What it's like to be a Tongan??

What it's like to be a Tongan is amazing because you have so many families that stick up for you, I am grateful and proud of being a Tongan. Even though there are nasty stereotypes about Tongans I don't really care and also I know they aren't true. I love being a Tongan so much because we eat so much PIG!! YUM YUM!! Seeing most of the kids in our school dress up into Tongan clothes even though they were Samoans and Fijians they still got dressed in Tongan clothes, I was so grateful. 

Sometimes it is hard for me to be a Tongan sometimes because their are certain rules for Tongans that they are suppose to follow and never break.

• One of the rules are that you are never allowed in your Brothers room.
• Another rule is that you aren't allowed in the same room as your brother that is disrespectful.

We had the most coolest Tongan day ever! The reason why because we were one big family in the hall having one massive feed just like what us Tongans do with our families!

I LOVE BEING A TONGAN!
MALO AUPITO!!

Growth Mindset

This is what I have been doing in class this whole morning! I have been creating my own growth mindset poster, if you want to see original please click here. When you go on the site, then scroll down to see the original poster. I have been creating this because of most of our behaviours on Friday wasn't that good and we were compared to things that weren't so great but now everyone agreed to be RESPECTFUL to others such as ourselves!

SO JOIN US AND BE GROWTH MINDSET!! 

Jesus the Model Teacher

My DLO is showing what kind of Teacher Jesus was back then. My DLO also helps me with my reading, it enables me to think deeper into what I am reading to understand what the reading/scripture is about. Just because we read fluently and just because we know how to pronounce the words doesn't mean we know what we are actually reading.

3 Interesting facts about Pope Pius X

This is my writing that I have been working on this evening, I have been doing a lot of research about Pope Pius just to refresh my mind. I have completed my facts as you can see, these facts aren't just original information it is important facts/information about Pope Pius.

The Everyday Show!

The Everyday show was an amazing life teaching act, well first of all I really liked how they acted in each scene they did it was awesome! 

The last thing I admire is when they said that Pacific Islanders have the most rates of being the most awesome actors & actress.

Ned Show!!

THE NED SHOW!!

Be Smart online!

I have learnt so many things today! I’ve learnt extraordinary and terrifying things about cyber bullying. I was told by a well know person, Constable Gordon.

Just because you can hack, delete all the things that you weren't suppose to post, still means their is a consequence for all actions.

What is Digital Communication?

Digital communication is communicating with others on different social media.

I was afraid of many things he was telling us when you're 14, and you are still cyberbullying then you could be taken to court immediately, you would either pay $500,000 or would spend 2 years in jail, if you do something small you cut down your fine to $200,000.

I was worried when I heard Constable Gordon tell us about how we say things without thinking about it in our heads, but on digital communication you have a lot of time thinking about what to say, I was worried because I instantly knew that the things he was saying were similar to me! When I heard it I felt disgusted of myself, I was always thinking of being the coolest but I didn’t really think twice about just being myself online and off.

The part that really got me was when New Zealand, was founded the most suicide country in all this world.

The Trolls

The stars in the sky are shining, brightly and beautifully. “Shhh, please can you be quiet?  I am trying to sleep.” “Ohh please Branchy can I just sing one more song??” “Uhhhh... nope!!” “Fine then” 4 seconds later, BOOM! Lalalalala, When I was singing my friends from the forest started singing along, they are the reason why & how the forest got its name. Then out of nowhere my friend Stewart (he is hilarious) went on Branch and he looked then my brother furiously flicked it off. I wasn’t surprised at all because he was mostly grumpy! I was singing my heart out just to change his mind. I tried everything to convince him but he kept on his furious face, when I finished I thought I saw a smile but it wasn’t I just noticed it was an evil smirk.

When I finished singing with my friends, I went directly with my ukulele and finished off with a riff I made up. Guess what he wanted to play my ukulele, so I handed it to him with happiness and said, “Go on, play it” so he grabbed it and said, “Thank you very much, I want to do something” I was over filled with joy,happiness ohhh my, there are so much to describe I was so happy I finally changed his, huuhh, he suddenly chucked my ukulele into the fire and I stood there watching my precious ukulele burn to death, then he finally said, “So I can do that!, now go sleep!” My mouth dropped so low it felt like a stone was in my mouth, while my brother was having  good night sleep I was sitting there having a memorial for my precious ukulele.

My Experience at Retreat!!

My experience at retreat was amazingly awesome, I really loved my time there because I had a chance to get closer to others who I weren’t really close to. I really enjoyed the activities that Brother Philip had prepared for us that evening, also I really enjoyed my time there because I had laughing moments, sad moments, angry moments and silly moments too.

My most favorite part of the retreat was the treasure hunt, it was fun and a little bit soaky. It was funny because we had to hold on a brown long paper, and if we let go then we were disqualified from the treasure hunt. It was funny because we kept on ripping the brown paper, but when it started to rain we were saved because Brother Philip thought that the rain was the reason why our brown paper broke but really? :) the most annoyingest part of the treasure hunt was when my group & I had to run all the way to the mailbox which was all the way in the front where the entrance was, and it was kind of creepy cause we never knew if someone was driving up but we kept on looking back in case.

My group was Sini,Paul & Rosrine, we were the first group to finish our treasure hunt. I was excited cause we had to do a skit for the class and Brother and also Mr Coakley and Mrs Tui to see.

Anyways the reason why we went to the retreat at St Francis is because it was our time to show our leadership and learn how to be a great role model for others.

Well that was my experience hoped you enjoyed and read more next time or stay in tune for my next post!!!

My Experience at Te Oro!!!

My experience at Te Oro was amazing. I really liked meeting and greeting others to me or my classmates. I also really enjoy having little talks with the special people that attended the art gallery & much more. I  really want to thank the people for making us feel

welcomed, and also for letting us do anything we want in able for us to understand how it works and much more.

Trip to the Cathedral!!!

What I liked about this part was when we walked through the door of Mercy. I enjoyed my time their because I learnt a lot about other priests and other Saints as well. Also I really enjoyed learning about the door of Mercy and how it becomes from an original door to an Door of Mercy! That was fun!

Powhiri

Powhiri means welcoming ceremony.

Powhiri, Powhiri, Powhiri, isn’t that a beautiful word, well it is to me. You know other cultures having welcoming ceremonies too but in a different way and also in a different language. I could compare it to so many things, you do all sorts of things like singing, dancing you do speeches and finish off with a hug, kiss or hongi.

The appearance of the Powhiri is unspeakable, you can not tell details because it doesn’t have anything to describe in it, the only thing that I can tell details on is the people who do the speeches or the hongi and much more.

The Powhiri sounds like a cry in the beginning because they call out certain words, I could hear her say Haere Mai, but I couldn’t clearly hear what the rest was. I was told it was only performed by a lady so I knew it was a lady shouting out the cry. I could hear speeches going off and on, and it was taking about two or more minutes, I could also hear songs playing after every speech that was on.

I felt in the inside well to be honest I felt scared because I always thought that Maori’s were scary and stuff like that, but when we went they were generous & thoughtful. I also felt inside creeped because people kept on popping out of weird places, like the windows on the doors, they went pop, pop, pop!! I also felt a little bit hungry cause I didn’t really eat that much so I was starving like a pig that just got out of a fight for a whole day.

My Day Today!!

Well first of all

HAPPY LONG HOLIDAY EVERYONE!!!

Well I am having fun at home on an longer holiday,(NOT) so I woke up and started to write such as finish off my work. When I was finished I got up and ate breakfast well  most of the people in the house was sleeping, (as usual) Anyways I was eating weetbix, it was so delicious on an cold morning.

Meanwhile we were told to clean up so they could prepare breakfast for those who haven't ate yet, after all that cleaning and moving around things we did anything we wanted just for now, me, Sammy, Chanel were called to the hallway to help Ella clean it up and help her make space in their cause it was so squashed in there.

Back to my day after that we started to play and do anything we wanted to, we were going to go outside to play but we couldn't cause Freddy & Chanel couldn't they were sick. So me and Sammy tried all sorts of ways to go outside, but Freddy decided to follow us where ever we went. So when me and Sammy gave up we just started to sit down and watch tv. (As usual) When it was time to eat we all said pray and started to eat Freddy always says pray for us to eat.

Meanwhile we were talking and saying that we were going to watch a movie, but first we cleaned up, when it was cleaned up we had to wait for To'a to make brownies before we started to watch. After all of that we started to watch the movie the movie is called, 'Angry Birds' I loved watching the movie because it was funny, fun and interesting too. 

So after that we were told too go sleep so we brought our blankets and pillows too the living room and started to go sleep cause we were all tired cause of our day.

Thank you for reading my day today.

My Day Today!!

Today we went to church at GI, the church is owned by my school, St pius x school. After that we went to briscoes, the people that went was Leta, Nelcy & me. We went to go and replace one of the boxes that Leta recently bought yesterday, the thing that was missing inside was one cup so we had to repair or replace it before handing it over or keeping it. We had to go from the Manukau to Takanini for our shopping cause they ran out so they told us to go to Takanini cause they were selling some more of the things we needed to replace the set so yeah.

So after all that shopping we went to have lunch at ‘CARL’S JNR’ It was so nice we took photos. Anyways after that yummy feed we went straight home and started to clean up and guess what?............... we had the whole house to ourselves for about 6 or 8 hours, and it was fun we did anything we wanted too, especially make videos on an app, it was funny and fun at the same time.

Thank you for reading my story on what I did today!

Thank you.

Read for more tomorrow Thank you!!

My Day Today!!!!

I just woke up and started to finish off my work from yesterday, I was writing about what we did yesterday, to be honest with you I really enjoyed what my class did yesterday even though we didn’t perform it in front of the whole school cause some classes told Mrs Tui that they were doing something else so yeah, but I really enjoyed doing the Samoan dance, also I really enjoyed learning the dance. Our Awesome instructor Alecia was teaching me and the girls in room 7 how to do the dance, I reckon she was a great teacher because when she wanted our attention she would scream and that’s how most instructors get their attention, but most girls just be like can I get your attention and leave but not Alecia.

Anyway back to my day, I just woke up brushed my teeth and washed my face, then went back to bed and went on my netbook cause it was cold as ice this morning.  Ella and Wayne was going with the two littles ones, Freddy & Nelcy, they also went with the oldest Robbie, they went to a meeting for Wayne, then after the meeting they were going to look for a volunteering job for Robbie. So we are stuck at home doing nothing but me on my netbook doing my work as usual. We are going to watch a movie called ‘Obey the Walrus’ well really it isn't a movie it’s just a short film that probably is scary well can’t wait to watch.  Now I have finished my story about my day thank you!

But their will be more tomorrow.

Thank you!!
