Fiafia Night.

Well, to be honest I really wanted more time to practice the Tongan groups, Kailao. The Kailao is an war dance made from the warriors who fought against other's for their freedom. Let's talk about the dance now, The dance had took place On the field just where people play rugby and other sports, also we had an big Marki just that if it rains there would be a protection. The courts was where the audience and  all the other groups sat, they also had carpets so that it could be comfortable, plus there were food stands around the entrance.

As soon as the bell rang we all got to our changing room's, and the costume was a red hula skirt with a necklace kind of thing which was made out of leaves, they were special leaves because they were rare to find around NZ, we lastly wore a red fluffy string on our left side of our heads. When we had to leave we lastly done a Tongan prey so that our Tongan dance would be fierce and scary. As we walked out around the Audience we heard voices going "CHHHEEEHOOO GO TONGA!" around the corner. when we sat down I felt like I was next to an Iceberg and in side a fridge too. I said to my friend " Ghee aren't you cold" then he replied "Yeah, I,m a Tongan Warrior though", Then I laughed.

Watching all the other groups was awesome but I loved the Drumming at the end of the show, also the Kailao Of course. When we watched Bollywood then they rocked it, also when they played an old song I loved called "Jale Ho" sang from Nichole Schlesinger. When it was our turn I gave it all I had and I went 110 percent., my brother was the leader and also called all the word's. When we got to the middle I done a mistake and dropped my spear and I picked it up and kept on going till it was finished.

Looking back at that day I was really Impressed with all the groups, also our one. Thanks for reading!

A Brief reflection On Term 1

I think I’ve achieved being a good student and that I must still focus on my behaviour and attitude when it comes down to learning and listening to the teacher. I have achieved doing my work when I have time to and also when its the time when we read our book’s.

Next term I must still need to focus on being a helpful, wise, intelligent and also work on my behaviour in class. I must still focus on my learning and my listening, I also have to finish my work in class instead of staying in class and finishing my work.

I think that this Term has been an awesome opportunity to see new people, see who our teachers would be, also to have a fresh start and become an good boy in my Class. I think the best thing this term was going tech, this would be good and would help us in the future.

Next term Im looking forward to meeting new kids and focus on my behaviour also to be a better person writer, reader and math Kid. Also to be in the PEPA Rap group like last year and to verse other schools for rugby and other sport’s.

Camp Argument, Xavier/Jacob/Antonio

In my opinion, I think We should have a Year 7 and 8 camp. I think that Is an awesome opportunity to have more experience at learning new stuff that we could use for the future. For example The thing about camp I like is kicking it with the boys and doing sport, archery and all kinds of stuff. It’s also a good chance for people to take responsibility and take charge of things and of others as well. at our school , but that’s only if there would still be Camp. It gives us an chance to do stuff we didn’t know we could do.

Another good reason to have camp is take charge and take responsibility at camp you must behave and take leadership at camp. it is great getting out of the classroom and enjoy the fun and kick back. Another good reason to have camp is to have a chance to get to know more people and to meet new people and explore other places.

Furthermore I think camp gives us the time to kick back and have fun with our mates. Also its great to get out of the classroom and get fit,  active and healthy.

Its also a time when we can meet peoples parents have fun and be able to have an go on thing we didn’t know we could do. Performing for the other teams on the stage shows that you have courage and confindence.

This year I think that we should of had a camp for the year 7 and 8’s should of had a camp. Now we miss out on kayaking, going to the beach and going to the pool.

Seeing the little kids have fun and talk about how cool it was made me kind of sad. After they went to the pools I was kind of jealous.

As the little kids walked to go kayaking I felt like they were better than us. Because they get to have fun while we are in class. You get spend more time with your friends and make new ones.

Swimming at the beach is fun it teaches you that its different then the pool because there is a current that can pull you out to sea. You get to jump of the rocks at the pt england beach.

Next year I hope that the staff members and parents will think about this when they have another home-school-partnership-meeting and consider having a year 7&8 camp next year.

Allen Duff's Visit to Pt England.

Allen Duff is one of the founders for Duffy Book's at Home's and he has a hobby of reading and making books for children to read. So at assembly Mr Burt announced that there would be an special person coming next week on Monday, from France just to share his stories with us, and to give us books, which he said are like our friends when were down. When it was time we were all like who is he but It really didn't matter. So then, we had to sing our Duffy song and he said it was beautiful. After he said he has just published a book in France  then he said that he would give two copies to the most Awesome questions, But no one got it our class on people In Other classes got them. So then  we prayed and we farewelled him back to France.

First trials for Rugby.

What a session at rugby trial's, I felt like falling to the ground but no I wasn't aloud. First we had to warm up doing 3 Figure eight's, then we ran around the field. When I first signed up I thought it was going to be the most easiest sport in school, But then no it wasn't. But the most easiest thing was holding up the tackle bag for our first training exercise, but a bit later I was quite bored. Watching my other friends tackle the bag I was like wow that was the most furious I've saw them. When It was my turn, I felt like I was going to be the star of the Session. When we were having a game, we had to run around the field once but then someone walked then we had to do it again. We couldn't have the game so we were finished, when he said that was just a warm up I was like What!!!!!!!

My Unpredictable day.

This morning we all Completed our first Writing Sample for 2013. I have posted it just as I wrote it in the 40 minutes that we were given,so that throughout this Year I be able to look back and reflect on the progress I have made in my writing ,I will post my goals from this soon  

Waking up to awesome weather, I felt that this day couldn't get any better. After my shower I was Getting changed for school, But It was exhausting finding out that my Uniform is still wet. Running to the Closet to get the Iron to dry my Uniform and Looking at the time and its 8.40 I felt very angry that I could not dry up my Uniform fast enough, at least I could still go to school.

Having to run to school with a piece of bread and with damp uniform I felt like It wasn't really my day. Getting yelled at from the teacher was pretty emotional but when I find out we always leave to tech at Tamaki College,I felt like it was my day.  

Walking to Tamaki was pretty fun and exhausting at the same time, I felt hungry so then I snuck out a Picnic bar and ate half, but my friend said “Give me some our I’ll tell on Miss Nua” then I said “Ok” But he took all of it. When we got to Tamaki College, We had got split into Yr 7 and 8 classes.

Waiting for Mr Noble Pineda was like the Most boringest thing ever in my life. Finding out my iPod got stolen, I was really angry and had a feeling my friend I gave my Picnic bar too had stolen it. Having to think that this day was going to be my best day ever, it never was. Too bad thats what happens when I show off my iPod.

What I'm very good at on Maths
