Goodbye 2014!

This year it has been a journey for me because I am going to be a year 7 next year and I am going to miss all of the teachers that taught me. This year has been the best year of my life because the year 6 students went to Kawau Island and it was the best trip that I have been to. I am also going to miss my 4 friends which is Rowana, Jessica, Elizabeth, and Liz U. I wish you the best and Merry Christmas and goodbye.

My Reflection about 2014

Today we had to write a reflection of 2014 and this is what I wrote about this year so have a read and enjoy.

In the beginning of the year I thought it was going to be boring. I thought I was in a small class but we have a big block of year six. It is cool because you can switch classes like literacy and maths.

The first thing I was proud of the year is coming back to school to learn and make friends.The other thing I was proud of the year was when I was involved in heaps of sports. The other thing I was proud of this year is getting along with my 4 new teachers which is Mrs Garden, Mr Goodwin, Mrs Jacobson, and Mr Somerville.  The most thing I am proud of this year is becoming a year 6 and aiming for my goal.

The second thing I am proud of this year is participating with the year 5 students in our big class. I am also proud of is getting back with my best friends which is Elizabeth, Rowana, and Jessica. Another thing that I am proud of this year is going back on my netbook.  The next thing that I was proud of is when my rippa rugby team made it to the Auckland  champs and came 3rd.

What I want to work on next year is getting better at sports and learn some new skills. I also want to get better at Reading, Writing, and Maths. I also want to work on my blog and posting more post to make it creative and wonderful.

I want to thank the teachers that taught us new things and especially Mr S because he is the one that made me feel confident in everything. I also want to thank Miss Va’afusuaga for being wonderful to me at sports and everywhere. I had to say that 2014 is the best year in my life but I am going to move on to year 7 next year so thank you everyone.

A Trip to Kawau Island

It was Tuesday morning and the year 6 Point Englanders were at Kawau Island. It was our first day at camp. As soon as we were finished packing our bags, we sat in our lines and Peter and Erin introduced themselves, they were hosting us.

Then we went  on a long hike, Rowana and I were partners and we helped each other when we feel like. Sometimes we got angry at each other because we always try pulling each other down, and sometimes we laugh at someone when they get angry at others for pushing them. When we got to the top of the hill, Collin was holding a rock and made a speech for not giving up on the long hard hike. We had a little bit of morning tea and a drink of water.

When we got back from our hike, we had to get our bag and put it in our cabin. My cabin was cabin Q, and in cabin Q was Elizabeth, Ava, Quinlan, and I. After that we had a long free time, I was playing volley with Liz U, Elizabeth G, Rowana, Ashley. It was nearly night time and we were having dinner, after we had dinner we had to get changed into our pajamas and brush our teeth. When we finished doing that we watched a movie called The Princess Bride. It was a cool movie, at the end of the movie we went to bed.

On Wednesday morning we had to get up at 7:00am because we had to go for our fitness trial. After our run we had breakfast, than we started the day with some activities. Our first activity was Burma trail. Then we moved on to Orienteering, that was one of my favourite activities because Zane, Taiaha and I worked as a team to find the letters. We  found all of the letters and when the others came we were already making a word out of the letter we found, there was, Raft building, Dining and Kayak. There were other activities were abseiling, kayak, and raft building. At night time when we finished getting changed we played spotlight at night time. It was fun for the others to play but not for me because we I incidentally sprained  my ankle.

On the next day we did the same thing as yesterdays, wake up at 7:00, do fitness trial, have breakfast, brush our teeth and finally finishing of our activities. Our last activity was sailing, it was the most fun activity to do when it’s hot. After we finished every activities we had a long free time. Then we did the same thing again, eat dinner, brush our teeth and now we get to get changed for our concert and practice. It was the concert and it was time for us to perform. After that it was time for the judges to tell us who won and the winner was BENTZON so Bentzon had to perform again. Then it was time for us to got to bed.

It was our last day at camp, and were packing our bags and wait for the ferry. After that we played some games, we played Bush baseball, Swimming, Touch, and Volley. When the ferry arrived we loaded our bags on the ferry. Then it was time for us to leave Kawau Island.

It was the most fun camp in my life, when I grow up I am going to visit Kawau Island.

TOUCH!

On Friday morning, it was finally our touch tournament and Mr Somerville was our coach. When we finished getting ready, we went down to Dunkirk, we thought that some schools were already there but we were the first school to be there. As the others was setting up the Gizibo my friends and I warmed up.


As soon as most of the schools got there the games began. The first school that we played against was Tamaki Primary. At the end of the game the referee announced that we won by 8-0. Our next game was Glen Innes. It was our finals and we won all of our games, at the last games we were playing against Glenn Taylor. It was pretty hard because some girls were pretty fast, but anyways the hooter went and we won the finals, then we asked the year 5 team if they won then they said Yes. Then that means both Point England teams are champions.

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.

On Tuesdays after school we always have Netball games against other schools. But our games are finished and we are so happy that we came 1st in our section and today we are going to the prize giving. Next year the netball games will start again and find out who will be the champions for 2015.

A Trip to Samoa

In our literacy class we had to write a narrative about Samoa. I wrote a story about us planning to have a trip to Samoa and Elizabeth getting lost.So I hope you enjoy .

Paragraph 1

It was nearly the holidays in New Zealand and Rowana , Elizabeth , Ashley and I are planning to have a trip to one of the Islands. “Which island are we going to” said Ashley “New Zealand” said Rowana , “Were already at New Zealand dumb” Said Elizabeth “ I Know Samoa” Said Ashley. “ Okay , well go next week on Monday” I said. “lets meet at the airport at 1:00pm”

Paragraph 2

“Wow it looks amazing” Said Elizabeth as we were walking out of the Plane. “ Where are we going to go ” said Ashley . “I know!” Said Elizabeth as she left us, “ Lets go to Savai'i first” as she turned to the left , “Um Elizabeth, Savai’i is the other way”,I Shouted, but she was already gone,“ She doesn’t know where she’s going,” I said. “come on lets go to my aunts house,” I said. The others were following me to my aunts house, when we got there my aunty said “You guys have to share one room,” She said. “ that's Cool,” Ashley said “I wonder where Elizabeth is,” Rowana said

Paragraph 3

“shall we go to the beach now, it’s so hot, It feels like i’m gonna burn,” Said Ashley, “Okay lets go” “wait,” said Rowana “ I forgot my bags at the airport,”

“Oh My Gosh, Take care of your stuff,” said Ashley

“now you are going to spend your own money on new things,” “ and don’t ask me for any of my money” than we left to go to the shops to buy some things for “Rowana”. When we finished buying things for Rowana we went straight to the beach.

Paragraph 4

It was our last day at Samoa and my aunt gave us 2 big packet of Banana chips and a big packet of bread fruit. Then my aunt dropped us to the airport and went. While we were waiting we saw Elizabeth , she was tired and funny looking. We gave her a packet of chips , then Ashley said , “where were you?’’ the whole week I was here” she said. “Come on lets go back to New Zealand.
