Brotherly Love

Brotherly Love- My Favourite Scene.

My favorite scene in Brotherly Love is when Sergio makes his team win in the NBA finals and his big brother June comes over to congratulate him on his win.

His sister Jackie also runs over to hug him because of how proud he made his town and also his family, his mum even knew about it and she wasn’t there. After his big game they went over to a graduation party. Sergio, Sean and his other friend go over to rob this big house in the ‘Hills’ (That’s what they call it.) Sean and Sergs other friend got caught by the police when they were carrying T.V’s in to their car.

After the other cop arrested Sean and his other friend, he goes into the room where Sergio was and search’s it. He see’s Sergio lying on the floor with his hands up, “It’s all clear” The officer said. Serg was lucky because the officer thought that he was living in that house.

Botanic Garden Exploration

Today Our whole school went on our trip to the Botanic Gardens In Manurewa. Once every class hopped off the buses, the teachers took their class to go and explore the different plants that were there. My class (Room 11) went to the Edible Garden first and we checked out some vegetables that we didn't even know about. After a 10 minute walk around the edible garden, we moved on to the Threatened Native Plants. My class just found out some plants that are almost gone because of us humans. We walked around and saw a lot of other plants that were interesting. The last spot we visited was the Rock Garden which look like a nice spot for everyone to relax at while you can look over the water to see some nice ducks swimming in the water. Once We Finished looking at that, we had to look at the Edible Garden again because of some of the attitude that was happening.

Boxing In The Olympics

The best part that I liked in my story of being in the Olympics is when I did my combo on Manny Paquiao and he fell to the floor, and when I did my triple power punch to his face. But the thing I liked the most was when I won, when I celebrated it with my family and also when Paquiao said that I was the best Boxer that he has ever faced at the Olympic Games.
