Mele's Recount

It was a bright early morning with the birds chirping, butterflies fluttering, sunny and clear skies. Everything sounded mysterious and yet peaceful. Inside was a whole different story. It was like a bomb waiting to blow up. Girls here, girls there, girls everywhere. It was like a traffic jam. Luckily I was ready. It was 11:00 am and it was time to go to my cousin’s wedding.

As we hopped inside the limo my heart was pounding like a horse. Then we arrived at our destination. We jumped out of the limo. Unfortunately I had to stand in front and lead the bridesmaids, I was so nervous. As we stood in line outside the door our white dresses shimmered in the sunlight.

The song played, I walked to the beat and smiled like a crazy girl. Everyone was looking at me. It was like a crowd that came to watch rugby. We stood on the stage awaiting the bride. All eyes were on us. My aunty was encouraging us to smile and be happy on the day of my cousin’s wedding. Soon the bride was being escorted in by her father. They walked in elegantly hand in hand and her father put her daughter next to her waiting husband. The bride was so beautiful. She had a long while dress with a tiara on her head, she looked like a princess.

The priest began with a prayer and told them what marriage was about and as soon as that was over they said there vowels When they both said “I do”, it was a very touching moment. People cried tears of joy.

This was the time we had to walk out with my partner. Firstly the flower girls led the way. Next the new couple walked the in aisle. As I held my partner’s hand, I was as nervous as hell. But I was proud of myself and grateful that I was one of the bridesmaids too.

As I walked outside I congratulated the new couple. We took a couple of photos. I didn’t want the day to end but it had to. Although I had a lot of fun I will always remember that day!!!

Grandparents Are Great!!!

Mele's Grandparents letter

Dear Mrs Baker

Grandparents Grandparents Gr-an-d-pa-re-nts. I think that my grandparents are the best!! I think they should win the prize.Why? you may ask. Well they're the most loving grandparents I know of. They have faith in people because they will lend a hand to anyone, even a stranger. The kindness they have for their family is like a garden full of roses with a piece of my heart left there for them to find. Their strength is like two strong-hearted lions. Their love for each other is like a cuddly warm delicious marshmallow. Even if Tonga is a country that doesn't really have much money, I will always love them for who they are and I wouldn't want to trade them for the world. I'll love them till the end of time. I hope you like my poem and choose them.

My Loving Grandparents:

Grandparents can give us warmth
That we can't give in return to their embrace,
And little more is needed to bring love.

Than the smile on their face.

They have a supply of precious stories,

Yet they have time to wipe a tear,
Or give us reasons to make us laugh,
They grow more precious through the years.

I believe that God sent us grandparents
As our legacy from above,
To share the moments of our life,
With the ones that we love .

Mathex Acrostic Poem!

Anonymous thinking

Boys and girls running around

Crazy as hell

Dividing problems to equal...?

Extraordinary minds ticking along

Funny faces laughing across the hall

Giggling as they get answers write

Happy faces glooming from side to side

Interesting habits of working as a team

Jogging round the hall

Keeping up the standards

Laughing across the hall like clowns

Moving fast like a cheetah

Nervously waiting for the results

Orderly fashioned work

Problem solving so very easy

Questions getting harder and harder

Reaching for a particular goal

Strategies coming to our mind as we go along

Time ticking past

Unique kids

Very fast thinking

Working as a team

Xtention classes versing each other

Yapping away

Zooming for the next question

Amazing Holiday Highlights!!

Winter Blues

Happy and excited I was as I lay in bed asleep without a sound. It was so warm and comfortable that I didn’t even want to get up! But my lovely mother startled me and I awoke to see that it was raining and windy. I felt like snuggling into bed again but I walked to the kitchen shivering with cold and I made myself sit and eat. A while later my sister and I went roaming through Sylvia Park and it was a lot of fun. I hope the next holiday will be filled with more joy.
