NETBOOK REFLECTION

dance fever

What an  exciting morning  for my class to have dance fever and to go back and polish all the dances. First we started doing the foxtrot with our pretty girl. It was an easy thing out of all of the dance.Next we went onto chacha  it was so cool to see mostly all the class join in. Lucky my partner told me the next move because I didn’t know the next move.

after that we  had a fun dance after that with the music gangnam style.

WEEKENDS

On Saturday me and my brother went to my uncle’s house because we were going to watch my cousin play rugby for Eastern. After that we went to watch David Tua’s replay fight in Hamilton.It was at 7,00pm. David Tua was knocked out because he was too old.He retired from boxing after he lost out on too many points.He should not have fought this last fight.We were laughing when Tua got knocked out.After watching David Tua’s Replay fight we  told our uncle if we could have Mac Donald for dinner and he said yes.

Next we went to mcdonald to buy our dinners and we went off home to have our dinners and my dad told me and my brother to go sleep and we did so my uncle came and tuck me and my brother into bed.
