Yesterday

Yesterday, after lunch time I had to go to the International Womans hospital to see my nan that has almost died of a heart attack but survived! When I left, I had to go to my cousins house in on Mascot Road. I mostly played GTA and played games online, as well as Fortnite. For dinner, we had pizza from Dominos! We got Pepperoni and Garlic Cheese. I don't like pepperoni pizza, its way too spicy. After eating, my cousins and I played Spotlight for what felt like 30 minutes.

REAL or FAKE

Is it Fake or Real

Big 4 In The Corridor

On The Weekend

On the weekend me, Terell and Jarrod went to the wharf and had a swim there we stayed for like 10 minutes and left to
Dunkirk we started talking to this boy
I didn't know him but Jarrod did.
We were talking about stuff like school. After he left,  me and
Terell and Jarrod played with these teenagers because they were
playing 3 second held. My team got all the points, I forgot the
points.After that we played kings ball it is like cricket because
when you kick or throw or even drop it they are meant to pick the
ball up and try and chuck it at me if they do that is one out. The
ball is meant to bounce in the square but if someone catches the
ball on a full then that person that kicked it of chucked it is out. If
you or the other team got 3 outs then you or the other team has
to swap over. My team won because we got 9 points and they
had 4 or 5. After all that we played 3 second held again this
teenaga got mad and started to punch this teenage girl because
she was humangis and because he ran straight into her. After
me, Jarrod and Terell left. THE END!

Te Wiki ō Te Reo o Tonga

Yesterday, I was at my cousin's house playing GTA, but
babysitting at the same time. It was quite boring because I
played almost all day. I was so tired, I hated it there because
my cousin would sit on her phone and go on Instagram and play
games while I babysat.

us their traditional Tongan arts. They told us about their

traditional patterns like this one.





Did you know if you type up Tongan patterns and you find the

bottom and you turn it upside down there will birds but if you

leave it you can see a fish. The top pattern Matua filipe said

“Theres alot of patterns” but no one knows because he never

 told us. He also told us about his traditional building.






This one he told us and said that he built by hand im pretty

sure and made many things but I can't find them. And after that

we had to stand up and line up for kapa haka straight when they finished.

After that we left to go back to class.

Rarangi Matihiko

Tōku pepeha

On Thursday the 4th of April, our akomanga Te Puna Wairua
in Tāmaki primary school did a thing called karetao (robots)
IMovie.
With two manuhiri.. (guest).
Their name was Whaea Waimiiria and whaea stacey.
They came from the Whare pupuri taonga (museum).
Both of them does one job so one would do karetao and
the one would do IMovie.
Whaea Waimiiria taught the year 4 IMovie and Whaea stacey
taught the year 5&6 karetao.
Me and my mates were doing karetao first and my other friend
were doing IMovie.
Then we switched and this is what it looks like.

I am a smart learner because i know what restricted sites are;

R18 means if you are 18 under you can't go on there but above 18 you can because it is bad it has swear words and violence more like that.

R16 mean if you go on and your lower that mean you can't go on it because it has bad stuff or scary stuff.

Last but not least R:20 don't go on to this page because it could have scary stuff or violence and more. What does Ma-Pg-Ga-Ao and M mean?. Well okay let start on Ma stand for Mature Audiences how old do you need to be well 15 years or older. Pg means Parental guidance slightly sexual abuse or exposed body parts. Ga means general audience what does it mean well audience of all ages from children to adult some programming is directing to adults because of some strong word like f**** words or b**** words. AO stands for adult only and means if you aren't 21 or older then you do go on their.

This page is t remember all those that have

passed away in Christchurch.

By Hemi

There is a universal truth we all have to face even if
we want to or not, everything ends. I never thought this day
would come but it did and I don't like endings. There is a final
page in the bible that God finished for those 50 people who died.

Today we say god still loves you and peace be with you.

By Jarrod

It’s so sad

Just to see someone that bad.

To kill someone that they don’t even know.

All they needed to do was grow.

You hurt me so badly.

That don’t even make you manly.

You think your strong

But actually you're wrong

I feel so sorry for the people that died.

And I cried.

They lost their lives

Just to see you strive

You're stuck in jail

All you can do is fail

You're making me mad

You're actually really sad

But god still loves you

All you need is love upon you.

By Leon

Why did you kill all those people they could of lived

having a AK by your side doesn't make you strong

you’re just wrong

because you’re like donkey kong

you ding dong.

tears came from my eyes

after all those people died

your just making me more mad

and sad in the inside

you don’t care about who you killed

you don’t even know them

so why did you kill them

but god will always be with you.
