Six Sentence Story.

Once upon a time there was a girl that lived with her family in a rusty old house. Her name was Rebekah and she was 30 years of age. She had a special talent that she kept in herself and she didn’t tell anyone because she was so embarrassed. Her talent was styling peoples hair. Her problem was she wasn’t getting any people in her shop. She felt sad and worried that her business was going to shut down, but she made a t.v add so she can get more people to come to store. And in the end she got people coming into her store and she was making money to pay off bills.   

Breakup

Do you know what a Breakup is?. Well a breakup is a celebration that we always do at Mangere College for putting their best effort in polyfest. We always get together to have the opportunity to have one last laugh with them and get to know them well. And it runs in the family. Mangere College made there tutors proud and happy and because of that they represented our culture like they meant it. And so we celebrate there lovely effort. And they showed the Niuean stage they have skill in themselves and they can win something for once in their lives.

As you can see the amazing tutors are ... my aunty and my mum. My mum and aunty have always made the Niuean group do there best. But she just lets them know that they can trust what they are doing and hope that they can give it their best shot. I always go to the practice wit my mum and my little brother. And in that group I have 2 cousins that are in that group. You see my mum always sleeps at midnight because she has to prepare the songs and other things for the group. It is really amazing getting to see my own culture group at polyfest.

When they had to perform their item to the audience. And I did not get to see them only my brother because I came to school. School is more important to me than going to polyfest. And because of that I always go to their practices and I do not want to disturb and destroy the big moment.  But I got to she it when I got home. It was GREAT.

The placings was 3rd place for Kamataaga. 1st place for Tame, 1st place for Meke. 2nd place for Takalo and in a tie in 3rd place was Mangere College and Henderson for Fakaotiaga and they came 3rd for overall. So that was good and I am so proud of them. There places aint that bad its amazing to see them happy and cheerful.

Sports At Tamaki.

Every Thursday Class 2,4 and 5 have been walking down to Tamaki College for P.E. It is located in Glen Innes next to the Tamaki R.E.C Centre. We normally have tutors that take our group around and we play games all around the Tamaki College field. For example….. Chain Tag and The Blindfold Challenge. But there are a lot of other games we get to play. We have lovely wonderful tutors too.   

Why do we go down to Tamaki you ask? Well we go to Tamaki to get fit. So for example..... if we wanted to sign up for a sport we want to play. Like... netball you would already be fit and healthy . We walk to Tamaki to play new things and that is such a good exercise. It is really amazing for us to have the chance to go to Tamaki to play some sports. We are all so happy for having the opportunity to play different sports. Maybe you might go to a senior school to play new sports. I wish I could go there everyday.

Our Experience at Tamaki College has been fun. We have 7 groups that have 10 - 12 people per group. It isn’t just boys in one group and girls in the other. It is mixed. We have to participate with boys in our team and the boys have to participate with the girls in there team. In each group we have 2 - 4 tutors. Our leaders are girls and other leaders are boys. I really wanted girls to be my leaders because I like how girls don’t care if we make a mistake. They just keep on encouraging us to get back up and carry on.

At Tamaki we have tutors that take us to different sports. And some of the sports we play are...... umm so hard to choose. Oh yes high jump, chain tag, amazing race, rope jump and other sports like that. Our group did the obstacle course . We had to get with a partner and pick who is going to be blindfolded and one person to guide their partner through the course. My partner was Rave and she was blindfolded. I had to guide her through the obstacle course so she can get to the end. At the end was the scariest bit. Rave had to jump of the deck and land on a soft blue mat. But sometimes people miss the mat. It was so.. hilarious seeing Rave jump. OH man good times . Rave was so… scared jumping while she was blindfolded. But our tutors lead Rave and told her to jump. Then she jumped and all she felt was something soft and she thought it was a bed. The obstacle course was fun and hard. It was all about teamwork and trusting your very own buddy.  

Having fitness at Tamaki College is so important to me and my buddy Nikita. We get healthier and fitter by playing some of the games. It will help us to have lower cholesterol levels in the future. But really we have to go to Tamaki so we can participate in things that we like. For example….. Say I wanted to sign up for a sport like….. Touch. Then if I DO make the team. I would train my hardest and I will try my best to participate with my teammates, and I will not let my teammates and coach down.  

OH and by the way our group is called the Assassins. Just putting that out there. Our group is so amazing. And we get treats at the end of each lesson because we always treat our tutors like we love them. Our tutors told us that we are like a family like. Brothers and sisters related. The leaders lead us to do our best and they do fabulous leadership. They have to tutor us because they are practising leadership for when they grow up and become what they want to be. Most of our leaders are polynesian, Samoan and Tongan.

Do you know what happens at Tamaki College when we do P.E? I thought so. When we play sports we have to listen to our tutors and follow their instructions. Think carefully with what you say and do. And remember to participate in whatever sports you play. When you participate never give up. Always strive to the end and do the best you can. And maybe you can achieve your goals too.  And try your hardest and never give up . So...... just believe in yourself .

Cyclone Lusi.

Do you know what a cyclone is ?. Well a cyclone is like a tornado and a hurricane. But... a cyclone is worse than a tornado and a hurricane. You see a cyclone is a  bad damage kind of wind. It is with all sorts of bad things. Like.... powerful wind, some powers were cut off, A huge pour of rain and dark clouds. Some people were not expecting this cyclone.

In the weekend the cyclone was coming. Oh boy I was so scared. During the cyclone there will be rubbish flying everywhere and powers been cut down too. Also things can get tangled while the cyclone. There is also damage to heaps of buildings and there is a lot of huge waves. SOME families might get evacuated from their own home to move to a safer place. SO that there will be no harm to anyone.  

As soon as my mum said “there is going to be a cyclone”. I got so afraid . I was fighted. I started running around my house like and idiot who does not know what she is doing. I started yelling at my mother to pack some food and fill some bottle with water. And make sure that you are safe and sound wherever you are secured. DO not let a child out of your sight.

Then my mum and dad said calm down. I was panicking like I was going to have a heart attack. The thing is when something bad happens to my family or people who are part of my family I would really cry for everything. So.. do not be like me. Seriously do not be like this kind of girl who is 11. Crazy eh. I feel so embarrassed right now. But who cares I will get over it. Hopefully.

The possibilities that could of happened in the cyclone would be..... power outages and maybe some deaths or accidents too. I thought my life was going to be gone. But it was not. So that was good for me. Oh and my family. There must be no school as well. I was looking forward to school. To learn more new things about

But as soon as it was fine to go to school on Monday. And some awful damage to some houses. I feel sorry for those houses. I just want to donate some money for those house to rebuild their houses. In courage those people whose house. And be polite to them if they have had a lost. You never know if they still feel bad about this cyclone. So please be nice do not criticize them about it. Its not there fault its the cyclone that did it.

To prepare for a cyclone you need to secure objects outside in case they fly around and you never know if someone gets hurt. Stay inside and keep safe. Store food and water in case you are stuck in a room for a reason. (I do not know). If your power has been cut off grab a radio with some batteries, candles, a torch and keep your pets safe as well. And stay in a safe place so that you will not get hurt during the cyclone.

In my house my windows were all open and wind was blowing through. As this gale of wind came through I suddenly closed the windows. Whew. That was so.. close. I thought it was just something that just happens normal in this world. But.. it was not . It was a cyclone of course. This is my first time being in a situation like a cyclone. I think that's why I panic all the time.
