My favourite story in TOITOI

[Introduction]
On Monday the 7th of May 2018 the people from TOITOI visited us and gave us book ten of TOITOI.
Mona and Joe came and their team.
They came because they wanted to encourage us to publish a book.

First we split up in groups and we read stories together. My Favourite story was fireworks it was about how happy a little girl and her family loved to watch the Maori fireworks. she loved it when her mum and dad put a blanket around her and let her sit on the roof of the car. 


My Other favourite story was why I hate swimming on Mondays. I really enjoyed how she described the story. She explained why she did not like swimming. She said she did not like swimming because if you changed you had to put your tell over the pee from the boys changing room. Next she said once she tried to stay out of swimming by not bringing her togs. This time she said if she left her togs her and her friend will get cloths from the lost and found which was just sacks. She also said if you had no togs you would have to swim in cold icy water as part of a punishment. Lastly she said if you changed you had to watch the brave people swim a bit longer and get splashed with water.


Finally My Last story is My Friend Dominic. It was about how Konzay missed Dominic and he said Dominic was the nicest person to him and that Dominic came with a carving from Tonga. Konzay also mention that Dominic let him have one of   his carving. Konzay also said the carving is in his room. Also Konzay said Dominic taught him how to do a Tongan dance. Lastly he said Dominic is Tongan and Fijian.



 [Conclusion]
The last thing is it made me feel like I was there and It reminded me of when me and my family went to see the matariki fireworks.

In my holidays

On the second Saturday on the 28th April we had my uncles 21st birthday celebration. First we decorated the hall me my mum,dad,2 sisters,2 brothers and my other uncle and aunty. We blowed some balloons up and put some marbles on the table we also put covers on the tables. 


Next we went home and started getting ready and started cooking we made some potatoes salad and crab salad my grandpa made curry and chopsuey. My aunty arrived home with the key and she got all the tapas and mats ready. after we were ready it was time to leave to the hall when we arrived we waited outside the hall because there was a rugby meeting. 


When we went in the hall we layed the tapas and mats on the floor and we put the cake and the key on top of the tapa. next we set the food in the kitchen. Later on family and friends started arriving. The photo booth was set up and next the celebration started. The first thing we did was wait for my uncle the birthday boy and his girlfriend to arrive so we can surprise him. Before my uncle saw us he was blind folded and when he took off his blind fold all the lights went off and we all said surprise!!! out loud.



When my uncle saw my aunty,uncle,grandpa and my dad he hugged them and cried. He was happy to see the picture of my nana. After that we did a prayer and we gave my uncle his key and my grandpa gave my uncle a carving my nana wanted to give to him. Next we gave my uncles cake to his aunty we gave the top layer and we gave blankets,mats and tapas. Later on they were serving food and next the dances. The first dance was my sister after my sister was my cousin and next my other cousin. when I went to the bar man he said Im wasting my money because I bought 2 chocolate bars 1 chips and 6 cokes but I said I can afford it. Finally we prayer and finished the celebration the last thing that happend was that my uncle had to drink 10 bottles of beer.

Now I felt happy and I wish It could have been bigger and longer the celebration also I wish that there was more food.

Reflection on Term 1 goals

Reading:
My reading goal is to read every day at home with expression.

Achieved because I read every day and I used expression.

Writing:
My writing goal is to use punctuation marks in my writing and to add more details also to write neatly.

Almost because I only used some of my goals.

Maths:
My maths goal is to ask more questions on the mat and learn all my timetables.

Needs Work because I talk too much on the mat.

The Meuseum

In the museum I experienced the trench.  It felt like a rock and the sacks were at the end. It felt harder than the real sack and, I think the real trench was made out of mud and the soft sacks. In the the trench I saw a small spade, gun, knife and the holy bible. The holy bible was small. It was smaller than a clock. The cover was blue and it was a square. The trench was dark and a little bit cold. At the museum we found Mrs Shorthand husband great great grandfather, he was in the war. We also saw the names on the wall. It had thousands of names on the wall as well. The soldiers all had a place to sleep in the trench. It would of looked like a cupboard where they slept.
