The year 2012 was a year that saw me achieve and fail at many tasks this year. But the thing I am most proud of is my sports, not only in school. I was the school under 55kg and open weight rugby league captain. But sadly in my class work I didn't manage to finish my tasks on time.
Sadly this year I think I have gone dummer. I don't know why when my teacher Ms Squires is one of the brainiest in our school. I really hope that next year in 2013 I hope at the college I go to, I excel in sports and also learning.

The first day of year 8 camp
My legs absolutely ached as I continued to run, although I could’ve walked it. Our year eights had started to take a 3km hike up and down the Ngaruawahia mountain range. Some people even struggled to make it ten metres up the hill. Mind you it was very steep.
“Finally” I screamed as we had finished our 2-3 hour hike. It was time to run down the last little bit of the walk then......”ooohhh”, I had tripped over a rock that was sticking out of the ground but wasn’t visible. Luckily I wasn’t hurt in anyway.
4:30 pm and it was finally free time. Arcade room,mud slide or pool. I ran straight to the pool. It was really fun swimming in the rain splashing around without worrying about getting much things wet. But the real stink let down was that we weren’t allowed to do bombs into the pool.
Our hour of free time was over and then time for showers that everyone was eager to go for. But then sadly the showers we so slow that you could barely feel it running on you. It was a shower so you had to appreciate it. I was back into some dry warm clothes and read to eat dinner.
“Um,Um, Nachos for dinner!” I was very happy to hear that we were having nachos for dinner. My plate was stacked with a lot of different calories and carbs. It contained chips,mince,onions,veges and sauce. Some people looked like they didn’t get fed at home going up for heaps of food. Although our school looked like starving pigs, thanks to ted and the cooks for cooking our food.
“Hahaha” the year eights laugh as the movie Nacho Libre played. Mr Barks and the crew had finally managed to get the sound working. But the had only managed to get it working at about 10.00 p.m so we only watch half of it the slowly went to bed. And like that the camp was quiet. Everyone asleep no sound. And that was the first day done and dusted from my point of view.

Year 7&8 Social
“Wasupp bro, far out you look skuxx” Is what I said when I saw my friend Nezinli. Little did I know that he would, later on in the night win the much talked about dougie contest. The phrase dougie is a dance move where you move your body side to side and shake your arms. It is a very popular move, not only at our school but all around the world.
All night most of us were requesting a song to dance to, It was called “Gangham Styles”.Kids jumped and jumped with craze, as the song played. Even towards the end of the song the students still went hard dancing away until the end of the song.
One thing that I haven’t mentioned, is my group of boys I was with for the night. Me (Kayde), Matthew R, and Matthew T. We call ourselves the three stooges. The reason
for this is that we are best friends and also we all had matching glasses.
All in all I think that this night was a real success, honestly. There was a feed, kids happily dancing and most of all it raised some money for the 2012 year 8 end of year camp. Thank you P.E.S prefects and intermediate staff for organizing this FUN night.

My 2012 Cross Country re-cap
My leg muscles ached, I was physically drained of energy. I nearly gave into the temptation of stopping to walk, but with the little bit of energy I had left I persevered. Suddenly I was hit with this sudden burst of energy, I made a quick sprint burst it was as if I was super-man.
The mud squelched as I ran through mud puddle after mud puddle. I was literally soaked in it. Though, it didn’t stop me then......”BOOM” I had miss placed my foot, I slipped into the ground. In doing so I gave up the lead. Even though it was in the bush walk, a muddy treacherous place, I was still surprised to have fallen.
Crossing the finish line was amazing! I was especially proud of myself because during the race there were times where I could have been lazy and stopped to walk. Luckily my fitness pulled through. Like last year I conquered the bush walk. Sort of like the story of David and Goliath!

Smoking Not our future!
Did you know that up to 90% of deaths from cancers or are caused by smoking.The more people continue to smoke the higher their chances of acquiring cancer. Pictures of the teeth and feet on the smoke packets aren’t to laugh at they are a warning! What most people don’t know is that there are over 4000 chemicals in one smoke, some which are known to cause cancer such as Carbon Monoxide. These chemicals in smokes harden your arteries and this can cause circulation problems sometimes leading to one of your body parts being amputated. My Advice DON’T SMOKE.
“Mum can I have some lollies?” “Sorry but mum’s broke”! This is what people say when up to 105 dollars a week is spent on packets of smokes. That’s approximately $5000 thousand a year if you smoke a pack a day. In future generations this is what your kids could be saying to you. DON’T SMOKE.
Trying to be cool and popular isn't always the wisest thing to do, especially when talking about smoking. Sometimes you need to be strong-minded to stand up to others who are trying to influence you into smoking.
As we stated earlier smoking can increase the risk of disease, it can affect your appearance and waste your money. If you are a kid of the age 11-18 and you are reading this please don’t start! DON’T SMOKE.

Brown Brother - The Amazing Speech!
BROWN BROTHER.....
Joshua Iosefo is a Mt Roskill prefect who was asked to do a speech about his life for polynesians. In his poem he has stated that anyone with faith can graduate and go on with their dream. Dedication, Desire and Determination. These are the three things that polynesians and Maori need to strive to succeed and to believe.
Sometimes people can say negative things, or good things, also people look at the skin colour and think bad about people. These people are called stereotypes. People look at asians and think they can't drive. Is that true?
The message to me was to not limit yourself and to reach for the stars and that you can achieve more than you think you can and that limiting yourself will only make you achieve lower. Then you won’t be able to reach your full potential.

The Avengers!
On the 21st of May 2012 I witnessed one of the most amazing movies in my life! But it can't beat my all time favourite Back To The Future. In this movie it stars marvels, the incredible Hulk,Captain America,Thor,Iron Man and Hawk Eye. It is called marvels The Avengers!
My favourite scene in this movie is when the villain says to Hulk "I am you lord and I will not put up with being bullied!" The Nek Minute Hulk smashes him around not once but about five times. From a scale of one to ten I rate this movie 9.5 out of 10. I hope you watch it some time!
Kiwi Kick Recount!
Sam (samwhich) and a lady called Anita were the tutors who will teach us about kiwi kick. With a bit of experience from last year we weren’t that bad! Last year Sam was also our AFL teacher accompanied with a guy named Abe.
In kiwi kick there is a style of kick called the drop punt. There is a rhyme called laces away from faces. That is the best technique to use for this kick as the ball could drop out your hands, you kick it and it goes straight into your face. And now for a tip. If you attempt this kick the ball as low as you can.
“Got you Kayde” My mate Cruz yelled as he nipped my shirt. I had been tagged meaning that I had to sit on the ground until the person who tagged me was caught. This game was cool but at the same time challenging. But for me it was a piece of cake! Funny enough.
I remember another of the games that we played. We had to drop punt the ball and either hit Sam,Anita or the pole which was about 2 inches wide. But the most challenging thing to kick to was the net. The points were 1 if you hit the tutors, 3 if you hit the pole and 5 if you get in in the net. We had two attempts each. First attempt I scored two points hitting the pole and the second, not so good. But it was still fun!

Picasso and Matisse Comparison
In Henri Matisse’s painting (women with a hat) he has tried to used a new style of art called fauvism. New then but now a days it has been used a lot! In Pablo Picasso’s art work it evokes sadness with his wife crying during the war. Not much people liked it at the time but now it is much famous!
In both of the paintings the artists have used dark outlines and bright backgrounds.The bright colour yellow shades in the background of Pablo Picasso’s weeping woman with a brown coloured nose. Also green comes onto the canvas overrunning her body with a orange hat. Now to Henri Matisse’s lady with a hat. In his painting he has introduced mostly dark outlines on the lady. The background is an expression with a lot of different colours on the wall. Such as green,white, light pink and so on. So what I’m saying is that they are colourful.
Two different perspectives or angles were used in Picasso’s painting as in Henri Matisse’s it is based on one with the body of the woman. As I said earlier this is called cubism. Most of Picasso’s lines are straight and pointy (not detailed at all). In Henri Matisse’s painting it is more realistic and detailed. This is a new type of art called fauvism.

The next Benji Marshall
"The next Benji Marshall they say!" Yes Shaun Johnson has been a mean stepper and has a good whack on him like Kiwis Captain Benji Marshall. And yes both of them are Kiwis. Last year Warriors standoff Shaun Johnson was nominated for rookie of the year award. By purchasing a pack of this years NRL select cards you could get a card called Shaun Johnson rookie standout. And they can also score and make something out of nothing!

Vodafone Warriors vs Brisbane Broncos
30-20 was the final score as the second placed Broncos took on the 12th placed Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland New Zealand. 19,000 tickets were pre sold before the game. That means that with a big crowd, this would be a GREAT game!
"RRRRRRRR" The Whistle blew to signal the beginning of the game. Three minutes had passed and already the Warriors crossed foe their first four pointer, scored by rookie Ben Henry. The Kick peeled over the post making the score 6-0 In favour of the Warriors. Then By the 20 minute mark the visitors (the broncos) were in the lead by 10-6. That was two quick tries to Jack Reed and Alex Glenn. I thought that Jack Reeds was a no try.
12-10 the Warriors were back in the lead with a try to Shaun Johnson. It was a very scrappy try. With about 6 minutes until half time the warriors crossed over again through Elijah Taylor making the score 18-10. In the 38th minute Returning star Jacob Lillyman scored his first try of 2012. Going into half-time the Warriors were leading 24-10.
Ben Te'o the new Rabbits Star crossed over the try line in the 48th minute setting up the game for a grand stand finish. Half an hour of nail biting passed before the game was all but sealed. When Leading off loader Feleti Mateo scored with six minutes until full time at this point the score was 30-16. The Dying stages of the game was upon the teams when Sam Thiday of the Brisbane broncos broke the line and scored a consolation try. It was a great game!
