Rose's+Uk+Adventure

=﻿﻿This page will follow my journey to the UK and back again. It will be used as my blog to all the students who wish to follow. = =Hey Rose!! OMG!!!You've been gone for ages!!! and I am just WAITING 'till you come backed!! I just painted my toenails because I've been totally craving it since last weekend and so I painted my toenails with the first colour I could find!! Do you like heaters 'cause I do 'cause they are super duper warm and they are like ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <--- that's the heatness stuff (I just had a mind blank and why am talking 'bout heaters I just said something totally random!!). ITS FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M FREE FOR TWO DAYS!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!! =D !!! I'm also realllllllllllllly excited 'cause it's my cousin's 21st birthday tomorrow and it's a storybook theme and I'm dressing up as little red riding hood and I hired a AWESUM AS CLOAK AND DRESS!!!!!!!!! I'm going to have my hair in pigtails!! And please get back on Monday 'cause I really miss you (and right now my dog, Dakota, is sitting next to me snoring like a motorbike!) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -JoJo. This comment was made on Friday 5th August 2011 at 9:40pm. = I very much doubt that GRRRR is the most common thing I say. It's probably 'a' or 'I' or 'Rose!!!'. I've been singing Why me in the car a lot and have been thinking about performing at Sheppard assembly. I'm not sure yet. I get on the plane today at 9 pm on a Tuesday. But for you guys that will be 8 am on a Wednesday. I get back home on Thursday. Did you know that for me Wednesday the 3rd of August 2011 doesn't happen!!! It disappears of the face of the universe!!! It is my Mum's birthday today. I have over 800 photos to show you and I have no idea whether I get to show you in class or in a movie thing. I have to make a movie!!! I have to choose a variety of music for the happy arrival, the LONG car journeys, the meeting and greeting and the sad farewells (tear). My tear ducts haven't been working recently, so why are they starting now??? Oh well, I miss my own bed, house and most Importantly, PETS! (and friends!!)!!! Hopefully my plane TV doesn't break for like 9 HOURS! Ridiculous! And after it broke, a programme came on without me doing anything. I had a feeling it wasn't a programme that I should be watching so I frantically pressed random buttons and it froze! My remote broke first and then TV! Luckily it froze on an age appropriate part!! It was never fixed. My sisters broke twice. And they were in different seats!!!! There is some awesome games on it. But never again am I watching Ratatoullie! (Is that how it is spelt?). Okay, 11 hours till flight, 7 hours till I leave the building, 35 hours till I get home and 5 days and 35 hours till I get back to school. I think!!! From Rose

Hey Rose! Thanks for telling me about that song "Why me?" Why haven't I heard it before?! I used to be in choir and now I'm in scenery, SO I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR THAT SONG!!! Anyways, it was the first day of school but it felt like the 1000th day!! >=|!! I hope you come back SUPER EARLY and magically teleport back to your house so you can come to school tomorrow!! School is really boring without you... Right now I am eating the leftover crumbs from my Mum's awesome slice thingy she makes, It is sooo awesome. JoJo is right, that movie called Ramona and Beezus is an awesome movie. (I watched it with her.) Selena Gomez is Beezus, WHO WOULD NAME THEIR CHILD BEEZUS?!?! I AM TRULY SORRY FOR YOU BEEZUS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A REALLY BAD NAME!! We did do an Otago Maths while you were gone (I think) but nothing to worry about because Mrs Slee would give you the Otago Maths. Speaking of Mrs Slee she asked us if you were ok because she wasn't on your blog for awhile. (Isn't that soo nice?!) Sarah was away with a really bad cold on week 11 and the holidays, poor Sarah... (She is better now and came to school today.) For some reason I have written alot, well I haven't been on since the last day of Term 2.

Hey Rose!!! First day of term today and I lay in bed for 15 mins in the morning which wasn't because I was tired! It was because my bed is so warm and when I get out it is so NOT!!!!! And I actually do that every morning!!!!!! And Rose, if you have jet lag for 4 days then you'd be back to school on the 9th but don't you dare wait more than four days!!! Shake off that jet lag and come back to school so I can give you the BIGGEST HUG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We all miss you and today it didn't really feel like the first day of the term! Well in the morning before school it did! Man! You've been away for like AGES!!!!!!!! Well you were touring the UK but STILL!!!!!! It's my stepbro's bday tomorrow and I don't know why I mentioned?!?!?!?!? Hope we see you soon!!!! - JoJo. This comment was made on Monday 1st August 2011 at 4:30pm.

To bad Jojo! I am most definetely writing lyrics too! I get on the plane in 3 days and return to NZ in 5! I think I either am coming back to school on the 5th of August or the 8th because when we arrived we had Jetlag for 4 days. I really am looking forward to coming back but I also want to stay. It confuses my head (not my brain). I have become obessed with a game called chuzzle! It's so random!!!! Today we've been slobbing around moaning for chocolate!!! We have still been watching cricket! My favourite players are Stuart Broad, Alastair Cook, Graeme Swann and Kevin Pietersen. Only 1 more game to win in the test match before England are best at Test Cricket and Twenty 20 cricket out of the entire world!!!! Have y6ou guys done any tests scince I have been gone? Like Otago Maths?!?!?! BTW you guys will have to teach me the Aladdin dances that I am in!!!! Can't wait to see you all again! From Rose

Hey Rose! How is England?!?!?!?!?! And when are you going to comment again?!?!?!?!? We miss you!!!!!!!! In the last 4 days I have watched 3 movies!!!!!!! I have watched a movie called Ramona and Beezus which stars Joey King and... Selena Gomez!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a really nice movie so I watched it twice. I also watched I am number four which is an awesome movie!!!!!!!!!! The last movie I watched The sorcerer's apprentice which has the same girl in it that is in I am number four. So as you can see I have been very slobby this holidays and I am not ashamed! 'Cause I bet that many of you (not Rose, definetly) did the same as me! Slob around all holidays and do the tiniest amount of anything outside or out of the house. Miss you Rose and hope you are having a great time ( and I bet you are!) - JoJo. This comment was made on Friday 29th July at 9:26 pm.

Man, Rose!!! I __SAID__ to write the music NOT the lyrics GOSH!!!! LISTEN or READ!!!!! The holidays have been super slobby so far (just the way I like it!!). Anywaysnesss Whats happening over there Rose besides the large amount of riding rides? how is deal or no deal better?!?!!?!? All it is is pick a box!!! OH NO!! the cars gone!! yes!!!the $1 is off the table!!! How does it get any better than that?!?!?! (sarcastic tone) AND!!! the coffee news is awesome by the way Sera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Rose do you kinda make up facts without actually knowing they're true like with the theme park rides 'cause I do that aswell. I usuallly make things up when I'm talking to my mum and then she says "YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE ?!?!?!!?". Also now I'm obessed with FLUFFY DRESSING GOWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have one on right now as I am typing this message to you and there is a slight drizzle outside but I don't mind because of FLUFFYNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I love fluffy blankets because they're FLUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm going swimming this afternoon!!! I know I'm crazy going swimming in the middle of winter but I'm going to the rec centre so it's inside!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm really interested about drawing random penguins off club penguin. Strange right? ?But it is actually really fun!!!!!! So far I've drawn so random boy penguin and the sensei and now I'm working on this girl wearing a strange winter coat with "bunny ears" on it.The best part is at the end where you get to draw in all the shadows to make it look just a tiny bit 3D!!! Well that's all I have to say except for one more thing for Rose WRITE A SONG (WITHOUT LYRICS)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - JoJo.

My Grandparents are dead, and it is sorta about them. That is why it is dead people!!! Rose

Your welcome Rose. I can't wait until I see HP 7 part 2, it sounds incredibly awesome! And why did you have to get the donuts? As for the song, anything really, but why dead people of all things. Deal or no Deal, better in what way? I guess that black tie event isn't very appealing to you. Grin and bear it Rose. Sera

I just saw HP Deathly Hallows P2 an hour ago! It was awesome. (I won't say ﻿ anything for you people who haven't seen it!!!! I went to Thorpe Park yesterday and went on the highest and fastest (I think) ride in Europe!!!! I went on 8 rides! Stealth (the quick and high one), the SAW ride, Storm in A Tea cup, Storm Surge, Nemesis Inferno, Colosis (has most loops in the entire world!!Heads get bashed around a lot though! :, Rush and Rumba Rapids. My father and family ( I didn't go on because I had to get dounuts) went on a ride called 'Tidal Wave' and the wave was about 12 metres high and stretched for about 24 metres. When you go on you get absolutely soaked and my dad forgot to puty the hood of his waterproof thing on!!!! He was soaked. My favourites were Nemisis Inferno and Stealth. Thanks Sera, for the luck!!! My mother just got my a coral and sterling silver bracelet for the event! And, Jojo, A SONG ABOUT WHAT? They have singing systems and mics where we are staying so I will get starting. I have a chorus. I won't tell you how it goes but it has something to do with dead people. Not in a weird way. From Rose. PS- NZ DEAL OR NO DEAL IS WAY BETTER!

Yes, I know your'e a dancer Jojo. At least you haven't heard me sing it yet. I'm jealous of all you guys who have to seen Harry Potter 7 part 2. I still have to wait a few days. Humph. Jojo, you read the coffee news?! Sorry. Rose, you should sooooo write a song. I bet it would be good. have fun at that black tie event thing. Sera Hey Rose! Sorry I haven't been on your blog in ages!! I was at my dad's place all we and he doesn't allow us on the computer let alone the internet!! and Sera I'm a dancer, I have a disc!!!!!!!!! I went to see the last Harry Potter as well and then I saw it again with my step brother. IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love fancy dress!! I wish I could come with you Rose! and I'm not obsessed with plants I just read it in the coffee news. It's a fun fact!!! and also Rose I just wanted to say WRITE A SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - JoJo. This comment was made on Sunday 24th July 2011 at 5:55pm.

HI ROSE HOLIDAYS ARE SOOO BORING GOT NOTHING TO DO!!! SAW HARRY POTTER 7, 2 DAYS AGO IT IS AWESUUUM! HOWS IT GOIN?? lucas :) Yes, u are right. I am writing this on the middle Saturday of the holidays. Shanaya, it's my song. Jojo, when did you hear 'why me' anyway?? Rose, wearing a fancy dress is a good thing. How different is the British Deal or no Deal compared to NZ's version? Those 2 weeks will fly past and you'll feel like you're back in no time. Sera

It's in Aladdin, Shanaya! Population of plants? I can believe I come back in, like, 2 weeks now. So you guys must be around half way through your holidays. Is that right. Btw, you did spell pou pou right. Did they finish my part on my pou pou? Nest week I have to go to a black tie event. I have to wear my fancy dress. I'm not sure if it is a good or bad thing. I'm watching the British version of Deal or no Deal ==== ﻿Hey Rose!! It's music term next term and you will probably have to play loads of guitar. Hopefully I don't have to because I am SUPER BAD!! (At playing guitar.) You eat sandwiches?!? No one would EVER get me near a sandwich, IF YOU DO YOU SHALL FEEL MY WRATH!! Anyways, the holidays are really boring. I can't believe our group got to finish our pou pou (is that how you spell "pou pou"? I'm asking you because you are good at spelling.) Your pou pou (?) looks GREAT and AWESOMELY AWESOME!! Has JoJo become suddenly interested in the population of plants?! And no, JoJo you do not have to worry about my bird eating your mushrooms. (HAHA!! Thats what she thinks, my bird has a liking of mushrooms with smiley faces on them!! MWHAHAHA!!) Bye Rose! ====

P.S. WHAT IS THE WHY ME SONG?!?!
Hello. I am back in Southampton today and tomorrow will be exactly 3 weeks since I got off of the plane. It will be 2 weeks until I return. I have just come back from Wales around two hours ago. This holiday so far we have done over 2,600 miles! That's exactly 4184.2944 km! I now have unlimited computer access so enjoy typing to me. This is all for now. Bye bye. (Rose sent this ;))

I sing ' WHY ME?' Jojo! Thanks for making me feel even better about it. :( Anyway, Rose. Me don't want a sandwich either! sorry had an urge to say that. The holidays only just started and I'm bored already. Humph. But you won't be bored at all cause your doing fun stuff in the UK! lucky. can't wait to see you, Sera

Hey Rose! How's the UK?!?!?! IS IT AWESOME!!! I wanted to say that when you go to London you NEED to go see the Kew Gardens!!! It is home to examples of 98% of the world's plants!!!! It boasts 33,400 classes of living plants and a herbarium of dried plants with 7 million species!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I'm going to keep nagging you about writing a song until you tell me that you do so... WRITE A SONG!! WRITE A SONG!!!! WRITE A SONG!!!!!!!!! (without lyrics just music part) Hope you are having a great time and please stop "punning". The why me song in Aladdin is super funny!! Its like "WHY ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!and it sounds strange.... Keep having a great time and stick to the wraps!!! No sandwhiches for you!! -JoJo. This comment was made on Saturday 16th July 2011 at 4:38pm.

Hey Rose! SCHOOL OUT!! dun na na na na na na na na na!! And Rose kiwis are AWESOME TO THE MAX!!!! But I have nothing against English people or any other people for that matter of fact! I can't wait to see your stuff from Ireland and pretty please don't bring me back a sandwhich! URGHH!! And this Rose - Lucas fued is SUPER FUNNY but yes I do agree that a Portsmouth Rose would be super wierd! I would also like to remind you that it is music term next term so pick up that guitar and start playing some melodies and stuff ( I can supply lyrics!!) Also at my old school when your a year 6 you get to go to a very formal "year 6 dinner" and both my friends had their brothers and parents going so they came over to my house and we went to McDonalds and one of my friends got trapped in a McDonalds bathroom and my mum had to bust down the door 'cause my friend couldn't undo the lock (now she is kinda claustrophobic). Any way we all misss you and you need to get a laptop so you can carry it around and comment more often! Miss you Rosie!! -JoJo. This comment was made on Friday 15th July 2011 at 9:05pm. Hey Rose! that sounds amazing and scary and fun and disgusting all at the same time! Yes there was an earthquake in Auckland but we did not feel it. You will need to learn a few Aladdin dances but otherwise you should be fine. Is it honestly possible to have a sandwich that tastes that bad??? I don't believe it. Lucas, leave Rose alone! So about Buckingham Palace, was it awesome? I'm interested now. Please bring a photo to show me if you can :) Keep having fun and rescuing your sisters out of toilets (kidding!). See ya soon, Sera

Right now I am in Dublin, sitting at a pay computer. Stop mocking me Lucas, it's never going to be funny. Tomorrow I go to Kilkee and then somewhere else. I can't wait to go back to Southampton to refresh myself of Portsmouthness and get back to my old Southamton self. I really miss you guys (except Lucas GRRRR). I can't express how mad I am. I come back in 2 weeks and 6 days. I really want to get all these hugs from you guys so don't disappoint me! Has there really been earthquakes in Auckland. It's scaring me just thinking about Christchurch earthquakes becoming Auckland earthquakes. I have just been to the Guinness Factory. AWESOME! I got a free soda! I have now purchased the coolest scottish bag and the coolest purse from Ireland. I can't wait for Jojo to see them! I hope (pun) that you guys will be able to tell me everything that I missed and are prepared to see millions of photos of my adventures and hear the stories. My sister got trapped in a toilet and we had to kick the door down. She was in there for an hour. I was in there stuck for 3 minutes and cut my hand out of frustration on the handle. Not much but it stung. Some people haven't said anything to me and I'm assuming they are glad I have gone. Just reminding you that this is only temporary and I will ask you people questions about what I missed. I guess I am like a teacher in some ways. I hope (pun) that you will start commenting more and more. I have to keep putting in change every 7 minutes. It cost 1 euro for 8 minutes which is around $2 for 8 minutes. Every so often I wonder what time it is there in Kiwiland. I guess I am slowly becoming....... a KIWI! Oh no (no offence, guys!!)! I made dinner tonight. Oh, and by the way, Lucas, my father has recently purchased an Irish Saints badge (wasn't any Pompey ones :P). I went to Inverness, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Fort Augustus. I ate the most DISGUSTING sandwich of my life. It was really just that bad. Think of eating a soggy, mouldy shoe and multiply the horrible taste by 1000 and then you will be a 1/6 of the way to the taste. I hope to comment more, Rose..... = = = Yesss! Just getting ready for the last day of term! Can't wait for the hols! Where are you now everyone wants to know! Keep having a great time! LUCAS = = = Hey Rose!! The end of the term is tomorrow and I think everyone is really tired and just WAITING!! Major production is going well and I'm sure that when you come back there will be some catching up to do!! But don't worry about that, just enjoy your trip. If you go to Ireland can you please drink a pint of Irish whiskey!!!! ( kidding!!) I hope you're having fun and please post soon!! We miss you Rose!! - JoJo. This comment was made on Thursday 14th July 2011 at 7:05pm.

Hey Rose!! Today room 31 performed some Shakespeare plays with a modern twist on them. Some were modern and some were out right crazy. We had Romeo and Juliet in modern time (kinda), Romeo and Juliet with hippies and emos ,The Twelfth Night, Macbeth in Afghanistan and Macbeth ON MARS?!?!?! But the plays were really good and fun. Macbeth on Mars was super funny, MARTIANS ARE SUPER FUNNY AND AWESOME!!!!!!!!! The book fair is at school and every one likes the kitty cat poster!! LOL!! There are also pens and rubbers. Shanaya and I bought some rubbers. THEY ARE SUPER CUTE!!!! I got some mushrooms and Shanaya got a bird ( I've got to watch my back, I think Shanaya's bird is going to eat my mushrooms....) Please post soon because we all need to hear about you and your awesome adventure!!! and Lucas is mocking you (MWAH HA HA HA is probably what he is thinking) Miss you Rosie!!!! - JoJo. This comment was made on Wednesday 13th July 2011 at 8:05pm.

YEAAAH GO LUCAS! FROM LUCAS

Sorry I haven't been posting recently as I have no computer access. The tarantula was 19 grams. You would expect it to be really heavy, but it isn't. I went to the tower thing in Portsmouth. My sister thinks it is cleaner than Southampton. You won there, Lucas. From Rose ......

Hi Rose I'm really sorry I haven't visted your page in a while :( . School's been so crazy and it is nearing the end of the term!! I just finished my inquiry today and just in time too ( HOW DID YOU FINISH YOURS SO EARLY?!?!?!?!?!?) . It has been weird not hearing your voice everyday :( !!! A while ago we did some 'I'm Sorry' poems and they were really fun!! It is where you have to write a bunch of things you're sorry for and make them ryhme ( did I spell ryhme right!?!?!). You should try and write one!!! I bet it will be really LONG ( kidding!!). Red day was fun and the catwalk was just out of my reach ( ARRGH!!!) but it was a super fun day but I bet you're having more fun TOURING THE WORLD!!!!! You have to keep me updated and tell me everything when you get back because I've never been out of NZ (tear) and I have NO IDEA what the big wide world looks like!! Aladdin's been going awesome but I'm a dancer and all the dancers had to go show the dance for the opening song to the cast ( SUPER NERVE WRACKING!!) and it was really confusing 'cause we had to change a bunch of stuff so that we could fit in with the cast. I'm sorry you had to go to Portsmouth ( evil Lucas Must have somehow made you MWAH HA HA HA!!!!!) (( kidding!!)). I hope you are having fun and I miss you heaps and don't you dare get back late OR THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES!!!!!! ( I shall squeeze you to death) Miss you!!!!!! -JoJo. This comment was made on Monday 11th July 2011 at 5:58pm.

What was holding the Tarantula like? I feel sorry for you having to go to Portsmouth. Where are you going next and where are you now? Sera Haha I Knew you would go. I'm sure you loved it as well cos it is so da bom! Did you go to Gun Wharf? Keep havin fun! LUCAS No Emily, the Royals did not come out. Why would they???!!!!! Rosie. Ps.I'M GOING TO HOLD A TARANTULA TODAY!!!!!! EKKKKK! PPS. (I went to Porstmouth yesterday :(.... My sister loved it) HEY ROSE!!! Remember to yell to my friend's cuzzie in Wales!!! I really miss ya and when u were at Buckingham Palace did u see Catherine and The Queen and William(and the other Royals!) Your science fair was really cool- my big sis says she saw yours, ( and all of the other Room 33 finalists) at school the other day.  Hope you're having fun!!  EMILY  Hey Rose!  It's Sera here. We miss you soooo much! It's different without you. I hope you're having an AWESOME time over-seas. School has been pretty busy and you'r e going to miss me and Amber-Lee in assembly tomorow (7th of July). I'll be thinking of you when I play though. So, Buckingham Palace. Was it huge or bigger than huge? Sorry. I've always wanted to see Buckingham Palace. Well, can't wait until you're back, but enjoy yourself! :) Sera

//** You haven't really missed anything except today (5th of July), we had another session with Mrs Griffin. We're almost done with ours-we just have to paint the parts that haven't been covered in paper and finish the arms and the face. Muffti tomorrow -yay!! and on Friday we have a red day where we have to come to school in red!!! yay!!! Anyway, I hope you're having A LOT!!! of fun and I will see you next term! :) **// =====

//** Alex **//
Monday 4th of July 2011 I can't believe I won Science Fair (I didn't think I would have won)! On Saturday I vistied London and Buckingham Palace. I saw the changing of the guards and went to the english Chinatown. I can't believe how many people have commented (and how many forgot their name ;)). I'm sorry that I haven't been posting recently, but I have been so caught up with my cousins and relations. I have just found out that I will be going to Portsmouth sometime as my aunty and cousin live there. Grrr. My mum was alright on the plane and held herself together very well. I'm proud of her. Yesterday, my family and I played a large cricket game. I decided my cousin Dan was my favourite sister, which doesn't make any sense as he is a boy and is my cousin. He might take me to hold a large tarantula,which makes me nervous because I am horrified of spiders. On Thursday, I'm going to Wales and Ireland and on 'Mick's (my dad) mystery tour!' (If you're smart, you wouldn't trust him!). When we get back from that tour on the 18 of July, I am going to go to Thorpe Park and possibly another theme park. They are both larger than Rainbow's End and have a larger selection of rides. I also think I am heading to Scotland and the Lake District soon. Bye bye. Rose = Hey Rose !! = = Can't wait till you come back. = = School is kinda awkward without you.. = = Anyways, I hope you're having a lot of fun ! = = -Shivani :) xoxo =

Hi Rose, it's Lucas. Yesterday was a lot of fun and you missed out on hot chips and soft drink!!! Mrs Rivers Smith is gone but it was fun- you should've been there! Best of luck and have lots of fun!

**Hi Rose, Jamie here** **Last year I went on a trip around the world too !** **It was really fun I hope you have the same experience and enjoy it too.** **P.S. Keep safe.** **P.P.S. If you go to France try the Frogs legs and Snails- they are delicious**

I miss you Rose!!! :) Keep having fun :) = Hi Rose,u r so awesome:):):).I miss u:(,Hope(pun) u have a great trip.See ya = = Izzy = = Go Rose! It is such a shame that you weren't at the Science Fair. You got first place and Matthew also got first for his model and Ben K got a Merit for his! Not looking forward to today. Mrs Rivers-Smith leaves today- it is a very sad day! From when I'm typing this now, you will be arriving in about 1hr 30mins! So have fun and be cool! LUCAS =

**CONGRATULATIONS Rose. It's Thursday evening and I have just been to the Franklin Science Fair and your investigation won 1st place!!!** **I am very proud of you and all the other students who won prizes and certificates. I hope you are having a lovely time and that the weather is nice and hot.** **Mrs Slee**

=** Hey Rose! **= =** I miss u sssooooooo much already!!!

==== Hi Rose!!! School has been great ( but not as great without you!!!) and I'm still as crazy as ever ( and I hope (( another pun!!)) you are too!!). Mrs River-Smith is leaving tomorrow and we are all super sad!!! :( . So I hope ( I'm super punny!!) you are having an AWESOME time in the UK and I hope (I'm just PUNTASTIC!!) that you will keep us all updated and in memory of me please do a NGAHH!!! every once and a while. Please reply back to me because I will be checking in here almost every day (not weekends). Also school is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO weird without you!!!! I mean like school is always weird but it is even weirder without you!!! I also just wanted to say that your play was THE AWESOMEST PLAY IN THE HISTORY OF AWESOME PLAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One last thing, I think that Lucas should STOP pestering you about Portsmouth!! I hope (I just don't stop punning!! Do I!)that you never have to go to your enemy place, EVER!!! I miss you :( and I think every one else does too. Thinking of you too, JoJo!!!!!!! :) This comment was made on Thursday 30th June at 5:30pm. ====

==== OMG!! Rose- you just missed this awesome video that Dr. Pope showed us in the multimedia room!! If you search on Google, just type in "PVC instrument" and click on the first option it gives you. IT"S AWESOME!! If you are going to Ireland, can you get me something (small), please? Jealous face because you are going to Ireland, HAHA!!! Just kidding. HAVE A NICE L-O-N-G TRIP!!! Shanaya. **=:'** ====

 * Hi Rose! It's Ayla. How r u? Hope ur having fun in England! **

Wednesday the 29th of June 5.58pm 1 and a half hours!!!!!!!!!! (Never going to Portsmouth). Just had dinner. I am so tired and I'm not allowed to sleep because I need to sleep on the plane. My mother is barely talking. My bags were packed within 1 hour of getting home. Crazy, right? Sarah, I hope (pun) you're reading this; I'm taking your paper crane to England (It's the Japanese symbol of good luck). 2 people (Thanks Lucas and Izzy) have visited my page. Yay! I knew Izzy would. Yes, Lucas, I will have fun. I hope (pun)! Tell me what is happening at school please! And tell me how Aladdin is going! I WANT to know! (1 hour and 26 minutes) Yay! See ya! (My next blog will hopefully (pun) be coming from England!!!!!!!!) Comment! :)

Wednesday the 29th of June 2.19 pm. I am leaving tonight at 11.40 pm and the nerves are building up. I can't wait to get there. It's been so long since I've been to England. However, it will be nice to relax on the plane, watch T.V., sleep or do my homework (maybe not). I'm shivering so much I think I might have an epileptic fit..... ouch. Still, I haven't packed. I've got everything ready in a big pile (more like mountain) on my bed. I am so unorganized. Hope says hi (she's right here, looking as I type, smiling at this right now). All those reading this or thinking of posting a message, please choose a colour so I can tell the difference between my blog and your messages. Please write your name as well otherwise I will not have a clue who you are. I would also like you to keep this page tidy. Thank you. Wow, this is possibly my last blog in NZ. P.S. Olivia, I hope I can get you your carrot. Hopefully.

Sunday the 26th of June, 4.53 pm. 3 days till I prepare for boarding the plane and I haven't packed a thing! I don't even have the things I need washed yet! Nor a bag to carry them..... but I will power through tomorrow, packing like no girl has ever packed before! I'm actually getting really excited because it has been 6 years since I've been on a plane! Oh, also, feel free to edit this page and type back to me! I really would like to keep in touch with all my classmates, but, don't use the discussion page, delete people's comments or delete my blogs. Anything you guys want like pictures or sweets (Izzy.....) I hope I can get for you guys. And don't worry Hope, I'll get you a gift (maybe). Thank-you Mrs Rivers-smith, I won't be here to say good-bye, but I am now. This is a short blog, but, who said it has to be long?!
