Term 1 Reflections - 2013

Term 1 with our new teachers was awesome. It went by really fast because of all the cool activities we did along with FiaFia. Joshua Iosefo the famous Nz Poet visited our class last year. He then came back this year and worked with a group of children. A a lot of sport took part this team such as softball, cricket and a few more.

A group of students from our class made a student vs wild movie which was posted on this LINK. If you could please vote that would help us out a lot. Student vs Wild wasn't the only movie we made. We made a movie for ACC but unfortunately we didn't place.

This term was really cool because of all the performances that were held at assembly. The cook island drumming was extremely cool. Along with Mr Muliaumaseali’i that came from london to sing some opera in front of us. The 60th FiaFia will be held in 2 days which is going to be awesome.

Every thursday/tuesday all the y7/8 students go down the Tamaki College to enjoy Graphics, Hard Materials and Cooking. If it wasn’t for Mr Grundy, Ms Heka and Mr Pehada then we wouldn’t have this experience. We leave school at 8:45 and come back to school at 10:45.

Overall term 1 has been awesome for me. Has it been for you?

Easter - 2013

Zoom as I hopped on the plane to head to the Gold Coast which is in Australia. The flight ended up taking 3 Hours and by then I was super tired. As I got off the plane at Coolangatta a Women came up to me and said Marvin!!!!!!! At that point I didn't know who it was until my grandma said it’s your mother. I didn't recognize her, the last time I lived with my mother was when I was 3 years old.

It hit friday morning when suddenly my grandma told me about the story of Easter when Jesus was pinned to a cross and ended up dieing and coming alive on the sunday that was to come. Instead nowadays we have chocolate eggs called Easter eggs. Christians celebrate Easter because Jesus resurrected from the dead.

On Easter sunday we ended up going to Water world because they were having some sort of carnival thing. There were competitions, Easter egg shops and much much more. After riding on a lot of rides and eating Easter bunny’s finally made me tired. Walking out the gates soaking wet ready to head home.

Little did I know bunches of Easter eggs were waiting for me at home. Instead of eating all of them I decided to eat about 3. It eventually ended up being Wednesday morning at about 4:00am. It was time to go back to Aotearoa/New Zealand. I got home at 7:00am and finally I could have a good sleep.
