Promise, Faialofa, and I enjoyed learning how to say numbers 1 - 10 in the Chinese Language. We agreed that learning the Chinese Language is fun and we thought at first that it's hard but after a few practices, we didn't find it hard anymore.

Well Done to all of us girls.  Siaosi joined us later at the google meet but tomorrow he will compete against the others on the Chinese Language Kahoot Challenge. 

Watch Out, Mrs. Zhao!



Our experience in learning how to say the fruit names in the Chinese language was pretty easy.  We found out that some of the names of the fruits in the Chinese language are related to how we say them in Tongan and in Samoan languages.

Manaakitanga (We Care for and Respect Others)

   My Pet Dinosaur

Once upon a time, there were twins named Jack and Mable and they had a dinosaur pet named Diny that they found when he was 5-6 years old.


One morning, the twins found out that Diny ran away.  ``Well we have to find where he is going then,´´  Mable suggested. So they planned how to find him and agreed to start early in the morning.


As soon as they woke up in the morning, they hacked just the cameras on the street to see the footsteps of Diny before they tracked the urban legend of the dinosaurs. It appeared in the camera that many came from a black hole and some came from Dino land. 


So the twins knew that Diny came from Dino land and they quickly packed up and went there. While Jack packed up, he had a bad feeling about this because how about the dinosaurs trying to terrace them or eat them. They hopped into their caravan then they went. Two long hours later, they stopped by a gas station to get petrol then they carried on their journey.


In the gas station, they heard that a tiny dinosaur was there early in the morning and he damaged a few things in the store. The owner of the gas station was still devastated because of all the trouble the creature did in his store. We quietly filled up our car and continued with our journey. We knew then that we were going in the right direction.


When we got there, we watched as Diny walked to his family and when he opened the door, his mum was there staring with disgrace at his lost son for the first time. 


Jack and Mable went back home sobbing because they can’t take Diny back home with them.  But they were happy that Diny had finally found his family.

THE END.

   My story

“Saved by the 12-midnight bell”

Once upon a time, there lived an old man in the middle of the forest. 


He was very poor and hungry so he decided to go hunt for food because he was starving. While he was hunting, he saw two birds caught in a net so he went there and helped them get free. They were so happy that they were free. After he saved them he spotted a beautiful house from afar. 


He continued searching for food and headed to the beautiful house with blue glitters on the doorbell and a red diamond that covered a beautiful rainbow dot blue door.  While he was standing there, a young girl came out of the house and said to him with a smile on her face, “Come in, come in!”.  She looked really happy.  And the man said, “Thank you!” and walked into the house.  He went in and asked her for food and water.  


Then the girl went to get him food. But something went wrong because the girl took more than 3 hours to get him food.  Suddenly a big, humongous and enormous snake came in and smashed everything in the house into tiny pieces. The little girl disappeared too. Then he got the poor old man that was sitting on a nice warm chair and told him, “I am going to eat you.  But in one condition, if you don't hear the bell ringing by 12.00 midnight, then I will gobble you.  But if the bell rings, I won't eat you and I will disappear forever”.   


After the snake warned him, he went to take a rest. But before he went for a rest, he tied the old man to a tree and told him, “Remember you can run but you can't hide from me”.  The man was so scared that all he could do was weeping and sobbing continuously.  


When it was 11.49 a small sound that sounded like a bell was ringing, then the snake woke up surprisingly and in a blink of an eye, the snake disappeared forever and the rope that he tied the old man with, vanished too. So the man quickly ran as fast as he could back to his house and he was very thankful that he’s still alive.

Asap Ferg is the hero that can transfer free food by flying around the world. He also has air forces that make him super fast and as well as an aeromobil.  

This Mobil is like a car that can fly and has a boost that makes you go fast without crashing. So it's basically a tesla but even better.

1.What do you enjoy onAero the weekend?

I enjoy going to Barry Curtis Park to go along the tracks and ride our bikes and after biking, we climb the rope tower and race to the top and back down. And next to the tower there is a toddler playset and a pair of swings.


2. What is your favourite place to go?

My favourite place to go is GameOn because the game has cars, dance, music, and fishing games. There are also vending machines too. The candy floss machine gives you one free candy floss if you run out of money on your Gameon credit card. The games you won will earn tickets on your card so if you have tickets, there is a gift shop where you have to pay for tickets instead of money.

This is Marcus when he was reading a book as one of his activities during the lockdown.

Mele gladly did her Gratitude Journal on paper and shared it with Mrs. Fonohema.  Thanks, Mele, and mum 'Ofa for trying your best to send me the works that Mele had completed.
