Term 2 Reflection

 In term 2 it was pretty much a rollercoaster here are some of the things we did in term 2,

. Fiafia

. Rugby
. Yr8 Camp
.  Disco


I believe my 3 highlights for the term were year 8 camp, fiafia, and rugby. One reason why I loved year 8 camp was because I got to experience what it feels like to do something I have never done before, for e.g. I went on the flying fox and that was like 20 feet off the ground. Another highlight of the term was Fiafia. In wk5 the whole of P.E.S had a fiafia night. A fiafia night is where each group comes onto stage and they get to show off their culture on stage in front of hundreds of people, so for e.g. I was in the Samoan group and we had to do lot of practices so we can go on stage and show of a part of our culture. . My last highlight was Rugby. Rugby was a huge part of the term because most of the Wednesdays we were lucky to go play against other schools in Auckland, for e.g. I was playing wing so we had to do lots of training during lunch time. So there you go these are my 3 highlights of the term.

Speech About Writing

 William Webb Ellis


William Webb Ellis, was the man who invented rugby. William Webb Ellis was the inventor of rugby football while a pupil at Rugby School. Rugby is said to have originated at Rugby School in Warwickshire, England, in 1823.  According to legend, Webb Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it during a school football match in 1823.  Although there is very little evidence  about this man, the rugby world cup is now named after William  Webb Ellis.

-Task Description-
Today I made a speech about William Webb Ellis which was the man who made rugby. The reason why I choose to make a speech about rugby was because, rugby is my most favourite sport.

State Of Origin Game 2!

 Kick Off!

On Sunday the 27th June at Suncorp Stadium it was game 2 of 3 for State Of Origin. At 9:50 it was kick off time and it was Queensland that got the game started.


First Half!

On the first half Josh-Addo-Carr got the first try of the match for New South Wales. As the game went on the maroons suddenly ended up in the blues half, as the ball went to the right side of the field the blues started getting under too much pressure STOP! Not until Latrell Mitchell got the intercept with a runaway try ‘’Id say this try was the best origin try i had ever seen’’ and the last try of the first half went to Tom Trbojevic ‘’let just say turbo tom’'

Rotuman Language Week


Classification) Rotuma is located in the southern hemisphere. to the north we have Tuvalu, to the east we have Samoa, to the south we have Fiji, and to the west we have Vanuatu. 

(Description) There is a population of less than 3000 people living in rotuman. There is a current population of 2,871 and most of them live in  Fiji making a total of 10,000 people.


The two languages that are spoken are Rotuma and English and sadly the culture is endangered. There are now only 15,000 people speaking the language around the world.


(Conclusion)The Rotuman language can now teach how to never take advantage of our own culture because you never know how long your culture will be there.
