremy Renn & Gemma Arterton. So far there is no sequel as it is a new release. The movie had a budget of $50,000,000! It has earned $225,703,405 on box office so far.
Hansel and Gretel are left in the woods to survive by themselves on a misty winter evening. They are about to starve to death when they come across a candy cottage, little do they know that there is a witch hiding inside. At this time they didn't know the powers behind the candy on the house. The candy made them immune to witch's magic...
This movie would be suited for ages 13 and over, it has a high amount of violence and some swearing.

Spring Poem
Spring is a time of birth, new animals & new flowers.
Picking the bright flowers that have recently bloomed.
Radiant heat coming from the ball of fire above us.
"Ice cold drinks" advertised by the vendors carrying signs around.
Nature starts to shrivel because of the loss of rain.
Grandparents stock up the box of biscuits for when you arrive.
