My Sister's Big Wedding!


“I’m so proud of you” my mum said to my eldest sister Denisha, the day before her wedding. I couldn’t stop thinking about how old she’s gotten since she was a kid. Everyone was really excited for her big day, and so was I! My sister was really happy and anxious for her big day.

The person that was getting married to my sister was this Tongan guy called Nela (Daniel Havili). He’s been together with my sister for three years and they decided that they wanted to be together forever. He’s funny, cool, tall, good looking and a fob.

Waking up, I quickly jumped out of bed. It was the day of the wedding. All the boys dressed up into their suits that they were wearing to the wedding, I was really excited because it was the first time I had ever worn a suit. After my hair was done, we were just on time for the limo to come pick us up.  

Sitting in the limo, we waited to get to the place we were going which was Waipuna.  Arriving there, we hopped out and went to the reception. My brother(Lepa) and I walked my sister down the aisle, hugged her, then handed her to her dad. He walked her to the front, where they were getting married. As my sister Denesha and Daniel were doing their thing, they both said ‘I do’ and everyone started clapping. They walked out happily together.

After celebrating their wedding, the boys did a fijian dance and it was really cool!  everyone had a big feed and a good time.

Energy Drinks Report


Energy drinks are really popular nowadays, more than 1,000 energy drinks are been sold each day. Energy drinks are beverages like Red Bull, RockStar and Monster. There used for different reasons like recovery or a energy boost before sports.
I like energy drinks because they are nice and it gives me energy. They not just increase your level of enthusiasm but they also puts your confidence up. The reason why drinks like Powerade, Loaded and gatorade provide us with energy is because it has lots of sugar and caffeine. Carbohydrates are need for our body, and  energy drinks have that.

One reason why I worry about drinking too much energy drinks is because of the drugs in it, It’s also addicted.  I found out that a 18 yr old Irish athlete teen died after drinking a few Red Bull cans.

Caffeine is the most common ingredient that is used in a energy drink. It’s also the chemical that provides the energy boost.

Eggs Report


New zealanders eat 2 and a half million eggs a day and 920,000,000 are eaten per year. Most of the eggs that are composed are caged hens.


There are 4 ways that eggs are produced, barn eggs, caged eggs, free range eggs and organic eggs. The 3 different styles people eat eggs are poached, fried and scrambled. My favorite style is scrambled. The most eggs that are eaten the most are caged eggs.


Eggs are high in protein, they are easy for our bodies to digest. Eggs protein offers vitamins and minerals  Cooked egg protein are better than raw egg . Protein is mostly in the yolk of the egg because it has just about all the nutrients.


Caged hens live in an area with lack space to lay their eggs. Their cages are on an angle for the eggs to roll down and get collected by a conveyor belt. There are 6 hens per cage, unfortunately hens can’t exercise.

Free range and organic hens are not like caged hens, they eat grass and chicken feeds, have more space to  run around and can flap their wings.

Iron Man 3!!


“Let’s go! Its starting soon!” I shouted at my brother. My family was rushing to the movies because we were excited. Going up the escalators, I could see many people going to watch a movie. After getting our tickets, we waited for our movie to start, so we played some games in the arcade. A few minutes later we walked in to our cinema. The movie we watched was called ‘Iron Man 3!’

Eating my popcorn, I was getting more and more excited because it was my first time going to the movies this year and my friends and cousins were saying it was an awesome movie! “Its starting!” my Mum whispered to me. I was eager to lock my eyes on the movie screen.

My favorite part of the movie was when Iron Man and The Patriot (Iron man’s friend) sneaked on  killian’s Ship (Evil leader) and tried to save Iron Man’s girlfriend Pepper.  As they were making their way to  Pepper, one of Killian’s  servants spotted them and started shooting. Iron Man had no help, so he called his other suits that were controlled by a computer. All the suits starting attacking Killian and his servants.

I hope that there’s a Iron Man 4 because I really like Superhero movies like these.

Easter



Finally! Its Easter, Running down stairs, I looked in the freezer and got my easter eggs. I munched them back like there was no tomorrow. I did many things on easter like have a B.B.Q, watch movies and play games like the Easter egg hunt.

Today the whole family came together to remember why God’s son Jesus sacrificed his life on the cross for us. He died to forgive all our sins, and everyone is grateful for that.

Do you know why Easter is on Sunday? well, its because Jesus died on a Friday (good Friday) and he came back to life on a Sunday and everyone celebrates that day. And If you are wondering why Easter bunnies are used on Easter, they are a sign of rebirth.

I can’t wait till Easter next year, so I can eat some more chocolate!

Polar Bears

The polar bear is the largest bear in the world. It lives on ice, and in the Arctic Ocean near the North Pole.

Polar bears have thick White coating of hair to keep them warm. They have sharp teeth to grab their food. Sharp claws, and bumpey paws to give them grip on ice

Usually Polar Bears live alone. But if the Mother has a cub She has to protect it for 2 and a half years, and  teaches the Cub how to hunt for food.

The Polar bear hunts seals for their main course. As the seal gasps for air through the breathing holes, the Polar Bear flips it out of the Ocean with their huge paws. And the Polar bear eats its prey with their sharp claws.

In the wild Polar Bears live for 20 years. In a Zoo one managed lived for 41 years.

RWC Tonga Vs Canada



On Wednesday the 14th September Tonga are playing Cananda at Northland Events Centre. I think the score would be 21-14 to Tonga.

Rugby World Cup Began


Finally, the Rugby World Cup began, as the Opening Ceremony for 2011 started it all off. There was a huge celebration for all over the world.`

The Opening Ceremony was a blast. Maori people performed many things, li
ke a huge Haka in front of a screaming crowd. The FireWorks were also a big hit, the biggest one ever in NZ.

The game that started the World Cup off was All Blacks vs Tonga. The 2 Hakas were the main thing I wanted to see,it showed the team determination and pride to play. I was really excited about this game despite the score not quite being what I expected from the All Blacks.Although the city struggled with huge
crowd, almost everyone argreed that the opening ceremony was a huge success.

Game 3 State Of Origin



It was game 3 in the State Of Origin and it was a battle between NSW and QLD. I went for Queensland because they have the best players and they have won for 5 years and I was hoping for 6 years. As New South Wales put boot to ball Sam Thaiday received it and ran a storming run to the defense. My favorite player in the team is Darius Boyd.

Suddenly in the second half QLD had a drop out and it fell in the hands of Anthony watmough. He ran very and shrugged out of the tackle of Ashlie Harrison and he twisted around and broke JONATHAN THURSTONS LEG!!!!!!! But the good thing was we was only out for 6 weeks. And in the end the score was 34-24 to QUEENSLAND!

10 minute technology challenge 2




I have decided that Darius make 4 tubes for the marble to go down. all of us are making 2 stands for each corner. I am making 9 pieces of tape to make it stabled so it does'nt fall. And 4 holes for the marble to travel down.

Our plan didn't go as planned as we drew it. But it was a really cool tower that we created. The good thing is that it was better then the last one we made. And the bad thing that that went wrong was there was a gap between the holes and it did not go through.
