Writing - Year 8 Leavers Mass

On Friday 9th of December, we year 8 had a special day. The mass started with an amazing song that the year 8 had grown up with.

During the mass, we processed up from the back with our  lights. We went to the front and did a dance.

At the end of the mass, we celebrated by having  little free time and also watch a movie.  We had a such an amazing  day with the whole school and our parents. 

My Memorable Story

Highlight

My highlight of the camp was orienteering. Orienteering was one of my favourite parts. WHY did I choose that? This is because everyone  in my group worked together even if we were angry at one other teammate. I enjoyed playing orienteering with my group because we did it quick. We were the fastest group to finish.

Technology

My experience at Selwyn College has been awesome. I really enjoy making food at Selwyn College. We made lots of different foods.

It has been a good term. I appreciate that Mr Smith has taught us so many things.  This is a photo of me,Leka and Ana- lei drinking our 'otai. It was nice to taste what we had made.

Kiwi sports

Our kiwi sports this term is Golf. Yesterday we had an expert that  came to our school called Campbell. He was teaching us how to stand in a golf position. First, we play rolling the ball  into the target, and if you get 3 of the ball into the target then you have to call out SNAG. Second, of all, we had to try to roll the ball to hit the flag.

Night Market!

On Saturday the 24th we went night market. There were lots of people were walking around. We can't even get through to go and look around. It was packed that we cannot go through. 

So I decide to go back and stay in the car, but my two cousins were telling me to just stay. So I stayed, and I was sitting on the chair, while they are trying to get through to the other corner to buy food. I was getting bored sitting there by myself. 

My stomach was making  the sound. I decided to look for my cousins  and I saw them waving at me on the other side. I was shouting at them to hurry up and buy the food because I was hungry. But they ignored me, and they kept walking. Then meanwhile they came  with nothing, I asked them  "WHERE IS THE FOOD?". They both said, "THE FOOD WAS YUCK so we didn't buy it".  Then we all ended up eating Macdonalds.

Tongan Languages week.

Yesterday the 8th our whole school celebrate Tongan Languages week in the hall. Kids were so excited to taste some of the Tongan food. We had a big kai yesterday at the hall. It was so Yummy I enjoy myself eating my culture's food.

What does it like to be Tongan

Being a Tongan is sometimes is a really hard thing because, when I wanna watch T.V and my brother, cousin or uncle is watching tv, I either have to wait or do something else.

I am proud to be a Tongan person because we wear puletaha and kiekie. I respect people wherever  I go. My family supported me, even though I sometimes gets into trouble at school but  they  still supported me.                                                               

Narrative Writing.

Learn : To use good sentences in my writing. 
A good sentence has a subject and a verb. 
I am learning to use 3 types of sentences,which are simple sentence, compound and also complex sentence. 

I woke up one morning and I heard someone calling, “where is my food”..

I thought it was someone from my next door neighbours. I ignored the call.
The call came again and it was from the kitchen. I went to check. I thought it was my grandpa. BUT, to my horror, it was Pinky, my dog. I was so scared to touch her. I stared at her and wondered what has happened. Is it a magic.

I was so confused.
“Hurry up and get my food”... , she said to me. I went and got her food. She started to eat, ignoring me.

“This is so nice, you should buy this everyday for me”, Pinky said.
I did not say anything, I just watched her.
In a blink, she started to bark again.

WHAT A MOMENT FOR A DOG TO TALK.

Cross Country

Yesterday the 11th we had cross country practice. It was tiring, because we had to run 2 laps. My legs was sore, so I decide to walk,but when I walk, it became worse. 

I saw lots of children running fast, and they were on there last lap. In my mind was like I wish I was skinny, so I can run faster.  I got to the end, I was happy  because it was my last round. But I still have to run to the other side, But it was along way to go to the other side. I walk the whole way, and when i was nearly there I run, because it nearly at the end.

My Everyday Show

CYBERBULLYING!!

“What does Cyberbullying mean?” stated Constable Gordon. Today we had Constable Gordon who is a Policeman, he came in and explained to us about Cyberbully. I learnt that if someone said mean thing to you don’t reply back to them. Because if you keep  replying to them  they will keep saying mean messages to you. Then he reminded us to be smart online. Everything we do online, for example sending stupid messages online, it will never be deleted, it goes straight to their service and they will see it. !REMEMBER USE SOCIAL MEDIA WISELY!

A Difficult Night!

A Difficult Night

In the night I was singing and humming while watching the sunset. I decided to sing a song to try and annoy her. When I started to sing, I swayed side to side and also humming while the creatures start to appear. My Cousin was furious and....

shouted “SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, do you mind, I am trying to sleep here “

I took my ukulele and started to strum and finishing off my song. I went to my cousin holding my untuned ukulele, but then out of nowhere she took my ukulele,I thought she was going to sing a song for me, but then unfortunately she decided to chuck my ukulele into the bonfire that she finished making. I stood there like an unhappy person, I was angry but at the same time I felt sad.

I stood there wondering if she was going to get up and apologize to me for chucking my ukulele, but guess what she carried on sleeping. Another thing that I was wondering about was my precious Ukulele, I was wondering at how much it cost, it took half of my pocketmoney to buy. “ I WAS AN UNHAPPY GIRL “
