Jonah Lomu was a legendary figure in rugby, best known for his explosive performances during the 1995 Rugby World Cup, which helped bring global attention to the sport. Renowned for his incredible speed, strength, and ability to bulldoze through defenders, Lomu earned a reputation as one of the most feared players in the game. He also made history by becoming the youngest person ever to play for the All Blacks, making his debut at just 19 years old.

onah Lomu died on November 18, 2015, at the age of 40. His death was caused by a heart attack related to a long-standing kidney condition known as nephrotic syndrome. He had been battling this rare and serious kidney disorder since the mid-1990s, which ultimately led to a kidney transplant in 2004. Although he made a brief return to rugby afterward, his health continued to decline over the years. His sudden death came as a shock to the rugby world and fans around the globe.

Jonah Lomu’s journey was marked by significant personal challenges. Born into a working-class Tongan family in a tough neighborhood of South Auckland, he faced poverty and exposure to violence from an early age. Just as he rose to global stardom in rugby, his career was overshadowed by the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome, a severe kidney disease. This illness forced him to endure regular dialysis treatments and ultimately a kidney transplant in 2004. Despite these hardships, Lomu continued to push through, playing rugby and maintaining his public profile, but his battle with health issues was a constant companion until his untimely death in 2015.

Jonah Lomu rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most iconic figures in rugby history. Born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1975, he discovered his talent for athletics early on, excelling in sprinting before transitioning to rugby. His unmatched combination of power and speed saw him dominate the sport, and at just 19 years old, he became the youngest player ever to represent the All Blacks. His electrifying performances, particularly during the 1995 Rugby World Cup, made him a global superstar and helped raise rugby’s international profile. Lomu’s achievements on the field inspired millions, and his legacy as one of the greatest rugby players of all time continues to be celebrated.

Jonah Lomu was widely recognized for his impact on rugby, but he didn’t receive a long list of traditional awards, like some athletes. However, he earned several notable honors and accolades:

✅ Inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame in 2007.
✅ Inducted into the IRB (World Rugby) Hall of Fame in 2011.
✅ Named one of the “IRB Players of the Decade” for the 1990s.
✅ Named BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year in 1995.
✅ Made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) in 2003 for his services to rugby.

While Lomu’s official awards list isn’t extremely long, his legacy is built more on the inspiration he provided and his profound impact on the sport.

R.I.P Jonah Lomu What a legend

Thank you Kat for showing us how to invest our money and to save our money. We appreciate you for coming and for teaching us about money and security features. What I liked was the quiz and the part about investing. We thank you for giving us this opportunity to learn about money. We had so much fun with you. Thank you for teaching us and letting us have the books.

One afternoon, Toutai and Terence were at the library crash studying for a history exam because we hadn’t studied. Then we saw a mysterious book. The book was covered in dust, it had a rope around it to stop it from being opened and an old rusty lock. Toutai lifted the book and out fell a key. We started to read it. Suddenly, the book started to shake, and out burst a bright shining light from the center of the book. We were pulled inside! That’s what happened to me and my friend. 

All I saw was a dark fantasy world with castles and a beautiful view. We found a door then opened it and it led us to another fantasy world. We both looked up then saw a timer. We thought we were dreaming but we weren’t. We thought when the time finished it the place would explode or we would get hypnotised. We had to look for a key to unlock the door. We found the key and unlocked the door. We went to the next level and it looked like a living room. We took a rest on the couches. We gained stamina and looked for the key but it was different. We had to look for all the shapes and put them in a box. 

This level was difficult because it was hidden very well.We found a piece it was a circle this one was easier to find but we had to find 2 more. We found a square and put it into the right pattern. Then we found a triangle under the  couch. The last one was so hard to find. It was in the trees . It was blended in with the stars. I got to the next round it looked easy but it would be difficult. The round I was at  looked liked my old house. I forgot what my old house looked like. It looked like my house but it wasnt my old house. It looked my grandmas house that she lived it wasnt her house. I looked for something to see what the puzzle was. I went inside the house and found a key I thought this level would be easy but it would be extremely hard. I found what the key led to and it was a door. It showed that it was a chess but im not so good at chess. I had to verse a noob. I beat him in chess and reached the next level. The next level was a candy world. The candy world had a melted chocolate river and it was real melted choclate. I grabbed a cup and put it on the choclate river. I drank the choclate and it tasted to good I screamed out ‘YUM!’ the melted choclate was so nice. I got more and proured spinkles on it and put some marshmallows it tasted so good I never wanted to leave. I got a suger rush. This was the last level. I had to find a lever but it was impossible. I realized one spot I haven’t checked. I havn’t checked the chocalate river. I took of my T Shirt and dived in there. I started drinking the melted choclate cause I got distracted until I found the lever.  I pushed the lever down. I got to the real world and Started missing candy world.

One freezing night I was driving to my Grandpa’s  house for thanksgiving. I crashed in a tree then got out of the car with no injuries. I was going there to celebrate thanksgiving and to sleep there. I was just walking with my blanket. It was huge. I saw a truck drive past  then he screamed out ‘HE’S NEAR’. I had lots of questions swirling in my head. Who’s near? Who is that?. I then heard screaming like someone is getting chased by a murder. I’m seeing blood everywhere. It looked like human blood or deer blood. I decided to walk to my grandpa’s house. Then I remembered he called me while I was changing and he said if someone in a truck calls out he’s near don’t go forward go back.

I was walking backwards but the screams were getting louder and louder. I walked forward but the screams were still loud. I was thinking I was in a loop but I wasn’t. The man that was screaming was chasing after me with a butcher knife. My grandpa came in time with his shotgun and shot the guy and we  went back home and had thanksgiving.

One Night I was driving to this party this was an only boys party. It was a dark night and a silent night. There was nobody or that’s what I thought. I crashed in this tree with no injuries but a couple scratches. My car wouldn’t work so I tried to walk to this party but it was 20 minutes away. I kept on hearing noises that sounded like my friend but my friend was already at the party. It was probably 12:00pm It finishes at 2:00am. I kept on hearing my friend’s voice. I couldn’t call him because my Phone broke. Now I know what is calling me A Mimic. I got so scared so I ran Into the Woods. The woods were scary cause I heard someone screaming for help. It was a Skinwalker. I was screaming and running for my life. I was too scared to run forward because iI thought something would grab me and kill me but it didn’t. I saw a trail of blood and crossed the road so I wouldn’t touch the blood. It looked like a crime scene. It looked like someone was shooting a deer or a person  and dragged them. I found this building but the door was locked. I didn’t know what to do because the door was locked. I forgot that  my phone was broken. I was gonna call my friend  or call the police then I remembered my phone broke. I was gonna go to my car but it was too far away.

My friends are Pita and Terence and my name is Toutai.I almost died cause I fainted and hit my head hard. I fainted because I was running too much. I then woke up when I fainted and took a rest because I was out of stamina. When I gained strength I started running again. I finally found a turn then turned left. I was scared of the mimic and the skinwalker was following me. I then remembered that I had a Glock19. I ran as fast as I could to grab it and to shoot the skin walker and the mimic. I finally got to the party and had  the juice cause fizzys

wouldn’t get me in a good mood but the party was nearly over. The party was fun. But I won’t forget that one night how I nearly died.

A Mimic is somthing that acts like a relative and talks to you that tries to trick you. A Skinwalker is somthing that screams for help and tries to kill you.

A guy named Martin went to this school Te aro school. He went to Te aro school to help students grow honey. They wanted honey so they could sell it to make money. Martin was quick to remind the kids that bee-keeping is an ongoing cost. Have you heard about a Langstroth? A Langstroth is like a Bee hive inside a Box. A Varroa mite is a tiny insect that feeds on bee eggs and makes them bleed. Martin would help the kids have their first swarm. Local bee keepers would donate a langstroth. Martin said to harvest about 40 kilograms of honey. The Bees only fly 2 kilometers. If bees go past 2 kilometers they won’t be able to find their way back home and it will be too far for them to go back home.

• Should we still learn Maori in our curriculum? I know we should learn Maori in our curriculum because we could make conversations with fluent Maori people.

• We should learn Maori because it could be practiced and it would make Maori people happy that were talking Maori.

•  Learning Maori will help us  make our own pepeha and communicate to other people.We should learn Maori because we would understand them.

• There’s a guy named David Seymour and he’s trying to take the maori language away.

•  If David Seymour takes the Maori language away then New Zealand will be taken over by David Seymour.

Should Raa Whakanuia be this wednesday um I know it should be this wednesday. Most of us muck around on Fridays and gets things canceled like  last week’s Raa Whakanuia that was very emotional.

I know Raa Whakanuia should be on wednesday because we have an Evolution of fashion and it’s on wednesday and we will  have enough time to finish our fashion and it would be quicker on wednesday.

I believe that Raa Whakanuia should be on wednesday because it could be a good time for our class to spend time together and we could all cooperate with each other. Bad stuff happens on friday like fighting and mucking around and going to the toilets in and out.

Raa Whakanuia means celebrating and celebrating our hard work.Raa whakanuia is a time to celebrate to make this day happy and make Whaea Lorraine happy.
