Dear Villagers
This is your chief, I am writing this letter to tell you guys
how I feel about my sons going away and about their behavior.
I feel like my sons are being missed by me, but I feel proud of them
because even though they were making trouble around the village.
They fought 2 most dangerous animals in this village, and now
They live up the sky, next to the milky way, and now they are
Called Coal Sack and Southern Cross but together they are
called Magellanic Clouds. As I am your chief, I’m sorry about
My sons behavior, I know they have been making a lot of
Trouble, but please forgive them.
By Your Chief - Ma’Afu
There was a kid named John, he was a student at Glenbrae School, he took his chromebook home, to do his homework, BUT!!. ONE DAY, he was watching Youtube on his chromebook, then this ad came up, and there was a man that said ‘’ if you press this button right next to me, there will be a big surprise’’, so John thought if he should press it. After he pressed the button she got shrinked into his chromebook, he didn’t know what to do.
When he got inside of his chromebook, there was a man, he said to John, ‘’ Hello there Gentleman, I know you have been shrunk into your chromebook, if you want to get out of here you will have to do a challenge/ Parkour, you have 3 chances, if you don’t complete this parkour challenge, you will be stuck in here forever, so GOOD LUCK’’. John replied ‘’ OK thanks’’, John saw there were 4 levels to complete, he was scared to do it but he had no choice.
The first level was, The floor is lava, he had to jump and stand on objects but try not to miss the object, if he will miss it he will lose a life and he has 5 seconds to jump off that object before it disappears.
So John jumped on Chair, a Bed, a TV stand, a Table and then a Toilet, after he jumped on those objects he completed and finished level 1.
The second level was, The floor is lava again but, he had 3 seconds to jump on and off an object. When he was on level 2, he saw there were different things to jump on, he first jumped on a Ps4, then a Xbox, then a Knife, and then he jumped on a TV but it was so far. He thinked if he should jump it in case he would fall, so he jumped very high and landed on the TV, and completed level 2.
The third level was different, he had to do rock climbing. What was different about that was he had no line to hold him in case he falls, so John looked up and was thinking how am I gonna get up there, if John has to climb up there and press the button to complete level 3. He started climbing, climbing climbing all the way to the top to press the button. When he was almost there, he felt tired and wanted to fall down but said to himself ‘’Don’t give up John’’, so he kept on climbing. When he got to the top he pressed the button and he completed level 3, he was so happy and tried at the same time.
THEN IT WAS LEVEL 4, John had to do parkour on house’s, he had to jump to house’s and try not to fall down. He started jumping and jumping on house’s BUT THEN, when he was jumping on the next house he tripped and almost fell down but he held on for his life, he lifted up himself with all his strength and was able to get back on the house, and start again. When he got up he saw he had to jump 4 for house but he was so tired, he told himself ‘’Never give up’’ so he kept on jumping, when he jumped on his last house he was every, every happy because he made it and completed level 4.
When he was finished with all the levels, the man from before he said ‘’You did it, you made all 4 levels, now you are free to go back home’’,
John replied ‘’Thank you very much’’ so join jumped back out of his chromebook and was back at home safely and happy, so John wrote about his adventure and lived happily ever after.
Today we got to meet our novel author Ta’afuli Andrew Fiu. It was such a big surprise when we saw him because our teacher said someone is coming to our class to talk to us but she didn't tell us who it was, he was talking about his life when he came to New Zealand and how him and his family were poor. He told us that it was very had when he was trying to get money for his family and was hard to get a job because he didn't finished school, so he told us that school is very impotent, he said that when he was 14 he had a heart surgery and he had to stay in hospital for 5 years. He also talked about how many stuff people will say about him because he never finished school but now he is older it still a little bit hard for him but now he can work properly, but it was so nice and grateful to meet him in person.
