Porohu Best Holidays

In the holidays the first week we went to Wellington for five days. After that we went to Motuhe because it was my cousin Sarah’s birthday she turned 8 years old. We stayed there for 2 day’s, all I did was swim at the beach. We caught some flounder it was so yummy and juicy.

The next week we went to Skate-land it was very funny because a lot of people fell down ohh... yeah and I was one of them hahaha... On Tuesday we went to the pools it was boring because we had to stay inside.

Then on Friday we went to the movies and watched “Despicable Me” it was so funny.

Well that was the best part of my holiday. It was cool, I love my holidays because I got to spend my time with my family and also have fun.

What I enjoyed this term!!!!

This term we have been doing a lot of singing. We sing with Whaea Kathy on Monday’s. Whaea Kathy is a lot of fun because she makes it exciting for us. She has taught us alot of new songs but the songs I enjoy the most is the Rarotongan song and Si Ya Hama. My highlight for the term of course is singing with Whaea Kathy and I am going to miss her because she will not be back. BUT I am hoping she will come back.

Rugby Union

Rugby Union is a game played with a ball. The ball is shaped like a fish body. You don’t have to be skinny for this game you just have to be fit and know how to play. Rugby League is similar to rugby union but in rugby league you only get five tackles then you have to kick the ball in rugby union you place the ball on the ground. When you get a try you have to convert it. Convert means you have to kick the ball in the post. Rugby is played on a field that is measured exactly one hundred metres. The rules for rugby are no shoulder charge/no high tackles/no high fending/no forward passes/no tackling the person without the ball. That is how rugby union is played.

Dear Mrs Baker
I chose to write to you to explain why my dad deserves ‘A Caught Being Good Award’. He gives us money when we are struggling even though my parents are separated from each other. I love my dad from the bottom of my heart!
Yours Sincerely

My Brothers Fantastic Holiday

In the holidays my brother had so much fun. On Saturday 17th of July my dad and brother went to a rugby game. My brother was so excited because he got four signatures from the players. They also went to a skateboarding rink. My mum, sisters, baby brother and I just stayed at home. When my brother and dad came back my brother couldn’t stop talking about it. I guess that they had a great time.
Next term I might have a better time instead of staying at home.
That was a very special event that happened in the holidays for my brother.

My Awesome Day

My Uncle Jason had his birthday at our Marae in Raglan. My Aunty Jennifer organised it all. When we got to Raglan everyone was already there. We made our beds and went to play with our cousins. At six o'clock the hangi was ready and everybody went outside to the entrance of the hall where my Aunty Jennifer was. My three cousins sang a Maori song and performed for all of us. Everybody clapped and cheered for them and then my uncle said the karakia. After eating all that yummy food my cousin Tana went up and did a mean as haka. Some more of my family sang and performed too. It was a really awesome day.

SAVE THE WHALES

WHALES
The use of modern whaling methods is only one reason why whales are dying out. Pollution is slowly poisoning some whales. Fishing nets trap other whales or prevent them from reaching their feeding grounds. Low population’s also cause problems for some types of whales. Only 3,600 whales still swim the seas. These whales may have a hard time finding each other in the vast oceans. That means the whales cannot breed easily. This lowers the whale’s population even more. People should stop hunting whales. These creatures still need to survive. Whales need clean, safe places to live and raise their young. Unless we stop polluting the oceans and blocking them with fishing nets the whales may die out. The whales will probably survive only if we start taking better care of the world we share with them. Since prehistoric times people have hunted whales. Some people who live in arctic regions still kill whales to feed their families. But most modern whalers kill whales to sell them. Whale’s oil is used in soap, candles and machine oil. Whale’s meat is used for pet food as well. These things can be made from other materials. But people still keep killing whales. Methods of hunting whales have changed so much that many types of whales are endangered. These whales may die out and then there will be no whalers in the oceans.
