Next Generation of AMOUGS US - By Asinate

I know I was turned into a doll at first but man oh god let me tell you that it felt good at first but the shop was like it has not been clean for years it was the most rusty shop I have seen.

  

As I got stares from others I think it was because I was new, well I didn't care at first then I tried to talk but I think no one could hear me. It just kind of backfired. I saw so many people. It was  strange because there was this little boy and I had just seen his ‘missing’ flyer outside the shop. It is the strangest thing. I look around me and there are more people that  I have seen on those ‘missing’ flyer’s.

I could hear people talking. They said something like this ‘’the cops are going to find us you know.” I tried to move but it was hard. Suddenly one foot went in front of the other then I saw a big couch in front of me. I just jumped. I did not care too much. I walked to the small room that they were talking in and all they said was ‘’Mira‘’ at that point I just froze. I think they were talking in spanish because my mum always used to say that to me I don’t even know if she is looking for me?

I tried to talk but I couldn't. Finally words came out and I said “may I ask you why are you doing this?” They replied with “HOW  DID YOU GET HERE.“ I asked them to let me go and I promised not to tell anyone, even though I knew I would tell my family so the other kids can get help too.

Aroha-By Asinate

I got bullied because of the way I act, the way I look and the way I am.I don't like going to school , everyday it is just the same. I walk down the the hall people tease me because of who I am.I talk to myself and ask .How is this  work going to get through life if there are bullies.I try to tell my best friends but they don't listen.

I am on my own trying to treat myself. I don't know who is with me my mum I hope.Maybe I will tell that  that at school I feel hopeless and depressed.The name called and teases are pushing me out.I don't feel like I fit in. I could it  in my mother eye's watery tears coming down her red face. I  had no feelings I was speechless.

It is time to let it go , step up for myself , ignore the haters.  I need to take charge , more powerful . It is time to be calm and peaceful for me and my mother.

                                                Mophead By Selina Tusitala Marsh

Dear  Dairy:

Today I went to the dumb Restorative Justice meeting. I had to meet up with my bully . I wanted to ditch this meeting to be honest . As the time came my hands were wet and sweaty . Then I saw my mum ,I went to her as she was crying I don't know why.I saw the bully to be honest  I did not want to talk to her .  was still mad at her for what she have done to me.I asked my mum where my dad was she replied  "he is not here". I didn't care to be honest and why should I care he never talk's to me . Then the principal called my name and let me tell you I though I was going to die.I told my half of the story and the bully told her half . When I told my half she said I was lying.Everyone know I wasn't The bully apologised and I left the office feeling how I feel at home FREE!

Brother's Love - By Asinate

 In the early morning I could hear birds chirping and the golden sun shining upon my house.Two kids run up and down the neighborhood laughing.I make eggs and Nutri Grain and milk.

Suddenly I saw watery tears coming down a little boy’s  eyes.As I am rushing to see what is happening car by car  pass  me . Sirens going on and off, people running to see what has happened.

I can see his skin clawed and ripped apart. As the little boy’s watery tears come down his face I look to  the side, the mother sobbing and crying for help.

As the little boy was rushed to the hospital his little sister cries as the doors are closed and the ambulance speeds away. To this day the little boy still has his beautiful smile.

A Wink and a Blink-y Asinate

Yesterday, for Drama we began a study on Rapunzel. Instead of reading the story we had to design an article to 10 seconds around different artifacts associated with the fairy tale. The artifacts consisted of: a black cape, bird/next necklace, padlock and key and lastly a crown. Here is the article my group constructed around the artifact our group chose.

 

My Why Poem-By Asinate

Dear Sister Emma -By Asinate

Dear Sister Emma 

Hi Hope you are doing fine. I miss you so much! Ever since the day that you have left it has not been the same.  Hope you and Sam are doing ok up there in Auckland. You would never believe what has HAPPENED...

Our next door neighbour, old woman Jackson, went into the deep forest where there were a lot of big and small green trees. She found 2 kids that were GREEN.!!! 

Old woman Jackson told them to come with her so they are isolating in her house.

I hear that they have other family members but they are all different colours so they felt left out and ran away. I wonder how they ended up in our village?

Please take good care of yourself and Sam up there in Auckland. 

Regards,

Joseph Stagwars

Guilt Station -By Asinte

As the boat is moving side to side  my head hits a box and luggage. People are talking, snoring, walking and sleeping.
Babies are crying. People are shaking full of hunger. Dead rats and cockroaches crawling. As kids hit their head on the hard wooden ground.The kids cry so they can go home, as parents saying to the kids "it is for your own good." People sitting  in dark corners that smell like B.O.

My Memory -Asiate

Tall, long green grass. Big and small rocks...take me back to my memory.

Grandpa telling me to go and look at the giant palm tree. Me saying to my grandpa, “why the tree built like that?” Gigantic trees, enormous big rocks. I felt a mosquito bite and blood dripping from my feet. Birds tweeting into my ear. Long branches in my way, trees that look like Christmas trees. My sister and I collecting rocks big and small. Mud on my shoes.All takes me back.

My First week back at school-By Asnate

             My First week back at school

My first week at school was good. At first when I came to school I wanted to go back home and sleep.When my principal called out my name I was to go to room 8 and my teacher was Ms. George.

She is a nice teacher. First we learned about the Coronations and did some art on our hands. We did some maths too. Also, I was very happy to see my friends. It was fun and cool. My first week at school in room 8 was OK.
