Meeting George!

This week, our task was to complete our “Daily No Exceptions.” The first step was to read an article and write a narrative of what happened before or after, so this is what I imagined.

Kevin and his friend, Tama grew older and became famous All Black Players. They were just like the old man George Nepia who taught them how to kick. Both boys had good couriers too.

Tama and Kevin became the two best kickers in their group. Both of them let everyone know their story when they met George in their young age.

Thank You Dakota for checking my work.

My Favorite Film Festival Movie!

Yesterday was a very fun and loong day for Naomi and I. We stayed at Sylvia Park from 8:00am-3:30pm! We enjoyed the Manaiakalani Film Festival 2012.

Lots of schools came and  presented. When the year 7&8’s came, it was my time to present. It was fun and cool.

We watched rm 18’s movie, “The Test!”It was my favourite movie of all. The funniest actors were Starford, Jephte and Raihan. What I loved about their movie is how they were really into acting and I like the camera shots. Room 18 ROCKS!
You can watch the movie, above! If you would like to visit Room 18's blog, you can click on this link.

Balloon Challenge!

On a bright morning Mr Harris decided to make it a fun morning. It was a 'Balloon Challenge!!' For our task, we were each handed with a balloon and a skewer.  Then we have to try and stick the skewer in balloon without it popping without the magic ingredients. I was the first person to pass it and Athena was the first person to POP IT!!

After everyone else finally passed the first task, we took turns trying to blow our balloon into a bottle.  It was so difficult that a lot of people turned purple. We all failed that task. I thought that my ideas will work.

We all thought it was impossible because we never made it through. But do you think you can make it through? Go to this site and follow the steps, GOOD LUCK!

In the Boat Alone!! (Narrative)

It was a bright and sunny day in Tahiti when my family and I decided to relax in our mini-boat. We were having loads of fun until something strange and weird happened.......................

My whole family turned into ghosts and I was all ALONE! I started freaking out, “OH NO! What am I going to do?” I cried out loud. I kept thinking about my beloved family which I missed already.

Sooner or later, I suddenly ended up in a Shark’s mouth being flushed by the flood (the flood was from all the water inside it’s mouth.)

“WHEW!!” I said as I got up out of a strange dream.

Elephant's Eye! (Narrative)

“Hosannah, wake up we’re in India,!” My mum said.UP! I got straight away with excitement. I had a very strange dream about an Elephants eye. Out of the plane we went and  “aaaaaahhhhhhh, what a nice Indian smell.” We said. ‘We’ are my parent, my 3 sisters and I. We went to visit India because it was all up to me where our holiday was going to be.

We’ve been there for 2 days now and I’ve enjoyed meeting new people and the delicious Indian food, but my dream about the Elephant’s Eye was true. In India, Elephants are very popular. There are always Elephant’s near me but mostly right in front of giving a dirty shower.

Every night in the fun hotel I was staying at with my family, I kept on wondering why that wild animal keeps on staring at me.  I think it’s a bad luck charm.

One day when I walked past a shop in the New Market, a guru said, “Oi Boy, come here.” He told me what I am scared of in India and all my problems. I asked, “What does it mean to have an Elephant staring at you every time?” The Guru smiled and said that it’s actually a good luck charm. After all, I smiled and about 3 days later it was true. I got to get what I wanted and my family and I had a lot of EXTRAVAGANZA FUN .

It was our last day in India and I felt glaaaaaddd and delighted.

The Fun Stomach Churning Roller-Coaster! (Narrative)

It was a nice day when my family and I decided to go to the new fantastic ride, ‘The Stomach Churning’  in Manukau.


During the day, when we got there. It was finally our turn to go on the ride and I had butterflies. It started moving and in 5 secs, it was epic f
ast. It was my time to prepare to die. My mum was scared that we might fall off. It was frightfully FUN after all! Round and roun
d we went around the high Stomach Churning coaster. After a fancy, horror kind of ride, I felt dizzy that I wanted to barf (Puke.)

The Stomach Churning roller-coaster was the meanest ride I have been on. I felt really joyful and I acted like a clown. WHAT A FUN DAY I HAD.

“ Thanks Mum and Dad.” I said Joyfully.

My Singing Experience!

There has been one thing that I have always dreamed of. Being a star in singing. Singing has been a good experience to me. Everywhere I go, I just sing all day long but no-one hears me so I am writing about ‘SINGING” and what I wish will happen.



I started singing when I was 4 years old and I kept practising with my older sister. I think my singing sounds beautiful and I was born to sing. Oh, I just found my talent. I am going to take you on an adventure about my dream.............

On a hot, bright, sunny day, I went to visit Beyonce and Usher in their studio. We all sang together a song named, “One Plus One” with one verse each. I enjoyed the harmony because it sounded beautiful and we weren’t too hard and we weren’t too soft but just right.

A month later, our album was published with all the songs we sang on it. The whole world heard it about a year later and I said to both Beyonce and Usher, “I am really proud to be a singer.” They laughed and I cannot believe I was with two of the world’s top singers. “Let’s go lunch at the Italian Kebab restaurant, I am starving.” Beyonce said. (But that time, it was only her and I.) The Italian fries and burger were delicious.

Beyonce took me back home and I said, “That was a really fun day shopping with you Beyonce, Bye.” I said with a lot of bags linked on to my arms.

I love singing because I learnt that if you keep practising and getting use to sing in front of others, you can achieve your goal.
