Future Aspiration

Today in the morning we had Future Aspiration Day and four people came to talk to us about what they do and what we want to be, the first person to talk was Antnony Samnels and the thing he told us was a quote which said "The past does not determine your future" which was really cool because he said he use to be on What Now. The next speaker that was talking was Paula Fakalata who was a Attitude Presenter and then Amielia Unafe who is a fashion designer.

Film Festival

I woke up joyful knowing that today was film festival, quickly I opened the curtains to get a peek of the sun shining... but all I saw was rain, don’t worry I thought to myself today is the day when I’m going to watch other class movies. As I finished refreshing myself I got dress in my red and black uniform, I suddenly hear my mum calling me for breakfast so quickly grab my bag and rush to the kitchen when I was done eating my mum dropped me off.

As we got on the bus me and my buddy Faridah quickly raced to one of the empty seats, as we found a seat that we both liked i quickly rushed to the seat next to the window which was pretty funny because Faridah wanted to sit there, once we sat down the bus started to move and as the bus started moving the kids got louder and louder.

As i gripped onto the rail i quickly ran in to the movies to get a good seat, but then I realized I lost my friends so i quickly ran back down the stairs where most of the kids were and as I was looking I spotted them so I quickly ran to them and told them to follow me and off I went, as we got to the top we spotted three seats where we could sit.

As all the movies began I was so excited because our class movie came on first and it was great and as the movies kept on playing and playing and playing it got kinda boring so me and my friend Gloria started to talk about our favorite movie and it turned out our favorite movies were the same which was the bowl cut.

The reason that the Bowl Cut was my favorite film festival movie is because it was funny and the acting was great.

Going To Life Ed :)

Life Education has been teaching my class all about drugs and how it can affect around your lives and our family.The person who was teaching us all about drugs was Lynn she showed us videos and clips of people who were taking drug and how their lives ended.I enjoyed this because it teaches me what drug would happen when you take it so thank you life Ed .   

When we walked inside a lady named lynn told us to sit down in rows of  three or four.When we were all ready shes told us about drugs she that “Drugs is not good you because it can change everything in your body but mostly your heart and brain” as she was talking she showed my class and I movies about people who took drugs and how they ended up with their lives turned around.

One of the movies that we watched told us about this lady and she started to take drugs when is was sixteen or seventeen she said that “When I got to court she thought that she was going to get home detention but instead the judge said shes going to jail and all she could think of was the fact that it was just a waste of time buying all those food.

The thing I really enjoyed about Life Ed was  things they showed us and the movies about those people who were taking drugs I also loved the dances we did and the tricks Lynn showed us it was really hard at first but then it started to get really easy.The session we went to we watched this movie with this owl in it and he was talking about drugs its was so much fun.

As I was sitting there watching all those movies what would happen if someone in your life took thoughts and what would happen to do them would they go through the same things or would live in happiness.

Volleyball

volleyball  

Telling About Volleyball:

Hi my name is Anisha and I would love to share with you something about my sport Volleyball.Volleyball is a very outstanding sport  to learn if you were to show other people how to play this game they would get it just like that because volley ball is a simple game.Volley ball may look very hard when you see people playing it but when you get the hang of it, you would just feel like playing it forever.

What Does A Volleyball Look Like:

A Volleyball is very round and kind of heavy because of the foam inside,it is light for some volleyballs but mostly they are heavy.Volley Balls are very easy to hit when you throw it up but also volley balls are only for that game but they can not be use for any other game only volleyball.

The Game:

Volleyball is played by two teams with six people in each side but you can play with any amount.Volleyball is really easy to play if you get the hang of it most people love to play volley because its truly simple and really easy it's also fun when you play with alot of people like more than six.Volly ball was very famous in the olden day and it still is famous today.Volleyball was Invented by a very smart man name William G M he was in Lockport,New York.   

The Rules

The rules for volleyball is really simple so please listen carefully as i say it.A player on one of the teams have to begin with a rally by serving the ball so first you have to (toss the ball and release it by hitting it so it goes to the other team) two from behind the back you have to not try to make the ball go on the ground three make sure you don’t hit the ball the wrong way because sometimes when you hit the ball its goes out and thats when your team lose a point.   

Life Education

Life Education has been teaching my class all about DRUGS and how it can affect around your lives and your family.The person who was teaching us all about DRUGS was Lin she showed us videos and clips of people who were taking DRUGS and how there lives ended.I enjoyed this because it teached me what DRUGS would happen when you take it so thank you life Ed .

World War 1 :D

  
Today commemorates the hundredth year since our soldiers went to WW1 "lest we forget".

My Holidays :D

As I was sitting there on my bed listening to my favorite music but I suddenly feel my earphones get pulled off I turned around and found my mum holding my earphones and looking really mad.I sat up from my bed and said “why did you do that” and my replied with a angry tone “I HAVE BEEN CALLING YOU SO MANY TIMES”  i’m sorry I said I couldn't hear because I was listening to music.

Then as I apologized to my mum her frown looking face turn into a smile which she then told me to get dress and look after my brother so as I rushed to my cupboard I opened the door and got dress but then I started to think where were we going and why are we in a rush.

So I finished getting dress and ran to my brother at the front but as I went to get him I ask my mum where were we going but she said nothing so I reached out to my brother and grabbed him but then I remember I had to pack his bag so I softly patted him back into his crib and ran to my parents  room so I grabbed my brothers bag and throw anything I could see then I ran back to the front and took hold of my little brother.

But then I hear my mum shout to me “Take the keys and open the car we are going to....” as she was talking I didn’t hear what the last word she said but then I murmured to myself “At least I get to go outside and see the sun shining bright BUT THEN I opened the door and all I could see was rain so I grabbed a towel and putted it over me and my brother.

So then I ran to the car unlocked the door and sat there thinking of where we would be going but then I hear some footsteps coming closer to the door and as I hear it open it was mum  I told her that I thought it was someone else but then she looked at me and laughed.

Then as we were driving down the motorway and were then at otara I finally found out where we were going we were going to my nana’s to visit them and see how they were going.

At the end I really had fun there and wanted to stay to have a sleepover but my mum said no because she needs my help at home so then my cousin ask if I could come next term and my mum said yes.

I can’t wait for the next holidays because I get to stay at my nana’s place with my cousins and also I get to say there for the whole holiday so that means I don’t have to go home.
