Tevita's netbook shortcuts

Ancestral poetry

Writing Description.

Friends. Siblings. Family. All gathered around the park for a special reason. The boy’s birthday and he was doing a very special trick.

Climbing on top of a tree, hugging tight with fear and refusing to let go but still, fear wrapped around him like a snake.Soon he climbed. Higher. Still he could smell sausages, food and fresh air from up there.. As he got closer, he could smell BBQ smoke.

He looked down to see the ground laughing evilly at him and the tree shouting “Jump, Jump, Jump!” With a deep voice. The trampoline underneath, and to the right were people. Laughing and singing.



The boy heard a demon, dressed as his friend, asking him if he’s ready. Getting ready to push him off. He took a step forward. Tears running out of his eyes and it suddenly started raining. He took one step closer to the edge.

He took another step closer to the edge and he could taste blood even though he wasn't bleeding. He jumped off and the air inside his lungs tried escaping but he held it in. As he was falling, he did a double front flip and landed safely with a smile.

Netbook reflection 2012.

Hi, my name is Tevita and I have just completed my 2nd year with my netbook. This is my 2012 netbook reflection.

The positives I experienced this year include shortcuts e.g Ctrl z (undo) and Ctrl c (copy.) Another positive is that we can finish our movies faster.

Some negatives that occurred this year were that people some people download things with a virus and their netbook gets re-imaged (and that takes a long time so their learning time get wasteted.)

This term was really cool because not only we have netbook, but because we got to spend time with our friends and the student council and some of the patrol monitors got to go to rainbows-end.

It is good to save energy.

Do you hate having to pay a lot of money on your electricity bills? Well you’re in luck!

You should start saving energy now and reject your bills and make sure they go down. 

Unbelievably, you should start by using public transport, using a bike or you could just walk to school or work, this prevents the earths preposterous climate change. Cars produce greenhouse gasses that melt the ice in the Arctic that makes water overflow the earth.

Not only that, but also, this can save your money just as well as the animals in the Arctic. Surely you would agree that you would want to save your’s and the worlds life?

My final point is that you should start saving energy here are two more reasons how: turn off all electronics when no one is using it and take shorter showers. This will save

money and our earth for our future generations.

That is why I think you should start saving energy. I recommend that you should make sure running taps and other never used appliances and electronics like your netbook are turned off when not in use.

Fireworks description.

On one chilly night, exploding fireworks filled the sky. Red, Blue, Green, and orange filled the sky like a colourful rainbow. Boom, Crash, Boom. Fireworks exploding one by one. We were stricked by happiness and full of surprise. The smell of smoke ran through our nose while we were eating tasty sausage sizzles.

Tevita and the circus competition.

Remember TOPS
What is happening in this picture?  What happened before this moment?  What will happen next?

                                                    Tevita and the competition Part 1.

Music playing, fans screaming and cheering. “Alright folks. I know you all know the good news. The famous Misimoa Tauaisili and Tupou Kilisimasi has decided to host their circus here in our very own city.” Announce a man wearing a black tuxedo and a matching white tie said. “Hooray!” I shouted. “I have been waiting for this day all year.” I cried in my mind. “And did I forget to tell you that there is a competition. But that’s not all, the winner will also get to join Misimoa and Tupou during their tour around the world.” said the announcer. “I’ve got to enter and win.” I whispered to myself. “Thats means right after school, you’ll have to practise.” My mind said.

At school, my arch-enemy Jake twinkletoes walked up to me and said. “I heard that you're entering the competition.” he said.
“So, what about it.”
“I just came to warn you to give up while you still can, or else.”
“Or else what.”
“You’ll see and don’t say I didn’t warned you ”
“Your threats don’t scare me.” I said and walked away. Even though he was the best juggler, the funniest guy in school, and the best in everything else, there was only one thing that he couldn’t do. That was tightrope walking. Even though i’m scared of heights, I still had to try. Right after school, I ran home and started practising because tomorrow was when the big competition started. All afternoon, I spend most of my spare time practising and finding new ways that can help me get better. To be continued....

Piri Weepu writing description.

Tevita Fau

It was windy as I looked out from the stadium to see Piri Weepu leading the haka proudly for his country at night time. When he is leading the haka, he looks furious and mad like someone has just stolen something from him. Did you know that Piri Weepu was born on September the 7th? That means he is 28 years old.He looked as solid as a brick.When the Haka finished they all did the Pukana while the Australians watched in a terrifying way.

Now it was time for the kick off to start the match.The Australians kicked the ball high in the air for the All Blacks to catch. Piri Weepu rumbles, stomps and jumps as high as he can to catch the ball.

When I saw the black t-shirt that has the number 9 on I knew it was him and I cheered him on. He was zooming though the defenders like a cheetah and pushing the fullback away like a mad rhino. He dived for a try as his friends were happy for him.The fans roared “YEAH!” The kicker sets up the ball for the kick at goal while the crowd were cheering him on. He takes a step back and runs up and kicks the ball in with his mighty leg and the ball goes straight though the goal post.

Piri Weepu is my favourite player because he is strong and bulky like a warrior and he has never had a yellow card or a red card.

Prize giving recount.

Last year, the second to last day of school we had prize giving. All the year 6’s were lining up outside getting ready for prize giving. Then one of the teachers told us to go on the stage and sit down on our own chair just like we practised. But this time I was really scared because there were frightening eyes everywhere like their watching my every move. As soon as we sat down, Miss Hansell (the principal) started with a welcoming speech. After that a student named Ofa did a little speech then another student named Faith read the story that she wrote for the writing sample test.

Later that day Mrs Fepuleai called out students one by one to come up and get their awards. While Mrs Fepuleai was calling out the awards, I was looking around the room left and right searching for my parents hoping they didn’t come. Suddenly at the back I could see my parents watching me. On my mind I was screaming my lungs out “Noooooo!” Just at that very moment Mrs Fepuleai called out my name to come get an award and I could see my parents smiling at me. Outside My mum and Dad took some photos of me telling me how proud they are and then we went home.

My Beautiful Place

Far beyond the edge of the world is my beautiful place...

When I first arrived in my beautiful place, I could see birds flapping their wings, small kids eating a castle made out of jelly, people in their jet-packs and the most amazing thing I could see were jet boards. I walked inside this shop and they were selling free things. I grabbed a jet-board, an electronic pencil and this robot that will do anything I want it to do.

I was thirsty so I decided to drink some water from the fountain but instead chocolate came out and I was surprised by it. I said to my robot “Go buy me something to eat!” A minute later it came back with some popcorn and candy. It tasted 10 times better than the past.

Suddenly I heard this loud noise coming from behind. I turned around to see a round metal spaceship so I decided to go for a ride.

I was walking around with my robot servant when this sweet smell caught my nose and I knew it had to be perfume so I took one with me.

On my way exploring my beautiful place, I heard a loud roar coming from my left. I walked inside to see people and animals being noisy and kids making a lot of noise. The noise was so noisy that my ear was going to explode so I floated away on my jet-board saying to myself “Anything is possible in my beautiful place.”

I hope you can visit my beautiful place in the future where anything is possible some day!

Buddy Writing/Welcoming Tonga

When I opened the door I was crowded with people dressed in red and white.I said to myself “what are these people doing,is this a festival?” So i jogged closer to see and hear what was happening. As I got closer I can hear people shouting yelling and and singing with harmony.

I see Tongan flags waving in the hands of fans exhausted from waiting for the Tongan Rugby Team.

As the Ikale Tahi approaching the stage they were screaming and chanting with their red t-shirts, red flags and their bright red faces and proudness for there country.

Then the streets were full of Tongan flags waving in the air representing the Island and culture.

My Day in the Big City

When I walked down from the plane, I could see people hurrying to their jobs, bus drivers waking up to pick up people and open stores just getting ready to sell their things. When I walked past burger king, I could smell the sweet smell of a double cheese burger. I walked in and ate a burger. The burger was so sweet that I walked back in to get another one. It wasn’t that long before I had finished eating. I walked back out and could smell the sweet smell of perfume every where. I was starting to like this city more than my other city.

I suddenly walked over to the pizza shop (where I work) to start my day. When I took one step inside could see so many people inside already waiting for their pizza. Suddenly the boss frightened me with a big growl saying, “Get back to work!” While I was working, I could feel my body saying “Work faster, work faster.” When I finished working, I tidied up the place and ran outside to catch a taxi so I could get to the airport faster.

I made it there just in time for the plane. As got back I told my family and they were happy for me. It was fun in there.
