My first day at school

On my first day at school, I did a lot of cool and different things with my classmates and my new teacher. First we had to write what we did in the holidays and explain what was the fun part about it.

Next we played some fun activities like the game clap, left and right and body parts. I had lots and lots and fun competing with my friends and laughing with them.

Then my teacher (Mr Nath) separated our class into little groups. In our little groups we had to write what respect self means. My group had lots of group discussions, participated well and had lots of good ideas. A few moments later we had to write what respect others meant . My group did a fantastic job and were mostly answering the questions.

After that we had our morning tea and played outside. A few minutes later we had SSR and drank our milk. When finishing our milk, our teacher(Mr Nath) explained to us how to keep your relationship with someone and how to make them happy . As he was explaining he told us to make a graphic about it. I grabbed all the blank papers and handed it out to everyone in my class. First we had to draw a big smiley face in the middle of the paper, write relationship on the top of it and then write words and sentences that make others feel happy.

Finally I rang the bell and got ready to go home. This was a fun first day of school and i'm looking forward to my first day of school next year.

Water Fun Day

Today Glenbrae school had Water Fun Day. Everyone was prepared to get wet and have fun. All the classrooms were at their first stations. There were 4 house colors. Kowhai (yellow) Kauri (green)Nikau(blue) and Rata (red).

A few minutes later Mrs Tofa rang the bell. Everyone filled there cups with water, sprinted to there rubbish bins and tipped there water inside. My classroom's first station was the water slide. Everyone went sliding down and as they were sliding, they got sprayed with water right on the face . When the bell rang again everyone stopped and went to there next station. The water slide was so fun and it made my pants very squishy.

Next we went to walk the plank. We had to walk on the wobbly plank without falling on the lava. When making it over the wobbly plank we fill up our cups and race to the rubbish bins. As soon as Mrs Tofa rang the bell again I quickly ran over the plank, filled up my cup and zoomed to the rubbish bins. Kowhai (yellow) was the leading team right now. There rubbish bin were getting filled with lots and lots of water. When Kowhai reached the top, our lovely principle Mrs Elia took a bucket and scooped some of there water out. 

As the bell rang everyone walked to their next stations. My classrooms next station was the spongebob wet pants. We got into our house lines and had to fill our sponge up with water. Mrs Tofa rang the bell and my classroom quickly had to pass the sponge over our heads or under our legs to the person at the back. As soon as everyone's sponges reached the last person, the last person for each house raced to there rubbish bins and squeezed as much as water they could into there rubbish bin. A few moments later the bell rang. The whole school were so tired and were soaking wet.

Finally we went to our last station, the zig zag. The last bell rang. Everyone raced for their lives and were tipping as much water as they could. 5 minutes later the whole school were sitting on the court soaking wet. The teachers were measuring the rubbish bins to see who had the most water inside. After they measured the bins, our principal Mrs Elia announced the winning house…….. KOWHAI. Kowhai came first , Rata came second and Kauri and Nikau came third and fourth.  

Kowhai had a awesome prize. They had free time swimming in the pool well everyone had morning tea. Everyone was so jealous that Kowhai got to swim in the pool. But then something amazing happened. Guess what the whole school got. We all got delicious ice blocks for participating in our school water fun day.

This was a fun and exhausting day. I can't wait until next years next water fun day.

Who am I

Malo Lelei, My name is Soane and I am 10 years old.  I am Tongan and I have a big family. I have 7 cool brothers including me, 5 beautiful sisters and my lovely parents. My dad is an engineer and my mum stays home babysitting my little brother, cooking and cleaning. My favourite food is pasta, butter chicken and curry. I like the colour red and golden and my favourite hobby in school is writing.

 The goals I need to achieve at school is to be an active listener and to be a better role model for others. I like participating in sports and also like spelling difficult words. My favourite sport I would say would be rugby union because the first rugby player that inspired me was Rieko Ioane and Beauden Barrett. 

I have lots of friends and my favourite teachers are Miss Smith and Mr Nath. They are both intelligent and have a great sense of humour. I have 2 favourite movie actors. The first one is  Dwayne Johnson from Jumanji and the second one is Chadwick Boseman from Black Panther. When I am older I would like to be a member of the All Blacks and to be a police officer. 

My favourite ice-cream is a mint chocolate chip and my favourite superhero is Night Crawler. I'm a big fan of soccer players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.Jr. Someday I would like to compete in world sevens and bump off at least 31 rugby players. I hope you learned a little bit of who I am. 

Waking Up

Waking up with a humongous yawn.

My mum is screaming at me to mow the lawn.

Rushing down with a huge jump.

Well jumping up with a loud thump.

My head is hurting, I’m feeling so dizzy.

I’m imagining myself drinking some fizzy.

I got up and went outside to have a stretch.

Afterwards I went to my cat and played fetch.

I went back inside to have something to eat

Some delicious and crunchy meat.

I went back outside and climbed a tall sized tree

A big diamond kite is waiting for me.

I reached out and snatched it with my right hand

I jumped off the tree and had a perfect land.

I went back inside and ate some more food

My lungs and my heart are in a sleepy mood.

My arms are weak and my legs are numb

My abs are floppy and my head is dumb.

I'm on my bed ready to sleep

My blanket is tucked in very deep.

I really want to go outside and  play

But my brain is telling me to sleep for the next day.

BOO!!

You would never guess what I did in the weekend. I stayed home and watched a lot of scary movies and well also eating some delicious butter popcorn. It was so terrifying and was a little bit funny at the same time. My whole family were getting tucked  into bed and ready to watch the first scary movie Don't Knock Twice. When the first scary scene came, I nearly  peed myself  and my brother next to me ran to the toilet as fast as he could.

Next we watched the second scary movie THE NUN. Everyone looked at the movie picture and thought in their

brains. This is going to be the scariest movie I've ever watched. Again when the first scary scene came, this time I jumped out of my bed and accidentally tripped and hit my head on to the floor. Everyone was laughing ,but I still didn't care.

This was the most scariest and funniest weekend I´ve ever had. I enjoyed watching the scary movies with my family and enjoyed laughing with them. I cannot wait until the next weekend to see what more funnier things might happen.
