At the Turangawaewae festival I worked at the kiwiana stall.  There was heaps of food. My friends and I went swimming.  Then I started watching Zumba.  After that I drank a melted container of ice cream.   Then I went on the bouncy castle which was fun as.  

The Turungawaewae festival is for different cultures to show off their swag.

THEATRE ROYAL
On the 15 of june we went to the theatre royal. We left school in the morning and went to Nelson. We went to our seats and it started. It was called the firework makers daughter. Its about a girl who wants to be a firework maker and her dad doesn't want her to. After the show finished we went tahunanui park and had lunch.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
TREASURE ISLAND
This story starts in the Admiral Benbow, an inn.  Jim  Hawkins (played by Quin) works there.  Billy Bones (played by Shanti) comes to stay.  He has a map.  He was once a pirate, a member of Captain Flint's crew.  He is visited by Black Dog(Stevie )who fights him.  Then the evil Blind Pew (Sasha ) comes and scares him to death.
Jim gets the map.  He gets the Goodies, Dr Livesey (Charlie ),  Mr Dance (Shannen ) and they hire a ship called the Hispaniola.  The captain is Captain Smollett (Makayla ) who gets Long John Silver (Madison ) to collect a crew.  Long John Silver is evil and one of Captain Flint's pirates.  He collects all the other pirates and away they sail.
On the trip Jim  hears of a plot to kill them.  When they get to the island the Goodies go to the stockade.  The baddies go in search of the treasure.  An old pirate called Ben Gunn (Zion ) who has been marooned, arrives and joins the goodies .
Jim takes off and sails the ship around the island.  The pirates have nowhere to go.  There's a big fight.  The pirates are winning until they hear Ben Gunn who they think is a ghost of Captain Flint.  Ben screams horribly..
They all run away and the goodies find the treasure and sail back to England.
My favourite part was when Quin played ukelele
My favourite character was Jim hawkins
The show as a whole was great
