The local power company stopped the power for 8 hours last Sunday in order to carry out maintenance work on the lines. How did our intrepid young writers cope?
On the day that the power cut Inoka and I sat in my airy room thinking what we should do to day. We went outside thinking blankly about what we could do. We sat on the step out side and we saw some kids playing touch so me and Inoka went down the road and had a game. After the game me and nooks went back up to my house to see if the power was back on but it still wasn’t on. So we sat there for a little while and then nooks goes into the kitchen and then heard the fridge turn on. And then he ran into the room and said that the power was on so we had a quick game and then got a ride up to his house. Then they had a fire going and I said to nooks “We should have gone up to your house - it would have been better!”

It was at 7:45 in the morning when I started to play ps2 with my new game Smack down vs. raw 2008 then ZAP! The power went off then I started swearing in my bed room. So we decided to go to the beach. We went and got some pipi’s and went for a fish and we caught a big snapper then we went home. I don’t know how to live with out any power that mean’s no computer no ps2 no cooking. When the power came on I cooked my lunch. The next morning was normal.

On Sunday it was really boring because I usually make me some breakfast and watch TV. But I couldn’t because there was no power.
So me and my sister went into the garage to play darts. But after awhile it got boring so we went back inside.
Later on we went down to the rugby fields because there was meant to be a family day out because of the power cut. There was meant to be a game of touch and a bouncy castle and sausage sizzle. But there wasn’t. They were playing net ball. But I don’t like net ball and there wasn’t a bouncy castle because it had a hole in it. So I went home and then the power came back on. So everything was back to normal.

During the power cut my two cousins my friend J and I went on the moter bikes for a ride it was exciting. We went for a ride around the beach and up the road later on my uncle was driving around on the truck so he tried to get past us but my cousin J and I were cutting him off on the moter bikes so he couldn’t later that day we all went to see my sister at the bus stop then my cousin T and I were trying to ride my cousin J's moter bike it was a Banshee it was hard and we kept stalling it we started finally after we had finished stalling it we started riding it around after that J wanted to go to the shop so I went with her when we were coming back from the shop we had two big bags of food it was hard holding them because they were almost slipping out of my hands that day was a very exciting day.

Monsters and other things
Here aresome more offerings:
In the 1970s these people were making a bridge in Thailand they were making bridge to go from Thailand to Laos. While they were making the bridge the people saw a big monster then the people jumped off the bridge to catch this dragon the dragon looked like a snake and an eel joined together. After a little while the people had caught the monster the monster was 14.7 meters long and the people were so stupid they ate the dragon and the people that ate it died in a week. 34 people died and 23 lived and the river was called MeKong River.

………………The LEGEND of the Loch Ness MONSTER……………
People say that the monster is real and some say that it is fake me I don’t know .But I am going to find out. There are a lot of storeys about the Loch Ness and so there should be. The man who made a submarine to look like the monster .He took a picture of submarine and sold it to the newspaper and made a lot of money. That was 73 years ago. But I’m talking about now. Some would like to believe in the Loch Ness. Some don’t. But one thing is for sure that the Loch Ness is still a mystery.

Skating
Last week on Wednesday it was half a day. So I went for a skate with my mates. We first went down to the bowl and skated there for awhile. Then we got thirsty so we went down to pak n save to get drink. And round the back were some stairs that we could ollie off. There were five stairs that I had to ollie off and I landed it. Only me and Hayden landed it but when Marlin tried he put a crack on the bottom of his board. So we went back to the bowl and had a little skate there. Then we got thirsty so we went back to pak n save for a drink. We got hungry so we went to van dans for a feed. And then went back to the bowl. I then learnt how to get air out of the bowl. And I started to get higher air than Evi he started to get jealous. So after my skate I went home.

My last day at Kaitaia College is next Monday on the 5th of November my class and my house group want to throw a farewell lunch but no one remembers so that ok if I don’t get one but for the first time in my life I know I belong some where?

World Cup
In case you did not know, the Ruby World Cup has been played in the last month.
Most of the class were supporting the All Blacks.
Mr Bryan is from England .... it was all going end in tears for at least some of us.
We wrote about some of the early games:
The first team that All blacks played was against Italy and we smash them 76-14. And the next team that we are playing is Portugal and I think the score will be 50-7 so they are in for a hell of a day. I think that the all blacks could have done better but they didn’t want to make the Italians look like fools. The good thing about New Zealand’s pool is that we will make it to the finals no sweat. And I know that we will win the cup and bring it back to where it belongs.

The All Blacks first game was against Italy and it was a great win. The score was 76/14. And they were all great tries. The first two tries were from Captain Richie Mc Caw and it was in the first seven minutes. The next try was from Dougy Howlett in the corner set up by the backs. He scored another two after that. The centre Mils Mulieiena scored a try right under the post set up by Daniel Carter with a chip over the Italians heads. And there were a lot more after that. The next team for the All Blacks to beat are Portugal on the 15th of September and I think the score will be 92/10 to the All Blacks

Fun Run
We have not put anything on the blog for a while, so it is time to give our many readers something new to read.
Last Thursday was the annual Kaitaia College Fun Run, where .... let SM tell you how it works:
Today I came to school. I went to house group and the teacher said that I had to do the run I was #1. So I had to run up the hill. When I started I was full of nerves. When It was time to start all the seniors boosted up the hill I was at the back of the pack when I got to the top I was so puffed out then I got on the bus and the bus was packed! Then I caught the bus back to school and I was still tired and now I am sitting typing on the computer.
_________________________________________________________________
In the past few days I have been at my auntie’s and Cousin O it was fun because it is better than at my house. I played the x box and computer on the computer I played age of empires conquers. I helped around the house. Also on age of empires the conquers I had 3 ally’s and I was against 4 other enemies and the enemy’s came over to my base and killed all my units and warriors. I only had 1 female villager and so while my base was being attacked I fled over to my ally’s base and build another town centre and so I made a huge army and killed all the other teams. I am victorious!!!!!!!!!

A movie I saw recently was Undisputed 2
It was about this man who was in prison. And he was the champion fighter. And he was really good. And no one could beat him. So they framed this man his name was chambers he was the world champion fighter so he could go to prison and fight him. And so when they meet they were eyeing each other up, and they started to have a little fight but then the guards came and broke it up. The boss of the prison said that you can only fight in the ring but Chambers didn’t want to. So the man that framed chambers said that if you fight he would let him free. So he took the deal. And started to train. Everyone was making their bets. So the fight had started and it was pretty close but then Chambers started to wake up and then knocked out his opponent so Chambers won and he got let free.

Music and Talentquest
Last week it was very quiet in the grounds of the College at lunch-time. Not because it was the holidays, nor because of an illness that had struck down 90% of the pupils. The reason was Talentquest. Let WI explain:
TALENT QUEST
The last couple of days I went to the talent quest. There were a lot of performers singing, dancing acting instrumental bands and a lot more. They were all great. But there were only a few that I really liked. That was the dances and the singers. If I was up there I would get my skateboard and start doing some real cool moves. I would kickflip, varial kickflip get out some grinds and start board sliding and 50 50s, and then I would finish off by ollying off the stage. But I get stage fright so I wouldn’t be able to do my moves because I’ll be too nervous.
Music
My favourite music/ group is hip hop because they have some cool moves when their dancing and they are good at singing I also like this music because
it’s the sort of music my Friends, Family and I like listening to.The only things my Family doesn’t like in hip hop is all the swearing in it but we still listen to it especially reggae.

Mr H: “Are you alright? Sorry about that”
JC: “It’s alright! Where were you going to in a rush?”
Mr H: “ I was going to the skate park. would you like to come too and maybe I could show you a few moves if you like Jc” sorry I don’t think I’ll be able to make it
