Book Week in my Glenbrae School

This week was Book Week. There was a play performed  in our school hall on Tuesday.

The play was about a Treasure Hunt that has been written by Craig Christie. 

There were two tribes living on an island. These two tribes blamed each other for stealing each others song.

The Treeland tribe was led by George and the Seaview Tribe was led by Jessica. These two characters teamed up to solve the problem about the lost treasure that was their song. 

The problem was solved when they were able to put the torn map together and work out how to get the treasure. They had to read three different books to solve the problem.

I really enjoyed this play because both the characters were very smart and talented. They song very well and were also hilarious.

Thank you Sam and Lydia for coming to our school. m, I hope to see you again next year.

The Best Mass I've ever gone to

In the weekends my family and I went to a mass to represent mt.wellington church. We changed in to our Tongan clothes & went in our fast van. We arrived at the church and sat next to our church members. A few moments later the mass started and my church had to sing . We sang calmly and beautifully. An hour later the mass was over. As soon as I got outside of the church, I saw a lot of familiar people. I had lots of fun meeting new friends and a lot of family members. After that we went inside the hall to eat. I looked inside the hall and straight away started to drool. I saw lots of delicious food like, huge peach cakes, fresh prawns, cheesy pizzas and BEST OF ALL SUSHI. Since I was so hungry I snatched a plate and got all the delicious foods and munched it all up. When I was full I took one of my church member to the playground. She was a little girl and her name was Amelia. We played on the slide, the monkey bars, the flying fox and and especially the swing. Amelia and I were sweating so we decided to go back. Finally my family and I went back home and went to sleep. Myself had a blast and I hope could go again next time.

Saving a Kangaroo

  Saving a Kangaroo

We were all happily sitting under the kauri tree, when Mason and I saw a kangaroo hopping out of the bush. Pinomi and Ali-Jon saw it, then went close to it. The kangaroo was hopping, suddenly a big vicious dog came and was chasing the dog everywhere.

Pinomi and Ali-Jon felt sad so they went and helped the kangaroo. Ali-Jon grabbed a tree branch and started whacking the dog. Pinomi was just watching and cheering Ali-Jon on.

Me and Mason went to go help Ali-Jon so we went with dog food and fed it til it was fat as possible. As soon as the dog was fat, me and Mason used our big muscles and lifted the dog up and through it in the bush.

Finally we led the kangaroo back to its home and gave it a snack. Ali-Jon was relieved that the big dog didn't eat his head off. Me and Mason went back home and slept for our next big journey. THE END
