My Learning At School!


Walking in class my friends and I sat on our desk’s. Talking about what we’ve been doing lately and having a laugh like always. The bell rings, we quickly get our netbooks and turn them on. We have a look at what we’re doing for the learning block. We started writing and I’m just starting my paragraph one. So I ask my friend for some help to read my writing!.

Second block we have P.E. It is my favourite subject in class learning time! I love running and I love being sporty. We sat down and our teacher Mrs. Lagitupu  told the girls first that we had to run around the field once! I jogged first and then ran! I got half way and I tried my best to not stop! I am slowing down but I need to push myself harder! I keep on going, nearly there I finally made it and a HOORAY I shouted at the top of my lungs!
The class takes a three minute rest time. All of the girls stand up so we can do shuttle runs. !GO! our teacher told us. We ran to the first tree and back. !GHOST! she tricked us so we still carried on to the second tree and then the third. One more and I sprinted off because I was tired. I finally got back and dropped so I could have a big long rest. Then  it was the boys turn to do the  shuttle run! They were just slower than us.

We got back to class and I quickly ran to get my netbook. I sat down and went on xtramath. Xtramath is a site for kids to 10 year olds and up. You have to guess the answer before the time runs out. I am on two seconds division. I love my math too! I’m really into multiplication but I still struggle. After I finish my math I go on Math Whizz. It might sound familiar and yes it is a Math site. It helps me get better at my math, specially my long division. I’m getting way better than last year.

Last block was inquiry which is topic. During our time we finish off our movies or our podcasting. My podcasting is mainly about the book called A Diary Of A Wimpy Kid (Dog days). Some of you’s might of seen the movie but I haven't. So I just read the book about it! It really caught my eye so that’s why I chose that book! My buddy partner is Ashlee! She is one big help. She helps me through my story and helps me what to say. Her book is called Geronimo Stilton.


BRING!!!  The bell rang everybody packed up and quickly got their bags and sat down to be dismiss! Everybody was waiting until everyone was quite. Good Afternoon class our teacher said gladly. The whole class replied back good afternoon Mrs.lagitupu and zoomed out! Walking home with my friends having a laugh we saw free swings and we all had a race of who would get the swings first.

Learning at school is FUN!

What we do on fiafia practice's!


Laughing with joy the Samoan group was practicing! Over and over we have to get this dance right. All in positions and we are all ready! the song starts to play and a smile came on our faces! With a big wave of our hands it was tiring. We had 5 minutes break and after we will practice our song.


Tausagi Mai manu e! Everybody started to sing. We stopped a couple of times time get our voices to sing properly! My friend was trying to help because I struggled when it came to singing! Learning the words has to be the key thing I need to practice on!!! Singing fast might be easy for some Samoans but for me it’s HARD!!


Dancing some more I’m getting use to the dance. We started again and I got it! So now I like dancing to the song at home and I tried to teach my cousins how to do the dance! Looking side to side I see my friends having fun. The action I hate is always bending down because it makes my knees sore, but I don’t mind because I'm used to it.

We all gathered around and our teacher told us that we have to smile and just enjoy it! We did one more song practice. We sounded great!! Our next practice's will be on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!


I love Fiafia practice.

Easter


Easter is the best holiday only for five days. In those five days I usually spend them with family.

On the first day I’ll relax and then hang out with my brother. Then will go see how my families doing setting up the Easter hunt! After I’ll go with my aunties to go get the stuff to make the Easter hunt for the little ones. We got chocolate Easter eggs and paint for my Mum and uncle to paint faces on the day. During the hunt of shopping I wondered if we should have maps to make it easier for the little ones, my mum thought it was a great idea!

The second day will be setting up the plan of where we should hide the Easter egg’s. As the adults were setting the plan I was distracting the little one’s so they wouldn't know what we were up to. They thought I was acting strange and suspicious but I told them I was just happy. They thought I was hiding a present but they still didn't know what was going on.

 

The third day we got everything prepared for them. I got them to gather around and to follow me. One of the kids said where are we going? I said to a special place called the backyard, the kids laughed! I took them around the house like five times just to make sure the adults were ready. I walk outside and saw my Mum, Aunt and Uncle standing there with Rabbit faces on them. The three of them gave maps to a  different child. One for Teilah another for Laurel and one more for Tyreese! They all were excited when my mum shouted GO! They zoomed off like animals trying to find heaps of Easter eggs.

I helped the youngest one Tyreese. I gave him a clue where one was. He looked in the bushes and saw a purple and a blue Easter egg. FOUND ONE!!! Teilah shouted, ME TOO! came from Laurel. I went to Laurel and just check how she is going with the Easter hunt. She found three Easter eggs! So I went over to Teilah and she found two, exactly like Tyrese!

I came back and saw Tyreese with loads of Easter eggs, I was wondering how he found those so quickly? I checked his map but what I only saw three lines on it not six. Where did you find these? I asked him. He said the trees! I never knew they hid it behind the tree’s. After 30 minutes we all huddled in a circle. I was shocked of how many all of them found! Teilah had 8, Laurel had 5 and Tyreese had 10 I couldn't believe it. After we all ate the chocolate Easter eggs the kids settled down and watched some movies, they finally fell asleep!

The Beep Test


BEEP!! I started running. Doing the beep test is very tiring. You have to run from one point to another before you hear the beep. If you hear a beep noise before you get to the other side you are out. It was a very hot day!

Starting level two I'm starting to puff a little. Looking side to side my friends are still running with me. One friend to another we are all starting to slow down. I heard level four when I was running. I couldn't take it but I still pushed myself to achieve. Nearly there I was to the line but suddenly BEEP!! I was out.

Huffing and puffing I was tired like I was in the desert. Sweating hot I needed more water. My friend was waiting for me as she had another water to cool herself down. Back in the shade I didn't want to leave my spot. My friend told me I did a great job!

I was cheering on my friend Tauwhare, she is very fit. She was trying her best to keep on focus. Backwards and forwards I see her slowing down. I still cheered for her because she was the last girl in our class to run. On level 8 she was nearly there but she ran out because she was tired but at least she tried her best!

After everyone had a rest we all got into lines and went to class. On the way to class we were all talking about how far we ran. At class our sports teacher showed us what level we ran and mine was Level 4.5! I was really shocked that I ran that far but at least I did my best!

I love sports!

Sports, it is my favourite subject in school. I love running and I love to get fit. My favourite sport is rugby! There is a trial at school for the year 8 girls straight after morning tea. The test is called the beep test. You have to make its to the other side of the courts before the beep sound comes. Every level you complete it gets faster so its really hard to catch up on.


At home I play with my brother. We get some of our neighbourhood friends to come over! Logan and I are one team and my brother and John is the other team. Running fast as I could my brother chased me he went for a quick tackle and I fell to the ground. I quickly passed it to Logan as he scored a try.


At school our class does P.E! We go for a run around the field and then when we get back we have a five minute break. After our break we do shuttle runs. The first group will be the girls then go’s the boys.

So I can’t wait until the trials and I hope I make it in!

My Morning's On Saturday's


The sound of birds chirping in the morning waking up, I smell breakfast!! Bacon and eggs sizzling on the fry pan, a smell of toast just popped up from the toaster. Kicking back in the lounge watching Fresh is my style! Laughing at the jokes which makes me smile.

Now I'm at the table eating the bacon and eggs getting full already. What is next? My mum told me it’s time to do the dishes. Doing the dishes isn't me because that’s just the thing about me. I hate doing the dishes and also the lawns, I struggle and struggle then I start to moan.

I might sound like a lazy person but to be honest I'm not! I love cleaning my room and the house so I'm not lazy. Now I'm back to my room already nice and tidy, my eye’s are heavy while I drift off to sleep.

Snoring is all you hear coming from my room. My brother stomps in like a elephant and chucks a pillow at me! I quickly got up and was shocked to death that I got two pillows and started chucking them back at him. Running out my brother sprints back to his room. Kicking back my day continues!!

The old man enjoying his view


Walking among the sandy beach a old man enjoying his view. A big step on the beach is a memory of his childhood. Waves clashed together as he hears the screaming winds. Seagulls are flying and glistening sand beneath his feet. Footsteps follow behind him. He looks out further to the sea until he just sees islands.

Strolling across the beach hearing happiness everywhere! Children running and playing and families enjoying their picnics. The man still remembers his times with his family when he was young. Surfing and volley was on, laughter everywhere the man walks.

Singing a song to himself the man was glad. He loved the sounds of the ocean. Holding his sandals and walking in bare feet. Different shells he finds interesting that he sees. Smiling the old man was happy.

As his day carried on the man was happy and was enjoying his life and his view!!!
