Science Roadshow (Tamaki College)

As I entered the school gates, I saw my class in the hall. So when I went in I saw a coach and my class, I finally clicked and knew that it was Ripper Rugby! So as I walked in Mrs. Tui told me to go and hang my bag. So I went with 2 of my classmates that came late with me.

As I entered the hall I went and sat down with my mates. I had to go and get me a belt but I could not find one  so Caroline gave one.

I had to go on but there was no point of me going on because I do nothing. I was in the yellow team with the rest of the boys.

After Ripper Rugby we stayed under the shelter while Mrs. Tui’s was sorting out the groups to go to Tamaki. I was with Caroline, Stanley, Alecia & Malia.

On our way there we made a little stop to Malia’s house to give her sister money. When we left to Tamaki me and Stanley were talking.

When we arrived at our destination, we saw Room 5 & Room 7 standing in 2 lines waiting for a sign that we could enter the auditorium.

Mrs. Middleton told us to walk quietly, she also guided us to there. As we reached the auditorium we were standing there waiting in 2 straight lines.

A while later we could enter the auditorium. As I was walking I got stopped by my teacher (Mrs. Tui) because someone (Not going to mention) told Mrs. Tui that I pushed him & that I hurt his knee. I knew it wasn't true because people from the back were pushing me.

So after the disaster I entered the auditorium, I saw the exhibition and people standing at the back of a desk. I had to go sit on the left side because there was no more space.

After all the talking and stuff we had to go and look around. The first thing I went to was Body Parts along with Caroline. Antonio (Explainer) helped us.

After that we found a card which told us all the things which we have to go and find out. I got 2 which I learnt, it was 'Centre of Mass' & 'Changing Pendulum'.

After all of our fun experience at the Science Road show we had to go. At first Room 5 had to leave first then Room 7. All of Room 7's rides came quick except for my group! We stood under the shelter freezing like crazy!

Finally our ride came! We all ran into the car and shut the door. Lucky for us the heater was on. When we went school I ran into class it was so warm but at the same time I was hungry!

That was the best Road show that I have seen so far! I wish to go there again...

THE END...

Technology 2016 (Wood Tech)

I really enjoyed going to technology because I explored and learnt a lot of new things such as a cope saw & many more other things. Our teacher we had for wood was Mr. Winter. He is a very respectful and trustworthy man. He has taught us a million things about wood tech although at points I was naughty & points I was excellent.
I really am grateful for what Mr. Winter has done for us. He has shown us how to carve & be creative. I really like going tech every Tuesday because their I will learn a lot of good things!

My Holidays!

Isn’t going to the pools fun, but except on a rainy day were only the indoor pools are open, not outdoor pools!

I was not in luck or maybe I should say my whole family was not in luck! We imagined it to be a nice hot burning day full of kids & water splashing around, but instead we got a day full of rain, less kids & hardly water splashing around.

We couldn’t be ungrateful so we had to make the most of it.

It was so cold during my sleep so I put all the blankets on me. During that awful sleep my mum woke me up she said, “Sammy, Hurry up because we need to go!” So my eyes was slightly opening but I knew we had to hurry up because we needed to buy snacks & pick up the kids from Otara.

So I got out of bed grabbed my towel and rushed to the bathroom. I done all my business in the bathroom so I got out and picked out some clothes to go with. I quickly got ready then out the door I go.

On our way to Otara we stopped by Pakn’ Save to buy some snacks. We got all the stuff that all the girls liked and some of the boys. After Pakn’ save we went shooting off to Otara.

All the boys were ready o my mum and Kayla swapped cars. We had the van and Kayla had our car. While we were in the van driving to YMCA Pools we were shouting and talking so then my mum said that whoever talks will stay out of the pools for 5 minutes with her.

So when we arrived at the pools my mum and Genevieve told us to say in the car so they can go check if it was open. Once they came back to us Genevieve was laughing because they planned to prank us. When Genevieve came into the car she said to us, “Hahahaha we botz d it, its closed hahahahaha!” Everyone was throwing a tantrum until my mum came in the car and said, “Hurry up, everyone get out of the car if you want to swim!” So we all rushed out of the car and grabbed the stuff from the boot. When we got in the entrance the lady that was serving us was surprised, because she thought that it was only my mum and Genevieve swimming.

We asked the lady if the outdoor pool was open but she said, “No sorry.” We were okay with it. So anyways, we jumped in the pool, the thing was that there was less people. It kept going less, less, less & more less!

A few hours after that we were feeling hungry.The thing was that if we went out of the pool we have to go shower, get changed & sit with my mum until the hours are done. So we were moaning until my mum said, “ okay then, you guys can just rinse yourself then come eat for a little bit.

After minutes of eating, we had to go rinse ourselves again. We hopped in the pool, next thing you know there was water splashing everywhere! I hated it, because my brothers kept ganging up on me and Kalo! So I suddenly used my brain and went to hide in the corner with a paddleboard in my hands, covering my face. Too bad for Kalo because she was getting splashed on her face!

After another hour we were getting tired so we asked Fredrick if we could get out of the pool to go home. He was saying, “NO!,NO!,NO!” so we all sighed. Next thing you know, my cousin told me to go to the deep pool.

So when we went to the deep pool, my cousin wanted a glide challenge who can go the forest. You probably know who won! (It was my cousin!)

So anyways, after that Fredrick decieded to leave. So we hopped out of the pool and first we rinsed ourselves. We walked to the showers, so the boys in one group and the girls in one group!

We had to try and have a guick shower so we can go and eat somewhere... Once we finished showers we got changed and went out. My mum & Genevieve decieded to eat somewhere so someone from the boys shouted out, "ON THE MOUNTAIN!". We obviusly agreed with them. So my mum drove up.

On our way up the mountain it was kind of scary because a quarter of us in the car were afraid of heights!When we reached the top we took out our speaker and started blasting music. 

We decieded to take photos on the top of the mountain. We wanted to send it to Robertanna because she was on her Europe Tour! Anyways, when we walking up the mountain some of them slipped and fell! We couldn't stop laughing! 

Anyways after all that fun we headed home, but before home we went to McDonalds to buy us some smoothies & Ice Cream! We gave a lot of kisses and hugs for my mum for taking us out!

That was probably the best day ever, spending time with the family!! I wish to do that again...

Mothers Day Letter!

Mothers are the most specialist people on earth. They sacrifice everything for you! They also have the most passionate hearts!

My astonishing mother's name is Alisi Telefoni. She has the most kindest heart any mother could have. She is a lady that has a humble heart. She is the most grateful mother anyone could ever have in the world. She has 2 Siblings, Ana Telefoni & Mikaela Moa, but sadly Ana Telefoni has left the earth to go to heaven to Rest in Peace. So my mum is left with one breathtaking sister. My mum divorced when I was 7 years old, she is the lady that doesn't need a man to make her feel  good because she has her family by her side forever. I forgot to tell you her parents names it is, Kalolaine Aline Telefoni & Viliami Tesmale Telefoni. I have never met my pa but I know and heard a lot of amazing things about him, and there is left with nena who I grew up with and sadly left the earth to heaven on 22nd May 2014.  Back with my mum, she is everything to me, there is never a time where I can get her off my mind. She is up at 3:00 making money for us. She is such a hard working mum!She has long black hair, she smells like a rare rose, she is around 6 foot, has big brown eyes and a tongan descent. She is the ultimate warrior and I can’t forget to tell you that she is so over protective! She is the most funniest person on earth, whenever I try and hold a grudge to her she always has to make me laugh. She drives me nuts, and sometimes it goes over the limits and I feel like I wanna run away from home, but I have to always remember that how much she is sacrificing for Viliami and I. My mum is my one and only appealing angel. I appreciate everything she has done. I have been doing some really dumb things in the past, that even I can't even forgive myself for! My mum is strong enough to forgive me… No one in the world will ever replace her! I don't care if she is a unicorn, dog, horse, cow or vampire she is still my mother! My love for her is so unconditional! She has supported me since day 1 until now! The reason I believe, “Love at First Sight” because the 1st day my eyes opened I fell in love with her!

She is the best thing that has ever happened to me! Love you mum!
