Assembly

This week (week 3) it was our assembly. First we sang a Himene called E Io Matua Kore, then 3 of us shared About Me stories in English then in Māori. After that each reading group shared facts about a waka they studied about. Group 1 studied Waka Tētē, Group 2 studied Waka Ama, Group 3 studied Waka Hourua and my group, Group 4 studied Waka Taua. After that we did Ngā Puha, then we interviewed some people that had been in He Kaupapa Waka for awhile, after that we went outside and did waka demonstations.

Free write, Carpool Karaoke

For this week of free writing I am blogging about the carpool karaoke that we did for assembly last friday. In my group it was me, Braxton, Hirini, De'Aundre and Thomas (but Thomas did not come to school.) Our song was You can't hide if you want to check it out, and also if your looking for me I am in the drivers seat wearing a a silver dress in one of them. (: (: The two videos are down below our normal one and our bloopers. But anyways I hope you enjoy.

Assembly

Today it was our assembly and there were 5 items We Will Rock you, a book we made, a dance called Zorba (By the boys), a play (By the girls) and a 12 days of Christmas video (Boys made their own so did girls and our teacher.) I did the Zorba, We Will Rock You, book and 12 days of Christmas. Have a look. First we introduced  ourselves, then we sang the national anthem, then we sang We Will Rock you, then 8 juniors got certificates,  then we read our book, then 6 middles school students got certificates, then the boys did zorba, then 6 seniors got certificates, then the girls did a play, then the teacher gave house points, caught being goods and other notice, then 12 days of Christmas, then class of the week and finally I personally said a goodbye. I liked dancing but it was kind of challenging especially speaking in front of the whole school. My next step is to speak more confidently. I might want to give others chances to shine next time.  Here is the music to the Zorba: Here is our book: Here is the national anthem: Here is our Zorba dance: Here is the some of the girls play: Here is We Will Rock You:

Waiata Koda, Herbert

Hi my name is Koda. My friend Herbert and I sung two waiata. We would like you to hear them.    

Poi

Today we made poi. It was hard to cut the sponge at first, but I got the hang of it. When I was cutting, it was getting boring and my arms were getting sore so I asked Mr Owen to help. I was struggling to put the plastic bag around the sponge but I did it. It was easy to put the string in the hole and also to wrap the string and sellotape around the plastic bag.
