Destruction In North Shore!

Yesterday on the 3rd of May at 3pm a very fierce tornado came down upon the North Shore, Albany. The start of the massive destruction was absolutely gob smacking, and that was only the start of the viscous tornado! Citizens of the North shore were very shocked, all the fear they could feel was just to much even for the little ones, everyone’s adrenalin was pumping over the limit. From fierce winds and explosive power the mean beast had been released.

The aftermath was just unbelievable, the tornado left the people of North shore absolutely devastated. Only one or two very tragic deaths on that very fateful day. The peoples adrenalin had finally calmed down, but parents still looking for their little ones, and kids looking for their parents they were very worried.

The FANTASTIC Picnic

“We all live in a yellow submarine”, sung Point England school. We were all in the hall waiting anxiously to see if we were going to go to our annual picnic down at the reserve. Finally Mr Burt came and said, “Okay boys and girls lets get ready to go, “ I was full of excitement.

Reaching our destination at last. We had a little korero with Mr Burt and then we were off to find a spot to sit in.” Ahhhh”, sitting down and eating in the hot sun, I had one word to say, “Paradise”,that was a definite highlight. With a stunning view of the sea, it was just wonderful. Thinking to myself about what to do next, play touch, play kicks, make clay mud balls or just sit down and RELAX! I chose to just relax.

Unexpected shivers come down my spine and that was a sign that I was cold, so to warm up I stood up and decided that I should go and play kicks with Selena. It was my turn to kick the ball so I said its time to roll, so here it goes...BOOM the ball was off, it nearly went over the fence. Me and Selena played non-stop kicks it went on for ages, until I got tired and sat down.

As I sat down to eat my lunch I could hear a group of gossipers, and of course gossiping about something. Finally my friends came back and then we became a group of gossipers. As the day ended I was quite tired but I had a GREAT day!!

Glee Review

Greetings everyone, This here is my Glee review. It says what I like about the Glee performance we had today in the school hall. I liked how they showed all the different kinds of things that happen in Point England school.

Glee was run by Ms M( Meauliaumaselii ), I think she did a FANTASTIC job. Well done Ms M.

The costumes and the paintings were my favourite parts. Sitting through the performance was an honour. A job WELL DONE Glee!

Camp TC

Camp TC

“Ohhhh how I love morning runs”, I said sarcastically as I sat down in line ready to run. “Girls you can start to run now”, Mrs Nua said, I wasn't really tired oh well come to think of it I was really tired. I was jogging very slowly, like I didn’t even care. Finally I got to the end . I was so excited but the stink thing was that the group I was in (Carez) were serving breakfast, how could this get any worse I thought to myself. GREAT, Sugar and milk was all over my arms and hands.

Camp was was starting off as a shambles at first, but I thought to myself another three days of this wont hurt me, will it? Oh no whats next Kayaking, at that moment Ms Tito announced ,”Carez your going to Kayaking next”, that was the one thing I did not want to do at camp. Here we go again I thought bad luck was haunting me today.

Feeling the sand in between my toes felt really nice. Getting in to the nice, cold, fresh water made me happy and it felt like bad luck had vanished. I was so surprised to see that there were kayaks for two people. I was so excited to get in to the new kayaks for two people.

It was a bit nerve racking at first because there were two people in the same kayak, Sylvia told me to calm down, so I did. 10 minutes in to kayaking and I was too freaked out I was saying, “ What if we tip in a very deep part, and what if the waves push us beyond the green pole”, I was having a nervous brake down.

“One,two three”, that was the sound of me paddling.I finally calmed down, I found the cure at last. I got the hang of it now, It was very easy now that that I got the hang of it.

We spent about an hour in the water then me and Sylvia went for a little swim. I enjoyed half of that hour.

Welcome to Point England School

This is a movie I made which shows what goes on in Point England school. The movie is titled Welcome to PES, this has little snapshots and little movies of what happens around our whole school. We line up which shows courtesy also having assembly every Friday. The Point England Way is being respectful, being honest and showing the little kids the way. Even much much more than this goes on around our school. We be kind, respect others and being helpful, taking charge. This doesn't just help us it helps the community.

Little but Spectacular Camp Highlight

My favourite highlight at camp was ‘Rock Up’, they had many activities to do, but the one that stood out to me was the DUNKER because you never knew when you were going to get dunked in to the water. I liked it because it was surprising. It was a bit of a mystery to know weather you fall in. In the end all Rock up was about was having fun a working as a team . I wasn’t really use to the people in my group but I still got a long. Camp was also about learning our value for this year which is ‘Take Charge’, the teachers wanted to see if we could really take charge.
