My holiday was awesome because we did a lot of work in our backyard and it is huge. It is about 27 meters long and our grass was about 1m long. My brother and my dad and I were making our backyard look clean. It took us three whole days to make it perfect.
What we had to do was use the weed eater on the grass, then rake it into a bag and when the bag was full of grass, we dumped it in our garden because the grass is good for the soil. My dad and I also did the lawn mowing.The responsibility that I took was raking the grass. My brother put the grass into the bag and we would take turns dumping it.
It took us about half a day to one full day. The next day we did a quarter and on the last day we did the rest of the grass. I really liked raking the grass because I had something to do during the holidays it was really awesome.
The best thing of all was at the end because we got paid.

The amazing race
During camp we had to complete a very complicated game and that game was called the amazing race and for sure it was amazing. We had to collect a variety of things we had to collect wood, a really big tin, a wood chip and an egg. We had to get all of these items from different places we got them from places like the local swimming our public beach and our nearby Bakery. All these items that we collected was to make a hobo stove and it was awesome.

Camp Concert
Camp concert was amazing because we came 2nd and it was a miracle. I didn't really think we would come 2nd or 3rd. I thought we were going to come 4th but I was wrong. Anyway there were 6 groups and my group was called the Respectronics. We were the 3rd group to perform. I was really really nervous but when I performed my nerves went away.
The name of the 6 groups were Respectors, Team Respect, Respect crew, Respectronics, Respectables and the Respect Squad. Now what is funny to me is that all groups have the word respect in it. My group the Respectors did the songs 'Pump It' by 'Black Eyed Peas' and 'Clumsy' by an unknown artist.
The display of the concert was okay but it could have been better. We could of added lights, and a little bit more colour to make it fun and enjoyable. The atomsphere of the concert was nerve-racking beceause there were quite a few people there to watch us and I bet some of the kids where getting scared and some nervous and others confident but what I was saying in my head was that when we go on it is finshed.

Camp
The last day of camp was a blast because of the one and only Vodafone Warriors. But before that there was more. On Wednesday 14th March my school Pt England went to Swimarama Pools and it was awesome. We went there for our camp and I thought that when we were going to Swimarama it was going to be raining but it was a hot and dreadful day.
When we got there we saw the massive hydra-slide tall fences and finale the entrance. When we came upon the entrance we walked straight in and the first group to sit down in there two lines was the first group to go on the Hydro-slide but I really didn't want to go on the hydra-slide because it was dark and sore when you go down.
I got in to my line and our team leader Mrs Nua was telling us rules and other things like that. Then we started swimming. I didn't want to go for a swim because it was cold. But later on I jumped in and played with my friends and it was fun. The best game that I liked was NFL because adults were playing and they where really good.
All of a sudden when I caught the ball you could hear “Warriors Warriors” getting louder and louder because the warriors where at the Panmure Pools in the lanes, training and it was EPIC!!!!!!!!! We saw Shaun Johnson, Maun, Simon Mannering and many more. Heaps of kids at camp started to do the haka then I joined in and did the haka then the watched us do it and Manu bowed to us and it was awesome

Multi Coloured uniforms

umpires
diamonds

waking up from a magical dream I suddenly realized that that day was going to be a very winning day because that was the day My team mates and I represented my school Point England in the 2012 softball tournament.
I was all sicked because we where going to our fellow rivals (Tamaki Intermediate) to play a huge softball tournament. Other school in the area were coming to play as well. My team would accepted any challenge even if the New York Yankes asked we would say “bring it on”
because that's how good we think we are .
I was wondering how are we going to get down there until i asked my friend and he said “we are walking” then I just dropped because I just had come from we were going but then I got over it then we moved out.
In my team Was Joe the big hitter , Matthew T the skill, Joseph the big boy Havea the strenght, Matthew R the brains, De’vyne the speed
aidan the learner, lepa the looks, Cruz the catcher and me well Im just a normal.
The very first game we played was against some Intermediate and we won 12 to 7. The next game we played was against Saint Heliers and that was a easy game to and the score 10-2. After that we played Ellerslie and they were tough match beat us by 1 and the final score was 4-5. The last game to see if we make it in to the semi finals was against Slyvia Park and the alright but we won. Once we finished our last game we went to go sit down and waited anxiously for the call to see if we where in the semi and then I heard we have made it and I was saying in my head repeatedly yeah.
Then we played our semi final and we lost 9-11 to chuchill but the game was very intense because we were all hitting home runs because the ball will connect with the ball and it would go far as. But the very last game we lost as well I didn't really care all the boys where tired and sleepy so we just did what could but in the end we lost but we still had a great time and in the end I felt Great :)

Every week on Thursday we have Netball sessions with Liz our instructor. She teaches new skills and techniques all the time when we go there. We train hard at Pt England School to try and learn as much as we can so we can use the skills in other sports like rugby, basketball and other sports.
Ever since the second week of school we have been playing netball and it has been exceptional. I have been learning lots of new skills like placing my feet correctly and intercepting the ball. But the one that I really like is shooting because it is simple and easy to do.
Before we start training half of our class need bibs and the others have no bibs. But before we do anything else we had to stand on the noughts and crosses. After that we split in to different teams of 4-6. Then we started our drills.
The very first skill we learnt was chest passing and it was easy. At the end of every session we always have a game and the game that we played was netball tag and it was very fun because I was getting heaps of people out.

Treaty Of Waitangi
40 Maori chiefs
Missionaries

land
treaty
Henry Williams
peace
Influence
territory
doucment
History
European
Hone Heke
William Hobson
James Busby
Conflicted
The 6th of February is a day that the Maori will never forget because that day was the day the Maori and European signed the Treaty Waitangi.
The main people who signed the treaty were William Hobson, James Busby, Hone Heke, Henry Williams and Tamati Waka Nene . It was signed in Waitangi in the Bay of Islands in the North Island. The purpose of the treaty was to make peace and stop the conflicts between the Maori and Europeans. The Europeans wanted the Maoris to have a government to protect the missionaries and the Maori.
The Treaty was about the 3 p’s. 3 p’s are Protection Partnership and participation. The first P that I am going to talk about is Protection protection means protecting the land and the things and people that live their. (Partnership) Partnership is to have great relationship's between the Maori and the European. Participation is the last p. The Maori and the Europeans participated together to make a new home and make it a new place.
In our school Pt England we have the 3p’s and they are the same as the treaty of Waitangi. But they are set differently. Protection is to protect the little ones care for them. Partnership is to have really great bonds with friends and let them play with you if they ask. Finally Participation to participate in activity's and with buddies during work.
