YEAR 8 OPEN DAY

Arriving to Tamaki College was scary. We waited in front of the tech block until Mr Moses led us to the Tamaki College Library to have free time before we had to assemble in the auditorium. It made me realise that I will soon be here next year and as more and more students from other intermediates appeared I got even more nervous.

All the year eights from Glenbrae and also other near intermediates were seated and we were then spoken to by a lady named Mrs Moore. Everyone was split into groups that had 2 student leaders from Tamaki College for each. I was put in a group named PEM and my leaders were John, head boy of Tamaki College and a year nine named Junior.

My first class was music with Mr Telefoni. We played games about different kinds of sounds. We had to create beats with different genres and using some of the instruments in the class. It was a really good experience in music and made me think of taking this class next year.

For the rest of the day I had more exciting classes such as Social Studies, Science, Maths and English. I also met teachers at Tamaki College that I will probably see again next year.

The Tamaki College Catering class provided us with morning tea and lunch. I also got to socialize with the other students from different schools and I hope that I see them again.

Year 8 open day was a great experience because I got a little understanding of what college is like. It made me realise that I will soon be here next year which frightens me but I am still so excited.

WORLD WAR 2

Today, I watched a video on the world war 2. The video was a documentary. Just giving us a brief look, on what happened in world war 2. They showed this play, that had been performed, It was about  the pasifika that served in the 28th Maori battalion, It was a story that was inspired from the past. Men who fought in the war, and survived, talked and shared their experience. WW2 was started, by Germany attacking Poland. Britain and France had declared war on Germany, because Adolph Hitler, refused to abort his invasion on Poland.

My Day.

" Get up, Get up" Yelled Mele. Waking up at 8am in the morning was the worst feeling. I was so, very tired. Trying to keep my eyes open.  Get ready, yelled my mum. I got up. Tried my best to stay awake, Everyone was done, we got into the car. Ti (step dad), Dropped, My mum, Mele, Salote, Moira and I to Aunty, Moira's house, while Ti went to work. We had stayed there for a little while, waiting for our Aunty, Andronicus, Pinomi, and Henry to get ready. Next we all hopped into the big van and were off. First we had made a few stops at some houses, then to the petrol station, but finally, we were off to our Nana's house. 

When we finally arrived to Nana's house, My mum and Aunty, Dropped us kid's off while they went and looked for a present for our new born baby cousin, who was in hospital, (she was born yesterday). 

Us children had stayed here with our grandpa's sister, Telema. We watched T.v, Played outside, well, we did whatever kid's do.

A few hours later, My Grandpa, and Nana had arrived, with a load of shopping. We all helped to bring it inside, and we worked as a team. After we had finished bringing it in, Mum and Aunty Moira showed up. They picked up my oldest sister's Anaise and Tatiana, to go to the hospital, to see the new baby. 

Before, my mum and Aunty left, My mum reminded us kid's to get our clothes ready for tonight, Becuase tonight, were going to a "Hansel and Gretel" play. 

So that has been my day.
