WALT: write about my best highlights.

Last Week was the week us Year 7 & 8's went to Camp Raglan. It was a very Fun Experience and we made lots of Fun and  unforgettable Memories.

My Best Hightlights at Camp Raglan is when we got to Camp Raglan everyone was excited on the view and excited on what was going to happen during our stay. we all ate our lunch and talked to others.
we looked out and saw the amazing views and Raglan beach

I Loved how when we went to Raglan Beach all the Groups created amazing,creative & Fabulous Sand Sculptures and i like the cheerful,growth mindsets that the Students used while we all made sand sculptures and the integrity everyone had. we couldn't wait until we settle into our cabins

The Food & Desert at Camp Raglan was Delicious and had Fantastic taste. We all really enjoyed it for our first day Camp Raglan. we already started to enjoy it there and we can't wait until tomorrow.

we all talked and used our manners while recieving our plates of food. It was amazing, it was the best food i have ever tasted.

The Most Best 2 Highlights were Fia Fia Night and The Amazing Activities done at Camp Raglan.

We all Enjoyed the laughs and the amazing talents at Fia Fia night and Activities.

Poetry About My Favourite Thing

My Favourite Thing is Poetry

Roses are red & the sky is blue.

Nightmares are so scary  that's all true,

time at night i try to fight,

the worst things i have ever feared in my life.

Things can go wrong but everything feels right

,at night i hug my teddy bear tight.

Days are bright but terrible at night,

all i want to do is fly my kite.

Shivering in fear

,all you can hear is the feeling of terror,

you can see a little boy behind u in the mirror.

Days are long with sunny clouds and the fresh air,

my fear in the breeze and blowing my hair everywhere.

climbing trees with the cold breeze,drinking cold frozen drinks give me a brain freeze.

Time is a setting just a state of mind, looking for clues in a mystery is hard to find,

chasing dreams are fun to do,

staying happy is fun too.

Stars at night are exciting and bright,

it’s a beautiful sight,

but i can’t see it in the morning

when i fly my kite.

Roses are red the night sky is blue,

i like trying something new,

tricks are exciting and fun and clueless,

i'm going to keep living my life to the fullest.

I’m so loyal and wise,

I watch as the bright sun rise.

i love animals and gaming,

It’s funny,exciting & clueless but true,

i don't like winter because its gives me the flu.

I love to swim it’s fun in a pool.

but bombing is dangerous but cool,

Taking my time to work out the hard things in life.

people are so mean it’s cuts like a knife.

People always hit me and push me into the dirt.

It’s so bad it hurts.

Taking my time. getting my learning out of the way.

It was my brothers birthday on the 30th of May.

I Love Poetry It's fun to do. I Love to do it How about you?

My Profile Rap

Hey My name is Paris,

My Hero is Calvin Harris.

People think i’m kinda short.

But i’m brainy & Self taught

I love soccer, I Love to Rhyme,

I love to draw all the time.

I’m from Samoa and over is the best.  

We are cool & better than the rest.

I’m samoan, Maori, British, Cook Island & German.

But you can’t judge the fact - you don’t even know me.

People always get the best of me,

But i’m strong and i can’t wait until i’m free.

Room 10 is the Best,

Room 10 is so cool  

And we have the best learning tool.

I’m so cold at night, I tried to fight ,

the worst things I have ever feared in my Life.

NightMares are so scary,

Dark and a Mystery,

New Zealand has the most history.

My cat’s Fur is like

the darkest of the night.

But in the morning he's like

a tiny bright light.

My Sisters are so cheeky

& they make me mad.

But My only Brother

is the best mate I  have ever had.

He stands by my side, hand to hand.

He is caring & he is growing up to be a man.

I think of things

I don't know about in my mind,

But I got my friends and family

by my side.

Time is just a setting

& a state of mind.

I have been bullied a lot

when i was only nine.
