On a normal school day we wake up in the morning we have a
shower, then we get into our uniform. We have our breakfast, Cereal,
toast , Milo & biscuits. Then we go to school: some people bike, some
people bus, some people get dropped off by their parents, some
walk, some skate-board to school. We start school at 8:30am - we
have 5 periods a day (one hour for each periods one). We have two
options & 4 compulsory subjects. We have interval at 10:35 and we
have lunch at 12:15 during lunch times we can go to the library or
the hall or to the Tu Tangata Room or elss we just walk around the
school.
We finish school at 3:15. After school is like free time. we don't go
straight home we go to sports training and Maori club and after all
that we go to the wharf the real name for it is called the marina. The
Marina is a bridge where every one goes to jump off into the river, for a swim.
When we finish our swim we wrap a towel around us and walk to the
bowl. The bowl is a place where every one goes Roller-blading and
skate-boarding. It's choice there! There is also a basketball court
there. Then we go home for tea for tea. We have boil-up or
casserole or roast and then we do our homework then go to bed!

On Sunday we don't wake up until late. (We call this sleeping in)
Then we go straight to the television and watch it. We watch it until
our stomachs start to rumble. Then we go get some breakfast for our
hunger strikes. Then we go straight back to the TV and eat it there.
We then decide that it is time to get some lunch. Then it's time to go
outside and get some fresh air before we have to do some work.
Time to do our homework that we desperately needed to do or go
and play with friends. By the time we've finished it's teatime and we
usually have takeaways. We eat them in front of the TV. Then we
watch it until we think it's just about time to go to bed. Then we have
a shower or bath. Then we go to bed.
