Reflect on 2016

2016 whatta crazy year, let’s go back when I first started school in year 7. I was in room 3 for my home class and all other learning classes.   I was lucky enough that I knew one person from Pt England and his name was Alfa Kepu Saafi. He was the one that introduced me to the boys, first game we played was touch.  It was a good friendly game.  As the year went past I made new friends boys and girls also teachers.

I have enjoyed been part of team 5 we have great memories and some not so good. Sports - first sport of the year was tag I was nervous but when you have great friends nothing is possible. This year I have been in tag,touch,rugby,soccer,softball,cricket,Ki o rahi, athletics and netball. It was a great experience playing sports with the boys it means alot to me knowing that the boys supported me too.

I am proud of all the things we have achieved this year.  Ki o rahi was a great game.  The first time I played it  and my team and I took it out. I was shocked,  when we won the team that we played in the final did us a haka!  This shows great sportsmanship, even if you lose or win still show respect.   This got me wondering if we should have a haka for school - for next year.

I will never forget those who help me throughout  the hard and easy times because without you amazing people I would've never got this far.   I would just like to say a big thank you. I will cherish my time I had with my friends,  for always being there for me when I needed you guys the most - thank you!   

Prize giving night

On Thursday night we had prizegiving. Many kids got awards, to acknowledge their hard work in class and outside of class. We started of with year 5s and there item was great everyone was committed to their dance. Kids got award for learning, sports and also for those who come school everyday.

Year 6s was next there one was just like year 5s but with more awards and with a better item. Faioso, Javan and Samoa looked like the main ones for sports and learning awards. Faioso and Javan got sportsman and sportswoman of the year, they deserved it.

Year 7s item was next my heart was pumping faster as it would normally would. Everyone was screaming and yelling out loud more and more people went on the stage to get a awards, I was wondering if I was going to get called up. “Now we move on to Reps awards Temauri, Alfa and Siaosi” as I walked on the stage while everyone was yelling I got scared. I walked up on stage proud to be next to the two boys I played with this year and the two boys I fought against in trials for two rep team but Temauri, Alfa and I made it in, it was the proudest moment of my life achieving  something together with these two boys.

Year 8s item was next year 8s and 7s was crying then. As the year 8s walked up emotions were taking the better of them and not to mention some of the year 7s. Most people tried to hold it in but you can’t hold it in for someone really special and maybe you have known them ever since year 1 is leaving you. Back to awards so for dux Lucy came third and Stevenson and Jordan the two boys in room 3 tied for 1st place on dux it was no shock there because those two boys really do show how smart they are in class. We packed up and prize giving was finished proud of everyone that got an award and everyone who didn’t even though they didn’t get award but at least they still work hard in class. Just for the year 7s we should be stepping up already as leaders and year 8s good luck on your college and god bless yous.

Dangerous teacher 2

“Boom! Somebody call 911”. A handsome boy name Alfa Kepu Saafi tried to do an investigation about fire, something went horribly wrong about his experiment. Alfa wasn’t following the instruction he was too busy trying to look cool. He wanted to find out about fire. His method was to light the lighter, holding it upside down and then counting how long it would take for flame to die.

Alfa was waiting for while now. So he lost his patience went over to check and it burnt his eyebrows,eyelashes and his hair off he had a boko face and hair and sadly the prom was tomorrow. He didn’t want to go but he had to since he was leaving. Alfa went to the prom looking proud his date to the prom was Simon. These two didn’t have dates so they had to go together

Alfa’s friends had his back at the prom.(a few months later) his eyebrows and eyelashes grew up he was very happy he learned if you ever want to do a science experiment remember safety first.
