Speech - Music and Me

Petra-Rose 15/9/2014

Music and me

Ko Aoraki te maunga

Ko Waimarikiriki te awa

Ko Waitaha te waka

Kei Otautahi ahau whanau ei

Ko Ofakiloma toku papa

Ko Tongatapu tona turangawaewae

Ko Jeannie toku mama

Ko Rarotonga tona turangawaewae

Ko Petra-Rose Reitumanava ahau

How was I introduced to music?  Well I’m certain my mother must’ve sung to me while I was in her womb.  Can I add if you hear her sing - boy! you need to have earplugs - because she won’t even get auditioned by NZ idol or X-Factor.

I enjoy singing - in fact I sing better in the shower, and judge mum will say “get out of the shower - there will be no more hot water for the rest of us” - To this day, now that I’m ten she still sings that same chorus “get out of the shower!”.  I’m seriously thinking of writing a song about her abuse of me when I’m in the shower.  

Singing in the The Christchurch MUSE Music Trust Community Choir was very satisfying, you don’t have to be a professional singer to be in the choir.  The MUSE motto is “Bringing music to the heart of the Community”.  It was a wonderful experience of learning songs of different cultures and being surrounded mostly with palangi’s who appreciate and respect foreign cultures.

I wake up to a tune and I would hum or sing it.  I’m learning piano and ukulele.  My Rarotongan whanau are musical but only display their musical talents at certain events.   My Tongan whanau here in Auckland are very musical but the opposite - they openly and regularly share their musical skills all the time.  

At home I hear southern gospel, rhythm & blues, soul, motown, ballads and rock but hardly any island music.   

When my mum sings, I smile because she’s off-tune but she’s very funny at imitating other singers.  For example, when I used to fly up to Auckland from Christchurch or Wellington on my own, Mum would call and sing Stevie Wonder “I just called to say I love you, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart”

My mother usually would sing me a lullaby to rock-me-to-sleep “Moe moe ra e taku pepe”  the Rarotonga  version of “Rock-a-bye-baby.   I always sing “Moe moe e taku pepe” to my kitten to rock him to sleep.

We all have different taste in music and I’m blessed to be surrounded by people that enjoys a wide variety of music which have added to my love of music. 

Thank You and God Bless

My mum is the most

and loving person in the world

If my Mum is in church and I have to do the reading she supports me and I will be brave.

My Mum makes me laugh and she thinks that I am funny when I do some of the laughing samoan jokes. My Mum's favorite colour is brown, black, gray and red but her most favorite colour is brown.

My Mum is like a dragon when she is angry when children, like my cousins, don’t clean up their mess and she has to do the cleaning all by herself. When I see her clean up the big mess I tell her to stop and I go and tell my cousins to clean up their own mess before they go outside.

Film Festival term 4 2013

On Wednesday night I walked to Sylvia Park with Maxine, Melesini,Taiwan and my cousin. I got there early and I was happy because I didn’t want to miss out the movies. I went inside and I saw Alecia and Patrick and Faleaka there, I said “Hi”. When it was open everyone had to show their ticket so they could get in. After that I asked my cousin to get me popcorn and he went and bought me popcorn. When we got in I shouted “HI SAM, HI MRS TUI”,  it was noisy. When it got dark the movies were about to start. When the movie started I saw Alecia and Patrick on stage. I laughed at the funny ones and when it came to the Maori movie I got sleepy. Some movies were funny and some movies were cool.

At the movie I was happy and my favorite movie was the Magic Teacher.

Squash

After tea time Miss G told Room 3 that we were going to Squash in the school hall. When we were in the hall and there were two persons, they introduced themselves one man was Phil and another man was Michael. What we did then was we folded our hands and listened to the rules.

Then Phil halfed Room 3 in a group and we did the skills first and the anothers did the real wall it  was fun I saw new tricks when we finish all the skills we try the skills so we got sweaty.

After the skills our group went to Michael now the other group went to Phil and we have to take turns and when the loser wins the serve and when the loser lose they have to give the racket to them.

Seuati, Rachel, Miss G, Ezra and Patrick kept on winning. I tried my best to play squash and Room three had their own fun.

Some information about squash    

1. The two top players in 2013 is number one woman is Nical David  from Malaysia

number one man is Ramy Ashour from Egypt.

2. Squash players wear glasses to protect their eyes and the band on their forehead so the sweat can be sucked up the band and a  t - shirt and pant for the men and t - shirt and the scarf is for the women.

3. The real court is three times bigger than the one we were playing on.

Duffy Recount

YAY THE DUFFY THEATRE IS HERE!!!! After morning tea Saint Pius School went in the hall. Three people came to Saint Pius and introduced themselves. We did the Samoan slap game, it was so fun.  They were going to do a show for us called Duffy Loses his Words. In the play there was a story all about Duffy losing his words. In Duffy’s dream this man was trying to steal all the words from Duffy’s brain. Suddenly his mum shouted “Duffy wake up got and give the rubbish to the man and take your toys in the room also get ready for school”, then Afi came.  Duffy was wearing the wrong t-shirt.

Vautrin came because Duffy and Afi said Voter's name three times.

Then he came, when Afi rimed the words Valtra  will sneeze so they did a quiz but Duffy did the words in morei so he won he got his words back so that the end the end of the story I hope you enjoy my story about the Duffy theatre.

My favourite part of was the clapping games and I can not wait for the another Duffy theatre. :)

    

   

My trip to Australia

On Thursday I woke up in 3 o‘clock for the plane, I packed my stuff, went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and went to change my clothes and say goodbye to my grandma, grandpa, uncle and cousin. Me, my cousin and my aunt went to my aunts house and picked her up and we all went to the airport.

When we were at the airport we went up stairs and had breakfast. I was sleepy because I woke up too early. What I did was sit down and waited for my aunt to bring the McDonald’s for breakfast. I had a kiwi breakfast.

After we ate the kiwi breakfast we went to do the passport and bag stuff. When we did that my aunt asked if we wanted to go toilet so we went to the toilet. Three of us went to the waiting room for the plane to come at 7 o’clock, that took a long time. While we waited I was writing in my piano book because I have my lesson every Wednesday. Aunt was asleep but she woke up because the women said the plane was there so we went in line to scan the tickets to Australia and went in the plane. We fastened our seat belts and it took three hours to get to Australia, but in Australia we traveled to the Gold Coast.

Maths Reflection

What I think about maths is it is fun because it gives you understanding of numbers. When I pactise my basic facts I learn better and better. At school we use Xtramath, it is a basic facts programme.

In Xtramath it does add, takeaway, Times table and division. What I did in maths today was Maths whizz. In Math whizz I was doing Take away practise. I had to type my answer, what I did was (965 - 100 = ……. the answer was 865). It was fun with math whizz, it was great in maths.

Saint Pius X Feast Day

On Saint Pius X feast day it was a beautiful morning with the wonderful sunshine on friday the 23d August.

There was a whole school mass and we all lined up and walked inside the church. The whole school mass kneeled down and did the sign of the cross. We sat down on the seats with the teachers watching us in church if we talked to a person and so the students were quiet in the church. At church the whole school saw father wearing Green for Ordinary Time in the Liturgical Calendar. We sang a song when we started church and he greeted the students and teachers. After when he had done the gospel Father said “The Gospel of the lord”, then the students and teachers sat down on the chairs. After that finally it was the blessing and once the whole school mass finished we went to the concert in the hall. When the bell rang Room 3 lined up to go to the hall to celebrate Saint Pius  X feast day. The whole school went into the hall and sat down on the floor and were self contolled and behaved ourselves. After that the whole school sang “Happy birthday to Saint Pius X feast day” the helpers: Maxine, Geneveive, Melesane, Latanoa, and Justin gave out the cake to everyone. After that we ate the cake it was delicious and amazing. When we finished the cake Justin came round to the children and put their paper tower in the rubbish bin and the whole school walked to their classrooms and did Maths.

Cross Country

On a bright, sunny afternoon I was not racing for the Cross Country because of my cough. Mrs Williams said “can you help me to see who is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th and what house they are in?”. I replyed to Mrs Williams “yes I will”. The senior students in room 7 were racing, they were told to jog so they didn’t lose their  energy. Miss G said “ready, steady, go”. Then the room 7 students went jogging and Miss G brought room 6 out of the courts. Miss G said “Ready, Steady, Go”. When Miss G said  to Room 3 where to go  they went to start the race and Miss G said “Ready, Steady, Go” and Room 3 start running along. After that Mrs Williams and I were waiting  for them. Then one of the girls was the first one of the Room 6 students.then some of the room 7, Room 6 and Room 3 was jogging up quickly. I told them to go to Mrs William. Mrs Williams said“how old a you. what house a you in” a person said I am 12 and I am in Tuis after that another person I am 13”, I said “13 year olds are finished so you so can go”. all of the students came back and I told them to go to Mrs Williams to say how old they are and what house they were in Tuis, Kiwis, Geckos or Keas. All of the students went to Mrs Williams ask them two questions. Mrs Williams told them to go to the courts when she 13 was finish with them.
