The Tigers Shock Win

After the West Tigers had lost their game against the Titans the Tigers season was all over. Even though they lost - they still had one more game to play and it was against .....THE BULLDOGS!! I was wondering if they were going to lose this match - making it three losses in a row!! But the West Tigers knew they had to go out there and finish their season in style. So they went out there feeling that they deserve to play finals footy.

One of the West Tigers favourite sons Dene Halutau was playing his last game for the Tigers (He's heading off to the Bulldogs). The Tigers gave him a good try which is something he will surely remember. One of the Legends of the game that is still playin now is Hazem El Masri. He didn't have an awesome game - it was averege for the point scoring machine. The score 34-12. The West Tigers will try to get better in the off season and work on their awesome attacking style. WATCH OUT FOR THE WEST TIGERS IN 2010!!!!

My Day With The Legendary RUBEN WIKI!!!

Last Year in 2008 Point England Primary School won the Auckland Rugby League competition for Primary Schools. We won the over 45kg section. As part of winning this competition we won a Hubbards Breakfast. This breakfast happened today!!

MAN!! What an awesome day! Today Point England Primary School was visited by the Auckland Rugby League Development,the Auckland Police and one of the BEST Kiwi in the history of Rugby League...he has played 312 games...guess who it is......RUBEN WIKI!!! Everybody was so excited when they heard the news that RUBEN WIKI was coming to our school! The other cool thing about this day was that we had a Hubbard's breakfast with the legend too! While we were eating breakfast we saw clips of Ruben when he was still playing Rugby League, he looked amazing in his League days but I'm not saying that he isn't good now!! He's still super!

After that we had some training drills with the Auckland Rugby League,the Police and of course RUBEN WIKI!! First of all we were split into three groups,then we were taken to one activity each. First I started with Jerry Seuseu (ex-Warrior, Kiwi) from the Auckland Rugby League association. My second station was with Keith who visited our school earlier this year with the Rugby League World Cup. My third and final station was with Ruben Wiki!! All three stations covered basics skill when you play Rugby League the whole time the police offices were helping out with activities too!

Our final game was a game by the name of ''Bullrush'' It is a game when some people stay in the middle of the field,some people are behind a line,after that one of the people in the middle will say ''Bullrush!!'' Then the people behind a line would try to get past the people who are in the middle without getting touched or tackled - it was fun watching the police running in their full uniforms!

After a while there were a few people left Jerry called out ''Bullrush!'' I ran into the biggest gap I could, I thought I was going to be safe but no I was wrong - straight ahead was a Policeman. I was frightened I tried to step him, he reached with a ball I jumped in the air and he had just missed me. He still hadn't given up yet, he was chasing me down the sideline. I said to him ''Laters!!'' I sprinted as hard as I could - the policeman had his serious face on as if he was chasing a real criminal! I dived over the line like Israel Folau just before the Policeman - what a day!!

I had the honour of thanking all the people who made today possible.

Thanks to Ruben Wiki you are truly a legend, I am very blessed to have had this day with you.

Thanks to Hubbards for all the yummy cereal, milk and fruit. My favourite cereal was Big Bugs in Mud! Delicious.

Thanks to ARL for our drills, the world cup and organising this for us. You have done a great job.

Our local Police officers - I'm glad that you came along and helped with the activities.

Last but not least thanks Miss Va'afusuaga for making this possible. None of this would of happened without you!!

Camp Aratika

Last week on March 18th Point England had there 19th year five and six camp. It was a totally awesome THREE day camp that's right THREE day camp. We had a bucket full of fun. We went Rock climbing,Tenpin bowling,Orienteering and lots more other cool places!!

Of course my favourite activity was Rock climbing because there was one wall that was a Jungle type and the cool thing about it is that you were able to walk across parts!! People think it is FREAKY but once you walk over the bridge you feel like it is easier to walk.

We also had heaps of fun Orienteering. Orienteering is when you travel using directions from a compass. We team up with a partner, using the compass - it leads you to a yellow card which has a letter on it and gives you the next clue to find the next letter. We also had our concert night which was totally awesome. Our teams (groups)came up with items to introduce their group.

And thats what I call one totally awesome camp!!!

OLYMPASIFIKA

Our school Point England are having a production night and we call it OLYMPASIFIKA! It's a big word and it's a night when we all go in to groups of our own Cultures and we perform and do all sorts of things that they do as part of an Island. I am part of the Samoan group and the teacher of the group is my mother and her name is Andrea. She is the ICT teacher. There are many other Culture groups Asian Pacific, Tongan, Cook Island and the Niuean group . All of our parents are coming to watch us perform and do cool things. THIS NIGHT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!!!
