The Holiday

“Bring your boxes down” I ran down stairs and put my boxes in the garage. “Can you help me I need to pack the car” “why” I replied “because were moving”” OOOOHHH thats right”.

“Dad when is the truck going to get here” “I dont know” he replied as the truck came up the drive I shouted “dad the truck is here”. Finally they got out of the truck and got straight to work. I wached them chuck the couches of the deck to the other people on the truck.When they got about half way another truck came and three more men jumped out to come and help.

They drove to my new house and unloaded the truck, I felt so exhausted I jumped on the couch and watched TV.

Christmas to me shouts presents and its also a great day for my sister, jesus its her birthday so she sometimes gets huge presents. like last year she got a trip to Australia . This year I hope to get that too.

My best Christmas was when My family and me went to Christchurch to celebrate with my grandparents.It was cool because we got so many presents from so many people.I love Christmas.

Net Book Reflection

In term one 2011 we got to buy net books.The best thing about having net books is that we dont only do work on it but can also play games. We have improved a lot in maths because we have a math whizz account which means we get to practice in a fun way. Editing our writing is another positive. If we need a dictionary we just search up dictionary and use that instead of getting up walking over to the shelf to get the dictionary and look for the word. Its so easy to get rid of your mistakes, you just press delete.

The only thing wrong with having netbooks is that at times there are problems that we can’t fix Luckily we have Nevyn, he is our technician guy. Another problem is that a few people use their net books in the wrong way such as going on facebook and social networks.

Despite  those negative things net books are much better than books. If we had to go back to paper I would be very very sad.
