Trip in Nissan

It was a nice day, Neville and Tom were excited to go and buy themselves a car. It look really nice.

This car was one of the top that the shop was selling.They got the car and left straight away. They took it for a quick drive around the city before they took it back home.

They got home and put the car in the garage, they locked the  garage so no one in there family can take the keys and drive off with the car. They even had security camera.

In the morning they took the car for a ride again, but this time they went up the mountain. They didn’t take the road but they took the rocky roads.They didn’t know that there were a lot of holes in the ground.

They were speeding up the road, then suddenly they hit a big hole. The car got wrecked at the bottom and there front lights cam of. They got so scared.

After crying for a while, they finally remembered that they had insurance on there car. They called AA and they came and picked up the car and took it to where they can fix the car.

1 month later they received there Nissan car. They were so happy they even celebrated 1 whole day just cause they got there car back.

They went to rainbow end for the next day. They had a lot of fun playing and going on all the rides.

Super Boys

It was a dark night, when 3 boys named Sam,Taki and Moses ran away from the army base. They wanted to run away because their was too much exercising and work. When they ran out the alarms went off, so then Moses hijacked a car on the side of the road and we ran away.

They got the car and speeded down the road as fast as flash. Then they had reached their destination.It was a place Taki had always stayed incase he was in a lot of trouble. It looked so old but inside the house there was hidden places where he hides his weapons.

It was 3 days they had been in Taki’s hide out. We have been getting ready for anything that will come amongst us. They had their guns,  small bombs and there knifes.

The following day, they left the hideout and went around the city when suddenly out came the police. They pulled us out of the car. All our guns were still in the car and it had been blown up so then they had to fight with their pocket knifes.

They had took out the hole entire police squad until the superheros like superman and his clan came and used their powers to drain Sam, Taki and Moses's energy. It took them 4 hours to fight us but they finally drained our energy.

Then hulk and his clan had come to save Sam,Taki and Oliver because Hulk and his clan had done the same thing that they have done. They took out superman’s squad.

Hulk had one person in his squad that knew how to transfer peoples powers. So that man had given Oliver superman’s power, He gave Goku’s power to Taki and gave the rest of the power to Sam the leader.

Last of all Sam,Taki and Moses had never done anything bad but fight crime and help the people that needed help. They never did another crime ever in there whole entire life since they had powers.

THE END

Who am I

Hello my name is Taki. I am Tongan but I was born in New Zealand. Most of my family is in New Zealand.

I am currently a Year 8 student at Glenbrae School. I have been at Glenbrae for all my school years. I am looking forward to 2016 because this is my last year at Glenbrae School and I am now one of the oldest students/children in the school.

For me a good day at school is when you learn a lot, and also gain a lot of knowledge. A good day at school for me is getting to play with my friends, and having fun with them. A good day at school would also be meeting new students and teachers.

My parents are both Tongan and were both raised in Tonga. I have 2 siblings, 1 fun brother and 1 cool sister, and I am also the youngest. They are my life and without them I will be nothing. My family are my role models. I love them a lot.

In my spare time I like to play games and listen to music. I like to play rugby with my family and have fun with them. I like to go stay at my nana’s house because she is a very loving person to me.

The things I don’t like to do is cleaning and mowing the lawn. The things I do like is, spend time with my family and getting to know new people. I also like to help others that need help.

Thank you for reading this letter about me, I hope you have enjoyed it.

Financial Literacy

Today we had a lesson on Financial Literacy. Today we were talking about credit and debt. It was an very good lesson to me because now I know now to spend money carefully and wisely. The teacher that was teaching us was a lady and her name was Rachel. We also learnt that when you borrow things of others you have pay them back other wise you will have to pay more money back to them.

STARDOME

In the morning we went to stardome after we had dance fever. We left to stardome after we had finish our session on dance fever.

Straight after dance fever we had a little talk about what we a doing at Star dome. After we had the talk we were the first class to go to the bus because we were the best class to sit up straight. When we got on the buss we had to sit on at the end of the bus.

It took awhile to get to stardome but we got there. It was very exciting to bee there because the last time we went there was when I was year 5.

We had our lunch for a few minutes. After having lunch we got to go for a little bit of a play. It was cool because we got to play ball rush with all the boys and some of the girls. After playing it was time for us to go inside stardome and do some learning.

We got inside stardome and went straight to the space room. That where we called ask questions about space. We ask a lot of questions, but some of them were not really good questions.

Then we got to walk around in stardome and see some of the things that they used to see in space. Also got to see the space ships that they used to get into space with.

Last of all we got to go into were you can see a movie on how planets were made. It was a very good movie because we got to learn a lot about the universe and heaps about the planets, stars and constellations. It was a very exciting trip to be on.
