What I learnt in Basketball Week 3!

*I learnt that if you chest pass you throw the ball chest to chest not other their head or on their knee.
*The other thing I learnt is that when you throw to another person you have to put your full energy to pass the ball like if they throw and someone intercepts their hand will get injured.
*If you dribble the ball you have to bend your knees with your back straight and I did that while I was playing with my teammates and that's how we won.

My Reading Role Week 3!

Today’s story took place in the sea. It was talking about Lee and Dad going fishing.
And we untied knots from the net full of fish.
My mothers day writing!

I nominate my mother because she is a loving person and she cares for her children. My mother always do  anything for her kids and gives them love with all her heart, and most of all  she always makes people welcome with all her might. Even though she is always tired by looking after the baby twins she always pushes me to play the piano.   My mum is very special and the best of all mums and I am very lucky to have her as a mother. 

!I LOVE MY MUM SO MUCH!

Basketball Experience!


Basketball Experience!

As I walked in the Tennis court I saw a man standing next to Mrs Tui I thought he was Randy Jackson but he wasn’t. When I was at my team Bruce told us to dribble the ball  and when I tried new techniques and skills for the first time  I enjoyed learning basketball.

I listened attentively to  Bruce, our instructor. He told us what our next activity was and I was so excited  I couldn’t wait.
“Come on! A’leina you can do it” shouted Robertanna so I did my hardest to win and I did, YES! I was so overjoyed.
We sat down 3rd and we lost our game but we never gave up hope.

I was Running and then I scored a goal and my team was cheering for me then it was phoenix's turn to score and he had a goal what a relief.

My Day at St Francis Retreat centre!

Zoom! went the car, Woo hoo as the wind blowed me with its air, I was with my Grandpa he was driving while I was at the back minding my own business. Yes! I made it to School just in time and look I saw robertanna she looked stunning with her skinny jeans. As I walked inside my classroom I saw the year 8’s waiting with excitment. Hi guys and they replied back Hi A’leina,and they said you look pretty with your dress, Thank you I replied back. When I saw my mum I was so happy because she was going to drop me off to St Francis Retreat Centre.


Wow! what a nice building I said with amazement. When we finally arrived there just in time for lunch I saw Brother Philip. Hello brother philip, and he waved to me. Later on the year eight’s walked inside the building and was excited to see their new rooms.

My Favourite Activity That I did at St Francis Retreat Centre was noahs ark, who are good leaders, and acting out the station of the cross.

What I learnt making arks is that when you make something do it with a partner and don’t just use cardboard. My leader is jesus and I want to follow his footsteps. Acting out the stations of the cross was awesome, it helped me learn what jesus did or experienced 2 thousand years ago.
