My Writing About Grief!

Have you ever had someone in your life that has just passed away?  I asked my mum what was she like? and my answer was amazing because she always wanted to look after me.
When my nana first saw me she knew I was her favourite grandchild she had,  and then she took me every time I had finished school  she wanted to look after me even when I was sick.
She spoiled me with lots of treats and fizzy and when my dad found out he would be made because she gave me fruit lollies creamed doughnuts and other things.


The only thing I loved about her was when she took me everyday and every weekend it was like she raised me as her own. Also when I stayed over her house my cousin would want me to sleep with her and when I went in her room she had a hammock on the ceiling with toys in it, I would always ask for one and then I had all of them. Then when I had all the toys on the bed I wanted to sleep with my nana and I wouldn’t sleep till I got what I wanted.


When we went traveling she wanted something from me and so I said  “yes and asked her what was it” she said “when you go to Samoa can you buy me a necklace” “sure thing” my mum said, “NO  I want it from her”. My dad gave me twenty dollars and I changed it to Samoa’s money, and when I ran to the market I bought one necklace and one bracelet.



When she died we suddenly got a call from my uncle telling me what had happened and then I told my parents what happened and then we just packed our bags and paid for the room and went to the airport waiting for our plane to arrive. Then for 17 hours for us to get back to New Zealand.
When we went to the marae she was already there and then they took her lid off and I was the first one to see her and then I put her necklace on her and everyone else started to cry.


Now to this day she was my favourite person in my life.

The Worst Thing I Ever Did!

On Friday the 17th of August was Pt England Schools cross country. We all gathered together to do chants and watch all the little kids go first.

First we cheered for our houses like Matatua or Te Arawa and Tainui also Takitimu. Those are all the houses people compete for and also we all wanted our house to win. Finally we get back to where we started. My legs were aching and everything was sore automatically I fell straight to the ground and then I was told at least I had finished it.

My legs were covered in mud and my shoes were ruined and after I had to chuck them away but when I had told my parents what we did and how long it took and they said “hurry up we're going to see her aunty” as I walk away I say “don't you want to know what happened”.

Thank You Emilee for checking my work.

Go For Gold.

Do you really know what makes an awesome athlete? I think athletes who practice will succeed in what they try to achieve. Some people say some athletes are just born that way or others same its a combination like being born that way and practicing to succeed.

Being a athlete must be really cool because they get to travel all over France, isn’t that fun? sometimes I wish I could be an athlete. Being someone who represents our country people all over New Zealand.

I think it’s awesome to compete in the Olympics because it is a big part where all the countries get to take part in the Olympics.

Thank You Chanel.

When Is The Right Time To Swear?


Room 19 at Ptengland school have been reading about Swearing.
Did you know that a little city outside of Boston has banned swearing.  
Boston is just outside of the U.S. They had wrote in an article saying that if you swear in public you will get a fine that will cost $20 U.S dollars.





My interesting story is about when to swear and is it the
right time to talk but with the right language.
People say that everytime is the right time and other people say that it is never the right time to swear.


SWEARING!!!! we all know that is not good so why do we do it?,
swearing is not really a good thing to do especially in front of little kids
but when we do it in front of little kids it's not good influence and elderly
because they will just yell at you like (don't use that kind of language).
It is mostly up to you  to decide but if you wanted guidance then
I would say that you shouldn't really be using that kind of language.


Most people say that swearing is ok because they think its ok for when they are having a argument,
what do you think? do you think it is ok to say whenever you want to swear?.
Swearing isn't allowed in churches and in the cemetery, swearing is like bad influence.


What do you think of swearing? do you like it? don't you like it?.
Swearing many people like the language and many more don't like the language.
To be honest I may do sometimes but not most times, like a visitor came to our school
and told us how she got picked on but if she didn't start reading she wouldn't have
been smart and used her words.


I think that swearing can be offensive to some people you may choose to say it too, people that love their culture can say that it is in the bible and swearing isn't aloud and should be fined to whoever chooses to say it.
So that raps up my whole story about what I think of swearing.


People normally say that slang means it’s another name for swearing, but it actually another name for a country.









Thank You Naomi.

Humans Going To Mars.


A plane powered just by the sun's rays has flown from Switzerland to Morocco.
It's the first time a plane has been able to fly across continents without using any fuel.
The flying machine's wings are covered in solar panels which turn the sun's rays into electricity to power the plane's propellers.
The plane's engineers are hoping that by 2014 they'll be able to use it to fly all the way around the world.
The first place were all this took place was in Netherland.
Wouldn’t that be fun to be on a plane but it would be scary too.

Thank you Emilee.
