My first concert

Justin Bieber Concert

Last night I went to a Justin Bieber concert with my cousin and aunty at the Vector Arena the opening act for his concert was Cody Simpson the concert started at 6:30 p.m and ended at 11:30 p.m while we sat down all of Justin's fans stood up and screamed he sang all of his songs and every time he sang or talked the girls screamed. While I sat there a lot of girls were getting in my way and I couldn't see so I stood up and watched while my cousin sat down I had so much fun.

When it was close to the end they play a video with a guy and he said " wake up"! He was saying that we shouldn't be recording the concert and be watching it over and over again but to watch and keep this as a memory and then he said if you want Justin to come out yell his name and all the girls were yelling Justin over and over again until he came out when he came out he had no shirt on and all the girls screamed. When he sang the last song a young woman threw her bra on stage and at the end of the son one of the dancers picked the bra up and threw it on the ground and Justin Bieber said "bye New Zealand" and stopped at the back and went down the elevator to the bottom stage.

Whispers

Today was our first day moving to our new house everyone was excited but me, I didn’t want to move houses and start a new school I wanted to stay where we were. So on the way I was trying to make up excuses so we can go back to our old house but it never worked. I was moaning what “if the house is haunted, what if we never knew that the house was built over a cemetery, what if something bad happened there, what if that house used to be a witches house”. But no one listened when we got there the house looked like an old mansion.

We went inside to have a look at the house and saw a lot of creepy old things like a dusty piano, a dark closet and a dirty chandelier my mum said we can just clean this baby and hang it up. I went upstairs to see what was up there and to see the rooms as I was walking down the dark hallway, I heard a whisper I said stop playing around guys I know it’s you and then I heard the whisper in my ear it sounded like someone saying “help”, then I ran down stairs scared, everyone looked at me like what was going on and then they said “what happened” and I said “ it’s nothing”. After we picked our rooms we had our showers and dressed in our pjs after that we went downstairs to eat. My room was at the end of the hallway next to my mum and dad. After dinner we went upstairs and went to sleep. I woke up that night to go toilet and heard the whisper again and again, I looked in the mirror and saw someone behind me, I was so scared I turned around and saw nothing there. so I washed my hands and went to bed. While I was trying to go to sleep I heard running up and down the stairs and the hallway I looked out of my door and saw no one so I hopped in bed and heard the sounds again.

My first days at school

As I walk into the gate of Manurewa South School I was so excited I was starting my first school. My class was Room six everyone was really kind to me. I went inside and saw that there was a lot of people smiling and I felt really welcome. I went and sat on the mat and people started talking to me because we had Oral Language. My first friends were Toa and Emma they were my best friends I had some teachers as a friends too.  My favourite teacher was the teacher who handed out the rolls. Because she was really nice to me.

Second Part Of Editing

As I woke up I opened the window I could hear birds singing outside that put me in a good mood to start my first day at school. I didn’t have any uniform to put so I had to wear my normal clothes. On the the table there was a bottle of milk a box of cereal, some toasts, a tub of butter and a jar of jam. I remember I had only cereal and milk because I was so excited to go to school on that day.

I hopped in the car and put my seatbelt on. As I was looking through car window I could see school kids walking to school with their parents. As we were getting close to school I could see some teachers and cars were stopping and dropping off school kids at the gate. I hopped out of the car with my mum and dad. As I walked into the gate of Manurewa South School, I was so excited that I was starting my first day at school. My mum and dad took me to the school office to see what class I was in.

My class was Room six to my surprise everyone was really nice to me. I went inside the classroom and saw that there were a lot of pupils smiling at me and I felt really welcomed. I went and sat on the mat and pupils started talking to me because we had been given time by the teacher to tell stories. After we told stories we went outside and had something to eat and went to play.

My first friends were Toa and Emma they were my best friends, I also had a teacher who became my friend too.  My favourite teacher who handed out the rolls to me to take it to class was Mrs Gallagher. She was my favourite teacher and my friend.

Paddle pop event

My literacy teacher gave me 40 minutes to do a writing about school or a holiday event and I chose holiday event so this is what I have done.

Yesterday On Sunday My aunty took me and my cousins to the Paddle Pop premiere we went there to watch the new Paddle Pop movie called Paddle Pop Dinoterra. My cousins and I got free drinks, free popcorn and a free dvd. The Paddle Pop lion said he brought some gifts the gifts were 27 tents, 2 Ipods and 5 bags full of paddle pops. I never got a prize but the front rows did all because they had yelled out some numbers and letters and who ever was sitting close or on the seat got the prize, but for the bag full of paddle pops we had to check under our seat and see if we had a envelope under our seat and if we did we would get the prize.

After the movie we went to my aunty’s and watched the dvd, the dvd is called paddle pop begins 2 the movie was 88 minutes I only watched 53 minutes of the movie. After the movie my uncle and aunty came to take me back home.

My Reading Reflection

Title: Dear Dumb Dairy,
Author: Jamie Kelly
Characters: Jamie Kelly, Isabella, and Angeline
Pages: 1 - 22
Chapters: 7




This book is about a girl called Jamie Kelly and she writes all of her problems in her diary she even writes about a girl named angeline stole her future husband and that she talks about a lot of things instead of just her problems she talks about what happens at school that day like a on one she writes Dear Dumb Diary,

I was out playing with my beagle, Stinker, this afternoon and I was doing that thing where you pretend to throw the ball and then don't throw it and Stinker starts running for it until he realizes you didn't throw it at all. Usually I only do it two or three times but today I guess I was thinking about something, because when I finally realized that I hadn't thrown the ball yet, I had probably done it about a hundred and forty times. Stinker was a little bit cross-eyed and foamy and he wouldn't come back in the house for for a long time. I wonder if dogs can hold the grudge.

My Weekend

For my weekend I had so much fun, what I did on Saturday was that I had stayed at home I helped, my nan clean up and I had watched some tv then, I played on my netbook that was really fun I played on a lot of games. I played some game with my little siblings and I red, a little and then I went to sleep around 2:35 am.

On Sunday I woke up at 8:00 am and saw that everyone was watching tv, and what now was just starting. I watched it for a while and then, I went and had breakfast and the sapphires movie wass on so I watched it, with my family and the watched a horse racing movie until, 11:49 am when it was that time I got ready just in time to go to Rainbows end with my mentor.

What we went on first was the Roller Coaster the queue was really long we had waited for long. Finally it was my turn we put our things in the box, and hopped on and off we went it was short but fun. The next we went on was the Pirate ship the queue was not the that long but, we finally hopped on and we were on the top of the Pirate ship and we swung and swung higher and higher then it finished, we hopped off the Pirate ship.

After the Pirate ship we went on the Invader the queue for the Invader was really long but we waited patiently and got our turn, while we were on it we felt like we were going to fall off. The last one we went on was the log flume there was a really long queue but finally got on and we admired all the creations that the best day I had.

Production Practice

My teacher is doing an opening at our school for a show called sixties the quest. I'm in the practice and it is a little hard. What we have to do is really quite easy but the hard thing is learning the poi. The only song I know the name of that we are doing is The Emotions. I think I have practiced enough for the poi because I practiced all lunchtime to now. I like doing the poi because it is kind of easy. My dance is easy but I sometimes forget what to do.

What I like about the production is how we get together and practice a dance I like doing this dance it is really fun.

Rainbow Warrior Bombing

It was the year of 1985 when a tragedy happened. Fernando Pereira was in the ship the Rainbow Warrior celebrating a birthday with his Greenpeace friends.While they were celebrating 2 french spies in scuba diving gear, were attaching 2 limpet bombs onto the bottom of the Rainbow Warrior. The 2 spies left with no one noticing.

A while later while the crew were partying, one of the bombs went off sending one of the crew members, off his chair. He went to the basement and saw that there was a big hole in the ship and yelled “Abandon ship Abandon ship”! The crew abandoned the ship except for one person Fernando Pereira. 4 minutes after the first explosion the second bomb went off. Sadly Fernando Pereira died in the explosion. He was Greenpeace’s photographer.

The French spies planted the bombs on the Rainbow Warrior because they were trying to stop them from getting to French Polynesia. The reason why the people in the Rainbow Warrior were going there was to protest against French for doing nuclear tests on small islands. So the French spies planned to plant 2 limpet bombs on the bottom, of the Rainbow Warrior to blow it up so they couldn’t couldn’t go up to French Polynesia to protest.

Not long after 2 of the spies got arrested and sentenced to ten years in jail. But the French government threatened the New Zealand government to give back their French spies to put them in their French jail. If they didn’t give them back they would stop buying their meat and dairy products.  Reluctantly  the New Zealand government put the 2 French spies on the next  flight to French Polynesia. Instead of going to jail  for 10 years they were only there for 2.  When they released and sent back to France they got treated like heroes.

My Hero

Who is my hero? My hero is my Grandma because she does a lot for me, she takes care of me and my younger siblings, she takes me out places to shop for toys and clothes and a lot of other things. She also helps me with my homework when I find it hard and I love singing with my Grandma because we like the same type of music. My Grandma is the best.

My Grandma is my Hero because I learn a lot from her, she taught me how to cook and bake things like cookies and cakes, my Grandma is my hero because she keeps me safe. I love my Grandma so much I'm so grateful to have my Grandma in my life, I wouldn't be the person today

if it wasn't for my Grandma/Hero.

I would never want to leave or lose my Grandma because she has a huge impact in my life,

she makes me want to succeed in school.

This is my Beautiful Grandma/Hero I love her so much I couldn't of asked for anyone else.    

My Favourite place in the world

My favourite place is my home because there’s nowhere I’d rather than home. I love my home filled with my family. Because we do lots of things like go to the park, go out, I go places with my mentor, I use to go out with my sisters mentor and I still go out with my mentor occasionally. What I love about my home is because i feel safe and comfortable because there is a lot of kids here.

What I like doing at home is sleeping, playing the game, staying up late watching t.v. on the weekend I like playing dress up and putting make up on my face and taking pictures with my aunty, and my younger sister, and my two cousins we have lots of fun.   

Movie Reflection

I watched this movie that these 5 boys made a movie.
The movie was really good because it had action and adventure
How they did the movie was creative because how they put love, action and adventure into one movie. The filming was OK but it could have been better because the filming was really sloppy because the Filmer did not keep the camera straight.
Some of the group lip sang but it could have been better because they lip sang 'I love you' from the show Barney. If you would like to see the video I'll just put it below.

My 1963 Story

Every day I have hoped that everything will change but it seems that it won’t ever happen. Being black in america is always hard because there always someone else who puts me down.

Right now I am marching to the Lincoln Memorial with my friends Monike. and Chloe.We are holding signs and singing while we march in unison with hundreds and thousands of people. Our arms are getting tired from holding the signs for such a long time. We stop at the reflecting pool just as we hear Martin Luther King’s name get called out. A loud cheer comes from the crowd as he stands onto a platform.

I feel full of hope that maybe the law will change for the blacks. I look up and hear Martin Luther King shout out, “I Have a Dream that one day our nation will rise upon all racial people and have freedom as well as us (Black) people and (White) folks will treat each other equally”.

Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, August 28, 1963 I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon of hope to millions of slaves, who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But one hundred years later, the colored America is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the colored American is still sadly crippled by the manacle of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the colored American lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the colored American is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. In a sense we have come to our Nation's Capital to cash a check. When the architects of our great republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed to the inalienable rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given its colored people a bad check, a check that has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and security of justice. We have also come to his hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is not time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquillizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy. Now it the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now it the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality to all of God's children. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of its colored citizens. This sweltering summer of the colored people's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end but a beginning. Those who hope that the colored Americans needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquillity in America until the colored citizen is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the colored person's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "for white only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a colored person in Mississippi cannot vote and a colored person in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, we are not satisfied and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of your trials and tribulations. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by storms of persecutions and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our modern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you, my friends, we have the difficulties of today and tomorrow. I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. I have a dream that one day out in the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by their character. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; that one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be engulfed, every hill shall be exalted and every mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plains and the crooked places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith that I will go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to climb up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning "My country 'its of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring!" And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that, let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi and every mountainside. When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every tenement and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old spiritual, "Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."
