What i didn’t know about lorde is that her real name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor

What I like about lorde: I liked the way she is from New Zealand

I thought this was hard because it took me a long time to type this down and because it took me a long to find fun fact (I didn’t find any)

The elf

There once was a mean elf. He was always unkind to people he met,

He is helpful when Santa is around but when he’s gone he is horrible.

 He takes all the presents for himself, blames on other elf's, everyone knows how cruel

He is. He is a very cheeky elf. So make sure he doesn't steal your presents on Xmas

One night at the zoo all the animals were sleeping. All the animals looked fascinating when they slept. One night a meteor crashed and hit 7 animals. Instead of the animals being injured the animals had transformed into something incredible. They turned into goo jujitsu superheros, there super because they save the day. However, three of the animals turned bad and wanted to rule the world, their names were Rock Jaw, Snake and Scorpion. The good  guys were Blazon, Pan taro, Tigor and Thrash. Their leader was the cheeky mysterious elf. He was the zoo keeper but he is Santa’s little helper now. He is a good elf because he helps the good guys. He was trying to help them figure out how too use there super goo power. His name is Master Shift. They were entertain-able and enjoyable to play with. One day they saw the ultra rare YETYYY. Pan taro was trapped and was about to, get burnt in LAVA!. Luckily the ultra rare YETYYY came to save the Dy and freeze the lava. And Skull the dumb dumb joined the bad guys because he was getting called, the dumb dumb.

Parihaka Jabez

Who founded parihaka? The village was founded about 1866 by Māori chiefs Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi on land seized by the government during the post-New Zealand Wars land confiscations of the 1860s.

What does parihaka mean? Parihaka was a Māori settlement in Taranaki in the 1860's when New Zealand was a British colony, and land was being divided up and given to European settlers.

Why is parihaka important to new zealand?The Invasion of Parihaka was contributed to by a number of causes such as pressure on the government, by European settlers, for New Zealand land to buy and inhabit that would be sourced as Maori land. ... The Waitangi Tribunal allowed for Maori to move on and to accept what had happened in the past.

When was parihaka invaded?About 1600 government troops invaded the western Taranaki settlement of Parihaka, which had come to symbolise peaceful resistance to the confiscation of Māori land. Founded in the mid-1860s.

Where did parihaka take place?Located seven kilometres inland from the coast near Pungarehu, Parihaka is a small Taranaki settlement with a big history. The events that took place in and around the area, particularly between 1860 and 1900, have affected the political, cultural and spiritual dynamics of the entire country.

How did parihaka start? The Parihaka settlement was founded about 1866, at the close of the Second Taranaki War and a year after almost all Māori land in Taranaki had been confiscated by the Government to punish "rebel" Māori.

The Best Holiday Jabez

The Best Holiday trip

One Friday morning I thought it was an ordinary day. My mum said “we were going to Gravity!” We all said “yes!” When we got there I was just staring because she said that my cousins were here (they weren’t). We had to stay at the place for about 15 minutes until they came. When they arrived we had to pay for ten people/kids and buy special socks to wear. My ncousins and brothers didn’t stop and listen to the rules. They kept running which they were not supposed to do at Gravity. While we were playing, we started a new game, it was call Ball Tiggy. I joined after the game started and I was ready but no one came for me. Until my older brother Opeti chased me but he didn’t get me, he said he was going for me. When we finished at the Trampoline park/Gravity we went to get us a feed then to Pak n Save to buy more food and drinks. We then drove up to One tree hill to have our picnic there. After we had a feed at one tree hill Cornwall Park we played some more at the park. My mum and aunty just left us to play until we were tired then we returned home.

 I had a very fantastic Friday.

Hakula under 9's tournament

Hakula under 9's tournament

On Saturday Vili and I had a tournament. It was at Mangere. We missed our first game but came after the game, they said they lost to the Maori team. They said that we were lucky to miss the first game. our manager gave our uniforms to Vili and I. we had to change where they just finished there game. but we had spare change under our Uniforms. The second game was half an hour away. I was just chilling and talking to one of my friends in our hakula team his name is Mia. After twenty minutes we had to train for our next game. We versed Niue, and my best friend from my club's was in that team his name is Shemanly. when we versed them I remembered that around January and February. It was for Rippa rugby, I saw Shemanly there playing for Niue. After the game, the score was Niue 28 and Tonga 24. I felt unlucky. It was still a great game. When I came back my twelve-years-old brother was at how the Niuean team won but I said it was still a great game. He said we get it and I said nice because he always says that it's annoying. Our second to last game was twenty minutes away, and I didn't quite hear the coach say it was twenty minutes away. I didn't hear him because I just couldn't eating the chocolate Maltesers, they were just too delicious. We had to train for our second to last game. We had to verse the Maori team. The said they where one of the best Maori under 9's in the tornament. They haka was way to long. we won buy two trys and we where so happy that we all ran and kept jumping around because we won against one of the best maori teams. when I came back to the tent my mum was sleeping and my little brother that is two years old is still awake I was thinking what if he got kidnapped or even hurt himself.
