UNIQUE CELEBRATIONS

The topic that I chose was Unique Celebrations I am going to share how me and my family celebrate New years as a Samoan and Tokelau family.


First we all get ready for our annual New year's get together where my mums side and my dad's side meet and have talks about how life is going and how we are thankful for the things we have. Then we usually all go and swim in the pool that we all got for Christmas, it's pretty big so the max in the pool is about 13 or 14 people but we take turns going in and out every 20 minutes.


Then after we all finish swimming one by one we all have showers while the boys do the barbecue. They usually do sausages, pattys, and chicken pieces. After all the kids have been showered we all stay inside and watch TV until the food is ready. When the food is ready and has cooled down a bit more the older kids feed the little kids and then me and the older kids eat.


After all the eating is done then we all run and play outside. We play games like tag, rugby, and sometimes we go to the park just down the road and play there for about 30 minutes.


Usually after we play for a while we get ready to go to church. All of us get into our church clothes, do our hair put on our shoes then we all squeeze into two vans then we go to church. At church we thank the lord for all his blessings and all the amazing things that we have in life. While the church is waiting for 12:00am we play fun and exciting games like charades, hide and seek, and we also get to eat again.

When the clock strikes 12:00am we all write down our new year's resolutions (in Samoan) and then present it to the whole church. The order is always a little kid older kid than a parent. Then we have a sleepover a t the church and then the next day we go back home.


So that is how me and my Family celebrate New years as a Samoan and Tokelauan family. I hope you enjoyed learning about how my family and I celebrate New years.

LETTER TO MRS TAPUKE

Dear Ms Tapuke, 

My name is Jane and I am now in year 7 at Pt england school. I have one older brother and one older sister then I have my one younger brother. My mum is from Tokelau and my dad is from Samoa. Most of my Family were born and raised in Samoa and most of my grandparents were born in Tokelau. My brothers and my sister were all born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand. 

My hobbies are playing sports such as Cricket, Tag, Touch, Netball, and many more. I also love going out with my friends. Their names are Maddison, Oalii, Norah-jade, Sivaenah, and Nina. I also love playing games and hanging out with my pets. I have two cats and a few more strays, two turtles, two fish, and one dog. 

My favorite subject at school is writing because I get to explain stuff in my own way. Also because I like being creative when I write and can make stories up or tell real stories that have happened to me.

I hope you have learnt a bit more about me.

Yours sincerely, Jane. 

ONE OF MY HEROS

My family hero is my Aunty Sieni Manase. Aunty Sieni is my dad’s sister and she is one year younger than my dad. When I was born my dad named me after her and so my aunty’s name Sieni means Jane in samoan. 

My Aunty Sieni is my hero because she is the kindest person I know. Ever since before I was born and still in my mum’s stomach my dad used to tell me that Aunty Sieni couldn’t wait for me to be born and that she used to make nice dinners for my mum so that I could grow big and strong, so she kind of looked after me before she even met me. My Aunty has a big heart and she helps everyone in our family. She loves to do tik tok video clips with me and she always makes time for me and her to go out and have a girls day out. My Aunty Sieni is my hero because she is always there and I love her.
