Bye bye school holidays

Goodbye holidays and hello SCHOOL!!!

The life of my brother - Fa‘afetai

When he was  a little kid he was really shy and he didn t know what to expect . When he and the family came from Samoa to New Zealand, at first he thought , "It will  be good, " but soon he would learn that it wasen‘t that easy to adapt into this new inviormant. So my family try to fit in at work, because my dad had to rush back to get him ready for school, but it got harder and harder for him to go work come back, so he retired his job of being a part time worker to take care of him. Ever since he retired he has been driving him around for work, he says work is fun because he gets to talk to people who really understands him,so yeah you meet people like me that really want to fight freedom of choice. Thats what our family tort him.

Ways to make kindness go viral

Helping the homeless ( Giving $2 to the homeless could change there life )

Doing the chores ( Doing the chores means less for your parents, now they can rest and so can you there is nothing else to do )

Looking after your pet ( When you look after your pet it means he/she will feel loved and being cared for also, it means you are taking charge and being responsible )

Making time ( Making times doesn't really approve but, making time means time with family and loved ones, you could do many kind things for them during that special time )

Baby sitting ( Looking after your baby nez/nefu or baby brother/sister or baby cousins )

A special kindness card ( Making a card and saying something kind about that person could make there day even more special )

I love you ( Telling and showing that you love your family can make them feel loved safe and cared for even more )

Be helpful ( Don't just help with the chores in the house, also do some chores outside the house like, learn how to mow the lawn )

Doing some homework ( Sometimes your mum or dad would ask you to do some homework and then you can go outside and play with your friends, I suggest doing as they say to do because, when you do your homework in the holidays you improve more and more )

Be KIND ( Be kind by doing some of these things or be more creative and do something more, go out of the box and be kinda-mental )

School ends today😎

Today was the last day of this term. The year 7 did a lot of amazing stuff today like, art and cooking.
For the arts people we created some signs to represent a movie we watched, it is called Boys2men. They also did some flower art, I do not know what it was called but it looked beautiful. For the cooking crew we made some pasta mince and cheese, it was delicious some Yr 7s had four plates of it. We also had with the food some coke and the once we had all that we all had one pear each. It was the best Yr 7 experience I have ever had. Our teachers leading us in this were Ms M, Ms Clark and Matuawillas.

After all those fun and amazing task, we finally packed up cleaned up the entire street and grabed our bags, some left and took there chromebooks, and gave some chocolate out to everyone. Once all the heavy work was done, we sat down and relaxed for a little while and we had a little korero with
Ms M then left off for our last assembly for this term. We said our goodnyes and said thank you to the teachers gave them a great big hug and then started walking off knowing that once we get home we could kick off and relax.

Ofcource the Yr 8s just as we were leaving just returned, every Yr 7 were so happy to see them again.
( To be honest it wasn't the same without our Yr 8s around. )

Have a happy, safe and kind HOLIDAY!!!😎😎😎😃😃😃😎😎😎

Sick at home

Sick at home

Today is the 11th of April and I am stuck at home sick with a fever and a headache. I gotta say I really don’t like being sick, because it keeps me away from school which means I miss out on a lot of learning and, I miss out on my friends. The thing that I miss mostly at school is my friends, there are seven of them these are there names, Roimata, Alisha, Dezarae, Aysha, Cameo, Talita lastly she is the most funniest most greatest most fobbest of them all, Inez ( Too be honest she is my cousin. )

We play all these cool games at morning tea and lunch like, we run around, play basketball, master, I dare you and all those other cool games with hoops and running in it, and we also talk about many things like, what we did last year, what might happen next term, we make fun of each other ( In a good way. ) Lastly we tell secrets, secrets that we can not tell anyone about.

I cannot wait to get back to school tomorrow.
