Fia Fia

Wow did you go to FIA FIA it was amazing there was about 2000 people going to 3000 people including the kids.At 4.30 they had food out and drinks the time that I came was  at 5.30 we got into our uniform at 6.00 when I first arrived I was amaze how many people there where going back to our costume parts ,then when the Mr Burt called out”everybody go to there change room’s and we got change just if you wanted to know I was in the senior Samoan group our uniform was a read lava lava with flowers on it,black top and pretty feathers on our heads oops just for girls but for the boys they wore a short read lava lava with plastic flax's things around there legs and no T-shirt's.

There where 22 groups that perform we were the 12th group to perform when we were ready we went to our spot and we had to wait patiently and long we watch all the groups in till Timmy told us that it was our turn I was so happy that it was our turn because I felt like I was confident when I look at the stage. I was like in my head oh well who cares lets get over and done with when the Asian group came of I was like okay we can do this we walk on the stage then the fear started to come to me.

All the girls were trying there hardest to smile but they keep giggling when we started the dance the light was shining in our eyes we were trying to open our eyes but it was hard.
When it was the boys dance came on I could see all the girl cheek hurt I beet everybody knew that, then Rowana came of the stage and got ready for the last performance then when the boys dance was finish then we got into a weird looking square and a little space for Rowana when she comes.
So the music started and rowana came and dance in the middle she made a one mistake but she just smiled and it look like she didn't make a mistake anyway I know that her parents would of been proud of her and any ways when we got of the stage I felt like I wanted to do another performance.
Then we just watch the other groups.
Hope you enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Butterfly Life cycle

Well,would you like to hear my version of the butterfly life cycle okay .It all begins with a monarch butterfly and a male butterfly well they look for there sort so it is sort of like humans they  find information about people like if they show empathy,Respect Perseverance,Integrity and others okay going back to the mating,when they find the right type for them Oops I forgot ladies find their type by smelling there perfume.

So when the butterfly finds the right type ,then the male butterfly takes the monarch butterfly to a leaf but not an ordinary leaf a milk leaf they lay the egg under the leaf where it is sticky,Next of all the baby start to crack and the first thing the little caterpillar eats the end of its egg then it find a milk leaf  then it starts eating until it grows bigger and bigger they also make new layers then it finds are branch to hang it self but did you know that they hang herself upside down , then it takes it’s last layer of skin of then it stays still for a couple of weeks about three weeks later  then you can see that it starting to come then it’s wings are soaking wet so it slowly spreads out it’s wings  then it  becomes a beautiful butterfly

!!!!! I HOPE YOU ENJOY !!!!!!!

Tohunga was the leader he  had lot’s of slave’s there were the twin’s and his albatrosses.

One day Timoti trap them in a big cave with heavy rocks so they could not come out.Then the twins help the albatross then at the end the albatross gives are feather to each of them.

Swimming Session

Wow do you know why people swim? If you dont then we will tell you. We swim because when someone needs help we can help them or as an example if my little sister drown what would I do.

Well if you were thinking about this question and you a wondering who should I go to get advice well here I am okay I’ll start from the beginning well when I wanted to learn then I heard that in two weeks we were going to a session at the GI pools I was so excited that we were going when that special day came we went at 2 o'clock to the GI pools we Instructors to help us and advise us hey that just like me how I’m giving you advice going back to Instructor’s at the beginning the instructors wanted to see were we were like if we needed more or if we  needed to go back and learn all of them, so we got two at a time then they put us into groups there was one,two and three then when we were ready we got straight into it.Why you need to learn how to swim.

It is important to swim because  when you get into the water you will know how to swim and also it will be more funner then drowning but when you swim.

What encourages me to swim  is that my dad’s dad he was one of the best swimmers so I follow his footsteps epsep I not as good as he was.Here are some swimming moves that you could learn Arm strokes, when you start arm strokes , you start of   with your right hand you go slowly over your head then your left hand will be your breathing hand then you just do it over and over again but when you do your arm strokes they have to be slow but your legs they have to be super fast.

Another move is rocket ship a rocket ship move is when you put both arm’s together like a sharp pencil then you make sure that your chin is glued to your chest.HERE ARE MY BEST SWIMMING MOVES.Well there is backstroke back freestyle and that all you’ll learn it in your session’s  How?How? What would happen if you got washed out to sea and you wouldn't know how to swim?WELL THAT’S WHY YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO SWIM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go to any pools  and learn to swim you

should have a session cause it is easier but if you're too shy you could go with friends.Well that’s my advice for remember to LEARN TO SWIM!   !!!!!!
