Shrove Tuesday

This morning, Olivina, from Tonga, came to say thank you St Paul's Catholic School for our contributions of money.
In Tonga, they buy pigs to sell to pay school fees and to buy school books and mullberry trees. Mulberry trees are used to make tapa cloth. They cut the mulberry trees, they skin them, they dry them, they beat them with wooden clubs and they weave them into tapa cloth mats for  the floor and for the table.

The Last Fight

Last Sunday, all of the Skylanders and Kaos were angry so they went to the ultimate wheel of power and.they had last fight.
Chapter 1 The Beginning Spyro and Gill Grunt were sitting on a cliff then Kaos came.
Spyro said, "We have got to warn the Skylanders. Skylanders, Kaos is back to destroy Skylands. Let's go and teach Big Head a little lesson."
Kaos had a remote. He pushed it. The minions jumped on the Skylanders.
"NO!" said Spyro.
Kaos won by destroying the core of light.
Kaos said, "Yay! Me!"

Waitangi Day

Waitangi Day is a national holiday to celebrate when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, and NZ became a nation.
It was signed on the 6th February, 1840. It was signed in Waitangi in the Bay of Islands. 500 Maori chiefs and representatives of the Queen signed the Treaty of Waitangi.
This year, on Waitangi Day, I went skylander hunting and I bought lunch. I had a big mince and cheese pie and I bought Swarm - he’s a bee. I bought Series 2, Chop Chop, Dragon Fire Cannon and Shrome Boom, then I bought Series 2, Zap Scorpion Striker and Hot Dog, then I ate my pie.
