Falefitu Tony Laulu - Special Suprise Visit to Room 3 Literacy!

We had a very Special Guest visit Room 3 Literacy, His name is Falefitu Tony Laulu. Falefitu Tony Laulu, an author who creates accessible and more true books about our islander culture.  He was on his way to bring some books that our teacher had requested. He showed us his incredible literature on Pasifika culture, particularly Samoan culture. It depicts the current state of the world. His outstanding works were spoken and written in both the English and Samoan language and culture. My favourite book coming from collection is the book that I enjoy the best. Tony Laulu has two sons, one of their names is Lemalie and he is 7 years old. The other is 10 years old and his name is Sakalia. 

We would like to give a huge thank you to Falefitu Tony Laulu for coming to our school, Point England School and showing us your amazing cultural Samoan book that our teacher requested. When you came with these amazing books I just wanted to keep them that's how amazed and excited I was. I also learnt that if you can't speak any language but your that culture, It doesn't mean that your not that.

Writing: One day, in the evening I went to point chevalier beach for my cousin Calvin’s birthday. When my mum my dad and my brother’s and I finally got to point chevalier beach I saw my cousin sitting on the beach chair eating his banana and drinking his water. I saw this platform in the water that you could stand on and jump of so I asked my mum can I go on the platform she said where so I showed her where she said make sure don’t get hurt so I went in the cold cold water and I climbed up the ladder. When I saw other people jumping of. I wanted to Jump of as well but I couldn’t jump of because I was to little and plus when I walked across to the platform the tide was low but when I went and climbed up the ladder. One eternity later. I was relaxing on the platform when the platform was bumpy side to side because people will still jumping of. I finished my relax on the platform but when I woke up the tide was so high that I couldn’t get back to the sand. So my dad came across to the water and got me back across. Phew, so when I changed into nice and clean clothes so when I came back to the table I came in time for saying Happy 1st birthday to my cousin calvin. So I ate the chocolate cake with vanilla icing,sprinkles,chocolate cream, and chocolate chips on it. There was a the number one on it. Have a happy day ever after and here is the link to see what we are writing about.  LINK

Four years ago, I started school in 2014. My school was Point England School. I was a year one. I could finally going school and I was a bit scared to go to my class. When my mum dropped me of to class when she went she said Bye Bradley see you after school than I was starting to do a lot of work and It was my first work I've ever done In school and I was confused of what I was doing on my first Ipad. One of the first trips I went to in year 1 was the Zoo. It was very fun there because I saw one of my favourite animals there. My favourite animal that I saw at the Zoo was the Tigers because they have a good texture for your blanket for you to use. When school finished I went home and went sleep for an hour. When I woke up my mum and dad was right in front of me ready to go in the car somewhere so when I went into the car we went to my Aunt's house, When I got there I straight away went to the trampoline because my Aunt’s son Calvin the little chubby one was on the trampoline jumping with his friend from daycare. So I went to the trampoline to jump with Calvin and his friend. When I went inside there was a surprise because I didn’t know it was my little cousin’s birthday. So that’s why my cousin’s friend from daycare was there. When we went to eat I ate Salad, Fish N Chips & chicken kebabs. When I got so full so I went home. Hope you Enjoy and here is the link to see what we did this week for our recount.

Hauora is a Maori word, that describes a person’s overall health and well being. The four dimensions of Hauora are often displayed is they four wells of a whare. Which provide stability and strength. The four dimension are: Taha tinana (Physical well-being or health), Taha Hinengaro (Mental & Emotional Well-being or self-confidence), Taha Whanau (social Well-being or personal beliefs).

Topic Sentence 1: The first dimension of Hauora is Taha Tinana which is physical well-being and health.

At lunchtime I always play basketball with my friends and I play touch and soccer on the field. My favourite fresh and healthy is eating vegetables and eating yumming fruits. To make me get hydrated is by drinking a lot of water every time a day.

Topic Sentence 2: The second dimension of Hauora is Taha Hinengaro which is Mental & Emotional well-being.

Sometimes to make me happy is by Playing with my friends and family and sometimes when i got negative emotional is when i’m grumpy and angry and mostly sad. What I want in my life is to have positive emotional because I wanna feel happy all the time.

Topic Sentence 3: Taha Whanau (social Well-being or personal beliefs).

My social well being is having fun with my family and playing with my family outside and going to the pools with them.

Topic Sentence 4: The last dimension of Hauora is Physical well being

My physical well being is playing with my friends and family and play sports at the rugby feild and eating so much fruits and food and lastly vegetables.

Conclusion:

My Hauora is by helping people around my school and around the world and by doing the 4 dimensions and by playing sensible games and by being positive at church.
