When I felt proud of myself.

        Helping Nana with her vertigo

“Lydia”!!! Shouted Nana, I sprinted to the lounge thinking is she hurt what happened?!? I saw Nana laying on the ground “WHAT HAPPENED”!!! “I fainted” said Nana, and after she said that she fainted again. I knew it was her Vertigo, Vertigo is a symptom where a person feels as if they or the objects around them are moving when they are not.  Vertigo is the most common type of dizziness. So I helped Nana up And helped her to her bed and made her a tea and checked if she was ok.

The next day Nana called the hospital for an appointment. The doctor said she couldn’t drive for 3 weeks. Nana was furious, everytime she wants to be alone in the car she can’t go which causes arguments because Aunty says she will drive her to PAK’nsave or countdown. So I had to help with dinner. 

Then 2 days later when I was at school my baby cousin Lacey, my Uncle and Nana were at home and Nana passed out, luckily she was on the bed. Unfortunately, I saw the ambulance at my neighbours house because Mrs Jannie twin had lung cancer. I wondered...Does nana need an ambulance too? Should she be in the hospital? What if I am at school and she passes out? At least there will be nurses to care for her at the hospital.

Waking up from my thoughts I asked Nana “How are you” ? and she told me she had another appointment that day and that I should stay  at home. Uncle would take her. I hoped everything would be alright.  About 2 to 3 hours had passed and  they finally came back they found out she was just tired and she was getting better.

A few weeks later Nana had another appointment and doctors declared her well.

All these days, I had looked after nana. I had cooked, washed dishes, made her ginger tea and soup when she needed it.

 I felt great about myself because I had helped her become better.

One day when she was almost good she said “ Thank you for looking after me. Can we go out to Burger King to celebrate.”

Cleaning our school

 Thank you, Mike! Said Mrs.Sharma. Everybody glanced to see what it was but it was just timber for our art.

Then when Matua Mike left Mrs. Sharma said “that he is not very well and he isn’t happy today”, Because we keep on littering and every morning he comes to school and cleans our field and top court that is why he wanted to resign and quit.

So our class started discussing what should we could do Mrs.Sharma said “why don’t we clean the grounds and be rubbish monitors” some of us agreed but some didn’t. So Mrs. Sharma only made the people that wanted to (including me) became a rubbish monitor.

The next morning I woke up early came to school and went straight to the field it felt nice to clean the environment. I had 2 full bags full of plastic Matua Mike thank all of the rubbish monitors Matua Mike said we made his day we all so happy.

At the pools

 At the water park

I slowly headed  to the stairs with my wobbly feet, I nearly stumbled to the ground but I never gave up. I kept  on  climbing steadily up the stairs to my goal. When I reached my destination I saw the blood-curdling cylinder and knew there was no turning back so I leapt into the slide. I closed my eyes and was in the speed like the wind, I was petrified.

Seconds later I set foot on the saturated ground, opened my eyes to broad daylight. It was over! I proudly ran to my Nana and told her how phenomenal it was.

Filipe Tohi

On tuesday a famous tongan artist came to our
school and his name is Filipe Tohi

And showed us the most fantastic art, especially that he made.
He taught us

that different cultures can
have the same patterns,the same stories
but just different names. All his art has a story that
is part of his life and the land. He showed us that if you
just look you can see the story or even the picture 

Malo Aupito Mr filipe tohi.
