In this story it also says most of the food they get to eat. They get to eat things like Nachos, Lasagne, Pizza, Thai Curries, Sushi, Meatballs with Spaghetti, and much more.

Book Review: Battle

Name of the Book: Battle
Name of the Author: Maria Samuela
Journal Number: SJ L4 November 2014, pp40-45
My Name: Jedida
Age:11
School: Pt England


                                   :Book Review:
This book is called Battle, and as you might be able to tell from the title,
this book is about a Battle. But this isn’t just any battle, it’s a Dance Battle.


So, I have read this book/story, and I think that it’s a great book/story, and
the author did a great job of writing it. This book is basically about a boy,
who takes his great great grandpa’s medal to a Battle (a dance battle to be
exact) and he is pretty nervous.


But when it comes to his turn, he puts jacket back and… I guess you’ll just
have to read the story to find out what happens next, or what i’m talking
about. I thought that the story was pretty short, but it’s actually pretty long
for a journal story. It’s a couple of pages long.

But anyways, I think that this book can teach some people maybe a couple
of lessons, like listen to your mother..But over all, I think that this book/story
is very good, and I recommend it for you to read. I give this story ⅘ stars.
Feel free to look at other post from me, and look out the next post about
the same story.

Mata i Pusi: Story Review

Story Name: Mata i Pusi
Story By: Sisilia Eteuati
Story Reviewed By: Jedida
Age: 11
School: Pt England School


                                             Mata i Pusi: Story Review
The story that i’m reviewing is about a girl (but we don’t
know her name), she has a Samoan Mum, and a Palangi
Dad. You’ll see how that matters later on in the review. Her
Mum is a lawyer, but we also don’t know what her Dad
works as, she lives with her Mum, Dad, and Nana. Her Nana
is also Samoan.
Having a Palangi Dad, might mean having green eyes,
or light skin for some people. And she has Green eyes,
light brown hair, and light brown skin. So a bit from her
Mum, and a bit from her Dad like some other people.


The name of the story is called Mata i Pusi which means
cat eyes in Samoan, and people tease the main character
in this story because she is bi-racial. So they tease her
because she might look to palangi, or sound too samoan,
and that’s kind of what they tease her about.

Over all, I think that this story can teach you a lot, especially
about bi-racial families, or people. I give this story 4 out of 5
stars, and I also recommend it.
