The All Blacks

***Once in a life- time***

On the 23rd October 2011 everyone everywhere was preparing for a once in a life- time game at Eden Park. While the players were preparing for their game my family and I hopped in the car and drove away as quickly as we could into the city.

Once we were there we saw streets packed with mountains of people more than I have ever seen in my life. Everyone was drinking, screaming and having a lot of fun. I was walking around with my head in the clouds watching everyone in amazement but my fun ended when my mum pulled me closer to her so I wouldn't get lost.

The game was about to begin and my family and I quickly ran to the bar so that we wouldn't miss a second of the exciting game live.

They started of with a national anthem from France then it was New Zealand. You could hear everyone singing the national anthem with France and New Zealand. It was emotional!
Then came the best bit of all (The Haka), I loved the way they performed with pride and strength and it was the best part for me.

New Zealand started the game off with a kick and within a heart-beat the All Black players were racing off just to catch that small ball. The players were trying their best to play using all their strength. They were like lightning strikes zooming right out of the sky. I loved the way the two teams played against each other with strength instead of anger.

Well that was until the next World Cup occurs. My favorite part of the game was the haka and always the haka. The All Blacks have brought the Webb Ellis Cup back home. I am really proud of the way New Zealand All Blacks played.

Boring Testing Weeks!

Bored is what I feel when it is testing week.
I feel really bored when it is testing week because we have to sit in our chair for more than 30 minutes. Testing is really, really boring when you are not allowed to talk to your friends when you are finished. I am so greatful for the tests that the school gives us because it shows us where we are and what we have to improve on. Also these tests are good for us because they show us what we need to learn for the future.
I think testing weeks are really, really boring but I also like it because it helps us learn for the future

My Fantastic Mum

My mum’s name is Exeter and she is also from Tuvalu. My mum is a great and lovely person. She always try her best to make money to feed the whole family. She cares a lot for people. If we had a family member that had nowhere to live she would welcome them in with a beautiful smile. That’s how loyal she is to our family. If my sisters or I had a school situation she will find a way to solve the problem because she wants us to have a good education, a good job and a great life when we grow up . My mum is a very busy lady but she always tries to find time to spend with us. If we had no food to eat she would go to the bank and take out money even if she hadn’t paid her bills. Shell take the money out and make sure that we have delicious food to eat. My mum has a lot of special qualities. My mum influences me in a lot of things. She tells us that school is important and that we should never miss a day of school because it would ruin our life when we grow up. My mum also tells me that learn really hard in school because when you grow up you will have successful job. I love my mum really much for what she does for our family. Thank you for your reading what I have to say about my special mum.

*Tamaki has Talent*

On the 23rd September 2011 Tamaki Intermediate had a wonderful school assembly. The Bollywood group, choir, and the Tongan Trip students performed in front of the whole school.To begin the assembly we had a few simple songs. We sang “Swing Low” and “Drum of the Islands”. We sang so beautifully that I think the angels might have been singing with us.Then it was time that the Bollywood group performed. When they started the crowd went quiet focusing on the amazing moves of the dancers.They were appealing.Next up, was the Tongan Trip girls. They performed such a welcoming performance.While they were getting ready the choir sang a staggering song. They sang “Sipiao”. What a incredible song.Then it was time for the Tongan Trip boys. They began to dance and the crowd went wild. More wonderful dances were performed. They brought the roof down.Once again the choir sang another song. They sang “Bring it all Back”. It made me feel happy because they sang in such a proud manner.

My Favourite Subject!

My favorite subject would definitely be Physical Education. I like Physical Education because it helps us get healthy and it boost's up my confidence in playing sports. Also it is a great opportunity to get to know your classmates.Another reason is because Physical Education helps us get fit and healthy for future events and it helps us last longer. I enjoy having Physical Education because we get to play different education games that help us learn.
