My Highlight about my friends.

My highlights is going to be about My family and friends.

I love my family because they always take care of me and always look after me. I like how my whole family go to mission bay on new years and we all get together and have a BBQ. Also on Christmas all my family come to my house. We all open our present and then have a BBQ and play touch on the grass. My Mum is the best to me because she always makes sure I am aright and that I an’t sad.

My friends are cool to hang out with because mainly every day we always go out to the courts at lunch and morning tea time then play touch. When we play touch some year seven boys come in the game and play with us.  When I am in class my friends can be annoying sometimes because they always chat to me while I'm doing my work.

My teacher is Mrs Lagitupu and she is cool. I like my teacher because she is always kind and when my writing is wrong she helps me fix it up.  Also when it is maths time my maths group has to sit in the middle table and Mrs Lagitupu shows us different Strategies mainly each week. I hope I am in Mrs Lagitupus class next year! wink wink.

My Rap

V1: THE PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA WAS NELSON MANDELA

THE PRESIDENT OF USA IS MR.OBAMA

MANDELA FOUGHT HARD FOR EQUALITY AND FREEDOM

OBAMA WAS THE REALISATION OF LUTHER’S “I HAVE A DREAM                                                                                                        

MANDELA GOES TO JAIL FOR 27 LONG YEARS

OBAMA WANTS  TO KEEP IT FOR THE PEOPLE 2013 REAL

CH:Life wasn’t always easy, Pretty or even fair

Men ruled other nations based on fear

But we gotta change it and make it if it stand

Because together united we can try to understand

V2: Trying to change the world is what made MLK a hero

But he paid the ultimate price and lost his life oh no

Mandela became a president fighting for equality

He wanted to make the black and whites  come together in harmony.

AMERICA IN THE 60 was a place of discrimination

WITH LUTHER’S SPEECH CAME FREEDOM IN A TIME of degradation

MANDELA FOUGHT A SYSTEM THAT WAS BUILT ON RACISM.

OBAMA FOUGHT AN ENEMY WITH MANY FACES CALLED TERRORISM.

CH:Life wasn’t always easy, Pretty or even fair

Men ruled other nations based on fear

But we gotta change it and make it stand

Because together united we can try to understand

 

Cross Country!

As it was that time of the year where we had to do cross country.After Lunch everyone in school went to the courts and line up behind the chairs that has their age or year. When everyone was there Tainui,Mataatua,Takitimu and Te Arawa had to say there cheers one after the other. When they all did there cheers it was time to race also when it was our turn I had butterflies.

As I was at the starting line I got nervous and didn't really want to the run but I still did. First Mr Burt said “On your Mark so we had to feet together Get set go”. As we were running we had to run around the top of our school field then out of the gate to the reserve. I was coming 4th but I had a really bad as sketch so I slowed down. When I got to Mrs King I saw a big Mud puddle and it looked like an mud pool so Mrs King said to slide in it and I said “ No thanks I don’t want to Get dirty that much”.

I was racing the year 7’s and it was hard. The course we ran was we had to run around the hole point England school Reserve two time and also around the top field of our school. But the year 8s did it different to us that had to do zig zag around the reserve two time and also around the top field like year 7’s.

When I got to Mrs King I saw a big Mud puddle and it looked like an mud pool so Mrs King said to slide in it and I said “ No thanks I don’t want to Get dirty that much”. When I Got near Mrs Squire’s I saw a lot of big water paddles so I ran thru them and got wet. I don’t really like getting muddy just wet. I was on my second run and did the same thing I did on my first.

I was tired and couldn't really run properly and when I got to Mr Barks I saw my friend Grace on the ground crying and Mr Barks said “She has a really bad cramp and I ask if I could look after her and Mr Barks said “She fine you go and finish off your cross country run and go run thru the finish line it your last run” “Ok”. As I ran thru the finish line I felt happy and wanted to do it again.

As I finish it felt I like it was not long but as I was running I felt tired sick and exhausted. It was pretty fun and when I had an water I felt energetic and felt like running everywhere but I took photos of people running thru the finish line. Me and Jorja ran thru the finish line together. Grace would of came first but she had a cramp so Chloe came first.

My Reflection

Yellow Hat - The things I enjoyed?

I enjoyed drawing different kind of Samoan pattern and learning Samoan word’s from these patterns. The best part of creative strand is when we had to get a piece of wood draw your Samoan pattern and crave it with a carving knife

Black Hat - Which things didn't I like?

The things I didn't enjoy was drawing patterns because it was difficult. Also I didn't like how we had to miss out a day on Friday we had to write because people weren't been good.

Green Hat - What was something interesting about this week?

The most interesting thing this week was craving out our patterns because I have never craved before. Also when I was done and I had to paint my craving i thought it would of came out wrong but when I pull my wood off the paper it came out good.

White Hat - What did I learn?

Also the most interesting  thing I learnt was Samoan pattern word’s. I learnt how to crave and when you're craving you have to keep your hand that the back of the carving knife so you don’t cut or stab yourself.

All about Rock climbing!

Why is church Important?

Going to church is important to me because I learn about Jesus and God. When I go to church I see new family members walking into the church. I think it is good that people go to church because they would get to know God as they are growing up.

I love reading the bible because it tells me about everyone that was here before we came to life and also it told me why Jesus sacrificed his life for us. Jesus sacrificed his life for us because he wanted us to live and to see what God has done for us and our families.

When people go to church they go to a bible study class and learn about Jesus while their parents stay in the church. Their parents get  blessed. Some parents tell everyone about what has happened in their lives. The minister talks about Jesus and sometimes they have an play of what could happen to you and your family.

Start writing here:

           Once upon a time, in a bright, friendly modest house....there lived a little girl named, LITTLE RED. Quite often she wouldn’t listen to her parents. Several times, they try to get her to do the littlest thing. So, they’d always had  to bribe her with treats, in order to make her do something. But....

        ......one day her mother asked her to go out  and visit her grandmother. SHE lived a few blocks away in another  suburb called Riding Hood . Riding Hood was on the other side of the pine plantation and the quickest way was right through the pines.

          After moaning and groaning, Little Red took a little cheesecake from her mother and set off through the plantation. As she got closer and closer to her grandmother house, red came across something weird.

        A wolf appeared in the pines. Red panic having never to see a wolf before, wandering through the pines.  Red thought to herself thinking that the wolf might of escaped from the zoo.  She grabbed her phone out of her pocket and dialed the zoo number.

        She waited for someone to pick up,but nobody did. As fast as she could, she ran to the zoo. But as she was halfway there she remembered about her grandma. She ran quickly through the pines. “No,NO,NO.....I can’t die today!”

  She rushed back, straight through the pines, hoping to get there unharmed. Finally, she arrived at

HER GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE....

‘KNOCK, KNOCK’, tapped Little Red on the door,’Grandma, are you home.?’ Searching for the shadow of Grandma, Red came across something strange, weird in fact. A note on the fridge. ‘Hello, dear can you leave the cheesecake in the fridge, please dear.....Thank you’

Red, gazed at the note and suddenly said, “Thanks for nothing..”. She turned around to someone Hilary feet.
