Netball

On a nice hot day room 21 went to play netball out on the netball court. When we got near the netball court we had to get into partners. Liz the instructor told us to go and stand on the X’s or the coloured spots. After we got on the X’s or the coloured spots Mary L handed out the balls to the people that were on the coloured spots. She gave the bibs to the people who were on the X's. Next we had to face our partners. Caroline and Waata were the ones to call out the numbers when we passed it. After doing chest passing we had to hold our arm up and our partner had to run and jump to get the ball. Liz showed us how to chest pass and jump up in the air and catch the ball. Then she said we were going to play netball and I was really excited. There were 3 squares and some people went in all 3 of the squares. When Liz told us to start we were still standing there saying girls vs boys. When the game started the boys got one goal in that was worth 50 points. After the boys got 50 points the girls had 50 points too and we were a tie. Then when the boys went to go throw the ball in the last goal they missed the goal. It went out of the line and then the ball went to the bibs team which was the girls Mary I passed the ball to Rita and then Rita got the goal in and then we WON. Then after that Liz told us to put the balls in the bag and the bibs in too. The boys were saying that they won but I said to them “no we won.” Mrs Lagitupu told us to get in the line. When we were walking to class we said “THANK YOU LIZ.”

On the day of Waitangi me and my family went to Waitangi 2012, to celebrate Bob Marley’s birthday too, when we got there me my uncle and his family was waiting for my mum, auntie,
my brother and our cousin.
We took photos by the lake and the rides and the main stage, I waited by the lights for my mum and auntie. We saw them coming to the lights, waiting. “WOW” said my cousin Melanie as we walked towards the main stage, I was so excited because there was lot’s of rides and we got to listen to music. When we walked to find a spot to sit and watch the people that was about to sing and dance. I spreed out the sheet to sit on and to eat, when me and my uncle went for walk we walked into my other uncle called Jordan. Then my uncle asked if he could join us, and my mum said “yes.”

After the running around we had water and some food after all the food I watched one group and it was little girls dancing the little girls said “we are going to dance for yous” and they started dancing and they had 3 songs that was in their remix. After we watched the girls we went and we got free Milo and breakfast because they were giving out Milo breakfast to the people who didn’t have breakfast in the morning. When we got back from eating breakfast we went and got shaved ice with different colours, my colour was red, purple and blue and it was nice. I took 4 shaved ice for my mum, brother, auntie and I, I wanted to go back on the rides after I finished eating my shaved ice, I asked my cousin “do you want to come on the rides with me,” and my cousin said “yes, come on then” so we ran there and we went on this tiger ride it was really awesome.

I told my mum if we can have more of our food before I have a little sleep and then I pulled
out my sandwich's out with my banana and orange. My cousin and I went for a walk to the stage up front, When we came back from the front stage I saw Manu Vatuvei eating with his family.
Then I saw one man asking for his older graph on his hat, my auntie told me to take photo
of him and I did he looked straight at the camera.

My Holiday was about me and my Mum going to Tonga with my Mum’s friend and her daughter.
On the day we had to leave to go to the Airport we had to say goodbye to my family. I was so excited to go to see my uncle but I new it would be so hot. I said to my mum “I think we need to get to the airport now or we will be late for our flight.”

When we got to the airport we harried so they can send our bags to Tonga. We nearly missed our plane because we got their late and my auntie was waiting for us. We said “BYE” to everyone that was at the airport and gave our passports to the guy that was standing next to the door to go wait in the waiting room.

Me my mum, Auntie and my little cousin was waiting for the plane to come back. My Mum was taking photo’s of my cousin Shireen and I well we were playing with the cards.

Then we took photo’s well we were waiting to get on the plane, and then the people that was at the desk told as to go to the gates to get in the plane.

Then we walked till we got on the plane and they had this think that you can play on at the back of the chairs. I was so excited because when you go up in the air you get this feeling that your flying. After hours and hours we were in Tonga, when I stepped out of the plane it was really hot instead of cold air it was warm air. I saw my uncle sitting up on the roof were people wait for their family to come out of the plane. We walked inside the airport and it was hot I was standing there really hot. It was night time already we were the last people to get out of the airport.
