As soon as the bell rang Rawiri, who couldn’t wait to read his new comic book, raced out the door. When he got home, he found to his surprise a police car parked in the driveway. Rawiri’s mother, who had been out shopping had arrived home to find the bathroom window smashed and many of their belongings missing.  Their house had been burgled, Rawiri couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the state of his room,  his comic books which he’d left neatly stacked were scattered all over the floor.  His piggy bank in which he’d put most of his pocket money had been smashed and left lying in pieces on the floor.  But the worst thing of all was that his rugby ball the one signed by Jonah Lomu was gone, Rawiri sat down and cried.

Polyfest

In the polyfest, the three things that I liked about polyfest was the Cultural stages. My favourite of them all are the Samoan stage. Simply because of my culture.

My second thing I like about Polyfest is..... the food. At polyfest there are over 20 stalls of food at polyfest. My favourite of them all are the pineapple ice cream and the chopsuey.

Last thing is the family. I really like polyfest because its a place where families have fun and enjoy the dances.
