QLD vs NSW

On Wednesday it was game day. QLD(Queensland) vs NSW(New South Wales). This is the best rivalry in Rugby League history(Fact). QLD is my fav team, Since I was born inside the QLD area. So on that day I was getting ready to watch the game. I was so pumped because it was the final game of the series. QLD was up 2-0, to make it 3 in a row it will be an awesome clean sweep. It was 30 minutes from the game, but I completely forgot that it was Gym day. I was so gutted because I had to go. I missed out 3/4 of the game which was disappointing. But at least I saw the best part of the game. It was an intense game 14-12. 2 more minutes to play, and NSW had a run away down field. They scored and won the game. But QLD still won the series.

Identity Poem

This is my poem. It's not a poem I originally wrote but it means a lot to me. It's about someone that's trying to be something they're not etc. I hope you enjoy this poem. Cheers

Educate yourself enough

So you may understand

The ways of other people

But not too much

That you may lose

Your understanding

Of your own

Try things palagi

Not so you may become palagi

But so you may see the value

Of things Samoan

Learn to speak Samoan

Not so you may sound Samoan

But so you may

Feel the essence

Of being Samoan

Above all

Be aware and proud

Of what you are

So you may spare yourself

The agony of those who are asking

“What am I”

The day that changed my life

I will never forget the day I met my best friends Taki, Sam, Chris, Levi R, and Fineasi. The first time I attended Glenbrae, I was very shy and really uncomfortable. I thought school wasn’t for me. I didn’t have friends .I was a lonely emotional little boy.

And.......... Here's how my school life got better.

I was so lonely that I cried and really wanted to go home(So embarrassing). Then these random boys came up to me and said hey want to be friends. Their names were Taki, Sam, Chris, Levi R and Fineasi F. I replied with a soft voice. Okay?. Boom! We became best friends. We played together, We laughed together, We cried together(Not lol) we even got in trouble together.

We always have each others backs no matter what. Sadly Fineasi left our school to move to Wellington. He didn’t have a choice but we missed him a lot. It was like one piece of a cake eaten(haha) It wouldn’t be complete if one peice got eaten.(Get it) I’m basically saying we wouldn't be a complete group if one person left.

We were still being cool about it but really inside we missed him.  Over the years we have had our ups and downs. But at the end of the day were all brothers. Even now were close and still doing things together. We always got each other’s back. That’s what you call SQUAD. Not a Gang(SQUAD).  Love them like brothers. Not in a weird way but brotherly way.

Hip Hop Clubs

Today we had clubs. We have clubs twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays. My club is Hip Hop Dancing.

Our club is assembled in the hall because were the largest group out of all of the clubs. Today was a change, mostly we choreograph our own dance moves in groups but today we watch a video on how to learn basic hip hop moves. I was stoked to hear but it wasn't really the song most of us like. But it's okay at least we got to watch a video. We watched it multiple of times while learning how to do the dance moves. Some students weren't listening but Most were. It took a while until we started to settle down but we settled later on. We learned the dance moves for about 30 minutes and then we put all the dance moves together and did all at once. We ended up learning half of the moves. Hopefully our next session we will finish all of the dance moves. Today's clubs was fun and tiring at the same time but mostly fun. Later on we finished. We got our bags and left to go home.

Basic Potato Recipe

Last week we were surprised by Miss Stone. It was part of our writing group. We had to make a dish but it had to have potato in it. All the boys in our group all joined and made a group. We wanted to make Potaco. It's a combination of Potato and Taco. It was really tasty. Each group made their own dish.
Here's a basic recipe on how to make Our Very Own POTACO!:

Basic Potato recipe

Ingredients:

• One large potato
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon of milk
• ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese
• salt and pepper
• Sour cream 1 tea spoon each
• 50 grams of mince (pre made)

Instructions:

1. Rub potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and poke a few times with a fork.
2. Microwave it for about 10 minutes (5 minutes on each side)  or until a knife slides easily into the center.
3. Cool for 10 minutes
4. Cut potatoes in half and scoop out the center leaving about ¼ inch around the sides.
5. Mash potatoes, butter and milk together.
6. Stir in half the cheese, the mince and sour cream.
7. Fill potato cups with the mash.
8. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and place under the grill until the cheese has melted.

To make the mince filling, heat the olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat and cook the onion for 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add the mince and cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon. Add the tomato paste and water and season to taste with chilli, salt and pepper. Stir the mixture well and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes.

Cheers

Shine a light Show

Today after morning tea Glenbrae School all assembled at our school Hall. We were invited to see a wonderful show performed by Perform Musicals. The name of their show was called "Book week in Schools Shine a light".

My feedback: The show was awesome. Most people said it was the best show ever. It was okay, still awesome but not the best for me. I like how they acted out the books they had selected. My favourite part was when Rose was looking at her reflection. They were both sweating a lot. Overall the show was awesome for all students and teachers.

Kiwi Sport(Netball)

Thursday 26 May 2016

Today Room 7 had a session on Kiwi Sport (Netball). Today was a very fun session. As our warm up we played shadow follower-defend the ball. It wasn't my favorite but it was a warm up. Our second activity was the intercept activity. We had to anticipate the ball, and read the person who was throwing the ball. We were in groups of 4 and 2 people had to try and intercept the ball from reaching the other side.

The next activity was Four corner attack/ defending. There were 4 corners and 1 attacker and 1 defender also 1 caller. So the point of the game is the 4 corners have to get the ball to the attacker and the defender has to try and steal the ball from the attacker legally. That was one of my favorite games from today session.

Our last activity was the most funniest and funnest. We were split into 2 groups made out of 13 students. It was basically Boys vs Girls and some boys. The aim of the game was that Anne(Instructor) calls out a number and the persons number that has been call out has to run to the center of the court and has to take the ball from the hoop. It was a really long and fun activity. But unfortunately our team lost. We were devastated but at the end of the day its just a game.

I had a fun session, even though I don't play netball but it's actually pretty cool not better than rugby tho(lol). Next week is the last session hopefully we will all enjoy it.

Cheers
