Basketball Experience

Tuesday 11th February

My experience on playing Basketball was tiring.

Some of the things that I’ve learnt about basketball  I didn't even know about. To be quite honest I don’t know how to play Basketball,  but I’ve learnt skills that lead up to playing.

At first I was really nervous, but throughout the lesson I gain my confidence. I have learnt how to do many skills. First we learnt how to Jump Stop and pivot. Jump Stopping is when your running and to stop you Jump Stop. The other skills that we have learnt was  dribbling.  

There are different types of dribbling like; ankle dribbling and bongo dribbling. We had to pair up and pass the ball to each other after dribbling. My Partner was Jane. The type of passing that Basketball use is Chest Passing.

After that we splitted up in two groups, it was the boys and girls. There were  2 hula hoops on each side and in the hula hoops there were 3 balls. From each from 3 people had to run around a basketball hoop, and run to the balls. The hoop on the right was where the girls ran to, and the other hoop was where the boys ran to. 

When that was done we had to go to the other hoop and try to shoot 3 balls in before the whistle has blowed. I cheered as loud as I could to keep my team motivated. At the end there were alot of sweaty faces and tired people.  What a Day!

Holiday Recount - Going to Australia

Monday 10th February

During the holidays, I experienced different events I went to Australia. The most depressing event was when school ended. When school ended I didn't have anything to do. As the Holiday’s started to begin the days dragged as I  thinking about Australia. It was like walking up a very steep hill with heavy rocks. Some days were very merry like when going visit relatives.

Happy days, Finally the day has come. All the dreadful, and painful days had just ended . The night before going to Australia I had to go with my Aunty and Uncle. My Aunty and Uncle had invited me on their trip to Australia. Our flight was early in the morning, so we had to wake up early. I ended up going to sleep for 2 hours. I knew that when I  got use to Australia it was going to be hard to leave.

Arriving to Australia I wasn't sure of what the weather was going to be like. I've heard about it being really hot but since we were in the Airport, I thought that the climate was going to be like New Zealand. But I was wrong, The weather was extremely hot. The first week was a blast! Going to the Mall and spending time with my family, was such a memorie. Something devastating happened in Australia.

My niece got very, very sick and had to visit the Hospital. On Christmas Day I got sick, so the whole day I did nothing. I pretty much had the worst Christmas ever. New Years we had to spend 6 hours long hours Praising God, For the rest of the week was pretty much doing nothing.

The second week was very emotional for me. First of all not knowing that the first week went quickly, and second of all I was going to miss my Cousin. That hot burning sun is  like New Zealand. But I knew that I’ll be back in New Zealand in no time. We ended of the last Saturday by going to Movie World. It was located in Gold coast which is pretty far from where we were.

That day the weather was over 40 degrees. I was sweating like someone coming out of a pool. Just looking at the rides gave me unstoppable butterflies.  But throughout the day I gain my confidence. What a Day! Sad times, I knew this day was going to come. But to end off 2 long weeks,  We went to the mall to do our last shopping. Then it was time.

Having a chance to survive during a heatwave at a theme park was quite an experience. Finally everything went back to normal. We Arrived  in New Zealand. Back to Chores and Babysitting, I can’t wait for the next Holidays.

Letter to Family

Dear Family in Samoa and Australia

I know that this letter might not reach out to you guys but I just want to say Merry Christmas. I hope you get this letter. What are you doing for Christmas. I can’t wait to visit you guys in Aussie,

I hope I’m still coming. It feels like a very long time since you have been gone. Family in Samoa, I remember when I came to Samoa for Christmas and always went to your house. For Christmas we had a BIG feast and afterwards we had Ice-cream.

I also remember when I was crying because I didn’t want to go back to New Zealand. Going to Samoa was such an Adventure I wish I could experience it one more time. I will pray for you guys everyday. I would love it if I could send lots of food and water and other supplies that you guys need for this summer. I know that in Samoa during summer its very hot.

All I’m trying to say to you guys in Samoa and Australia is Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
