Table tennis trip

On Thursday the 20th of September a group of year 9 students were taken to Grace international hall in Glenn Innes. Those group of students was playing table tennis with Chinese elders, at first we thought that we were going to be terrible but once we got used to it we started getting better and better. I learnt to never mess with Chinese elders when it comes to table tennis.

Siale poetry

This is me

By: Siale Pulupaki

I am loyal and humble

I wonder what will happen in the future for me?

I hear birds humming

I see me having a great time and having a great life

I want the whole world to be peaceful

I am loyal and humble

I pretended to be a superhero

I feel that someone can make my day even better

I touch god’s bible

I worry that my life is going to end soon

I cry when members of my family passed away

I am loyal and humble

I understand how I feel and other people feel

I say that God is real and he is watching over us

I dream about random things

I try my very best to stay focus in school

I hope my families stay safe

I am loyal and humble.

Who are the cabiniet Ministers?

If I was given the choice of what cabinet minister role to take I would choose to be the Honorable Minister of Education. I would make sure that everyone gets a good education for their future. I would spend the money on upgrading schools in Auckland and buying technology so it would help the children in school. Upgrading the schools to having the technology is important because people need to make sure that everyone's education is well done.

Why do we need laws?

People made these laws so that we can follow christ and make sure we go to heaven.

We make laws so people can follow it and not to break and to always be safe. We need the laws so that we can have a safer community and safer.

Friends make rules so that there friendship doesn't break and that they may respect it and treat like there your family.

Tolerance -

Willingness to recognize and respect the beliefs or practices of others.

An example of when the students showed tolerance

Of each other was when..

They were eager to learn when ms Gruwell them.

When the students drew a picture of another students, Mocking his lips - Ms gruwell spoke to them about the holocaust Another example is when the student told the class he was being evicted and tolerance.

I think tolerance of other races is important

Because…

We are all human beings and we should be able to respect each other because we're all equal.
