Percy Spencer
Percy Spencer was born July 9, 1894 in Howland Maine but he was an American inventor.
Percy Spencer created the microwave he was standing in front of a magnetron the power tube the radar set. Feeling a sudden strange sensation Spencer noticed that the chocolate in his pocket started to melt. Then he got an idea maybe it’s another way to cook food, then he went to get some uncooked popcorn and he stood in front of the magnetron and it popped.
From this simple experiment Spencer and Raytheon developed this microwave oven the first microwave was big like a fridge was only in big business where they cook food quickly.
There are a few problems with the microwave you could not brown meat in it or make French fries nice and crunchy the company chefs refuse to cook food in the microwave.
The microwave has gone through a lot of changes. Today most people have to defrost there meat and heat there food quickly

Henry Ford
Henry Ford was a young man who loved tinkering with machines.
He was born on 30th of July on the year 1863, to his beloved parents William Ford and Mary Litogot Ford in Dearborn, Michigan.
Sadly as he was living, his mother had passed away in 1876. In 1879 Ford leaves the family farm and he had shifted to Detroit to work in the city’s machine shops.
In 1876 Ford completes his first car. The vehicle was named Quadricycle. In 1899 he leaves the Edison Illuminating Company and had begun a new career making certain vehicles.
On the year 1908 Henry Ford began making the famous Ford Model T. 1910 was a special year, a year that Ford opened a new factory at Highland Park, of Detroit.
In 1927 production of the Ford Model T had ended. Henry Ford had opened the Edison Institute of Technology a major museum.
Sadly in 1947 Henry Ford had come to the time to die, not with shame but with pride.

Dear Mrs Lologa
I believe we should wear P.E gear when we have fitness and P.E time, because first P.E makes me fit, and I run better in my P.E gear. You don’t see the all blacks playing in church clothes because you can’t run in it properly.
Second P.E gear should be worn because I like the colour blue and when I run it makes me happy. If you go and do P.E in your school uniform you make it dirty.
Third of all it is good to wear P.E because you don’t rip your uniform and don’t make it smelly. When you wear you wear P.E gear you show middle school MANA.P.E gear should be worn because it’s blue and very attractive and I look gangster in it.

Dear Mrs Lologa
I believe that P.E uniform should not be worn because I gee shorts .t too hot and I hate the shorts. Why? It’s not my kind of material I like .I don’t need to wear P.E gear because it looks ugly and it’s the wrong colour and I think you should be able to wear anything you want .
Its better then buying your P.E gear and because it might be to much money for example if its $20 and you have five brothers then that would be $100 and that its very expensive I think spare clothes is better because you can wear anything you want to wear to school for P.E, and saves your parents money.
I believe that we should not wear P.E gear because we don’t need to waste our time doing detention. I believe that we should not wear P.E because we can just spare clothes.

Dear Mrs Lologa
I am writing this letter to you, why we should wear P.E gear for fitness. I believe we should wear P.E gear for
Fitness, so that we don’t get b.o and I don’t want to get smelly uniform because we can sweat lots in our P.E uniform and then take it off.
I think we should wear P.E gear because it makes the boys smell nicer than the girls. And school uniform is way nicer than the P.E gear that’s why I don’t want my school uniform to be dirty.
It’s good to wear P.E gear because I don’t want to sit next to a smelly girl. And I don’t want to walk around the school at morning break. And I don’t want to let our teacher down by wearing school uniform for fitness. P.E ROCKS!!!

Dear Mrs Lologa
I believe P.E gear should not be worn at fitness or any other time. Why? First I don’t like the colour blue, it doesn’t suit me. Second it’s too expensive and lastly it smells.
First I really hate blue it doesn’t suit me. P.E uniform are so ugly look at them, they make me feel like a girl. I want to be a boy not a girl. This feeling cause low self esteem.
Second it’s too expensive. I got 3 brothers and 4 sisters and they’re all going to get a P.E gear, my poor parents can’t afford that. This cause more stress for my family.
Lastly P.E gear should be worn as people don’t wash their P.E gear everyday. They wear it over and over again and it starts to smell. This affects my learning as I can’t work with a smelly shirt.
In conclusion P.E gear should not be worn because the colour is so ugly it makes you feel like a girl and it’s too expensive for my parents and also you wear the same clothes because you will look poor and you will smell.

Recount
Have you ever been a victim of the ocean well I have and im going to tell you all about it.
It all started on the 30th of may at a beach called Kava kava bay it was my god mothers 31st birthday “ Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to Lizzy Happy birthday to you” Yeah lets jump in the water now is all I hear as we finish singing, the little kids had to wait for a bit but the rest of us were allowed to go it was a windy but sunny day the current was a bit harsh but we reckoned that it’ll be fine, We jumped in and started playing around running and jumping diving and having fun until something hit us.
“Smack” right in my face a huge wave hits me I start kicking my legs and waving my arms trying to get up but I couldn’t I didn’t want to give up but I couldn’t I didn’t want to give up I kept kicking my legs as hard as i could but it was to hard I was about to give up but right at that moment I heard a voice calling my name “Angel where are you” I took a deep breathe and started calling “Im over here over here” I started waving my hands in the air then I could feel someone’s hand grab mine and say “don’t worry your going to be ok” I just nodded my head and then these people tied a rope around my waist, My heart was still pounding so hard like the waves hitting the rocks. These people pulled me up on there boat but as soon as they asked for my name I suddenly blacked out. I woke up on shore, my family were surrounding me and a paramedic was looking my leg, I could hear my family crying, I felt my mothers hand holding mine, I hear the paramedic say ‘She stable but with a broken leg like that shes going to need surgery. I black out again and awake in the hospital.
My eyes opened one by one but my sight was a bit blurry. I looked up and could see the ceiling, I turned my head and my mum was sleeping next to me, Her hand in mine but I couldn’t say anything, I just blinked once to get her attention and she opened her eyes gave me a big hug and said ‘Everything is going to be ok’ I hugged her back and cried.
Through all the commotion none of my family died but it left 2 others dead 11 injured and 73 alive and I was thankful to those 3 men who saved me because I believe if they hadn’t found me I would be dead and not know the people I know today.

See us taking humungous bites see some pacific islanders taking interest in other cultures see us amazed in the Tongan people doing a danced called the maululu see all pacific islanders sitting down and drinking a coconut drink.
See your mum spending her money on T-shirts only for me see her giving her money away to her family that’s dancing see me watching my cousins dance see them smiling with glee. See one of my cousins sing his voice is melody to my ears see me trying to hide and not be chosen for around the world.
See me bribing my mom to get me T-shirt saying time to pump up the beat see the pacific islanders unit and sing a sweet melody see me laugh and have a good time listening to some funky beats.

Hot Hot Hot like a volcanoes lava.
You shine so bright inside me you make my smile shine.

Shimmering, scorching sore sun burn from the
Shining hot shimmers sun.
Effulgent sun that glistens on my
Soft brown skin.
The sun is like a big round fire ball that twinkles on my skin.
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!
The sun lights up the whole world.
The sun is my light that beams through
My window every morning.
The sun wakes me up every morning gleaming on my window.
Glistening, Glittering, Gleaming
Sun will always be my friend.

-Pasifika Festival-
When we first met were all trying to fit.
All of us were learning a new song.
All of us were learning how to Siva.
All of us feeling nervous.
All of us struggling to move on.
All of us smelling like fragrance.
Enjoying Life.
Having Pasifika Pride.
Having a Pasifika unity altogether
Coming together as one.
All of us smelling like Samoan oil.
Hairs tied up on a bun.
All of us having beautiful smile on our beautiful faces.
Tasting like sweet mangoes.
Both of us trying to search for a rhythm.
Both of us trying to make up a beat using our hands and leg and the floor.
All of us trying to find time
To To’olunga
To Meke
To Tamule
To Siva
To Taualuga
To Mauluulu
To Powhiri
Within ourselves.

PE GEAR

Monday 15 February, 2010
Dear Mrs Lologa
I believe PE gear should not be worn because first of all, it’s not fashionable, It’s unattractive it makes me look fat. Secondly it’s too expensive for our parents who spent a lot of money on our PE gear. Lastly, blue not my colour, I don’t suit the it, It’s too dark. So I am writing this letter to you now about our PE gear.
Firstly, I believe that PE gear should not be worn because it’s unattractive, unfashionable. It makes me look strange and it doesn’t help lift my self-esteem. I’m at an age where my self-esteem is fragile and needs to be strengthened.
Secondly, it too expensive for our parents who spent a lot of money on our PE gear. I don’t want my parents to spent more money on it and then someone steals it. It very expensive but it can easily get dirty. Come on Mrs Lologa can we wear mufti for PE? There are good reasons so we can wear mufti for PE. Please Mrs Lologa can we not wear PE gear? It’s just another expense for our parents. Money pressure for parents means unhappy families.
Lastly, I don’t smell because I’m not going through puberty and I’m a girl-girls don’t smell. I don’t smell because right after fitness I put on a deodorant. And I don’t suit blue-blues not my colour it’s too dark. Blues unattractive.
In conclusion I believe that PE gear should not be worn because First of all, it’s not fashionable, Second of all, it’s too expensive, Last of all I don’t smell.
Thank you, Very much for your understanding.
Yours Truly

Thank you Letters to Hayden
Dear Hayden
Thank you Hayden for spending your time with us in the Collegiate gym. Thank you for showing us some of your tricks. One of the skills I learnt was how to dribble the ball with my finger tips. Before I used to dribble the ball with my whole hand. This will improve my game.
My favourite game was called shoot and sprint. I like trying to stop the other team from getting home. This game reminded me of Lape. My team lost because we were not too good at shooting properly.
Thank you Hayden for spending your time with us.
