Clay iPhone

Just two days ago I started making my technology clay model, which is a iPhone. At first I found it difficult to make a iPhone out of clay, but then as I got started and kept going then I finally got the feeling that it was easy. Hours came, minutes and seconds and I still needed some more time to get it done. But in the end I still managed to finish it.

Goosebumps Book Study

A few days ago, room 11 done a book study about Goosebumps. The whole class divided into four groups, each group were told to make a presentation about the Goosebumps Book. When we had eventually finished our presentation we moved on to planning, drawing, colouring and dry fitting everything. After we've dry fitted them, the next thing we had to do, was to stick and glue all the Goosebumps items on. Our Goosebumps Book Study had to be handed in by Friday, lucky us we finished today.

Going to the pools

On Saturday I went to the Swimarsma pools at Panmure with my girl cousins. It was so fun because we were swimming at the pools from 11:00 to 2:30. I really enjoyed swimming with my cousins, and I'm so glad we got to go to the pools. I hope we get another chance to go some other times. 

Touch Rugby Lessons

Today room 11 had our last touch rugby lesson, with the coach Trevor.

He taught us some touch rugby lessons, and got us to play some really cool and fun games. My favorite games were the Rabbit and Rat game. And the Passing balls game. When I was playing these games I laughed so hard that my belly button was sore, because it was so fun. Thanks to Trevor for being such a kind man, and for willing to come and teach us.

Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter

I’m inspired by Beyonce, and Beyonce's songs. I admire some of her lyrics, because it touches me in the heart, and I sometimes cry listening to it. Whenever I listen to her songs in relaxes me, and makes me feel free. There is many ways to describe the way I feel about Beyonce, but there is one special thing I would always say about her. I’d say that, I like her so bad. I won’t ever be through with that, because honestly she turned out to be the best person I ever known.

Visiting my sister at the hospital

Yesterday my family and I went to visit my older sister at Auckland Hospital who was giving birth to her second child. We took some food along with us to feed my aunt, who was taking really good care of my sister. We stayed at the hospital and waited for my sister to give birth. It took a long time for her to give birth, and we waited for ages, but all that matters is that her and her baby are  really happy

Drop, Cover, Hold

During our spelling activity, the shake out earthquake bell rang, and we all knew that we had to drop, cover, hold and get under the desks. It was pretty fun because while we were under the desks Elaine, Maranatha and I played a little game called rock, paper, scissors. It was really comfortable under the desk, and everyone was safe.      Image link

The planet VENUS

In this image is a planet called Venus. Venus is the second nearest planet to the sun. It’s almost as large as the earth. The clouds are always covering the planet of Venus. The clouds are made from tiny drops of acid. Human beings can’t breathe the air of Venus because it is poisonous, and if you do then you’ll die. The sun’s heat passes through the clouds and it’s trapped on the surface. Trapped heat makes Venus the hottest planet. Any kind of item that is landed Venus gets zinc and melted. Venus is made of rocks from volcanoes, and the surface is covered with lava. Which melts the any type of object.    The image link

I will make the athletics team

There is going to be a lot going on this term, so I will have to work as hard as I can to be able to succeed, because I feel like I didn't work as hard as I should in the last three terms. The one thing I am looking forward to the most, is athletics.

I've never been on the athletics team, but I've always wanted to be in it. I will have to work and practice hard to be a faster runner. I'll do my best to make the team, and if I don't, well at least I tried my best.

Supporting the Tongan team

Last weekend the Rugby World Cup 2015 started, so my sisters, my mum and I decided that we should go out for breakfast at FORTUNA to support the the Tongan team, ( ‘Ikale Tahi ) and we did. The breakfast was really delicious and the Tongan team was a pretty cool team, although they lost their first match against Georgia and I was a bit disappointed, but I know they’ll try better next time.

       

My brave dad

My dad is someone special and someone that I really admire, he’s a strong person.My dad has been through a lot of hard moments, but he is very lucky because he has survived through it. My dad means a lot to me and I’d even die for him. If he dies there won’t be any points of living life without having a dad that kisses me at night and put me to sleep, look after me and love me. Dad had some tough moments in the past, like this other time he broke his right ankle, but he still managed to get up to take me to school, he still managed to go to our family events, church and school events and he could still managed to get up and cook food for me, when my mum was busy at work. It got to the moment that he was really sick and had to spend two months,  at the hospital, but he survived through it because he is brave. My dad is one of a kind he is my love and my hero. I thank god everyday for giving me the best and loving dad that any kid would ask for. I love you dad!

I want to meet Beyonce

My favourite person in the whole world is Beyonce, because she is awesome and she is a role model for her fans and especially for her child. Beyonce is a great example for her fans, and she tells us to always follow our dreams, and listen to our heart because it will lead us to happiness.

If I ever meet this beautiful woman it would just be a breathtaking and unbelievable moment. Beyonce is someone I can look up to. She is one lucky lady that will always be in my favourite people list.

Shopping with my aunty

We got in the car and took off. My aunty told me that we were going to Pak N Save to get some baking ingredients for her daughter’s 21 birthday on Friday. We stopped by Mcdonald's to get something to eat on our way.

I was so excited because I love to bake and decorate cakes but then she told me that we were not going to bake the cake until Thursday night. Dream shattered. But, I still had fun.
