kapa haka blog

 on the sixteenth of november we had kapa haka,the hole of the school did it in separate groups and all of them were recorded in the hall but all were different songs...

etu!we stood up and started to sing our first song u tai na mai na waka.. after about a minute of singing we started our haka,a u tai na mai na ma hi!a u tai na mai na ma hi! my chest is throbbing from the pain of me slapping my chest furiously.

stomp!stomp!stomp!stomp!as we look left and right like warriors marching forward we sing some more of our haka until we finish we sing our last song and celebrate 

as I high five friends I feel glad and happy with my self.but i still can't wait for the embarrassment of the video

ilminster green team play

FIRSTLY

we sat down and the first characters they were three cray fish one called nanny koura, moko(the grandson) and his brother, and a kina.they were telling the nanny's story to the young koura(cray fish)as they went to hit the hay.But the n one of the moko asked for one more story kina said they can hear how kina got there spikes but nanny said no until she said they could listen to how she saved earth from the aliens.and that's how it all started

secondly

the first sat down but the second koura was gone (probably to fill in for another character),and then it started.she first said that she yous't to be popular and she made friends at the skatepark and they littered a lot until aliens came down and started dumping lots of heavy and toxic trash in their bowl and also a working robot that they had only used for a month so they threw it away two, until they found it and got upset when they tried moving the rubbish but then it electrified them and they all became very sceptical of the rubish until...

NEXT

the robot stood up and started saying things, and also he is scared of the word recycle so that helps a lot.they asked the robot to call the aliens so they could take their rubbish back. so when they called they the first thing that went on was baby shark,and then big and chunky and then cocomellon and finally dora the explorer and the rad skater boys were dancing to it until they finally came down and declared that they would not take it and put more trash.

finally

they called them once more and they finally took the rubbish and they learnt there lesson.

enviro day

 Tuesday,28th of september.

Bang! the door of the class shuts, me and kobi run to the hall for powhiri, we hear the faint sound of singing we think were late, "whew" I say there just rehearsing for the songs i jump into he front row and join in,(for the purpose of the actual story i am going to cut it short)in short we sung the three songs let the visitors talk we walk into class line up and start walking.

Clank, the gate swings open and hits the thick wooden post, woah I slip on the slippery mud and walk down the slope.When we get down there we start walking through the stream to the other side when it came to my turn I see a vertical plank i walk a cross and leap to the other side of the stream as i walk up the hill i hear a splash followed by a tsunami of laughs and cheers,i turn around tre was in the river scrambling out with is soaked figure of laughs.Five minutes later rio tried to throw lola's bag over when it hit her leg and lost momentum making it fall in the awa.

Squalch!?! I step in to the deep never ending colour of brown I try to take my shoe out unfortunately it got stuck. And then my shoe became so heavy from this clay that I went from one of the front people to the very back.Ten minutes later we made it to our resting place under the purere tree.After we finished eating we lined up and kept walking.I yawn, i'm tired I muttered as i walk the people beside me are talking about tennis I ignore them.Finally we arrive at the end I take a glance at my shoe's and think to my self hello washing machine.

mangaone time art

 This week and last week we have been starting a art project that we call mangaone time art, First we had to split the paper into three parts(past, present, future).It is so much fun having the choice of what the future should look like to us and drawing the present and past as we want.I have a big kowhai going across the front of the page with a big bright tui that stays the same in all sections.Over all it's so much fun and i think we should do more art like this. 

cross country (this time not practise)

 hi my name is louie and today on wednesday 15-9 we had our official 2k run full of stitches and crampes, ankle twists and tumbles so join me on my epic post(by the way its not that epic) 

bang! i close the door of the car and start bouncing my hand ball as i slowly pace to the class my heart beating one million beats a second i see kobi,I arrive at the class put our bags down and head to the court to play with the ball we find it hard to play because there is a game of line tag happening on the court two so we decide to go on the other court a.k.a the handball court I don't know why we didn't go there in the first but anyway, we were there for about 25 seconds minus 24 seconds until we got bombarded of kids who thought we were playing dodgeball, 2 minutes later we were summoned back to class by the bell.

I feel nervous as i line up, the other kids are so loud I block my ears as if they were elephants and i was the tiny mouse.We start walking down the deck and onto the flat grey concrete.Finally we arrive at the course, the yr6 girls line up in a orderly fashion and the yr6 boys made the messiest line they can, ready! set! go!!! we all sprint to the first bollards it reminds me of how neko tripped on them when he tried jumping them,"not gonna make that mistake" i say to my self i run past the second pair of bollards and find my self  behind oscar joe, oh no i'm in the field of view for the spectators(the other kids, we are in level two) as time go's on i find my self going past three more bollards, I finish the first lap another lap goes on and i cross the finish line right behind kobi.

i come some where in between 5th and 10th, i'm happy but even more happy for the ice cream we get later.

te tapuae o rongokako,marine reserve snorkling trip 2019

Once upon a time my class went to te tapuae o rongokako marine reserve to have a snorkle.it's a beautful place i recomend you going someday.Anyway let's get on with the story,it all started one sunny day at wainui beach school,"amber can you open the door and tell the parents to come in now"said koka rozie,"yup"amber said,"parents you all have to come in rite now!"said amber (parents chuckled about ambers rude ness) the teacher told us whos cars we go in,i went in jacksons wilsons car it took about 10-15 minutes to get there.



when we got out of the car we walked on the rough stoney gravel it felt like too me when we got onto the grass we met joe emma and willow (willow is emma's baby)(emma and joe  for a matter of a fact are actully brother are sister).They told us about the equitment and hand signals(at the bottom of the page there will be some pictures of the hand signals and some information about the signals and information about the aquitment). 
Next we got into our wetsuits we had to have long wetsuits so we won't get cold for quite a while,if you didn't have long wet suit or no wetsuit at all you had to borrow a wetsuit once we got our wet suit on we had to get our snorklel and flippers on if we didn't have a snorkel or flippers or both we had to pay $six dollars.



after that we took off our flippers and started walking down to the beach we had to turn left to find clear enough water to snorkel.my group was:finn neve me(of course) and silkie our parent,neve and finn left like strait away to the beach so it was just me and silkie we had so much fun we saw:kina poa crayfish

google meets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this week as you may know we are in lockdown 2.0 so this means we need to use google meets and to a google meet there is a good side and a bad side, the good side is that we have the capability to call 49 people at max at a time anywhere any how and the bad side is there's no way to physically ask and talk to a mate about what your supposed to do instead you have to either type and by the time your finished typing there on a new subject or you un mute and the teacher doesn't here you so you end up being in a big pickle.

I like google meets not like like but just like, as I told you in the last paragraph there are ups and downs or evens and odds if you will and i think it's pretty unique that a 10 year old like me can experience things like this for the very first time in the history of the world.Jesse when you put it that way that's real cool so in short see yah.

oh i forgot the backgrounds don't use the backrounds!!!!!

the end.
