Five shinning students

Tama, Moko, Iraia, Nastazia and I are the five students who participated from my class in the Ruapotaka festival. We were the oldest in the group so we carried a lot of responsibility and role modeling for the little kids. We all gave it our best and tried our hardest. We were 1/16 groups performing on stage.

The end!!!!!

Today was the last day of hiphop, yes, I know, unfortunately its nearly the end of the term which means its the end of hip hop. I just want to say thank you to my school coach Issy for teaching us those dances. You have put effort and time into teaching us, we are all grateful to have you here. I wish we had more time with you. It was a pleasure taking classes with you. I hope we made you proud. 

Why now?

So, today I got 87%. I'm kinda going crazy because I only got 85% on my test, but now my basic facts want to improve. I'm still happy with my score. 87% is the highest i've ever gotten on prototec. I think I can do better. I hope I do better and try harder next year.

I am proud to be Maori

I participated in the first ever Ruapotaka cultural Maori festival on the 24th of Nov. We participated in the feastival because we were proud of our culture and wanted to show it. Our group name was Wairereo. We sang songs and also did a haka. I was absolutely proud to be a Maori that day. I was nervous at first to go on stage but I got around to it. All the lunchtime practices paid off.

The leap of faith

Today I played 3 sticks with my good friends Tatia and Paerau. You can play three sticks with, well three sticks and some fellow friends. You have to jump over the three sticks with three leaps, if you touch the sticks or run out of leaps then your eliminated. The last person who jumps over the sticks have to move the last stick they leaped over to where they landed. The last person standing wins.

Etching - Art

About a week ago my class and I made some art called etching. I made this art with paint, paper and a popsicle stick. My theme was old memories because in my memories I had fun times and I wanted to make this art fun. I picked going to the beach and my nans house while taking photos to remember. I had to divide my page into three. Then I had to paint it using different colours if paint in the three divided places, I used orange, red and light green. Once that coat of paint was dried I had to paint another coat on it, that time I used yellow, gold and blue. While the second coat drying I had to draw on it with the popsicle stick.
