I am learning to describe my favourite thing.

My favourite hobbies are singing and playing the guitar. Playing the guitar makes me happy, different tunes dance in my mind. Playing the guitar make me calm.  I strum my guitar up and down. Lightly strumming I pick up lyrics. Sitting on my bed, I start singing. I can sing all day but not all night. Sometimes I can imagine myself standing on a stage and playing my song. I started loving playing guitar when my dad taught me how to play. I will always treasure this talent.

Triduum Celebration

Triduum Celebration.

In Religious Education I have been learning about the Triduum Celebration.

The Fire represents the light of the world.

The Bible represents the liturgy of the word.

The water represents the life of the world. 

Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day

Happy mothers day mum! I know this isn’t much but I

hope it’s enough. I just wanted to write this letter to you so that you could read it when you’re feeling low, or in times when you forget how much love and support you have. I want to thank you mum for helping me become the young girl I am today; I know that I would not gotten to where I am now without your support and life lessons.

I know sometime we have our fall outs,but we always overcome those hiccups. At times I know that I can be a hassle, a bit ho ha’a and act like a spoilt brat but you always seem to love me no matter what. Mum, I want you to know that through the dramas that have happened within the family lately, the love the family have for you will never change. The family know that we are so lucky to have such a caring mum like you, though at times it does seem a bit tough, but we couldn’t ask for anyone better.

I wouldn’t want to ask for anyone else. You are my mum, my confidant, the one I go to when I am in times of trouble, when I just need a hug and when I need some wise advice. I love how we have our little talks about nearly everything, and sometimes it does feel that only we understand each other. Another year passes, so does another mothers day, but my love and gratefulness unto you, never will. I appreciate you as my mother and how lost I would be if you were not my backbone.

From the comforts of your home cooking, to your yelling in the house, no one can do what you do, and therefore you are irreplaceable in my eyes. Mum you have kept our family together through the roughest patches we could imagine, and you are still here, keeping strong. I look up to you mum, you are the strongest women I know.

Mum, you are a prestigious women and you have a very resilient husband by your side, who loves you above and beyond the love all us kids imagine. Remember that you are a part of a pair, so when you feel tired or beaten down; he is there to pick up the pieces. You are a strong women, we all know that, but you don’t always have to be, that is why you have the wonderful husband you have. I love you mummy, and don’t forget that. Ofa Lahi Atu

Soul Friend lunch.

Soul Friend

After practising the high jump the lunch bell went and Room 7 went to get their lunch and they returned back to the field. Room 5 came to the field and they sat down beside us. Everyone shared and enjoyed each others meals. We laughed and giggled so much that we couldn’t even eat all our lunch. My Soul Friend Analei was upset and she didn’t eat anything and I was very worried, but when everyone started going to play that when she started to eat, apparently she doesn’t like to eat then people surround her. Mrs Tui was taking photos of everyone having fun.

Triathlon

Today marks our second day of our Triathlon fitness. On the first day we met Bret, Adrian, Lance and Blair. As we walked to the field the sun shone on our faces’. Room 7 and 6 go to the Triathlon fitness together.

Our first day at the Triathlon fitness we were not sure on what to do, but now we do. Room 7 started off with Bret and Lance, they had put out some flags in each different corner around the area we were in and Bret told us to run around the flags. Bret put some objects in the area of the flags and Bret demonstrated on what we were doing, when it came up to my turn I felt like I needed to run as fast as I could so that I don’t let my team down. When I finished I had to catch my breath because my throat was dry.

After we had finished up our time with Bret and Lance we went to Adrian and Blair and rode the bikes. Sefesi and Ezra just came and they both didn't know what to do, so the girls started off. We all chose a bike and we put the helmets next to them, then we ran I felt confident in myself, we ran around the tree and ran back to the bike and put our helmets on and rode around the field, I rode the bike and I felt so happy. Next it was the boy’s turn and I came and sat down and catch my breath. We all waited till the boy’s finished and we all returned back to class.

Wednesday is the last day and it was the day that everyone was going to get WET!!. Everyone brang spare clothes and togs. Room 7 and 6 went to the field after line up and everyone couldn't wait to go on the slide, room 6 girls started then the girls went on the slide it looked like it was very slippery, they went on the slide four times, then went on the bikes around the field once and they had to run around the field all wet and soapy.

Next was room 6 boys went, then room 7 girls went, I was ready to get wet. “Ready, Set, Go” said Bret, I jumped on my stomach and ran around the cones four times and I ran to the bikes and put my helmet on, rode around the field and I stopped and hopped off and I went to put the bike back to transition area and I ran as fast as I could and I got back and sat down with the other girls and I had to catch my breath. We went again, and again and I didn't notice that I got bruises on my leg. I said to the girls “That turned out to be cool” and they all agree. After we all received a certificate.
