First post of 2011

It’s the day before Christmas, it was Christmas Eve my Grandpa’s birthday. Today we are going to the Papakura R.S.A to celebrate my Grandpas 70th birthday.When we got to the R.S.A we were very excited but there was only one person there. My older cousin Te Ranui he was wondering where everyone was, Then at about 12:00 clock my older brother Nikora turned up with his girlfriend.

Family member after family member the whole family was just about here. We were all waiting on my grandpa to turn up. While I was waiting I was looking at the Buffet their were delicious foods like nice hot chips,Muscle chowder, Christmas Ham,some pork, Cheese cakes, chocolate fudge,trifle.


Suddenly my Koro (grandpa) waled into the door,I quickly dashed to shake his hand like I always do. With my Koro arriving my family performed a Maori welcoming,it nearly got my Koro to tears after the welcoming we performed another Maori song. “Kiarete Kiarete Kiarete” My cousin chanted, we started to do a Haka.



After all the performances we did it was time to eat,I was starving I dashed to get a plate I got me three slices of Christmas Ham,three slices of pork,some Potatoes,hot chips and finally Butter Chicken. For dessert I got me two pieces of a Cheesecake a bit of trifle then this raisin ball that I thought was chocolate but it wasn't. The birthday was good I hope we can have another celebration.

Our Pizza

Pike River Mine Service

The Memorial Service at Omoto race course for the Pike river Miners was on tv at 2:00 clock in the afternoon on Thursday the 2nd of December 2010 I watched it. It is so sad that they haven't found the body's of the Miners, I think that the families just want to go down and get their loved ones.

Even though the mine had a second explosion I still hoped that they would still be alive but when it had a third explosion my hope slowly drifted away.The Mayor of Greymouth is such a good man he never gives up he just works,works and works.When they have their next election he should be voted Mayor if he wants to run again. I hope that all the families can be happy and that they won't be sad.

Rewind

This a movie inspired by the school St Pius. This is a quick 30 second movie so it shouldn't take a lot of your time. Here is a link room6 Rewind St Pius to check out there rewind movie it's awesome. Our task was so much easier then theirs because theirs lasted a 3 minutes this one only takes 30 seconds. Plus it was only one class doing this movie and so when one student was in the shot that would have to run somewhere else to be in another shot which would of been very hard. Hope you like this movie and please leave a comment.

Brent Newdick

This is my extension project it's about a Athlete called Brent Newdick. We had to compare our Athlete with a bug. He won SILVER medal in the Commonwealth games which is very good I hope he can go to the Olympics in 2012 and bring home a gold for New Zealand.

Cross Country Narrative

“10 year old boys’’ yells Mr Burt . My five friends Wally Lewis, Stacey Jones, Brent Tate, Kevin Locke, Jarryd Hayne and I, with all the other ten year old boys, stand on the starting line. Bang Mr Burt shoots his gun into the air, we are all off . I have come second behind my friend Kevin Locke for the last three years but today is a day for change .

I have a dream, I have a path and I have a plan. I dream that I would come 1st in the Cross Country(Martin Luther King Jr’s speech). Kevin and I were neck and neck at the start but as we got to the fence he was winning. Suddenly he put on a bit of gas and he made the margin from me and him bigger.

As we got onto one the fields at the Pt England Reserve I caught up to him and he said to me “Waata you’ve gone faster maybe you can even beat me” I replied back to him “Today’s a time for change”. Unsurprisingly he took of and I shouted “ I knew you would take off ’’ .


Later on we both got to the fence that was close to the reserve we sprinted off going past the playground I was in front of him when he tripped suddenly I stopped picking him up, He said to me “why didn’t you win the race” I said I’m not a person like that I look out for my friends”. Then my other friend Jarryd Hayne came past us. He won the Cross Country me and Kevin came second equal.
