White Sunday "YAY"

On a very bright Sunday morning on the 10Th of October my sister and I got dressed in our white Peas known as a Samoan outfit. It was for white Sunday. With excitement ,I couldn't wait until it was our turn to preform in front of everyone. As more and more excited I began I started jumping up and down.

We had arrived to church and it was 9:30 our church service started at 10:00.
As I walked happily into my church (Panmure Methodist) the Minister had kindly greeted me.
With respect I greeted him back.

The church service had began. I was so excited but as the service went by I was so board it felt like I was watching an old movie. But then it was time to preform, I was so excited I couldn’t wait until it was my part.

As we walked up onto the stage, my tummy was beginning to form some nervous butterflies. The others had already done there part and now it was my turn. I was as scared as a bee getting chased by a bear. A part of me said “I can’t do this it is to difficult “ and another said “ You have to ,you have practised and practised for this event so do not chuck that away”.
So I had done it and it wasn’t that hard at all.

As it turned out well in the end all the kids in our church got a special treat.
We got some snacks like Biscuit,Chips,Ice blocks and drinks it was awesome . With a great feeling I was Happy.

I think I have learnt a lot from this White Sunday. I had a lot of fun on this very day and hope everybody else out there who had White Sunday had the same feeling as me.

Kiwi. How Cool Are They

Intro: Some birds build nests in tall trees-Kiwis don’t
Many birds can fly in the morning breeze- Kiwis can’t
A bunch of birds have bright and colourful feathers - kiwis certainly don’t have that!

But of all the difference kind of birds, we still think that kiwis are the best!
Kiwis ARE COOL!!

Size:It’s not that they’re all that small. Their average size is about the same length as a rugby ball! The smallest kiwi is spotted smaller than a cat It lives in the WHOLE of New Zealand!

These kiwis can be really BIG!! The biggest one is TWICE as big as a rugby ball.These species live in the north island such as around Mt Ruapehu and the central of Taranaki and Hawkes Bay!


Appearence: And I suppose you wouldn’t exactly call many of them beautiful or even dazziling KIWIS!. Their colour’s a just DULL and there plumage is just plain brown.The feathers aren’t as richly coloured as normal birds. They grow a 20 cm bill on the front of their bodies which looks really ridiculous. Imagine giving them a Hongi, it will really difficult.

Flightless: Many people think Kiwis don’t have wings . But they do! If you look under their dreary sepia plumage, then you’ll find a small pink wing. Their wings are as tiny as our PINKYS! Can you believe that !! Because I can’t.


Also you wouldn’t even BELIEVE what they do with their bills. It’s absolutely AMAZING!
As they crawl out of the bushes they poke there 20 cm bills into the dirt to catch the delicious prey. When they have most of there bills ducked into the dirt they would be able to smell 3 cm below the ground.


And there you have it! How could you possibly resist a fat blubbery, dull coffee- coloured, bill picker and flightless?

If kiwis aren’t cool then I don’t know what is!

A Cross Country that will never be forgotton

You will never guess but Mr Burt tricked us. " We are doing the Cross-Country " were his exact words. " Nooooo" I screamed like a baby. Now I don't have time to write my sick letter. Oh, I could pretend I am fasting like Muba. " Nah they won't but that because I am not a Muslim, Arghhhh"

There I was sitting in a full line of 11 year old girls. My heart was pounding like never before because I always came near the end every year.. It was very cold out there. I was also trembling, but I don;t know if it was because I was Cold or because I was nervous.

As Mr Burt slowly made his way to the front, butterflies grew bigger and bigger inside of me. Then he said this " Today is going to be quiet different because the eleven year old will be going first". "WHAT " said. This can not be happening . " Please make your way up" Mr Burt said. " Anything,Anything but Cross-Country" I moaned.

We quietly made it to the starting line ,My heart was pounding. " CLAP"the block went I was running as fast as I could because I did not want to come last. We past the line of trees and my energy drained into the distance. " Please be over , Please be over " I said. But no it wasn't.

Passing the gate, My legs starting aching. I tried to keep on going but the agonizing pain kept shooting trough me. Finally I stopped to catch my breath. My breath was coming out so hard that two people had passed me. Not caring about my breath, I kept on going to pass the two people. My tiring body, felt like it was going to give up, I just couldn't do it . Their was too much pain in me to keep on going.

I was passing the halfway line, I still had a feeling inside of me that I couldn't make it. After a few meters, I was feeling so tired and exhausted. But, Miss King kept on pushing me to do the race and finish it. For her to say that is really encouraging and that is why I kept on going.

A relived feeling had come over me when my eyes had saw the finish line. " YAY " I screamed with joy. I passed the playground with complete happiness. This was my final sprint to the finish line. " Oh my goodness" I said

"It's over" I signed. But I never thought I would make it. " Thank you it over , Thank you I said in a relief and satisfaction.

This term I have been learning about the Titanic. Here is a movie of what I have learned. ENJOY

Mrs Tele'a, Map. I wonder what they have in common...

Last week we (extension group) had to draw Mrs Tele'a. Why! because since we were learning about Mighty Mariners Mrs Tele'a has always wonder how unique these explores were at drawing maps of countries without a satellite or an aircraft. All they had was there brains and I think an ink pen.

So she wanted us to draw her from different angles on the computer to see what it would look like and what we would need to draw her. When we drew her I got straight into it

and made it look like her. I really tried my best and this is what it turned out like. The picture shows my art work and some other peoples as well.

Life Education Caravan

On Thursday morning our class room 17 went to the Life Education Caravan.

We had a lot of fun learning about how great we are and that we are one special person.

On Thursday we learned that there is only one of us and that we have to look after our bodies by making wise choices. One of them are to never ever smoke or don't put too much caffine in you. We also got free soap from Lyn our teacher for the day. When we got it we felt so happy but that wasn't the end of it we got a fantastic book it was about the topic we were learning which is It is Great to be Me.

I hope that everyone that went To the Life Educarion Caravan learned something and took away to do.
