Poem- Ice Cream

Ice cream is delicious and very, very yummy
Sometimes I eat so much and get an upset tummy.
It comes in different flavours and different colours too,
My favourite is chocolate and I might be the same as you.

Even though it can be very cold,
With me around it will always be sold.
Ice cream will always be the best,
always better then all the rest.

What I Want To Do When I Grow Up

(Introduction) When I grow up I want to help the homeless. This is because last night I found out that over 100 citizens from New Zealand are homeless. Even though that might not happen, I will try my best to.

(Problem) Even though this might feel amazing, there's a problem to everything I believe. I'm just a kid and I don't know how to help them, I say if you're dreams aren't scaring you, you're not dreaming big enough. On the news, that's where I heard about this, I screamed, "That's terrible"! I hate seeing people with no food, nor homes. Then what we do is waste food, and throw it away. I believe though we have to stay strong. If the government will not help, I will try my best to.

Other than that, I do not have money so how will I help them. I know that the government is busy almost 24\7 but still. Who ever the government is they need to work on it, and not just the government but everybody. I hope by the end of this year, all homeless people will receive homes.

(Solution) Even though I might be a bit stuck, on how to help the homeless I will try. I will start by giving some food to them, I might not have enough but at least I will make progress. I will try my best to take care of them, even if nobody will. It will be my achievement, my goal. I'll take baby steps, slowly working my way to the top. I  hope that Australia will help us, since we helped them. Maybe they will, or maybe they won't.

(Conclusion)
Sometimes I can't even believe that citizens from New Zealand are homeless! To be honest it's one of the most ridiculous, information I've ever heard. So ridiculous I didn't believe it! Until the news reporter convinced me, by showing me the people. It doesn't make me feel happy at all, well to be honest. We need to help the homeless and take care of them, I try to make other people happy, then myself.

Maui And The Stars

• (Introduction)In a land where little seeked more, there was a boy called Maui. He lived with his Mother and father. Maui’s father was the chief, they were struggling to find food, nor did they have enough water. Maui decided, that it was enough and he will find more food.
• 
  
• (Problem) There village kept on struggling, Maui could not believe how his village could live like this. If only there were something that they can exchange for food. Maui’s father wanted to talk to him, his father looked ill, sick and more. Maui’s father lay down there on the bed with Maui holding his hand. “Come closer, listen to me” said father. “You will become chief, help this village as how I failed” said Maui’s father. “I will” said Maui. Before his father closed his eyes, he gave Maui his cloak.
• 
  
• (Solution)One night Maui went fishing, he did not catch any fish, or enough fish for the village. Maui thought that he failed his father, he promised him but he could not give up. He looked up at the stars, he did not think much at first. Until he saw it led somewhere. He noticed because all the stars were all in a straight line. As you know stars do not do that all! Maui was keen to know where it was going, so he started his journey. He took one of the kanoes and sailed across the sea. He followed the stars and had to deal with extreme weather and starvation. When several nights passed, the trail of the stars had stopped it was a cave. The cave was quite dim and dark. In the cave was two big red diamonds. There was a statue that was holding the diamond, it was a lady, she looked like she was from Egypt. On one of the fingertips it was a warning, which the writing said, one is worthy, only one can hold these diamonds. Maui did not think much as he normally does not. He picked up  the two diamonds and the cave rumbled, Maui quickly ran out of the cave and sailed back home.

• (Conclusion)He told his mother where he has been. Maui showed his mother the two diamonds. The mother took it to the jewelry store next door for exchange for over 1 million dollars. Maui and the mother found out the two diamonds were super rare. There was only one that somebody has ever seen so they got 1 million dollars per diamond. They had more than enough money to pay for the whole village, they now had something to eat and drink. They lived in peace at last with a smile on their face! 

Hip Hop With Jess

Today, room 10, Miss Misela and I went to the multipurpose room. We went there because we had Kiwi Sport with Jess. She said we had her for 6 weeks starting from today. First we had to sit down on the floor, she talked about what we are going to do. She said we have to do a warm up first, at first I felt no pain, then it started coming slowly. Most of the warm ups were something to do with you're arms. After the warm up we played a game of musical statues. I was the third to last standing. The other two were Agueer and Alamoni. They won the game. Then we started dancing and it was so much fun.

Phone OFF Eyes On

Last week Sai, Alamoni, Musika and I made this poster. This poster was made to convince all children, especially adults to remind them to be road safe. I did the text, Alamoni did the decorating, Musika and Sai did the images.

STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN!

This video is starring Kate, Maddy, Winnie, Kymani and Shaniqua. They worked really hard, and because of their hard work they are getting prizes, to celebrate.

Road Safety Poem

Before you cross the road look left and right,
Don't worry about  thing you'll be alright.
Use a pedestrian, to stop you from danger,
You will come and see you're amazing saviours.

Please be safe around the cars,
If you're near or if you're far.
Phone Off,
Eyes On,
So you'll never be upon.

Be careful of drive  thru's,
and their sneaky ways.
Then you'll be just,
OK

TOITOI Writing

Plan-
1- Groups
2- Books
3- Stories
Conclusion-
Thoughts, Feelings, Lasted Longer
Who, What, When, Where, Why

Introduction-
On Monday the 7th of May, after fitness we went into room 11.  Room 9 and 10 went inside because ToiToi was visiting to celebrate Konzay's published writing.

(Groups)
It all started with us walking into room 11, we sat down and remained there for quite a while. Shortly Konzay, Mrs. Vickers and the PWC community soon came in. Then we split into groups of 7, 6 5 and 4. My teacher Miss Misela and Mrs. Riley did their calculations then they split us into groups. I was with Frank, Nurul, Jason and more people. One person from PWC came to come and read with us. I don't remember her name, but she had a raspy voice and dark brown hair.

(Books)
Miss Misela gave me a pile of ToiToi books. I gave each and every one a book. At first I was really shy and so was everybody else in my group. We could pick any story we wanted too, that's what the lady said. Nobody in our group picked one so she did. She picked Konzay's writing, My Friend Dominic.

(Reading)
When we were reading we picked so many books. My favourite is probably The Abandoned House. The story was about this four story house, that was in the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded by a miniature black fence, with a gate at the front. It looked very decrepit and rusty, the house was painted in a very light grey. There was nobody inside, a family went by, and went to go look inside...

(Conclusion)
I really enjoyed all the stories, but I wished that it could have at least lasted 15 more minutes. That is because I wanted to read all the stories, that I didn't read. At the same time though I also wanted to do reading in class, also to do activities. Either way I really relished, or loved it very much.

The Movie That Changed My Life ( Recount)

(Introduction)
On the 28th of April we went to the movies. My sister Sosefina, my auntie and I went. We went because we have been cleaning, so that was our prize.

(Getting Food)
We went to Sylvia Park and went down to the food court. There was so many options, there was so much food that I smelt. My sister and I could have  picked anything, but in the end we picked Mc Donald's. I ordered a Filet'O fish burger, fries and a small Fanta. Sosefina and I ordered the same thing. My auntie had a chicken burger, fries and a drink from Burger King. We sat down and ate then we went into the movies.

(Picking The Movie)
We went in line, and we stood there for quite a while. About five  minutes later, it was our turn to get our tickets. My sister and I wanted to go play games, but we had to choose the movie so we couldn't. We had two choices, A Wrinkle In Time or Avengers Infinity War. My sister picked A Wrinkle In Time, so I went with it.

(Watching The Movie)
We brang our drinks into the theatre, because we already ate. We gave our tickets to this lady, she ripped it in half and gave it back. She told us which cinema we had to go in, that cinema was number 1. The movie started with memories of the girl, I don't remember her name but she was the main character. There was memories of her and her dad. Her dad was so desperate to shake hands with the universe, he was making unbelievable discoveries. One day he made a presentation, he showed and spoke about space, time and the stars. The people in the crowd did not believe him they thought he was joking, but nor we wasn't. They laughed and laughed at him as if he told the most hilarious joke. Her dad got lost, and the daughter went on an adventure to go find him. The daughter always thought about him, she started having anxiety and trust issues, but soon she stopped.

(Conclusion)
I really wish that, we went to the pools and had a good swim. The movie was really sad, but it also made me quite angry. She keeps on holding back on things she's scared of, but mostly the things she wants to do. For example, to save her dad,  she kept on hesitating if she really wanted to do it, but kept on being afraid.

What I Will Achieve!

I will try my best to achieve my goals.
