Fo Guang Shan Temple Visit

On Tuesday the 21st of may All of the Year 7s at HHS went to the Fo Guang Shan Temple And it was a lot of fun. First off we got split into two groups and then we peacefully walked into the art gallery so the could talk to us about 3G 4G which means 3 goodness and 4 givings and the three goodness is good deeds,good words and good thoughts and that is the 3G and the 4G is  Give hope,Give joy,Give confidence and Give convenience. After that the two groups split up and my group went up stairs into the hallway of Time that led us to the library that was really small and was filled with books of all different languages and the Guide talked to us about some stuff and then we headed back down the stairs and back outside where we started and we all lined up to get water tattoos on our hands.After that we switched with the other group and we got to do what they were doing before which was, we were making a lotus flower which like a Lilly pad which pretty white flower with pink tips and then on the bottom we added a rubber band so we can wear it in our hair or on our wrists. Once we had finished making our beautiful flowers we headed outside where they provided biscuits and water. Once we had finished our delicious snack we went back upstairs and went into this big golden room and in surprise the police were there they did there scene and then they picked some people to get dressed up as police after that the police left and then our Gide took us through the journey of meditation and that was the most peaceful and silent time of the whole trip. after the peaceful meditation our Gide showed us a short film about prince Siddhartha and how he become Buddha. After that we headed out to the buses and the journey was over .

Diary Entry 2

Diary Entry 2

My first day

lets start off by me being i'm my bed and suddenly the light was switched on and the sound of my Mums voice screeching at me to get up and that's when the day began. I managed to pull myself out of bed to get dressed then there was a load thump,I looked up to see two black eyes staring at me then a slight meow coming from a white figure that was standing on my desk waiting for a proper greeting. and of course,it was Luna/cat and before she had a chance to jump on me,I slowly took a step back and carried on getting ready to go. I finished up packing and then all of us headed off to the airport.

Once we got to the airport we said our goodbyes to dad and my sister and then we headed to drop our luggage of to the check in and then headed off to wait for the plane to come. After a while on the speaker it said that our flight was being delayed for 20 minutes which I was still happy about because there was free WiFi so I could play my games on my phone. 20 minuets past and there was another call saying that the flight would be delayed for another 30 minuets  because something about the engine of the plane was going wrong and that was sooo annoying but finally we boarded and we headed out to Auckland


When we arrived  my dads cousin picked us up and we went to Motat .At Motat there was a lot of cool things like old phones and fire trucks and then there was this arcade thing that you played pack man on and space invaders and donkey Kong so we played on that for a while. After that there was this huge lamp thing that had lots of photos on it and you could add your own photo to that collection of photos on the lamp thing.Then we looked at how they would send messages  in the old days. After that we went to get lunch from the cafe they had there and the food was delicious. After that we went and looked at the old firetrucks they used to have. After that it was time to explore part two of Motat and to get there you could take your car and drive or you could take the tram for free. So we ended up taking the tram to the second part. Once we got there there was this huge building with lots of planes and computers and stuff that you would see at the Air Museum. soon after we left and went back on the tram to the car and then drove home. When we got there we made a list of we needed to get for the supermarket and then we went and got groceries and after we had tacos for tea and that's is we made the beds and now I am writing this.

Diary Entry 1

For the next six days I am going to be in Auckland and I thought why not share the experience with you.Each day i'm going to be writing a diary entry about the things I have done on that day. Today we haven't left yet but I still wrote an entry anyway:D

Diary Entry One

The Day Before

First of all Tomorrow I am going to Auckland and I'm nervous about going
on planes but I am excited but also sad because i'm going to miss my
friends but worst of all i'm going to be stuck with my sisters and and my
mum for a six days.

But before anything else let me tell you the real reason we are going.
So were going because I really wanted to go and see Ed Sheeran at
his concert but was soooo disappointed when I found out that he
wasn’t coming to Christchurch but that wasn’t going to stop me from
going.In the end we decided between Dunedin or Auckland and we
ended on agreeing on going to  Auckland which I was still very
happy about. Luckily I had been saving up enough money to pay for
me to go, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to go.

I'm Just so excited we are going to be doing so many cool things
there like the zoo,cat cafe,Motat museum thing,Rainbows End,
and going to Rangitoto island and Devonport and of course we
get to catch up with family while we are up there.But  best of all
we get free accommodation because we are staying with someone
and she has two dogs! And also how could I forget the ED SHEERAN CONCERT!!!!

I think i'm going to leave this entry Here but I am so
excited and I will be writing more entries each day bye.
