We should speak our language at home

Here are my three reasons why we should speak our language at home My family is samoan and thats what we have to speak:

 

  1. My first opinion on why we should speak our language at home it’s because my dad and my nana don’t really know how to speak English at home. When they try to speak English they stutter trying to communicate with me and my siblings.

 

2.  Sometimes I also stutter trying to speak English and Samoan to speak with my family. My parents and my nana come from Samoa which makes it harder for them.

 

3. I am use speaking my language at home so I can learn more Samoan and look after my nana while i’m home I speak more Samoan than English.

Athletics Reflection Task

Task Description: On November 7th we had athletics day. This is how I felt about it. At first, I felt scared because I don’t like doing things in front of a lot of people. But as the day went on, I felt less shy and got excited! I pushed myself to join in on everything, even though I didn’t win any placements.

The best part of the day was spending time with my friends. We were having fun doing all the activities, laughing a lot, and taking photos together. these were my favorite out of all of them so enjoy reading

  1. Shot Put This was my absolute favorite because I had the most fun doing it with my friends. Even though I think I might have hurt my arm trying to push the shot really far, I tried my best, and it was great that one of my friends ended up winning!
  2. Discuss I liked Discuss because it was a chance to chill out a bit with my friends since the weather was so hot.
    1. Tug-of-War: This was a lot of fun because everyone on the team was trying their hardest to win.

    The funniest thing I did all day was in the High Jump. I started laughing as I was jumping because the stick hit my back! I didn’t want anyone to see me jump, but I still had a good laugh about it. My house team was great at working together. We all encouraged each other and helped out. For example, my friend supported me when I felt shy, which helped me push myself to participate.

    I was inspired by my friend, Chrissy Dee, who showed great sportsmanship. Her team was losing, but she was still trying her very best to help them! I learned an important lesson about myself: I get scared easily, but if I just give it a go, I can do it. I won’t let fear stop me anymore—I’m going to keep trying my best.

    My friend Alepina had an amazing day; she got first place in High Jump, reaching about 1.4 or 1.5 meters! I wish I was that sporty, but I was happy for her.

    My highlight was just having a great time with friends, always trying our best, and enjoying what we were doing. Although High Jump was my worst event because I didn’t try my hardest, I would definitely do athletics again. It’s fun, and you get to spend time with your friends.

    My advice for Year 6 and 7 students is: Give it a go. You might discover a sport you love, and even if you don’t, it’s still worth trying your best. Thank you for reading. Please leave a positive.
