Falefitu Tony Laulu Suprise

 Today we got surprised by Falefitu Tony Laulu, an author who writes relatable and more real books about our islander culture. He came to deliver us some books that he wrote about. He showed us his amazing books about pacifica culture and what it's really like in the real world now. He chose the characters to be his own sons because he thinks that most books now aren’t  about Pasifika Culture, and he wants to show what it's really like. He told us that most books are just about people who are not explained properly, so he had this incredible idea to add in his own family and friends to the story. He also shared his point of view about what ‘ REPRESENTING ‘ is. We would like to say a big thank you to Falefitu for coming out all the way to drop off your amazing books about pasific culture. Pt England School can't wait to read heaps of your books, and we’re all going to enjoy it.

Rugby

 On Saturday I played 2 games against Waitake and Suburbs but there were only 10 people on the field. And each half was 25 minutes And only 2 minute breaks. Our first game was against Suburbs, it was a close game but in the 2nd Half you scored 3 or 4 tries which gave us a very strong lead. Then the full time whistle went, the score was 47 - 20 to Marist, straight after that game we had another game against Waitake. Their team didn't have enough players so we gave them some of our subs so that they could play. When we started we managed to score a few tries. And the other team scored 2 tries just before halftime and the score was 19-14 to Marist. In the 2nd half one of my teammates got a run-away tackle just short from the line but just before he dropped to the ground he offloaded it to me for a try.  And the score was 24-14 just before the whistle went for full time and they scored a try on the final play. And the score was 24-19 to Marist.

I think that we should ban smoking in public places because there are other people around you and you need to be very mindful of others. There are also other people around you that really hate the smoke . because of how bad it smells. Also it is bad for little kids that inhale the smoke because when they inhale the smoke into their bodies, it makes it harder for them to breathe. It is also bad for you because the nigatene goes into your body but before that it gets stuck in your throat and it stays there for a long time. And it causes you to cough alot and it sometimes gives you bad teeth.  

 

Conclusion: So when you get older Don’t smoke!!!!!!!
