Canoeing in Fiji

It was a hot sunny day. We were getting into the canoes because we were going to go canoeing.I was in a canoe with my Aunty Viv and my cousin, Sam. I felt mixed with nervousness and excitement.
When we pushed off, Aunty Viv picked up the oars and started to push them through the clear shimmering water. It looked easy but she told me it was not as easy as it looked.
While Aunty Viv was busy rowing with the oars, Sam and I were looking over the edge to see if we could spot any fish.
As soon as we looked over, we saw schools of colourful fish swimming through the swaying seaweed.
Suddenly, something cold touched my back, so I turned around and I saw Charlotte, Rogen and Dad smiling away.
I scooped some water into my hands and I flung it at them. It went flying at them so they tried to dodge but they did it clumsily and made the canoe rock so they all fell over the edge into the water. Sam and I laughed until we cried.
After that, we all went back to the island. I really hope we do it again sometime, I thought to myself.

Vomo Island

It was a warm sunny day we were nearly at the Island called Vomo Island. I was so excited to see my cousins because I hadn’t seen them in ages.

As we approached Vomo Island, we slowed down the shimmering and sparkling water spread all around the boat and lapped against the sparkling sand. “It looks so pretty.” I told Mum.

After that, we had to walk a little way to get to the van. The van was grey with a red stripe going down the middle of it. We all piled in and, when we were all buckled up, the driver of the van started it up. While I was waiting, I looked out the window and I saw huge trees surrounded by bushes, covered in beautiful flowers of all colours.

When the van stopped and we were out of it, there were quite a lot of people all singing a welcome song in their own language. All of them welcomed us and gave us some different coloured fruit drinks. Our cousins and our aunty and uncle, who had also been singing the welcome song, welcomed us with big hugs, I told them “It’s so good to see you again.”

Samantha gave me a little pink alarm clock and a different coloured bracelet that she had made for me herself. I was very pleased. I gave her a necklace that I had made myself and she smiled at me so I smiled at her. I was as happy as a honey bee with enough honey to last a lifetime.

The Doctors

On Sunday, I had to go to the doctors because the jewel on my earring had gone inside my earlobe.

Fifteen minutes before we started driving to the doctors, Mum put some numbing cream on my ear so that it wouldn’t hurt when the doctor pulled it out. Paige got to come with me to the doctors to keep me company. I felt quite calm but, as we got nearer, I started to feel nervous.
When we got to the doctors, I felt even more nervous than I was before because I was sure it was going to hurt. We had to wait a couple of minutes before it was our turn.
When we went into the room, we met a nurse and her name was Bridget. She was very lovely and kind to me and gave me and Paige a lollipop each. I found out that I had to get a numbing needle in my ear. When the needle went in my ear, it stung so I screamed. ‘Get it out! Get it out!”
Next, the doctor had to pull off the butterfly with the special tweezers. I didn't like the look of them because they looked like scissors. The doctor said it wouldn't hurt so I lay down nervously and waited. When he was pulling it off, I screamed. When the butterfly was off, I sat up and hugged my mum.
Afterwards, the doctor said I had lie down again but I wouldn’t because I knew it would hurt even though the doctor said it wouldn’t. In the end, the doctor said that, if it hurt, he would buy me McDonalds. I lay down nervously after he said that. He used the same tweezers that he had used before. I screamed and kicked because it really hurt.
The doctor now owes me Macdonalds Yay! Paige told me a few jokes which made me smile. I was so proud of myself
