Hamilton Temple – Open House

On Saturday my ward and I went to Hamilton to see the Open House. There is a (The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints) temple in Hamilton that has been closed for four years due to work and construction.

I was so excited to go because I haven’t been here in a long time. I was also excited to go on a tour and visit all the rooms. The Celestial and Baptism room were my favourite. The Celestial room gave me a glimpse of what heaven would be like and the Baptism room was where I could baptise the dead in a couple months time.

I really enjoyed that experience and can’t wait to do work for others and for some of my non-member family.

End of netball season!

Last week’s Tuesday was the last netball game for the season. It was my team and my last time playing for Pt England. My team consisted of Fifita, Mele, Melemanu, Lesiali, Mariko, Paula, Jayla, and myself. Our team was called the “Warriors”. I’ve really enjoyed my time playing for PES and especially with my own team. We’ve won some and lost some, but overall we did a great job. I’m also grateful for my coach, managers, and family/supporters. We came 5th in a grade which is a cool result. I hope you have enjoyed this post.

KPMG Trip!

Today some of the year seven and eight students went on a trip to KPMG. When we got there, there were people who introduced themselves. After that we went on a tour around the building/office. My group consisted of Emeline, Kolotita, Nora, Jade, Kahziloyu, and one of our helpers Chris. Then we came back for morning tea (which was amazing!). Next we took some pictures with Jez who did photography and drew some artwork pieces. Soon we had our delicious lunch. Lastly we played with clay and made stop motion animations. This whole trip was based on our term’s theme, Art Works. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

 

Saineha 1st Ward International Night

Yesterday Friday night my ward (Saineha 1st) had an International Night. Every quorum chose a country/continent to represent. Nursery did a pageant, Primary represented America, Youth represented Japan, YSA represented Mexico, Relief Society represented India, and Priesthood represented Africa.

Vaha and I were in the Youth item. The girls did a fan dance, the boys did a Kung Fu fighting, and we all did a tiktok dance. Catherine and Keni were in the primary item. They danced to the song Party in the USA. My Mum and cousin were in the Relief Society item (my Mum was in the Youth item and my cousin was in the YSA item). They did an Indian dance. My dad was in the African item (and Youth and Primary).

I enjoyed all of the quorum’s items and food. I also enjoyed dancing. I had SO MUCH FUN! I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

2022 Term 2 Highlights!

Term 2 has been another crazy and awesome term! We’ve had sports, camp, fun activities, celebrations and much more. I’d like to thank everyone (teachers, parents, staff, and basically everyone) for helping out this term and making this term another successful term. I will share my highlights.

We have started netball at the start of the term. My team is the PES Warriors. We have been improving (which we are proud of) and are excited for our upcoming games. My tech classes have been very fun and educational. I’ve had CTRL in term one and cooking in term 2. I loved making lots of healthy delicious food. We’ve had our amazing Year 8 Leadership Camp which was such a good experience and so much fun. We’ve had our Matariki celebration and celebrated my lovely teacher Miss Hall’s time at PES. She will be on her new journey so have fun and good luck! Thank you!

Sub-Topic Movie Brain Storm – Myths & Legends

This term for extension we learnt and researched about Local/Tamaki history. After we learnt heaps about it we moved onto a different topic. We chose myths and legends because there are some certain myths and legends about these iconic areas in Tamaki. I worked with Eva and Legacy. I learnt quite a lot about myths and legends. I found it fun and interesting. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Year 8 Leadership Camp – Highlights

During week 3 the year eights had their leadership camp. This camp was supposed to be fun and help us with our leadership skills, it really was. Our camp was at Carey Park Camp and I was in Waitakere. I have many highlights and things I wanna share but I will share just a few. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. (There were certain activities that we couldn’t do because of the rain but we still had a blast).

Highlight 1/Activities – There were so many activities that would put me out of my comfort zone or they would’ve been so fun! Two of my favourite activities were flying fox, crate stacking, (much more but those two). I screamed so loud when I went on the flying fox because it was so high and it was insanely fun. The crate stacking kind of put me out of my comfort zone because I stood on unsteady crates but it was still super duper fun.

Highlight 2/Area – The area was amazing and beautiful! There would be signs like a green sign, yellow sign, and red sign (you probably get what that means).  There was a park, trampolines, fun play areas, a lake/river, etc. The cabins were also cool. As well as our meeting area, the dining hall and the court.

Highlight 3/ Food – We loved the food! I promise you that we were well fed and the food was delicious. I loved dessert and lunch. Thank you to the chefs and teachers for helping out with serving our food.

A HUGE THANK YOU to our helpers, parents, teacher, chefs and host/people at the camp for this amazing camp we had. It was super fun and I did not regret not going because I had a blast. I had a great time with my friends, watching others step up and lead, and the awesome activities. Thank you!

Tech@Tamaki/Cooking (and CTRL) – Smoothies

Hello, welcome back to my blog/welcome to my blog! Today we had our first new rotation, cooking!

Our new teacher is Miss H. In cooking we made smoothies. We sliced and diced our apples, sliced our bananas, rinse our spinach, poured milk and yogurt, and then blended it!  I worked with Aye. At the end we washed our dishes and added whipped cream to the smoothie. Thank you Miss H!

Before the lesson started Mr Daniels came to give me my packet of jelly snakes. I came top of the CTRL class. Thank you Mr Daniels!

Happy Mothers Day!

Hello, welcome back to my blog/welcome to my blog! As you all know, yesterday was Mothers Day. I’d like to say “Happy Mothers Day!” to all the mums out there.

On Sunday (yesterday) we went to church and it was also mothers day. Towards the end of the sacrament the mothers stood and sang together. In class we made goodie bags for our mums. I made a card and goodie bag for my mum. After church we took photos and had a good feed at our own homes.

Panmure Stake Youth Activity Day

 

Hello, welcome back to my blog/welcome to my blog! During the holidays my favourite thing I did was attend the Panmure Stake Youth Activity Day. I had so much fun and enjoyed it. I will share my highlights/short recount.

Highlight One – New Friends, I made a whole lot of new friends (on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday photos will come soon). Everyone was so friendly and wanted to be friends. I met a few from primary and now are in youth. Others from netball games or just see them at church.

Highlight Two – Trust In The Lord T-Shirts, we received shirts that had the words “trust in the lord” and other words. I was so happy and loved the shirt. Some of us wore white shirts the others wore yellow shirts. We played all the activities and games in our shirts.  (Last week Friday – Sunday was for Panmure Stake Youth, Trust In The Lord which is the theme for this year).

Highlight Three – Activities & Games, I enjoyed all activities and games. We first did a fun warm up which was a zumba. You know that game where you throw a dart at the middle, yeah? We played that but it was huge and we had to kick a ball instead. We next went to the Big Epic Dry Slide. It was a big slide that was dry and you just slide down it. Our next activity was a wet one! We were attached to harness and had to run forward and touch the end. I slipped and the harness yanked be back, haha! I sadly loss but it was still so fun! We moved onto rock climbing wall. I was quite nervous about this one but I’ve done things similar to it. I put on a harness and climbed until and hit the red buzzer. Our second to last activity was a water obstacle course. My ward (Saineha 1st) was taking care of the activity. I ran into the small whole and jumped over some courses. I then slide down the slide and landed a pool of water. I won that game, yes! Our last activity was this a quiet group game. Things didn’t quiet work out (another group was still there). This was FUN!
