The lost and found!!

Thank You Jam Bus Team

Dear Jam Bus Team,
We thank you for taking time to come to our school to record some songs for us. It was an honour to be recorded because it was all of our first times being recorded live.


We are grateful for being recorded and being put onto a CD so we can remember this remarkable moment.


I felt very nervous being recorded and it was fun seeing all the equipment that helps you to record. We all appreciate what you guys have done for us and the school. We know that it is heaps of money to pay for the CD’s, we really appreciate it all.

Yours sincerely, Patrick

Squash!!

“I am so excited to learn the new sport that we are going to learn, I wonder what it is?”

On the first day of school on term 4 we were going to be learning a new sport, the new sport we were going to learn was squash. We were having squash in our school hall. When we arrived at the hall we saw to instructors.
When we all settled down the instructors introduced themselves there names were Michael and Phil. I really was looking forward to squash because it looked really fun but Michael told us that they were going to be teaching us squash for only 3 days I was hoping that they were going to stay to teach us squash for longer so we could be good at it.
Michael told us that the real squash court was three times bigger than the squash court that they brought in and the ball was smaller and harder and very bouncy. I was so impatient to play squash.

The best women and men player in 2013 are Nicol David and Ramy Ashour. Squash is going to participate in the Olympics on 2016 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
The sport of Squash was invented in the 1800s. Squash was invented in a school in England called Harrow School because they had racquets and at the school they were hitting the ball onto the wall, so it is similar to squash.
Women normally wear a short skirt and T-shirt or a sport dress and men normally wear comfortable shorts and T-shirt and a bandana to suck all the sweet up from dripping.

As we were going to go into squash Michael and Phil gave some Registration forms for squash so if we wanted to play and to learn some more rules we were going to be allowed to join squash at Panmure Lagoon Stadium. In our lesson we were going to play a new game the game was called King of the court. I couldn’t wait to play it. Phil told us that we could pick out of 5 squash courts or you could go in the practise court.

I was in court number 1 that court was the main court and it also had a back wall so we could use the back wall to hit it on the front wall. My first opponent was Seuati and I beat him. Michael said that he was going to time us for 6 minutes a round and the two highest point scores stay in that court and the three lowest go down to the other court. Me and Rachel stayed in the same court and we were waiting for the other 3. My highest score on squash was 15 which is heaps. The first game I had  was against Rachel and she beat me and she had 1 point. But luckily when the round was finished I won with 11 points. Then the next opponents were Misiotei and Tokilupe. I won again with 12 points but Misiotei was quite good scoring 7 points against me which is quite good. Then Michael said that this was going to be the last round of King of the square. The people in my square were Rachel, Me, Kalolaine and Ma’ata.

When time was up I scored the most points I scored 15 points. But I really wanted to go to the other stations because I justed stayed in court 1 for the rest of the lessons. When Michael told us that the time was up we all sat down and Michael and Phil had a question for us the we had to research the question was who is the best women and men the answer was Nicol David from Malaysia for the best women and Ramy Ashour from Egypt for the men. When it was the end of the lesson I was sad because I really enjoyed squash it was a cool sport to play and it is good exercise to keep you fit.

Last day of the Holidays :-)

Today was a fun day because we went to Youthtown Central in the city. Youthtown Central is a bigger Youthtown than our one Panmure and also Central was the first Youthtown. When we got to Central we were told that we were having a Competition against 3 other teams from Central because they had a lot of people and they had to split them up. The first Activity we did was to design our own Youthtown Panmure banner for the Competition, it was fun. Then when we finished doing our banner we were told that the next one was the hardest one out of all of them. When we got to the Next Station we had to get into 2 groups one group was making a Crane and the other group was making a Marble course. We finally completed it which proved that we worked together and had Teamwork. When it was lunch time we got to have a swim in their pool and they were to going to put a course we could do in the pool. I did the course it was so easy. But sometimes I fall into the water. Today was a fun day to celebrate the Last day of the Holidays.

What a Cool Day :-)

Today was a cool day because the theme of the day was Africa Safari and we got to decorate stuff that match up with it. I made a African hat and Binoculars. The First thing we did was playing Cricket/Soccer. Cricket Soccer is just like Cricket but you add some skills of Soccer. So in Cricket/Soccer you use a Soccer ball instead. Then you bowl or throw the Soccer Ball and they have to kick the ball. If they kick the ball you have to run to a base and back. If you kick the ball and someone else catches the ball you are out. After we finished playing Cricket/Soccer we had morning tea. After morning tea we started to make our African Hat and our Binoculars after we finished making them the Staff decided who had the best things. I was happy because I was a tie with another boy because my Hats were one of the best. I had a very cool day.

The Best day at Youthtown :-)

Today was a very fun day because we were playing lots of fun games. The first game we played was Touch Rugby I was very good at playing it. When we were told to go in the Activity Zone we were told to get into pairs an that we were going to make or if you would you could design your Pizza with your partner. I was with my best friend there Zach me and him used the ingredients of Pepperoni, Cheese Ham, Tomato Sauce, Tomato and Chicken. After the Pizza were cooked we got to eat it I thought that our Pizza was delicious. So when it was lunch we could play in the Gym we were playing Dodge ball. Dodge ball was fun for me because no one called get me out. Then when we were finish playing Dodge ball all of us went to the Park on Tripoli Rd. When we got back from the Park we were going to have a meeting. Everyday we have a Star of the Day and Word of the Day. I was Word of the Day because the word of the day was respect and the Staff thought that Ii was showing respect and acting like a role model.So after the meeting was finished we were watching a movie and I was coloring people's hair with Hair Chalk it was kind of fun just coloring people's hair. Then just before I left my friend Zach did my hair into green it looked cool.

Long day Riding :-)

Today was a long day for me because I was out for most of the day. In the morning Me and my Dad went to get a new part for his van. Straight away after we left that we went to go some Breakfast we had Wendy's in Otahuhu.Me and My Dad ha the same meals we had the Platter and a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Muffin. After we finished our meals we went to get a new Rego for My Dad's van in Mt Wellington. Then My Dad was talking to my Uncle and my Uncle said to meet them at the flea-market in Otara. So when we got home we went to get change into our biker gears. So we were at the flea market and they decided that we were going to Ride for one of there friends and my dad's friend's for his unavailing because he passed away 2 years ago. The unavailing was all the way in Paeroa near Hamilton. When we arrived there, there were a lot of Motorbikes because he was a Biker as well. The Haka they did for him was amazing and quite scary as well. After we left the unavailing we went to see a Rugby League game it was going to be a tribute to him.The final score for the game was a draw 18 all. After we left the League game we went to Hamilton to go see my Uncle, Aunty and cousins because their house burned down. But my Uncle wasn't there. So we went to see if he was at the Burned House but we thought we just missed him. So then we headed back to Auckland. But then we decided that we were going to a Vietnamese Cafe Restaurant to have Dinner I had 8 Spring Rolls and a Coconut Thick shake.

Going Training for Rugby League :-)

After I got picked up from Youthtown we went straight to my Toa Samoa Rugby league training at Panmure District School. While we were waiting for the Coach to set up the cones for our training me and the rest of my team were playing Touch to get warmed up. Training for me is really good because it can keep us fit and stay focused when we are playing against a different team. In training today we had stations and were split into groups of 3 or groups of 4. After training was finished we had to practice our Samoan Haka called the Siva Tau.We picked up the Haka well because there were some boys in the team who played for Samoa last year and that already knew the Haka. After training the Coach told us to go and practice the Haka so we know it well enough.

A fun day I had Today :-)

Today it was fun seeing all the other kids costumes. My costumes was Hulk but I couldn't take a photo of me in the costume. They said that we were going to be looking forward to a fun day. At Youthtown we could color in Superheros, Make Superhero masks and make our own logo for us. For cooking we made Cupcakes with delicious icing on the top. Also we were allowed to put little bits of Candy Floss.We were split into 3 groups so we could make the Cupcakes on our own. After we made the Cupcakes we were allowed to put icing and choose a color of icing. The color of our icing was Green and it tasted delicious. After they were cooked and baked and put all of the icing and the Candy Floss on we could eat it, it was so delicious.

What I am looking forward to doing today

Today at Youthtown the theme is Superheros and I am going to dress up as avenger. I am looking forward because I want to see the rest of the kids costumes so it is going to be exciting.

Exploring the 18 hundreds

Today with my Youthtown we went to the Howick Historical Village it was fun. I have been there already with school. Today it was awesome to learn about what they did in the olden days back in the 18 hundreds. Nearly to the end of the day we had a treasure hunt that was organized for us. We had to find stuff in each cottage or room that is supposed to be in the 21st century. At the end of the treasure hunt a lady read the results and my team won with 11 out of 14 and the other teams were equal with 10 out of 14. I was happy my team won.
