My leg

It is so sad because I am not able to play any sports until next term because I have sprained my leg during netball. I am going to miss netball and my rugby tournaments. I was really looking forward to this rugby tournament but I can’t. Now I go to Physio and train my leg to get better. I have been on crutches for about 2 weeks but now I have started walking. My leg is still weak and I can’t run. But luckily the term is nearly finished and I can play some sports next term.

I broke my leg 2 min after the game started which was not cool. I had to stay out for the whole game. My leg was iced and had put on a bag and Mrs Nua was telling me what R.I.C.E stands for. Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation and the doctors told me as well. So I just need to ice more and do exercises that Physio gave for me to do to get my leg better.

My grandma getting an award from the Queen

I just want to congratulate my grandma Mrs. Lealofi Setefano for getting an award from the Queen, Queen Elizabeth. Not only her but other people around NZ. My grandma has been recommended by the three Members Of The Parliament Peseta Sam Lotuiiga, Alfred Ngaro and Vui Mark Gosche. We are very thankful for them three for the happy nominate.

She, my grandma has got an award from the Queen for helping the community, working hard for the kindercare especially working hard for our church. Our family is very proud of my grandma because she has worked really hard, and this medal is very hard to get. My grandpa already had his. Now its my grandma and we are all proud.

My mum in Samoa first found out, that's how we found out. She rang us and told my grandma, and my grandma was very happy. We celebrated my grandmas hard work by going to Valentines. All our family came and they were proud. My grandma is a hard worker, she works hard for our family.

Valentines was awesome. My grandma had a very good time celebrating her medal from the Queen. Everyone bought her flowers and gifts. She was filled with happiness and a smile was always on her face. My aunty told me that this medal, this award is very very big and a huge honour.

Explanation of how sound is created:

Introduction:

I’m going to explain how sound is created from my guitar. As you already know I have made a homemade guitar. You won’t really hear any noise if I play it. But when I play my guitar, the sound waves suddenly vibrate.

Main reason:

Answering ‘how’

The string (rubber band) vibrates when I strum it. So thats how the vibration of the rubber band creates the sound waves.

Conclusion:

If you have done the guitar and it looks like one, then congratulations because you have just made a homemade guitar. You have followed my instructions and have completed it. Was it easy? Did you understand the instructions? Making a guitar with cardboard things is very easy. Have fun strumming your guitar!

Samoan Week

This week is Samoan week. It is a very special day for the Samoans, our school Point England has celebrated it by our Samoan group performing as well as Tamaki college Samoan group. I was in the Samoan group. Our school has declared Samoan week for Tamaki Makaurau a.k.a Auckland. It was very nerveracking because I just joined the Samoan group on Friday, and the Samoan group was already been made because the dance that we did was from the FiaFia night.

My grandparents Rev. Lei’ite Setefano and his wife (my grandma) Lealofi Setefano came to support our school for the Samoan week, and he is a very good friend of Mr Burt our principal. Also Sam Lotu-Iiga is the NZ Parliament for Maungakiekie. He has come to support just like why my grandparents came, and he was a very good friend of my mum. They went to University together.

Mr. Burt and the school were saying in the hall “Taofi mau i au measina” which means “Hold fast to your treasure”. After both of the schools had perform everyone had left and only Tamaki college and our Samoan had morning tea.

HAPPY SAMOAN WEEK!!! Cheeehoooo!!

How does musical instrument creat sound?

1. Intro:

Guitars are one of the most enjoyable instruments in the world. A lot of people play guitars more than the other instruments. Do you want to know how a guitar works, well this story is about a guitar!

2. Parts of a guitar:

On a guitar there are six strings. It goes from low to high. On the guitar there is a headstock, tuners, nut, neck, sound hole, body and bridge. All those parts are very helpful. The headstock is on the top where the tuners and nut are. On a guitar there is a neck, the neck is the long part where you play the chords. The sound hole, is when you strum a guitar it goes into the hole and rebounds back. Lucky last is the bridge, the bridge is on the body, it holds the strings on the guitar.

3. How is sound created from a guitar?

The guitars sound is created by the soundhole. When a string from a guitar is played, the sound waves vibrate through the air and it goes into your ear. When someone plays a guitar, it goes inside the soundhole.

4. How to play a guitar:

You play a guitar by putting your fingers on the chords on the neck. Then when you strum a guitar it will sound good. Once you get the chords all you need to do is to get the beats right and you’ll know!

5. Conclusion:

Guitars are fun and easy to play. It will sound good if you learn how to play a song.
