A Very Amazing Christmas

Did you know what I did for Christmas?  Well this is where it all starts. Me and my brother Simon were so happy about our presents we got from our Mum and Dad. I got a Guitar and Simon got a Piano. It was so cool seeing BIG LONG presents under our Christmas Tree, but we knew that it was just the beginning of a fun filled day. My Mum’s Family was coming over for a yum BBQ, and more presents of course. Me, Simon and my Dad went down to my Aunty Lizzy’s to drop off my little cousins Julius and Eli’s presents. But when we got there we got a very unexpected surprise. It was Guitar Hero on XBOX ONE. “Wow that’s not even in any game store yet” I said in Surprise. “Thank you so much Aunty Lizzy” and gave her a BIG HUG.

When we got home my Mum was making her famous yum Potato Salad and Her delicious Crab meat Salad. Me and my Dad were doing the BBQ and Simon and my Cousin John were playing on the Xbox One. For our BBQ we had Steak, Lamb Ribs, Chicken, Corn and Kebabs. When My Nana, Grandpa and My Aunty Adah came over they gave us very cool gifts like Perfume from my Aunty Adah and 100 Dollars from My Nana and My Grandpa. “Thank you I said” and gave them a Kiss and a Hug. When the BBQ was ready we all gathered up in the Garage said Prayer and then Dug in.

When all was said and done, we all had a talk and just chilled then it was getting pretty late so we all packed up and said our farewells and then our visitors left. When everyone left, me, Simon and my Dad went out West to see some of our other cousins Alumita and Fenoga.  We call them Mita and Noga for short. When we got there we knocked on the door and said “Hi, Merry Christmas” and went inside. When we looked on their Christmas Tree, we saw a 40 Dollar gift Voucher for EB Games and 30 Dollars in cash. We gave them Shoes and a perfume each. My dad went to go see our Grandad and we stayed with our cousins. We just talked and listened to Music then our dad came and said “Come on we have to go”. “Oh Oh Oh” Me and Simon said “Bye” to our cousins, and that's how our day turned out, full of Excitement, Happiness, Family, Presents and Love, the way Christmas Day should be.

My End Of Year Reflection

This Year went so FAST. It was like being on a Rollercoaster, I had heaps of fun this year. My Year, Year 7’s Went Rainbows End, Year 8’s went to a Christian camp. Next week we're going Parakai Hot Springs. If you haven't been there you should Probably go. My big highlight would have to be Rainbows End and Polyfest. My favorite bit about Polyfest was the performances from different cultures. The thing I loved most was the Flava Van. Flava is a Radio Station if you didn't know. They gave us heaps of stuff like Hats, Glasses, Sun Screen, Hacky Sack, Water Bottle and a Balloon.

I think My Biggest Biggest Highlight would have to be Parakai. I haven't been there but I think that it will be so so fun. I even heard they have a hydroslide. This Year 2015 would have to be one of my favorite years, Because I made heaps of Friends. I even had a Amazing block. The saddest thing this year was when my Best Friend Harlem left to a another school. If I had to rate myself out of 10 it will probably be 7/10. The reason I rate myself this is because I talk too much in class and I don't really help out in the class. I think if I change myself I could get a end of year Award. I'm Really responsible.   

Next Year I'm going to be more involved in sports and school work. I’m going to be Year 8 next year so I need to show Awesome to the whole school. I want to be the best I can. I want to set an example to the little kids. Next Year i'm aiming to be high in everything. Reading, Writing and Maths. I really want my Report to be highest that i've ever got!!!

The event that I rate out of 10 would have to be Manaiakalani Film Fest. The reason I rate it out of 10 is because we go to watch free movies around the cluster. Pt England school takes out the cinemas every year but this year different schools joined us this year. Panmure Bridge and Tamaki College etc. It was funny and cool. If I had to pick a favourite movie it would have to be Antboy by Mr Baxindine and My brother Simon. This Year was So Fun !!!

Immersion Assembly

I was walking as fast as I could to the street (Our meeting place), I was really late, I sat down as the bell just rang, I was relieved. I raced to my classroom and I was so happy to see my friends. I put my bag down and raced to my class. As we were walking I calmed down. As I sat down, I didn't realize, I had friends until they all sat beside me. We were talking until we heard Mr Burt's voice. “Quiet down please’’ then the students went dead silent. Then Mr Burt Presented the new topic P.E.S Survivor, For myself I thought that was bland then I found out so much about it so it made sense.

The first movie was from Mr Burt it was about and a bird that was going to be extinct. I don't remember the name but the movie he made was kinda funny. The bird's name on his movie was called the Fia Poko parrot. And it lived in Pt Dingaling Forest. The Funniest bit for me was when he cooked it and pulled it out and it was KFC. Then Team 1 came on Mrs George said “this will only be short’’ but it was long. It was Actually a Karaoke.

But my favorite acts would have to be Team 5’s, the reason I liked them was because the theme they set up was the TV show Survivor. They had to eat noodles with chopsticks. It looked very hard but it looked very easy for Miss Clark. At the end I thought she cheated because She grabbed her plate and started tipping it into her mouth. All the contestants were jealous and the stated talking about there life style.

After Team 5 we all left the hall and went on for a day of fun and learning.

A Time Something Went Missing

My 20 Dollars  

It was New year's Eve and everyone was so excited. So was I. Me and my family went to a lookout point in town to watch the fireworks. As we sat down I never knew we would see so many amazing little animals. Me and my brother, Simon, went chasing a Hedgehog. Suddenly it stopped and it’s spikes went flying up like a flash of light. “Ahhhhhh’’ Me and my brother screamed with fear, then the Hedgehog started chasing me and Simon. We ran to our Mum and Dad and we hid. Then the Hedgehog went back under the fence.

As I was sitting with my family we heard everyone yelling “5 4 3 2 1 YAY”!!! But the fireworks never blew up. “HAHAHAHA” I was laughing, then BOOM BOOM BOOM “Yay” everyone yelled out. We were looking at the Sky Tower and all over it fireworks were roaring out, And all the ash started flying down. That's when I realized my 20 dollars was gone. Oh no I thought to myself, Mum I don't know where my 20 dollars is. “Where did you put it” my Mum said with a concerned face. “I don't know I think I left it in the car” “well go check” my Mum said. “I can't find it”, “maybe it's on the grass somewhere”.

“No No No I CAN'T FIND IT”, So I climbed up a tree and I gazed the grass. “I think I can see it”, So I raced down and I thought about all the cool things, “20 Frozen cokes, 20 Ice Cream and even a toy”. But I can’t think about that now so I raced there and I looked at it and it was really my 20 dollars. “YES YES YES” I said to myself!!! “Mum Mum I found it” “Ohh but you missed the fireworks”. “Oh well there's always next year”!!!

A Man With A Dream

Walking off the Bus into the stadium very nervous I tried to think positive but all I could hear was the loud crowd. I waited for my race listening to music, that's the only thing that could calm me. I could see people coming into the locker room very disappointed some were even crying. That’s when I got butterflies in my stomach. The lady Walked in the locker room “Light weights runners please’’, that's when I knew that was my weight division.

So we walked out of the locker room all sweaty and hot then suddenly I just found out that i'm up against Usain Bolt the fastest man in the world I tried to stay calm but my body refused. I could hear my name getting called from many different directions I didn't know if it was a Positive or Negative comment !!!

After the run I had a dry Throat and a sore head, That's because I inhaled too much air and I fainted. The next day my Family was all in the hospital and my silver medal was next to me and I was excited.

Another way to prevent yourself from getting sick is by not sharing food with others. This means not eating food that others have already eaten because their germs may be on the food. If you do this you will not get sick because their germs won’t mix with yours.

 A final way to prevent yourself from getting sick is to stay clean. This means washing your hands after going toilet and before you eat. It also means showering everyday.If you do this this then you will wash all the germs away from your body which will help to stay healthy.

Immersion Assembly

The Immersion Assembly was such a fright. Teachers springing every where like if there were little kids jumping every where like there was a thunderstorm. The first act was the Amazing Team of Team 1. The move they made was how to earn money, so they are trying to earn money by doing good deeds around the class room. Now its the enthusiastic team. Its Team 2, They were learning about what they want to be when there older. So they picked people from the crowed and asked them "What do you want to be when your older''


Then who will forget Team 3, They did the YMCA dance it was interesting and was funny. Then it was Team 4. They did how you feel if you find money on the ground so his emotions came out and told him stuff he could do with it but he left it on the ground. Then it was Team 5, They did Financially and Responsible. Has the good guys ever came to your house. So they try and rip you off and they say "You don't have to pay now'' but when you buy something they put the price. So the Good guys are not really Good Guys.

Inquiry Presentations

Hi there,

This weeks BIG focus was our Inquiry Presentations. The reason we did this was because it will help us gain more confordance and we get to show off our AWESOME work. Me and Zane wanted to make bike racks to go along with the bike track on the bottom field. Plus it will make the students more Responsible. But things never worked out so we wanted to make a scale model, and we are but we need some cardboard, wood, and plastic. We thought these things will be to expensive. My favorite one was the go cart. The reason I liked it was because they spoke clearly and confordant.

My second favorite group was the carving boys, because they were funny and cool. I loved there carvings because they were about every culture. Back to Zane and I, we have tried to make wonderful things but we haven't finished it yet. WE WILL MAKE IT SOON.

Pourquoi Story

Once there was a dog named Jack, him and his owner always played fetch. The owners name was Josh. They loved doing everything together but one day when Jack was 7 years old and Josh was 17 years. Josh got a letter, it was from the Army Forces, so Jack was just waiting and waiting and waiting. On Monday he left him, On Tuesday he was sick of hoping, Wednesday his stick was just laying there. So he just ran and ran and ran. Jack ran for 4 days straight.

On Sunday he was in the War zone he was frightened, So he just lay down like he was dead. But he said to himself “No I will not feel pain’’. So Jack got up, He had pins and needles in his left leg but he just kept on running.  

As he was running a big rocket blew up right in front of Jack. He had injured his leg but when he thought about it he just got stronger and stronger. The rocket even blew off his butt. But he was thankful because it just made him faster. While he was running he saw a man that looked just like Josh so Jack got excited.  

He ran his fastest till his leg got cramped up, he fell over and just felt like giving up. He said to himself “I could really use my butt right now’’.  So jack ran and started looking for his butt but it was in a compound where all the injured soldiers were in but it was sewed on to another solders butt. But he just focused on his owner Josh.

And he saw josh with no leg and was sad then he ran up to Josh and sniffed him and it was Josh. So Jack dragged Josh to safety then they lived a happy life at home. But Jack just remembered something his butt. So Josh took him to the butt store and brought him a new butt. It was green. And that's why dogs sniff butts.

My Letter to a man that was in War

Dear Gustav,

My name is Michael and I hope you feel a bit safe not being at war. I know how you feel but keep your head up high and keep moving on. Keep safe and warm. And hopefully you get a positive response not negative. It has been a BAD mistake that you have been in this position and I have feelings for you.

Its great that you are a family guard but it sucks that you are in Jail. Hopefully you get out of Jail and see your family again.

Yours sincerely: Michael

That's when they started to kick in the Tanks, Germany got angry and made an bullet proof Tank so the Germans thought they'll be OK but they weren't because Britain made Air Planes and Germany was in for an Disaster. It was sad that Millions and Millions of people because of those disasters things.

700 - 800 people from New Zealand went Gallipoli. Young and Old men dying haven't lived there life up to the fullest. And it all started when a BIG boat arrived at the viduck people saying good bye to their dads and their uncles. Tears coming down there faces and kids having panic attacks. There dads were bound to protect their countries and their families, There were many wounded and even some people coming off ships on stretchers.  Families were really sad and happy to see their Dad even when he came off with a missing body part. Some Dads and Uncles NEVER CAME BACK EVER!!  

Some kids never were the same any more because it's a really hard seeing their Dad with a broken mind. They could not sleep because there friends died or can’t stop thinking about death and gun shots. Its really sad when you never see your Dad / Uncle again because there were the ones that looked after you and loved you.

There was the fire service there and they taught us what and not to do when theres a fire. First they said never tip water on to the stove because it will just make a big explosion!! They gave us sum positives like put the chopping board on the stove. I loved the goody bags that they gave us.
