Don't scratch it or you might get a boil! By Launoa

Have you ever had chicken pox in Australia before?

[In Australia/Sydney in Black Town] My cousin in Sydney, Australia had chicken pox at that time when he was 8 years old. After a few weeks of him having it I started having an itchy back. 

The day that my 10 cousins and my brother Folau was sitting in the living room talking. Told my older cousin who was 17 years old that my back had been itchy for a week and she said to me to get up so she could check my back. She told my brother, my cousins and I that I was at the start beginning stage of having chicken pox.

Once it was dark I had to go and have  shower, it was annoying and scary because I had to shower with the chicken pox shampoo. It was scary because there was a huge, big mirror and the left side of the bathroom. After I had my shower, my cousin called me over to her so she could put white, watery medicine all over my body, she had to put some more medicine over the chicken pox between my mouth and nose.

When I sniffed the medicine, I felt dizzy and started to vomit into my bowl that my cousin had given me.Weeks later, all of my chicken pox disappeared from my body.

I felt really proud because of my body having had chicken pox at the age of 10. I'm glad that I have had chicken pox because that means I'm not likely to have it again.

Why do I have to go mum? By Launoa

My weekend recount!

Do you know how boring watching your brother’s Polyfest practise is?

On Saturday 21th of February 2015, it was a beautiful sunny day and it was really hot. We went inside the hall and there were lots of boys sitting down ready for practise. They were practising for Poly fest.

Before the practise was about to start , we hurried to get some chairs for us to sit on.

I was really shy because my brother told me to come over. I said “No” because in the Tongan culture the girls are not allowed to hang around the boys. So my mum told me to sit down with her.

A few minute later, the Sacred Heart boys including my brother had a 10 minute break so my mum, auntie, cousins, and I had to prepare the food. The boys were lucky because they had ice cream, pancakes and some fizzy drinks. After their 10 minutes break, they practised for their performance.

Then there was a loud drum that came out of nowhere. I had to block my ears in front of everyone. After that, was the practise almost finished so I went outside with Akesa and some of my friends. I was  happy when the practise ended.

I had a boring time because I had nothing to do, it would be awesome if the Tongan boys had more interesting dance moves so that we can make the other schools jealous.

Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I write the introduction, followed by the events and then the conclusion.
