The voice from above

“Hello who’s there what do you want” I asked with a crack in my voice.I turned around and know one was there but then I heard something “ Kingston”. “ Who who is that” I replied as I was running with a tear in my eye. I kept looking around to see if any one was at home with me but there was no to be seen. I didn't know what to do so I hid in my room under my bed.






Under my bed waiting for my mum to come home I heard a voice and it said “ Kingston come out from under your bed”. I had know idea what to do so I yelled ‘NOOOOOO”but then I heard it again and again. So I got up and said “who are you...... what what do want from me”. “ I'm not here to harm you” “What”. So I said with great mana “well then who are you”,

“ I'm a spirit “.




“I was sent down from above to lead you on your path”. I was shocked I couldn’t believe it at first but after a few minutes I knew it was true. “What is this all about”, “well my boy I’m here to help you think what you want in the future say you want to be a sports player I can help with that”. “ It’s all about which path you want to take starting from now”.



standing there like a tall tree thinking about what he said to me . But there and then I said “ can you help me with anything involving things I want in life” he said “ yes”. “ I'm going to pick the right path and follow my dreams and inspirations I am going to do something around sports”.

Future Aspirations

On Thursday last week we had five speakers come to our school. They talked about what they're doing with there life. There was even a kid around my age that came to talk to us.




We got split up into year 7’s and 8’s, the year 8’s went into the street which is the intermediate block. We had two speakers come with us the, first speakers name was Mosa he is studying at the University of Auckland. At the moment he’s studying politics and something in pacific rights. He was so funny, he gave some boys 2 dollars for getting some questions right.

The other speakers had a lot of interesting jobs like a marine biologist and even more. But there was a speaker that stood out to me, and his name was Christen Pang. He his 11 and is starting University next year for mathematic.

I was so amazed with everyone that came to talk to us. It made me think of what I want to do in life.

First day of school

This is my second draft

Walking to school with a big smile on my face, my mum said to me “you're going to have fun don’t worry”. Saying goodbye was the hardest thing to do because I didn’t know anyone . She left like she had super speed, I couldn’t see her so I Awkwardly walk inside the classroom and said hi to my teacher her name was Mrs Maude.

I hooked my school bag on a hanger and sat down waiting nervously. I was about to bawl my eyes out when this boy came up to me and said “Do you want to play with me”. “YEEEAAAH” I just made my first friend “WOW”.

We played lots of games like lego and other sorts. BUT.... when mrs Maude called me to her table I didn’t know what to expected. I sat down and she gave me a book to read. “ You did well Kingston ” Mrs maude said to me. I was so happy that I jumped of my chair.

Brrrrrrrr Brrrrr Brrrrrr I wondered what the sound was So I ask my teacher “Mrs Maude what was that sound it sounded like the fire alarm”. She said “ no silly that’s the morning tea bell my darling”.

Getting my lunch box out of my bag like it was gold I had know idea what to eat. So I got yummy sandwiches out and ate the whole lot. I was still hungry so I nearly ate my whole lunch.


Playing around with my new friends was really fun. I still play with my friends from when I was little to now.

Today we had 40 minutes to write about our first day of school. From looking at our writing we are going to set some writing goals for the term.


Walking to school with a big smile on my face, my mum said to me “you're going to have fun don’t worry”. Saying goodbye was the hardest thing to do because I didn’t know anyone in room 2.

Spoken word Peom

Where i’m from I see people skilfully skimming rocks I see it jump 123.


I hear laughter with happy ness from my little sister splashing in the water.


I leapt up off the rock as if I was Michael Jordan doing a slam dunk in the water.

Birds flying around in the breeze squawking for some cheese.


racing against my friends I was the first to past the finish line as if I was Usain Bolt.

Where I’m from there are pictures of my family on the walls.


I hear nothing but the buttons on the cellphone when my sister is on it 24-7

I smell something burning every time my sister is straightening her hair.

I feel like turning of the tv when my dad is watching it late at night so I can get some sleep.


I taste perfume every time my family and I got out to dinner. 

I see the kids dancing to the thumping music across the street.

DLO Reflection

In my group we were doing a DLO about the great Michael Jordan,he is the best player of his era. Our plan wasn’t finished because we kept on talking and talking so miss king said that we couldn’t film. Our storyboard wasn’t finished either, so we just did an animation of Michael jordan doing the free throw line dunk. We added pictures of him and the video of his famous dunk.

The message we trying to send out to others is that Michael Jordan is the best player in the world. He has five MVPS and three all star MVPS Jordan became the most decorated player in the NBA. The animation was really fast so we had to add more to our movie. We didn’t have time to do another animation so we pictures of him and the video of the dunk..

The script was our voiceover because we thought that we were going to film but then we ended up animating. It was our fault that we couldn’t film because we did no work and kept talking for a long time. In my group was Waata, Samuela and me, we all took part in doing no work so why wouldn’t it be our fault.

B.ball tournament

After being sick all week last week Mr Barks left me a spot in the Basketball team. Miss V had to text my Mum if I was allowed to play. My Mum replayed “if he want’s to” I said yes I put a school top on  and warmed up. All the boys got the gear and jumped in the van, Mr Barks said “ Do we want to win” we all said “YES”.

Our first game was against St Thomas it was a good match against them. I don't really know what the finial score was but all I know is we won. We hoped straight into the next game we won that one to but it was as close as the first game. We had a little break before our last game.

Getting ready for the last game in our pool we were outside and warmed up. The hooter went the game started, at half time we were losing. The hooter went and the second half started we went all out but we still losed we played very good. Waiting to see if we were in the play offs we all ate our lunch and were watching the other teams play. Mr Barks came back and said we were third, we all were sad but at less we can somewhere. We came home safely it was a cool tournament.

SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY

Every year our school has Cross Country and this year I was a Takitimu helper. We got changed into our house colours. My colour is yellow like the sun shining upon us. I was holding the Takitimu sign well we were saying our chants. The first races got going all the house captains and helpers were going to cheers the runners on.




Yay “LET’S GO TAKI LETS GO”, We were saying to the Taki runners. We cheered and cheered for Taki until miss V told all of us to go and sit down and prepare for your run. So we stopped and went to sit down, I had butterflies but I didn’t let them concur me so I didn’t think about the run or about coming last.




Mr Burt said “ON YOUR MARKS GET SET GO”!!!! everyone started to run. Some ran as fast as they can so they could be in the front and some ran at a pasted like me. I was running with some of my mates when it was so hot we took of our t-shirts off because we were sweating like a pig. On our second lap one of my mates James slid in the mud puddles it was funny.


We Were nearly at the finish line when we stopped and were going to have a race to the finish line. 3 2 1 we started sprinting to the finish line when I stopped and jogged to the end. I drank four cups of water after the race I was so tired. It was really fun to be apart of cross country even though I didn’t first I still tried my best.
