Short message: This is going to be long so hold on tight!

During the holidays, on Monday 25th September. My Nana told me that white Sunday is going to be on 8/10/23. She then told me, my older sister and younger brother to get ready to practice my tauloto. When we got dropped of by our papa, we arrived. Everyone was there. All the kids including my siblings and I walked in a single row, we then began to say our taulotos, sadly me and my younger brother (Kevin) didn’t say ours because we forgot, but thankfully our older sister (Sapphire) said hers, when we got home and told our Nana the good and bad news. She was not happy with me and Kevin, but was proud of Sapphire, she was happy for her. The next day on Tuesday, it was all the same. But after practicing all hour, I finally remembered my tauloto by heart. When we went back to church, my heart was racing. We then went into a single row once again, and when it was my turn to say my tauloto, I froze, when Saloma (The teacher) was about to say my tauloto that I was supposed to say, my mouth opened and I said it out loud :(O le atalii o le Tagata, o le ali’i, lea o le Sapati). My teacher was proud, so was my papa and sapphire. As days went by of practicing, it was finally white Sunday, me, Sapphire, Kevin, and my Nana and papa got ready, me and Sapphire literally had to wear mascara and lipstick regardless of our age. Once we arrived, everyone was in their white clothing, we went first and I said my tauloto out loud, my sister did as well, sadly our brother didn’t. Secondly, the big children or kids around 14 yr old and 17 yr old went next, they did a short play of how Jesus healed a blind man. Then the adults did a short play, I didn’t know what kind of play. After all the performances, everyone that was a part of the performance get all together and sang a short song with some small actions. Once we got home, I was relieved that I nailed it and did good, my siblings were also calm that it was all over now.

Today, Tuesday 12 September 2023, We went to the All Blacks. First we entered and on the ground it had some cool designs, Pink and purple Goo. It was shiny and in the design I saw a skull that had candy eyes. It was a cool art. We went on an escalator to the 2nd floor and went in a medium sized room and room 11, 13 and 14 were there. We all had wristbands and we had blue ones. We went into a dark room, there was a 1969 TV and a giant screen behind it. First, The lady chose the person to volunteer and it was Rose.T, She was taught how to work an old TV, It wasn’t the same as our type. Then we watched a video on the giant screen. It showed little kids and more children that played rugby. Second, We went inside a room with screens that are used for playing on I think. There were teams 1 and 2, I was in team 2. Me and Mr. Pese teamed up on the same touch pad. It was like a memory game. All you have to do is memorise the instructions. Our team won all the rounds which was expecting. We then went inside a room that had rectangles like space boxes. Everyone went inside and I was too scared because I didn’t want to gain claustrophobia. We watched a video of all the black team players, Then the lights shut on and turned back off. Weird music was playing and I was terrified. It was uneasy for me but funny for the others. It was a man speaking. Then we went inside a room and it had a giant screen. And the black rugby players were there and did the haka. It was quite loud and I was annoyed. It was time to eat so we went back inside the room where everyone met and we ate. It was a fine lunch. Most of the girls and boys went inside the bathroom but we used the elevator to get there. The bathroom was so big and everyone was screaming because of excitement, the girls were screaming soz went outside. Then the lights went off and the screaming got louder, then they all ran outside. We went outside and back to school by bus.

30/8/23/ My father is the smartest and kindest person I know In my life. He is always worried for me and my siblings because my brother cannot speak. He makes jokes that we never laugh at, which is funny to him. On the 26th of December 2022, He got me a computer mouse. It was green, My favourite colour, I still don’t know how much. He wants us to go and have fun outside and have more fun. Dad said we will be living on South Island for seventeen days. He wants me to go but I keep refusing, He is great. My Father doesn’t want me to stay in my room forever now. Dad is like an adventurous person, I love that about my dad.                           By Rose.S I hope you enjoyed reading! 🙂

During the holidays, My favourite thing was going to my auntie Ange’s house in the countryside.

Out there, They had a house which was built near a farm that they owned, And there were dogs and horse’s, Just those two types of animals.

Being at their home was a blast, We all had fish and chips, Also some soda that I drank a lot, I like being hydrated but my mum said I had to sleep with my sister in our cousins room which I refused to do, She insisted but they got to me anyway, My dad said we could ride the horses early in the morning if we wouldn’t stay up late.

In the morning, My uncle cooked hash browns, bacon, scrambled eggs and sausages for us to eat later, In a short time, Me and my families went outside to ride horses, I went with lady (The horse) and faith went with the other horses, I had so much fun, Then after, my mum, baby sister, brother and my sister sapphire had turns as well, We ate breakfast and left to go home on another journey.

Thank you for reading!
