Easter sunday

On Easter Sunday I went to Sunday school and church, before we started Sunday school we had breakfast with the whole church like we had eggs, Bacon, Mushroom sauce and toast.Breakfast was then dismissed and us kids had to make our way down to the church and get ready for our first Sunday school lesson of 2016. During Sunday school we shared our names, what class were in and what does Easter means to you, When we finished sharing we get a Easter egg basket filled with different kinds of Easter eggs. We had church after and the church service was about how Jesus died on the cross so all our sin's could be washed away. This is why Easter is a big celebration for us apart from eating the Easter eggs. When church finished my family and I went back home got changed made some lunch and took that meal to my uncles house for us to eat when everyone arrives. At the Easter lunch we ate Donuts, Raw fish, Chicken and kumara. While we waited for the food to be cooked we played on my uncles PlayStation and watched some sky. When the feast was done we all went home and waited for the next day to come.

The Weekend

On Saturday  I basically just had a lazy day with my mum dad and sister, my brother stayed the night at my nana's house. I was supposed to go but then changed my mind. We then decided to go and grab a feed at my nana's house, we ate pork, home made salad, corn beef and taro then drank  down a cup of  otai (Tongan fruit drink made with watermelon, pineapple, mango juice and other fruit).

On Sunday we thought to start  the cleaning so we did. We woke up early and started,  my job was to fold the cloths and take them upstairs to the rooms, next job for me was to hang the washing. After that my brother finally arrived from my nana's house with Mac Donald's. My third job was to go and have a shower. we were going out to Takanini for a church service with my nana,grandpa,uncle,aunt and cousins. We got there and was 20 minutes early so we toke a ride to the shops and grabbed a few snacks for us to munch on. We were done eating so we went in and listend to the minister preach and the Sunday school sing there songs. When that was done we finished with a  feed and the end there food was amazing accept for there juice I didn't like there grapefruit juice because it just tasted really bitter and the end.

Mr Nancy show

Today we went down to the hall to do a workshop with Auckland Theater and over there they tought us some games they made up and some games they used to help them with drama. The first game they tought us was that you had to be a fighter and fight in slow motion, you have to fight until your both dead and cause a dramatic death. The next game was when one of the characters said to walk around and he would call out a animal and you had to act in that animal. Our next stage was to find a partner and again he would call out        a animal like a depressed elephant or monkey and you would have to act that out. Next activity was to find another group of 2 and then you would then make a animal with just using the four of you's, my animal was a caterpillar at first but then my group changed it into a elephant.Me and my friend Cecilia were the ears and my 2 other friends were a tail and the head. Next game was when we had to come up with a song with a theme that was given from one of the coaches. Our theme was "Space Monkey"  what we did was just make a monkey voice  and sing a made up song from the top of our heads. This has helped me with a little bit of confidence just not enough confidence to stand up and show what I have on the table yet.

The Weekend

On Saturday I went to Pacifica with my Aunt,Brother,sister,Nan and Grandpa. When we got there we first went to the Tuvalu stage, the people there were nice to be honest and the performances at there stage was cool to watch because they would do heaps of action songs, we didn't get a chance to eat there food.Next stage we went and saw was the Aotearoa stage, the performances they had there were amazing, they had kapa haka groups. The food there was delicious, my aunt kept getting there fried bread with meat and salad on top of it. We only had a little bit of time left so we all chose to go to the Tongan stage. All that was there was church quias from all around  Auckland and from one of the food stalls  we got how many B.B.Q meals, after that we went home.

Next day on Sunday We first made our way to the Fiji stage and to be honest there was not that much people  there only the people the came from the country. The food stalls there were alright because all they would sell was Curry and rotis. We then were off to the Niuean stage where all the people were rushing to get some coconut bread. Performances there was alright to watch. Next stage was the cook Islands MAN!!!!!!! there performances were out of this world because they wouldn't be shy and just go for it, and there food was amazing especially there donuts. Our last trip was to the Samoa stage on other field where speed way is hosted. There was heaps of people there watching the  performers do  there items. The food there was amazing and cheap to be honest. Next you know we were off home again

Softball Tournament

 Last week Thursday the girls played softball on the love-lock field,School field and the main diamond.There was a year 7/8 girls team.Us year 7 girls had our first game against Royal oak and lost to them, the game with them was fun because we got to learn from our mistakes like to STING THE BEE. Which meant steal the base.Our second game was against Waikowhai we won against them I dont what the scoreboard was then. They were hard at first but when we got down and focused on the game it was starting to get very easy for us. Our coach Ms Sialoa would always say " GIRLS  STING THE BEE " or she would say " GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME ". Our third game we versed Mount Roskill Intermediate and also won that game, in that game it was easy to be honest because it would be side away very fast, But there captain was a very big hitter because she was tall but nice.The next game was set on the near by softball field next to us against Remuera school and most of them were good at catching which I think made it a little bit harder, most of the Remuera girls were nice and not competitive, that's how we won against them because they weren't that serious about the game. The 5th game we were versing Ponsonby and let's say they were one of the hardest team you could verse because they had a few very big hitters. Next game was with Kowhai now this team I think was one of the hardest teams you could ever verse I say this because there catching and pitching was on the spot, so we lost that game.
