Manaiakalani Day
On Manaiakalani day we went to the movie. We went on a bus. The Room 3 girls were sitting at the back and we were laughing. We got there and went inside and we were sitting near the top row. When the movie started we were scared. We were scared because the boy was talking about schools. It was cool.
The first one was Room 1 St. Pius X school movies, My best movie was Room One's animal movie. I liked how they danced. I liked how they acted. I liked how they dressed. I liked all the things the students did.
The second one was the other Room 3 movie. It was beautiful, I think. Maybe that's my favorite one. When it was finished we all went back to the bus and went back to school.

My Illness at Home
My Illness at Home
Two terms ago, I was diagnosed with rheumatic fever. This is what happened.
One day I woke up and my leg was sore. It felt like someone was stabbing me. I tried to forget it but it didn't work. “Krystal, that doesn't look good,” mum said. Then mum carried me to the car. Then we went to the hospital.
My mum and I went to Starship to check if anything was wrong with my leg. The doctors put a moon boot on me, and sent us home. Then I got ready for school.
A few weeks later, my leg was sore. Luckily, my older sister told my mum to take me to the hospital again in case I might be diagnosed with rheumatic fever. We went the next day, and they said that I was diagnosed with rheumatic fever. We were so lucky that they caught it so early.
I had to stay in the hospital for 2 and a half months.
On August the 4, I was allowed to go home for 3 days. But I went back to the hospital. I stayed until sunday.
Being at home:
In the beginning I slept a lot .I slept in the lounge because I wasn’t allowed upstairs.I wasn’t allowed to eat sweets and chocolate because I was sick. I don’t like vegetables because they smell funny.
When I was at home a teacher came to my house and her name is Felicity she came twice a week to help me learn.
I love tv shows and one is called Shortland Street and Sesame Street.I watched some tv shows in the afternoon.
I love going to church in a wheelchair because I get to do nothing but sometimes I get tired of sitting down then my mum tells me to get off the wheelchair and walk for a little bit then I went back on the wheelchair then we went home.

Room 3 Cricket!
Room 3 Cricket!
On Tuesday morning Room 3 had cricket. So everyone came to school. Before we came to cricket we played before school started. When the bell rang, we did the catching and the other team was throwing. It was fun catching and running. We had heaps of fun.
Then we practised underarm bowling. We were catching and some of my class was watching. We were throwing the ball at the cones. I love cricket, when we were finished coach Sahil said that my team won.
Cricket is a fun sport for me. It started raining so we came inside the classroom with coach Sahil. We watched cricket on the Activboard. Sahil picked a kids cricket program on Youtube. We watched two cricket videos and we learnt heaps of interesting stuff. We learnt heaps from cricket videos.
We were all finished and we said, “Thank You Sahil and we will see you next week”.

My Life Story So Far!
My Life Story So Far!
My life is one of my greatest achievements.I was born out of Alice but she wasn't crying.When she was at the hospital, she asked for her own chocolate cake. She was leaving it for her own dessert. Luckily Seuati and I stole it and ate it. This was when I was just 3 years old, a very cute age for my own height, they wouldn't even measure my own height.
When I turned 4 years old Maggie bought her own computer. I forgot which month and day she bought it, my favourite game on the computer was Red Crucible Firestorm. It was a game of war and shooting as well, I played other games to, such as hacked games, robot games and transformer games. They were also one of my most favourite games of all time I think.
When I turned 5 years old on 2015 Julianna said I was ready to go school, I said “yes I am”. So it was my first time at school in the morning. I was a little bit late to school. Everyone was in the hall. I was nervous. After the line up finished Julianna told Mrs William my name. I was a little bit naughty because I did not know what to do and I was jealous.
Then I turned 6 years old.I passed Room 1 and I went to room 4. Mrs Pulotu was our teacher. There was some older kids like Alfred, Zahara and Sefopalu.Those were some of the older kids. We also played games too.
Im now 7 years old my current age i'm in. I past Room 4 and now in Room 3 with some other kids. Mr Gaffney showed us everything about his own classroom. He also showed us the marbles. If we finish the marbles he said that we will get the ice cream that his son bought for all of us. We also could get our own milkshake.
This is my story of my own life. I enjoy life so much. The thing that makes me happy is my laptop. I don’t know why.

Taniela's Shopping!
My Shopping Morning.
One morning. we all had to buy a new dish drying rack. We went to the shops but we did not know what to choose. We split up to go to different shops. We went to the second shop and my grandma and my sister went to the third shop.
We were looking for the best dish drying rack. There was one we forgot about. It was the most fantastic one it was 50 dollars so we put our money together and we bought it.

Dear Tindall Foundation,Thank you for paying for us to go to the zoo.
My favourite animal is a spider. I loved it when I crossed the bridge. I loved it when I saw the birds. I almost had the birds claws on my head. It was a close one.
I like all the animals. I like the alligator and the meerkat and the elephant and I like the tigers. I measured the tiger and when we got back we went to the park.

Dear Tindall Foundation,
Thank you for paying our trip to the zoo. I am really thankful for your kindness. Thank you for blessing our learning.
My best animal is the lion. I like the lion because it is the king of the jungle. The lion can camouflage in the long grass.
I really enjoyed going to the zoo.
Thank you so very much.

Dear Tindalle Foundation,

Thank You so much for paying for us to go to the zoo.
I had such a good time at the zoo learning abut the animals.
The animals were especially fun to learn about because at school we have been researching information about the animals.
My favourite animal was the giraffe and this is my chosen animal. My animal grows really tall. Its the tallest animal in the world. It is a herbivorel. It only eats fruit and leaves and branches. It has a very thorny tongue. It can not run or jump.
Thank you so much!

The videos were for kids. we saw kids doing the things that we did. The bell rang and Sahil said thank you and we went to get our lunch.
