My fantastic weekend! By Philomena

On Saturday 14th of June, my auntie and I went to her Parish hall. I was in a Samoan Puletasi. It looked very pretty, it had red flowers with black outline and a white background.

We went past a lot of people standing next to their cars as we were going in the hall. Suddenly, we heard a loud “BOOM!” Loud music bounced in my ears, it was so loud I could still hear it even if I covered my ears. We sat down and made ourselves comfortable. There were not  as many people coming into the hall as I expected.

Then a man walked in front of us with a microphone thanking us for coming. He said that there will be performances and they will be serving us cups of tea later. The first performance was by a girl  and her mother. It was pretty  good. The next person who performed was a lady and she was amazing! I tried to copy some of her moves but they were too hard.

Then the moment has came for me to perform. I was so nervous that I felt like I was shaking from the inside. But since there weren't that many people there, my nervousness faded away. I started to run  towards the centre of the hall with my bare feet because that is our culture. I did my very best to make my auntie proud of me. I was so proud of myself and I had finished my dance before I realized it. When the program was finished, we had a cup of tea and doughnuts. It was yummy!

Finally we said Goodbye and we went home. It was a long day for me but it was definitely a fantastic Saturday.

Can't Wait to Eat! By Patelesio

After church, my family and I went back home to change to go to Sky City for a family dinner. We were all excited! When we arrived there we had to use the lift to get to P3 where the Sky City restaurant was. I can't wait to start eating!

We had to pray before eating the food that was prepared for us. Then,  we went  and got our food and my first food I ate was fish, chips, fried rice and softdrink called L&P. Lastly, I had butter chicken which was very yummy and it was my favorite.

Everybody in my family ate a lot of  food. I felt that my tummy was really full and about to explode. We had lots of fun together and I wish that we can do it again soon. We all love the food there.

We all left and went home and  had a very long rest and a sleep. When I woke up my tummy still felt full! It was the best  family dinner ever!

In our second game we versed Bailey road. We lost, but we were getting better because we had warmed up from the first game. The score was 4-1 to Bailey road. It was a good game and we are starting to know where our positions are.

The third game was against Stonefields. We lost by 2 points. The score was 7-5. We were doing well by staying on-side. 

The fourth match was against Point England. I was on the sideline. Point England scored four points in the first half, but we came back in the second half by scoring 5 points. However, they went on to score another 2. The final score was 6-5. It was a very close game.

We versed Saint Pius in our final game. However, there was a twist, they forfeited the game so we had an automatic win. That was an awesome day!
