A Flash In Time


It was a really bright morning but slightly windy at the same time and no one was driving on the street. I was just looking at my grandpa he was only standing there gazing back at me and so I look to the other side and saw the trees swaying like a Hawaiian ladies grass skirt going left and right. I turn to the other way and the road was just looking like there was a tractor who just swallowed it up. Then I turn and looked at the back of me and the pohutukawa tree was so bright I thought it was Christmas.

Looked back at my grandpa and he said to me in a deep small whisper “Why are you here?” and I replied “ I'm here because of you.” I heard my grandpa crying because he misses me and he replied “Go back go back” I yelled “No!” and his spirit just drifted away it was just like the wind blew him away. I searched around for him but still he wasn't there then I heard whispers in my head I ran to a tree hugging it so tight I thought the tree was going to pop. The voices in my head were so loud it was like I was in a tornado and everyone was just saying “Help, help.” Finally the voices stop my head was clear I finally listen to the birds singing with their chirps and the rocks on the road rolling and crackling like it was the bird little instrument.

I could feel the rough bark and chilly wind just hitting my arm giving me goosebumps. I feel a the leafs falling down laying down on my soft skin and my soft silky hair. I could also feel the grass covering my feet as the wind blows it. My clothes are waving like a flag. I feel my face going really cold about to faint but I know I have to find my grandpa.

As I'm hugging the tree I smell sausages I think but it was just the the pohutukawa tree. I also smell the fresh grass and the salty breeze. When I was hugging the tree I smelt the honey from the beehive all the way up in the tree. I smell the leaves that fall on my head.Then I smell a spirit nearby. I can smell the salty sea water splashing on the edge were the rocks are.







My First Time Taking My Netbook Home


Today I got to take my netbook home and that means that I can get to do my homework online that my teacher has organised for me and that I can catch up on unfinished work from school plus I can blog more and share with the world the work that I have been doing and share it with my lovely teacher Ms Aireen and bonus point after we finish our homework we get to have free time but only if the home work is quality and up to a year 7 and 8 standard.

Will.I.Am Donates $100,000,00 To Manaikalani




Faith,Taylor,Jayden, Mavis got the chance to experience another way of  learning with the Manaiakalani. A fantastic piece of news which came to us as "Someone donated some money to the Manaikalani education trust" Well we found out that someone was MrWill.I.Am
I hope you enjoy reading my awesome experience below 
Please leave a comment!!!

Thursday 6 May 2013, was well... the best day of our life!!! I’m not being dramatic or anything but a group of students got the chance to see that Mr.William James Adams,otherwise known as Will.I.Am . He has donated $100,000 to the Manaiakalani Education Trust. We were told at first that it was an anonymous donater but when we arrived we got the news that it was Will.I.Am himself who had donated the money.It was something worth experiencing.


When the cheque was presented we were thankful and honored for his helpful donation towards the Manaiakalani Education Trust. His inspirational words motivated us all as students to keep moving forward in life.


The words that he preached today was "My mission is to help transform disadvantaged youths, and I hope my donation to the Manaiakalani Trust will help these young people gain the skills they need for tomorrow's job market."


We acknowledged that fact the he shared a small portion of his life with us about growing up with  only his mum to raise him and about the fact that music and arts literally saved his life. He told us that his dream was to look after his mother and siblings.


When he told us what his dream was we felt like we could do something with our life. Meeting or hearing him wasn’t just hearing or seeing him as a celebrity but we got to hear and see him as a person who motivated himself to succeed in life.


We came back to school feeling glad we got to be part of something worth remembering, we got to be part of something we could tell our friends with pride and experience.
