Touch Game

As I got into the hall I suddenly felt butterflies in my stomach I was wishing they would go away. I could see everyone’s faces were getting more and more anxious. When Miss Vaafusuaga was calling out the roll I had struggle trying to say yes. I was nervous that we were going to a year 7 & 8 mixed touch tournament on Dunkirk Road. When she finished the roll it felt like the tournament was just minutes away.

First ,  everyone got into lines to get ready to walk to the tournament. As we got closer and closer to the fields . I felt like my heart was going to burst out I was so scared that we might lose our first game. I could smell sweet flowers coming from the side of me as we were walking towards the fields so that cheered me up a little bit.

Then we finally got to the fields and our coach Tyson told our team to do warm-ups. I could already smell body odour going through my nose it was horrifying. First we did settle which is when the wing, link and middle work together to try get closer to the try line. Then it was game time our first game was against tamaki primary cowboys. Boom before you know it we already had scored a try.

Altogether , we had six games each game was fifteen minutes and we didn’t have halfs. Our second game was against tamaki primary tigers when we got onto the field I was feeling really because there team looked really hard and fast. But I was also confident about our team to because we had just won our first game against there other team.

After that , I was even more excited to play the next team because we had just won our last two games. I was killing inside because butterflies were getting to me it felt like I had a huge  knot in my stomach. But I faced it then bang! our fifth game was already on we played against glen taylor this was on decision game because if we won this we were automatically in the finals that game went so fast.

BANG! we won everyone in the team was so excited that we were going to the finals. I wanted to burst out a fantastic smile but I kept it in because we still had one more game to be crowned first place.

Suddenly , we see glen taylor walking onto the field so we all had a great feeling that we were playing them in the final. But it was anyone’s game I was so terrified I asked to sub off first and just watch for a little bit. We were halfway through the final and still no one and scored in was intense then all I see was Asena score on the right wing everyone cheered all I could hear was “GO ASENA” .

Then I jumped on the field I was so scared I wanted to run off and scream. But no I couldn’t let the team down then we scored again and again BANG! the timer goes off and we had won the tournament their team looked shattered because they came second place.

Imagine a disgusting room filled with cockroaches everything broken and is incapable to live no one bothered to clean it. Gross right well here is a poem that I wrote about a photo I saw. Over the past weeks we have been learning about poems and schemes within the poems.

The room starts to rumble

The ceiling began to crumble

Smelling mould

I start to get a cold

Everything’s broken

And it can’t be spoken

Disgusting floors

Covered in paint

Broken draws

I wanted to faint

How to prevent yourself from getting sick

This term we have being learning explanation writing. Explanation writing is something you write about and you have to explain why and this weeks topic is how to prevent yourself from getting sick . These are my three main ideas and reasons how to prevent yourself from getting sick .



Winter is here and with winter comes sickness being sick is not very nice so it is important we look after ourselves. So that we don't get sick and make others sick . The following paragraphs I am going to be talking about is how to prevent yourself from getting sick and reasons why.


One of the easiest ways of staying healthy is eating a balanced range of food. This means eating from the 5 food groups with a focus on fruits and vegetables. If you do that then your body will receive all the nutrients it needs to be in the best condition to fight off invading germs.

One of the best ways to prevent yourself from getting sick is not sharing food or drinks that you have already eaten or drunk. This means  you should not share food or a drink that you have already eaten or drunk. If you do that then it would stop you and another people from getting sick and sharing germs with them.

Another way to prevent yourself from getting sick is not touching public toilets and other public objects. This means being careful of what you touch in public so that you don't get germs from other people touching it. If you do that then you wouldn't have any germs and would prevent yourself from getting sick .

So those are my three main ideas and reasons that will prevent yourself from getting sick. If you do those three ideas you will have a good and healthy life . I hope you enjoy your life and keep it nice and healthy.

Talking Points

This week in Reading we are talking about Talking points , this is my reflection on my reading activity . Our WALT is Participate in group discussion by actively speaking and listening . This is how I was feeling and I wrote about what actively speaking and listening looks and sounds like.

My Learning

This week in literacy we have been writing about how to prevent yourself from getting sick. Firstly, we started to write and introduction and conclusion and then we had a group discussion with the teacher . I learnt that one of the best ways to prevent yourself from getting sick is to not share your food or drinks that you have already eaten or drunken because it can cause sickness which is one of my paragraphs in my writing.

Secondly, I saved the best for last my favourite subject maths .  This week we are learning about Algebra , algebra is a maths topic it connects with the alphabet we are trying to find out what algebra is and how it can help us. Other things we learnt in maths this week was positive and negatives . Positive and negatives are like adding and subtracting but a little bit more difficult. For example -45 + x = 76 we have to try and find out what the x is so you add 45 + 76 because it is a negative and it equals 121 so that is the answer is the x . There is a lot more questions that I will show and you can try figure them out.
