Dear Mr Parker

I am writing this letter to say thank you for making some time to come and talk to us about your experience as a builder.

It was very interesting because you talked to us about the building industry and about the steps of building a house, how much you get paid and what kind of job you do as a builder. Thank you for inspiring us.

Yours sincerely

Siosifa

Taekwondo Session

Today on a cold, shivering morning I took taekwondo.The first thing I did was take off my shoes.Then I got straight into punching three different types of pads, I did two different types of punching, punching from the head and jumping and punching down or up into the pad.Then I did kicking  sideways into the pad.After That  I learnt how to  get out of two different types of how people grab you.Next we finished off by playing a game of helicopter, that was a very fun session and I really enjoyed it.

Museum visit

On a cold winter morning we had a trip to the Auckland Museum and this is my reflection on the trip.The event i found most interesting was the volcano house because it was realistic.The thing  learned was that there was three different types of how volcanoes erupt and the three are named explosion, fountain, and flow.The thing i want to learn more about, is tornadoes.  

My holidays

In the holidays I was in a tournament called the Bill Mclaren tournament.It’s a tournament where four of the sides South, East, West and Central come together to play each other to see who wins.I was in the East side Bill Mclaren team.The tournament was placed at Teachers Eastern and also held at Dunkirk. The tournament was for 5 days, Monday-Friday, Friday was the finals day.

On Monday we played South side team, it was a very hard game but South couldn't beat us, the score was 56-5.On Tuesday we played West and also beat them, and the score  was 21-0.On Wednesday it was cancelled due to bad  weather,but on the day we had to go training then had a barbecue after training.On Thursday we played central side and also beat them 56-7, a win which got our East side team straight into the finals against south side team on Friday.So on Friday We played South and gave them a even bigger thrashing of 98-0 and took out the tournament for the first time in about the 6 years.

After That week i felt relieved and happy at the same time because we took out the tournament,it was a very hard week but we were still able to beat the teams.

Badminton

Today we had a session of badminton,which was coached by Robby,badminton was very fun and we were very tied at the end of the session.We played badminton matches in partners and played other groups in different courts.That was a very fun time playing and that was also my favorite part.I found difficult trying to hit the high shuttles coming from above and i really had fun.

Matariki poem

On Tuesday a person called Darren came over to help us write a poem about Matariki,he shared 2 of his poems to us and it was also my favorite part too.

Matariki is the year of celebration

Of joy,

Of harvest,

Of cooking and preserving food

It is about the 7 stars shining brightly

In the northern east sky

About 7 beautiful sisters

And 7 handsome boys

A legend affected by the 7 sisters

now the 7 sevens stars of matariki

Which is celebrated through  

Singing,dancing to lively music

Weaving and also telling stories

About our ancestors  

Also when the whanau get together

And also about having fun together
