My Rugby Poem

Rugby is a game that sometimes you get hurt.
You get tackled like you're a teddy bear.
Sometimes it looks like someones bullying you by stripping the ball off you.
But it's a very good game to play if you train so that you could get fit and of course know how to tackle.

Room 16 on 1 News

Did you watch the channel One News. Room 16 were on there and if you dont believe me click on One News to go to the link of the website for the proof.
We were on there because in our school Pt England we have little netbooks that we work on to do our work. Some schools also came on the News but it was not because of them getting netbooks instead it was actually because they want the goverment to help them get some for their schools.I felt very excited because this was the first time that we as a whole class have been on the television.
Awhile ago Mr Burt was on 3 News walking around talking about how we use our netbooks and also what we use it for.

Life Education Van

Yesterday after we had fitness it was our turn to go and visit the life education van. Our first instruction was to take our shoes off and put them some where that had shelter just in case it rained and our shoes got all soaking wet. After our first instruction we had to get into a line where the tallest goes in the front and the shortest goes at the back of the line. When we walked in Lynn put us in lines of four with the tallest at the back. We had to make way for our wonderful teacher Mr Somerville.

While we were siting there waiting for Harold to come out Lynn knocked on
his door so that Harold would know that Lynn was about to get him. When Harold came out he said very nice things about room 16.
Harold even asked Lynn some questions about the girls in our class, like "Can she be my Girlfriend?" With no surprises the answer was a definite no! Before those weird questions Lynn read us an email that Harold got from his principle Mr Lion. It was a letter telling him about his homework, which we got to help with.

Finally it was learning time. We didn't just actually just do the homework we actually learned some things that we didn't know as well as helping with Harold's homework. I really liked the first question of Harold's homework. It was about how we can keep our body clean, healthy and fit. Like washing yourself, drinking water, eating healthy food and a whole lot more. I really liked visiting the life education van and I can't wait to go there again this Friday!

My holiday story

My highlight for my Holiday was going in the plane to visit my unties uncles cousins and also
my grandpearents. In the plane I was so excited because I haven't visited them since last year
on December the 11th. All I rememberd from our last time that we visited was that my
granpearents moved to a island that called Tungua and it is also Tonga too. We use a big large
ship to go there and it takes a very long time to get there. The ship that we go on every time
we visit is the Pulupaki. When the ship is nearly there the ship stops and little boats comes and
picks us up and also our bags and things that we came with from Tonga.
