Warriors Vs Sea-Eagles

As the start of the NRL ( National Rugby League) came, the Vodafone Warriors had a game against the Manly Sea-Eagles from Aussie on Sunday last week. I was so excited! I really wanted to go and watch it LIVE at Eden park with the rest of the 37,500 people that attended.

Finally it was kick off. The manly sea-eagles were the first team to receive the ball. Glen Stewart did a great pop up and ran the ball up hard and strong gaining sixty meters for their team. After six minutes the manly sea-eagles scored a try, Tony Williams leaped into the corner. Sooner later they put together another try. Finally the Warriors get a try, as Shaun Johnson flicked the ball out to Manu Vatuvei to ran and score in the try zone. after 4 minutes Shaun Johnson finds a gap in the defence line and he steps, steps and try, right under the post. The referee go's to the decision pending  and loading............loading...........TRY!!!!

It was half time and what an half that was the Sea-eagles winning 16-10. The Warriors need to keep it up to win this game. Its second and the Warriors take the first hit up. They finished their first set of six and now its manlys turn to attack. The Sea-Eagles score again making the points 22-10 as Tony Williams runs over Kevin Locke. At the end of this game Manly Sea-Eagles win 26-20.

Hopefully the Warriors came take them over the next time they play at their home ground.

Going to Tech.

"Finally" I said, waiting a long time to go to Tech (technology). If you don't know what Tech is, it is a class where you make physical objects like food, hard materiel and Electronics. I wondered which subject I was in. As Mr Barks told us what we were in, shivers went up my spine because I was in hard materiel.

As we strolled down to Tamaki Collage I got more excited each step I took. We stood in front of the Collage and this man came to us and said he was Mr Grundy, he was the hard materiel class so he was My teacher.

 In my class we were trying to make an object made out of wood.Firs we had to see what a housing joint was. It is a pice of wood that connects to another wood I am concentrating in making a helicopter,

Going Biking

In the weekends I went to the Bmx track with Potaua and Lorenzo. It was the second time I went there this year. We rode through the terrifying black train tunnel in Glen Innes to get there.

As I went through the track I started getting better and better, using all of my energy trying to jump high over the hills. Potaua and I was trying to jump the first hill and we complete our mission. As we got hot I biked to the shop and I brought a big drink.  On the way back to the track I saw some others people there, and I knew them. One of them went up the hill he went flying but he fell over, and he scraped his knee. As it got late we started riding back home.

Blog Entry

In the holidays I went to a holiday program called Youth Pride at the Tamaki recenter. I went there with my brother to get out of the house because we were bored.

When I arrived there I felt very excited, I saw my friends Kingston and Raenan and we started playing with the basket ball. Sooner later the leader came in (Mike) we started doing some drills and I hate that, because we have to do shuttles all the time.

Later on, we started playing games like basket ball and volley ball. I played volley ball it is more better to me.

Never Turning Back

Can you imagine what it is like without a Net-book?  I would never want to turn back to paper and pencil, NEVER!!!

Back in the days(last year) it was horrible, we used pencils and paper, and it was booooring! We always have to do our work with the teacher and we didn't get much done. Sometimes it really comes in handy because if you break a pencil you can get another one, but if you break your net-book it takes a long time to repair.

With our net-books we can learn more then before. Everyone knows what their doing because our class goes to a place called sites, it shows what your group is doing. It really help when I do my writing, I don’t hurt my hand and on the net-book its much faster.  But the Internet connection is not that good some times.

Now my work that I do goes on my blog. And I share it with world. Last year I write on a piece of paper but no one read it. It is really better now I can share my work.

Now that I have a net-book I can not imagine going back to working on paper.

Jumping at the Point.

On Saturday It was so hot, so me Richard and Ahsin went to the Point England beach. As we got to the beach I saw some new stairs. It was a bit shallow so we waited till it was high tide. Finally we got to jump off the rocks, and I was very excited. I ran and jumped as high as I could, and it was freezing cold.
