School Holidays


The first week of the holidays, I woke up in a happy mood. Even though my holidays was early. I wanted to come back to school. I stayed at my nanas for the holidays.  

There was a lot of things that happened in my holidays. I also learn some things in those two weeks. I learned about the first mobile phone and who invented them. I also learned about what is Herbalife and found facts about nutritious food. It gets better. Keep reading and you’ll find out.

I watched What Now on Sunday. Gem showed a picture of a girl named Helen Wright who made a dress out of loom bands. Instead of keeping the loom band dress, she sold the dress for $170,100 on eBay. I thought to myself, you can even buy a house with that much money. So that inspired me to create something with rainbow loom bands for the first week of my school holidays.

I sat down on my chair. Then I gathered all of my loom bands and placed them onto my desk. I drew a plan to see if any of my plans in my head could work before I start. My plan took longer than I thought. I had to do chores and help with housework. Finally I finished my plan. I have 3 ideas that can work.

I made a rainbow loom band ball. I thought it was outstanding. It could bounce. It took about 3 days for me to make the ball. Describing it, it’s really colourful and hard.  
The second thing that I made with loom bands is a chain necklace. It took me 2 day to make. The loom band chain necklace look’s like a real chain. It’s more softer and just made out of loom bands. I even made a rainbow loom band flower. By describing the loom band flower, it’s colourful. It only has 4 petals with a stamen. The petals are hard, but the stamen is mushy and hard in the middle.

In the second week of my school holiday, It was all about health. I learned about Herbalife and what it does to you. Also facts about nutritious food. My cousin and I sometimes walk or drive down to Total Nutrition as known as Herbalife. The Total Nutrition we go to is located at Station road, Otahuhu. We go to Total Nutrition on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We also have 24 fit challenge, it’s not only for adults. It’s also for kids. After 24 fit challenge we walk to the park.
My holidays was about mostly learning new things.
