Art Colouring Book


 This is my first Summer Holiday activity and I really enjoyed colouring this picture. It reminds me of my family having a holiday in Samoa and relaxing with one another. We are in the shade because it is very hot there. I like the colours I chose because they are peaceful colours.

"The Word Fairies" give me a dictionary


 Yesterday We had a visit from two "word fairies. Their names were Mrs Kearns and Carol They said that they sent over 20,000 Dictionaries to children in New Zealand and Samoan and also Tongan. The fairies have been coming to our school for the last ten years. I feel very special to have such a lovely book and I will look after it.

The best day with my Auntie

 The best day with my Auntie


One Friday my Aunty and I went to the pools early one morning. As we got there we waited for my friend and my friend's mum.


Ten minutes later we saw my friend’s car and waved at them because they didn’t see us. I didn’t know my friend’s brother was coming with them because I thought he was staying with their dad.


My friend and I were both excited to go to the wave pools. As soon as we got inside we had to pay a man at the counter. Suddenly my friend’s mum realised she had forgotten her card to pay. She told my friend to please go check in the car so she went to get it. My friend couldn’t find it and her mum asked the man if she can do paywave on her phone.


Later we went to change in the changing room. My friend had rainbow togs and she had goggles. But I had boring things like a singlet and shorts. We asked my Mum and Aunty if we could go to the wave pools right now. They said yes and we were excited so we went for a few dives. My friend always won in the dive challenge. 


My friend said if we wanted to go down the slide but we were scared. So we got brave and went anyway. As I went up, I realised I was scared of heights. When we got to ride my friend went on top and I was at the bottom when the green light was on.


 After about two hours of swimming and diving, we were very tired but so happy. It was the best day of my life and I hope we can go again soon.

Whakapapa Journey - by lora

 My Whakapapa Journey


Talofa, My name is Laura and I am Samoan. I am going to introduce you to my family. The biggest Koru is my great grandfather with a halo because I never got to see him when I was little. I know he loves me when he is watching over me. The second biggest Koru was my great grandmother who died a long time ago, and something my family didn't know or tell me about. Next is my Grandma who is in Samoa. She wants me to be good in school and get better grades. My family is the best.
