The End Of Rippa Rugby

The rippa rugby sessions that room 9 to 12 have now ended. It's sad that rippa rugby had to end but we did learn a lot about how to pass, throw and actually play rippa rugby! Unfortunately during our last session room 9 won 3 rugby balls from our coach Corey who told us that who ever has the most points by throwing would win.

I enjoyed rippa rugby and learned many things, I especially loved playing bull rush because it's fun dogging other people that are trying to rip your tag off. I hope that the next 2 terms are full of more rippa rugby lessons.

Queens Birthday Honours Kiwi Legends

This year the Queens birthday is honouring kiwi legends. The list includes 183 wonderful people who have made our country a better place. On the list it contains brand new dames and knights. The people on the list are known for many things such as thinking about our country before themselves.

Honours don't come so easy because the people who decide about giving people honours are Jacinda Ardern, the 12 person cabinet appointments and Honours committee. In my opinion I think it's a great idea that the queens birthday is dedicated to the knights and dames.

Teachers Strike!

Yesterday the teachers of NZ went on a mega strike protesting for better pay and conditions. Many primary and secondary teachers attended the strike but in total there were around 50,000 teachers.

If there weren't teachers people wouldn't have there jobs that they have today. I'm sure that most people from government have been taught by teachers so therefore they wouldn't have their job in government if they weren't taught the things they know!

The government should think faster and should let the teachers have what they want. As for my teachers, Mr Ried went on strike yesterday protesting with the other teachers. Teachers give children a good education. The government has already decided to have their pay rise about 3% and I agree with the teachers because that is not enough!

Samoan Language Week Begins!

Yesterday marked the start of Samoan language week. Many performances will be held across the country to celebrate the Pacific Island culture. In my opinion I think it's a good idea to have performances to celebrate the culture of Samoa.

This Friday the Samoan pupils at my school have the choice to wear Samoan clothing to show other students what Samoan people wear. I'm still deciding wither I'm going to wear something but it depends if I do have Samoan clothing.

Samoan Words:
Afio mai or Susu mai or Maliu mai – Welcome
Fa’afetai or Fa’afetai tele – Thank you
Ou te alofa ia te oe – I love you
Ia vave ona e manuia – Get well soon
Fa’amolemole – Please
Fa’amalie atu – Sorry
Malō, Malō soifua or Tālofa – Hello
Fā or Tōfā or Tōfā soifua – Goodbye
A malu i fale, e malu i fafo – Respect yourself and others will
E tua le fale tele i le faleo’o – Even the mighty needs others.

Bread Prices Are Increasing!

In New Zealand bread prices are increasing. The reason why the prices of bread are increasing is because most of the wheat that New Zealand has is imported from Australia which is why the price is increasing. Bread is healthy and yummy and that's why the price should stay the same.

I think it's a bad idea to increase the prices of bread because whenever students go to school they need sandwiches which uses bread. If the prices of bread increase homeless people might not have enough money to buy it therefore I think the prices should stay the same.
