Emergency Part 1

As I woke up on the 26th September (which was the school holidays), suddenly my mind started to think about school. Just then my brain clicked. I realized that I had a book that was due back at the library on the 28th.

Now the bad part of this was that, this book was at a locked up school and on the 27th I was going to Totara Springs Camp for 5 days! How could I get it. Obviously, I didn't know what to do NOW!

As fast as I could, I ran to the study room and went on the computer. 'Click' this was the sound of my computer mouse clicking on the Internet. The website changed from Google to Hotmail. I quickly typed my username and password in. I was shocked at how many mails I had.

"350 mails, Oh my gosh!" that was a lot. I gasped. As quick as I could, my hand clicked on the 'New' button and my hands started to type so fast. I typed a email to Ms Garden to go to school and get my book and give the library book back. I made a few mistakes because I was writing in text language. I immediately corrected it and clicked on the sent button. "I hope I get a reply as soon as possible" I murmured.

Now if you want to know what happened than you'll have to read part 2 if this story, which is coming out soon.

By the way, what would you have done if you a had a problem like this? You can tell me what I should have done, by commenting on this post.

School is Starting!!

As you may know that, tomorrow school is starting and, I just can't wait because I want to know what we are going to be learning about. It's going to be amazing. I really want to meet my friends.

I hope that whatever out topic is, it is fun to learn about and has a lot if cool things we get to do. I think that our topic will be about creatures and nature.

The cool thing is that I will get a chance to be my friends for 10 weeks, because after that it will be the Summer holidays. Some of my friends might be leaving school. I want to have the best time with my friends in these 10 weeks.

Well now I have to go and get ready for school. See you soon, at school (for friends and teachers).

Totara Springs

Today I came back from Totara Springs. This is a kids camp where the Pt England Riverside Club had gone this year. Only the riversiders were allowed to come. We had so much fun. I am going to be telling you about some of the things that my cabin did over there.

First of all, I would like to tell you about my cabin members. Our cabin number was 7 Girls and there were 11 people. These were Ala, Teresa, Jay'lee, Oshania, Awhina, Chanel, Tyla, Aneisha, Cara, Ashleigh and me. The leaders were Cara and Ashleigh, they were awesome leaders.

The second thing I am going to tell you about is about the fun we had. My cabin played a lot of games. The scariest one was called Jungle Adventure. This game took place at night on Wednesday in the forest, it was so scary. It was dark so you couldn't see much and, so you had to be careful of where you were walking. I didn't really like it because I fell in the mud and it was so scary for me.

Why don't you check out some of my cabin members blog so you know a little bit about why they like camp. I will put up a few videos of me at camp so then you get a better idea of how much fun we had there down at Totara springs. Bye for now.

My Cross Country Narrative

Cross Country Narrative

Strolling into school, I had a very weird feeling that we were going to be doing Cross Country, and a sick feeling came into my tummy. Opening my eyes, I saw the chairs lined up in a row, they were also in order from year 1 to year 6. I cringe. Mr Burt had tricked us. “OHHHH” I groaned. If he had told us that we were going to do Cross Country, I would have got my sick note.

‘BRIINNNGGG’ the bell went at 8:50. Only had 10 minutes to think how to stop myself from racing, and my heart was pounding. I didn’t know what to do. “THINK, THINK, THINK”.

I sat in my age line, which was 11 and waited restlessly for Mr Burt to start talking. I was relieved thinking that it would be going from 5 year olds to 11 year olds unfortunately, I was wrong. 1 minute after I said that, he said “Today it will be different because the 5 year olds and 11 year olds will go together”. He had to say that! I was really nervous from then.

“On your marks, Get set, and GO!!!” As soon as Mr Burt said that his clapper went ‘BANG”! I was so stressed out. People were spurting pass me and I was so embarrassed because I knew that I would come last, I knew my team Maatatua would be unhappy. It was half way and I tried really hard to tell myself “You can do it”. I was exhausted by then.

There was spongy mud all over the field. It was gross and annoying. I could feel it, it was gluey and disgusting. I just hated it. Everybody was going fast over the mud, but I wasn’t. I wasn’t used to mud. OF COURSE it slowed me down even more!

About 20m away from the finish line, my friend Ala tripped. I was shocked. Her knee was aching. I cheered her up by saying some positive encouragements. She got up and started to run, we ran together.

As I was very close to the finish line, I legged it. It was quite like a marathon, I had never ran like that. I zoomed past 2 people. As I was about 5 metres away from the finish line, I opened up my throttle and whizzed. 2 metres away and I could hear the crowd cheering. Who were they cheering for Me or Ala? “They would never be cheering for me” I said. I heard carefully and I was wrong, they were cheering for me. As I crossed the finish line I felt happy. It felt really good.

I didn’t care that I came 5th, at least people cheered for me, a person that is always last. I was also happy that Ala had came 1st and I had came 5th. ‘THIS WAS GREAT”, 5th is a great position. I just hope in our next race, nothing so bad like people falling down happens again.

Thank you Mr Burt!!

A few days ago, I wrote a little letter to Mr Burt if I could do my own little Indian dance, for the FiaFia, and Guess what? He aceepted my request. I was extreamly happy. On my letter, he also put a sticker which said 'Principals Award'. I felt like I had just did something that impressed Mr Burt.

We are already half way through the moves and everybody in my group thinks that they are awesome. By the way, in my little dance there is 5 people, which is, Ala, Seini-Mino, Toreka, Sylvia and me.

I just can't wait for the FiaFia night which is on 23rd September. It is going to be soo exciting. I think I am going to love it. I hope my group and I, have a splendid day. If you live in Auckland, why don't you come and have a look on 23rd September.

Is Mrs Tele'a a Map???

A few days ago Mrs Tele'a and the extension group did a little exercise on different peoples point of view. In this, Mrs Tele'a sat down on a chair and we had to draw her. We have drawn her from the way she looked to us. As you can see, above this paragraph is a picture that I have put together. I have asked a few people for their image they have drawn and I have put them together.

In the picture that I have drawn , I think I distorted it. I think that when I draw, I should put it in the right proportions and scale it properly. I also think that I should concentrate on the view a little more. Focusing is a very important thing while you are drawing something.

This little exercise was kind of like drawing a map because we have to know how people in the oldern days had drawn their maps. We need to know that this wasn't a easy job for them as well because they had to draw it accurate.

I would like to thank Makerita, Crusader, Erene, Cruz and Angela for letting me use their images. Thank you.

A Really Cute Baby!!

On the 17th July 2010 my auntie had a baby and, guess what? It is a baby boy. His name is Ahmed. I wanted her to have a girl but, unfortunately it was a boy. I really wanted to be a girl because I think that boys are VERY naughty and girls are pretty bad sometimes but, they are awesome.

Everyday I play with the Ahmed, he is so cute! Whenever my auntie come to my house I would be the first one to hold him. If somebody takes over for more than 1 hour I would insist and take him for at least 30 minutes.

I just hope that when he grows up he will be well educated, a expert in a lot of things and is a very good boy!
