Mountain Climbing

 

Hello everyone, it's me Finau and this is a piece of writing I wrote. Even though it is the holidays, we can still do blogging. I checked out our class site and saw this holiday task/activity. Check out my story!  

I’ve always loved doing crazy things in my life like jumping out of a plane, scuba diving, riding a hot air balloon, riding a roller coaster ride and, well you get the point. Today I decided to do outdoor rock climbing/mountain climbing. I have tried a lot of things but not this but I guess it’s time I did. I began my journey but before I did, I bought a couple of things to use when I climb the mountain.

I packed everything I needed for this climb. Soon I got on the road. At the same time I was feeling very nervous and pretty excited. Once I got there, I got ready for this climb. I had my phone with me (if I’m in an emergency situation). I began the climb.

I was feeling shaky at first and I continued climbing and feeling that shaking feeling. I had no idea how to climb so I was discovering different ways to climb. As I continued, it began getting a little bit rocky and nowhere for my hands to go. That’s when I started panicking. I kept on doubting myself and thinking of bad things that would happen to me. I grasped onto a part where I could put my hands on.

I kept on climbing but I couldn’t! I was getting the shaky feeling but it felt as if I was gonna make me fall. The one thing that will help is NOT to look down. This feeling carried on bothering me so I stopped but didn’t let go. I was a petrified person holding onto a mountain, I was suspended from this mountain.

Even though I was in this situation, I found the courage to carry in climbing. It was weird but felt like it was a miracle. I tried thinking happy thoughts and improvised. After that I got closer from where I was and that annoying shaky feeling was leaving me. Yay! I ascended this mountain and I’m proud that I did.

Finally I reached the top! I will say it again because I’m proud of myself, I ascended this mountain and I’m proud that I did. This was a really rocky and scary climb. I am so glad I reached the top. Out of all the crazy things I have done in my life, this was super scary (even though I did scarier stuff). I probably won’t do this again but if I did, I would get some people with me on this climb.

Term 1 Highlights!

 

Hey everyone, it' me Finau. This is my term 1 highlights. 

Term 1 started pretty well until lockdown happened. It was so crazy. When I started year 7, all of the year 8 were really kind and helpful. We played so really fun games. Soon lockdown happend. It was so strange and once we got back to school, it was still strange. Luckily we went back to normal but then we went into another lockdown. I already got the drill and knew what to do. We carried on doing online learning and came back to school. We did cool stuff like playing games and making art. We went on a walk down Anderson Ave and went to the Genesis America's cup trip but  my highlight for this term was meeting Prime Minister, Jacinda Adern! I was so pleased and lucky to meet her. She was very kind and caring and shared some awesome messages. This term was fantastic (even with the lockdowns)!

ANZAC Art

 Hi everyone, it's me Finau. This is my ANZAC art I did yesterday. We used tea bags to make the modern background. We did a cut out of a soldier and painted it around the edges like a out line. We then cut out some poppies and painted them. We used some paper but it was really delicate and we put them on the flowers. Then we put the flowers in the place we wanted them on and painted stems. Here is the final piece (look above at the picture). I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Bye!

ANAZAC Day Writing

ANZAC day is a very important event that we celebrate here in New Zealand and in Australia. ANZAC stands for “Australia, New Zealand, Army, Corps”. In world war one Great Britain declared war on Germany. They wanted more land so New Zealand and Australia joined Great Britain because they were under Britain. The ANACs landed at Gallipoli but at the wrong place. The other Army was up on a hill and once the ANZACs hopped off the ship, people started dying. The army started shooting the ANZACs and some were trying to carry on while their friends died in front of them. Lots of people died that day, like a LOT. Only 70 survived. That was INCREDIBLE bravery. This is why we celebrate ANZAC day on April the 25th. We should all remember those you fought. 

Hello everyone, it;s me Finau and this is my writing for today. We wrote a small piece of writing about ANZAC day. I hope you have en enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Bye!

My Visual Mihi

 

Hi everyone! Today I am going to be sharing my visual mihi. These are 4 values of my life. 

The first is my family, I love them very much, with all my heart. They mean so much to me. 

The second is my culture. I chose to do the Tongan flag because it represents my culture and where my family and I are from. I also chose the small island which is Maui Hawaii because I was born there and some of my family live there. 

The third is my religion, I go to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. There is also a small book called "The Book Of Morman" and that is the most important book in our church. There is another important thing in our church too and it is Jesus Christ. He is the person who gave us life (that is our beliefs). The golden necklace shows the temple in Utah. I received that necklace when I joined Youth this year. 

The last is my education, this is very important because I want a very good job.  Plus, it will help we in the future and it will help we right now in my life.

The Baby-Sitters Club Kristy's Big Day - Home Learning

 

Hello everyone, it's me Finau and this is my homework. We had to choose a book and read the first chapter and summarise it. We then had to predict what happens in the next chapter. I finally found a book that I enjoy reading which are comic books (and much more). I just got it today, this is my duffy book. 

Kristy Thomas is about to have new Step Siblings. Her Mum is getting married and she is excited to have new siblings. The problem is that they are moving to where her step Dad lives. She will have to leave her friends and The Baby Sitters Club. Soon they get called to come and have dinner. They talk about the wedding and they said that everyone will be apart of the wedding. Kristy is shocked. Her Mum asks her is she wants to be her Bridesmaid. Kristy screams with joy and is so happy she is a Bridesmaid. The rest of her sibling are doing important stuff like being a flower girl or however you call it, Best Man? Kristy is still shocked and glad she is a Bridesmaid. 

I predict in the next chapter that they are just going to school like a normal day and tell her friends about the BIG NEWS! That's pretty much what I predict.

Tongan Pattern Tokelau Feletoa

 Hey everyone, it's me Finau and this my Inquiry task We had to choose a pattern and write about it. It has to come from your culture. This is mine.

This pattern represents my Tongan culture. This pattern is a Tongan Ngtau. This pattern comes from the island Vava'u in Tonga and it also came from the village Feletoa. The lady how made this Ngtau named it Tokelau Feletoa. This is really important to me because it comes from my culture and I think it comes from my Mum's relative's village.
