Getting a New Netbook

It was Wednesday and Morning tea was finished. As I walked inside our maths class, Mrs Jacobsen called me to come. "Guess what" she said, "What" I replied, You guys are going to get a free new netbook" " What" we said with excitement, then we had to go to the staff room to see Mrs Tele'a. Mrs Tele'a told us we will get it after lunch time. So after lunch time, I walked through the breeze and saw heaps of brown boxes. When we sat down in the hall, the Variety boss talked about how they give netbooks out for free. After she finished talking they gave out netbooks to kids from different schools around our area. It was finally our turn to get our netbooks now, when they called out my name I stood up and got my netbook and walked on the stage. My cousin Iron was next to me she was so nervous but I wasn't because I am happy that I have a new netbook. I was so blessed to have a brand new netbook. Thank you so much Warehouse and Variety!

How to stay safe in the sun

Do you want to know how to be safe in the sun? Well you need these things to cover you in the sun ,a hat to cover your face, Sunblock for your skin so you don’t get sunburn, Sun Glasses to cover your eyes and good clothing to cover your skin as well .

First is hats, you need to have the right hat to cover your head and face. Hats that have soft material is not good because the sun can still go through it because it’s too soft. You need a bucket hat or a good hat that's hard to keep you safe.

Second is Sunblock. Sunblock is good for your skin because if you want to stay at the beach for long you must have Sunblock on. If you don’t, then too bad, you will get Skin Cancer or Sun Burn. But if you do, then you are free to play in the sun including you hat.

Finally the Sunglasses, Why is it important to wear Sunglasses? Sunglasses are good because it can cover your eyes from the sun. It is good because when you look at the sun, the sun shines at your glasses and then it bounces back off.

It is the most important thing to stay safe in the sun. You must wear a hat, use sunscreen and wear your sunglasses to you safe. So, when you go out, always remember to use these three things!

Going on a trip to Rotorua Spa Pools

It was 5am in the morning and we were packing our bags because we were are having a trip with our church to Rotorua Spa pools. We went in the bus and it took us half an hour to get there. When we got there we waited for the BBQ to get cooked because it was a long way. After we ate we played a game called capture the ball which is a bit similar to capture the flag. 20 minutes later  it was 4 all and we wanted to play Finals. When I got in the triangle their were 6 of us and we made a plan that my brother runs the other side with the ball and we run as a group on the other side and pretend the we have the ball. The referee was counting down and we splited up and went different directions . When my brother passed the cone with the ball we won. We had heaps of lollies  and Chocolates. It was time for us to have a swim in the hot pools but I didn't because I forgot to bring my swimming togs. After we had a swim it got darker and we were packing up to go home. On our way home we were sleeping in the car . It was the most amazing day in my life and next time I want to go there again with out forgetting my swimming togs.

White Sunday

Here is a Picture of us outside of our church.

White Sunday was during the holidays and we were excited because it was our first time in our new Church. Whites Sunday is all about celebrating kids and everyone , in Samoa Kids have to walk around the church a few times before they enter the church by lucky us we only have to do it once. This is a piece of writing that I wrote about White Sunday!!!!

“Yay it’s finally White Sunday” Shouted my little sister , it was the 12th of October and we were on our way to Our Church (Pakuranga Baptist Church). “Isn't that cool Sis” “NO!!” I shouted back to my Sister. As we sat in our places it felt like I was gonna vomit. Then we had to go and stand outside and wait for the song to play.  

When we finished the welcome song , it was the the younger kids turn to say our ‘tauloko’ which is means ‘play’ in Samoa. It was my turn and I was the Reader . After we did our play we sang our song it was the seniors turn to do their play (there were two plays) After the two plays we sang a few songs and finished with a prayer.

My best part was that it was finished and the lolly scramble. I can’t wait till next year because were gonna learn some more plays and sing some more songs.

Ripper Rugby and Rugby Champions

It was Wednesday morning and the year 5 & 6 girls Ripper Rugby team and the 2 rugby boys team is having a tournament at Dunkirk. When we finished getting ready, the girls went in the van , but the poor boys had to waste there energy on walking a long way to Dunkirk. Since us , the girls got there , our coach said " Girls lets set up the Gizibo and put our bags on it so the boys think that we can do it", So we had to do it.
By the time the boys got there we were already warming up , then some of them Said " That was quick".


After our coach , Miss Vaafusuaga , got back from the managers meeting, she announced that we are playing against Panmure Bridge School first. Panmure Bridge school was already on the field but we were still finding out who were the 7 starters, then our coach said it and then she said " Our captain will be Taunese " when she said that I was feeling a bit funny. The game started and Elizabeth and I already had 2 tries, It was the end of the game and we won by 9 , 0. We had another game coming up and we were playing against Tamaki Primary School . Half of my team thought that they were hard , but the other half thought that they were easy, then I said " we don't know yet because we haven't played them."


We Finished having a game against Tamaki and Sylvia park school and we won both of them.Then we went straight to Semi-finals against Panmure bridge. Our coach left Elizabeth and I as Sub to save our energy for the finals because Panmure Bridge is so easy. When the game finished we had a break , after we had some lunch we went to watch the Spartans finals against Tamaki primary boys. It was a pretty hard game because Tamaki boys was good as our boys, while our coach was watching the Spartans Finals we went and played kicks we our team mates, the alarm went and we heard the boys shout with excitement because the won the finals and they are going to the championship tournament. At last it was our finals against Tamaki, we were on and the game started to get harder , I didn't want to run with the ball because the other didn't have a turn so I passed it to my team mates. The alarm went and Elizabeth already has 4 tries, the score was 7-1. We were so happy that we but it wasn't the end, all of our teams made it to the championship tournament but now it's not Ripper rugby it's Rugby.


Our coach said that everyday we will have training everyday for the Championship. It was the year 5s first time going to the Championship tournament and some of them are scared and some are nervous, even the other year 6s. But Elizabeth , Rowana and I are just used to it and we are looking forward to it.

Here is a picture of us from last year, we won the Auckland Championship Tournament.
