Early in the morning at seven my alarm clock rang. “It’s seven already” I said “hurry up get up” my mum shouted. I didn’t wanna get up because it is so cold I huddled myself with the blanket, I went right underneath my blanket and put the pillow over my ears so I wouldn’t hear anything.

My mum kept on saying “hurry up get up your gonna be late for school” but then I went back to sleep. “I’m still really tired” I said to my mum. Then a few minutes later I accidentally fell back to sleep. My mum came to my room “hurry up” she said.

The Samoan group

The Samoan group

Today at assembly when we went to the hall we sat down in the front row and there was a Samoan group from Tamaki College sitting on the stage. They were waiting for everyone to come so they could start performing. 

As soon as they started performing I thought they were really awesome. The song they started with was a clapping song and the moves were really fast.

There performance was good when they finished everyone clapped and cheered for them then they went of the stage. Then Mr Burt started talking how good the performance was for a little bit.

Then after a little while the Samoan group came back on stage and they did another performance but it was a shorter one. Then when they finished we all cheered and clapped for them and that was the end of the Samoan group.

Angry Emily

In a few minutes later Laura was going to do shopping. When Laura was going Emily came in and saw Laura grab the car keys. “Oh are you going shopping” Emily said to Laura and Laura said yes “Oh cool can I come” Emily replied back. “No because every time you come shopping with me you always embarrass me by yelling and stuff and you always say can I have this can I have that”. Laura replied back to Emily. Emily got really angry and had red cheeks and a angry face. She rolled her eyes and clenched her fist. “I hate you don’t talk to me again” Emily said back in a nasty voice. She slammed her bedroom door and locked herself inside “I’m gonna go shopping by myself one day” Emily thought to herself.

Keri was nervous

Keri is playing in a netball game. Keri woke up and went to get ready she is a really good netball player so the coach made her become captain. She was having a shower and getting ready. When she got out she quickly dried and and got dressed. She put her socks and shoes on. She was looking for her netball “I can’t find my netball” Keri said to her dad “Try look harder” her dad said back to Keri. Keri was nervous because she thought when she returned to the game everyone would have looked at her and laughed at her. She is nervous because she might have let her team down.

Tame was excited

Tame is really excited because her best friend was gonna pick her up to go on a fishing trip. Her friend rang her “Sorry but I can’t pick you up to go on a fishing trip i’m so sorry” her friend said to her on the phone. So Tame was really sad because her friend couldn't pick her up. She was getting ready to wait outside for her friend but now her friend isn’t coming.
