Edit Writing

WALT: Edit writing

There are many places around that is very special to different people. The place I find special to me or my family is church. My family and I have to put church first due to my grandpa which i would explain after. In this writing I would be explaining why I find church special to me.

I find church special because my Grandpa is the minister of our church, since my family go to a Tongan church that make us the Faifekau. My Grandpa has to definitely put church first, he also has to get up early or go overseas for a meeting or a special funeral. He got to do this because he was the first grandchild that was a boy.

Every Sundays My siblings and I have to go in church early due to Sunday school.  Sunday school is special to our church because it teaches me and the other kids about the bible.  Church is a common thing my family goes to or even to other people go to.

Church is always first to my Grandpa, Nana, and my family. Every four years my family rotates to church they are given by his boss which in Tonga they call him the Palestine. People may find church special to them in a different way but in this writing I explained why it is important to me and my family.

A Pacific day out

Yesterday my group and I had fun exploring and watching people perform at the polyfest. Pt England seniors got the privilege to go and explore the polyfest and the manukau sports bowl. Polyfest has a bunch of stall where you can buy stuff but it also has people from different school performing.

One of the highlights would be eating food from our group teacher, Mrs Sio. There was a big amount of island food such as, Cook island donuts, Otai ( fruit drink ), Panikeke and, chop suey and heaps more. The food we ate was very delicious.

My second highlight was watching people perform on stages, We got to watch the Fijian but then we moved on. I also enjoyed watching different kinds of people dancing and people having competitions. The competition had loads of people competing. It had singing, and dancing battles going on, which I found it very interesting.

I think it is important to students because they learn about different cultures around and their traditions and also their language. I also think it’s important because it teaches you more about your own culture and stuff you didn’t know and what you wanted to know more about even different languages.

Going to the polyfest was very fun to go and I think Polyfest would be an awesome trip to go, especially if you're with a group of people. I would like to thank you Parent helpers and teacher for making this happen, I would like to thank you Mrs Sio for buying our group food and drinks.
