Kapa Haka 2021 !!

 KAPA HAKA 2021

I rushed through the school gates with my hair blowing through the wind.  I was sad that parents couldn't watch this year ,well only online. I started to grabbed my bodics/ Kapa Haka dress to get changed into. After I was rushed into getting changed and then  I decided to chill because it was only 8:05am. I grabbed a bright yellow feather and my friend Lila put the feather into my half up half down hairstyle. Next Koka Jo but on my moko and black lipstick, then I was ready!      

My hands were rumbling like a volcano about to arup! I had butterflies in my stomach but luckily I knew I was trained well by Koka Jo. I was even more nervous went the flimer said " ACTION." But I knew I would get over it. Our first song was Utaina Mai, and it's one of my favorites. Next was Ka waitia. Then it was the girls poi called Rona. This is the song before the boys do their Haka and it's called Kapanapana. In that song all the girls move to the back and then boys come to the front to do the Haka. It's only called the boys Haka. Our Last and final song is Toia Mai. 

We were finally done. The video had to be edited before people could see it. I wish it didn't have to be edited. I hope you liked hearing about Wainui Beach Schools 2021 Kapa Haka!!  

ILMINSTER GREEN TEAM PLAY

 Ilminster Green Team Play

Can you tell me if you have gone to Ilminster to see there green team play? I can tell you I have, and i'm going to tell you all about it. So as you can tell by the title my class MLH went to Ilminster to watch there play. They were trying to convince us why we should quiet littering. 

 Firstly they told us what the very exciting, convincing play was about. As soon as I found out what the play was about, I was eager to find out more. Wouldn't you be too? They started there play that they had been rehousing from midterm two. Now let's get on with the rest of the play.

They started by the little pawa and the crayfish telling a story to the two little baby crayfish. Soon it was the little baby crayfishes bedtime. But one didn't listen and got one story from the crayfish. The story was about aliens that came from trash planet and trash the earth. And in the end earth was back to being clean. 

Here are some photos. 

     

  

Writing Sample

 Writing Sample

On Monday we did a writing sample on It is not right to fight. You could disagree or agree. I was stuck in the middle so what I mean is, I couldn't decide on what one to write so I did both of them. I ended up doing 6 paragraphs and almost 4 pages. I thought that was really good. What about You?   We also had to try to persuade our reading into agreeing with our decision. 

I hope you liked reading my blog post.   

Finding out what is the type of writing feature

 Finding Out What Is The Type Of Writing Feature 

Today in our reading workshop my group was challenged to complete finding out what kind of feature we had in our book.  My group had a poem called Practising for my film audition.  My group was a group of 3. We found out soon enough  that our book was about poetry.  

Poetry is about Rhyming, Alliteration, it can always be creative. And I also know that all of these mean it is a poem. A poem can be true but usually if it's true its about seasons, Ocean. And lot's of other things. 

Here is a picture    

 

  

Athletics Day

 Athletics    Day

Wooshhh!!

All these little kids zooming past as we cheered them on. My sister Amelia was neck and neck with Nina one of her best friend. As they were racing their heart out to get to the interschool athletics. Just at the end Nina leaped past Amelia.   

It's finally here.  Do you like athletics day? As you can Probably tell I love athletics. What is your all time favorite sport?

In athletics we do ball throw, 100 metre sprints, High jump, 200 metre sprints and last but not least long jump.  The teachers said first up for the year 5s are ball throw. we were all excited to get started. We all had 3 throws each to get further than before. I did my best and  came 6th. I thought that was a good placing. 

Next up was Long jump. 

It's not my best. But you should see my friend Aria, she is great at long jump. I did my first jump and ended up in 3rd place for a while. I had two more jumps and neither of them ended up at interschool. But for the year 5 girls Betsy in first then Zoe and coming in 3rd place Aria.

My favorite one was up next, 100 metre sprints. 

Sprints is not my best but I still like it.  On your mark get set go! yelled "koka Sue." I was in first then I went back. I almost made it into finals. I wish I did. Next up was 8  year 5 girls. Heaps of people were in first until the last minute. Sorry but I can't tell you exactly who won. But people were fast. 

High jump was up next. 

Matua Nic was the high jump teacher. I was 3rd in line. I ran jumped and missed. So I went down a cone with Zoe, Lila, Jago, Bridie and Indie J. Zoe went down then Lila next Jago me then Bridie again. The first place winners  for the girls were Aria and Betsy tieing so then Lola was in 2nd. 

Thanks for reading my blog about the awesome Athletics day.  I hoped you enjoyed reading it. I would love it if you told me what I could do for my next blog.  Please give me some feedback.     

Travelling To Napier

 Travelling To Napier

Rolling along the foggy road. Trying to get to Mahia, by the time it was 6:00 am.  Travelling up foggy and bumpy roads, as it was still the hour 5. Are we there yet " yelled Amelia".  Almost "said  dad." We finally made it to Mahia!!!

My sister Amelia + my dad jumped on the boat with a life jacket and warm clothes since it was 5:30 am. My mum, Olive and me drove to the beach to see them get put into the water.  It was so cool seeing a boat get put in the water a whole different way. We left Mahia trying to get to Napier as fast as we could. 

We made it to Napier. But only the people that were in the car of course. All my family woke up at 4:00 am so we were starving. We went to have some breakfast at 9:00 am. My mum text my dad to see how far they were. And they were only 10-15 minutes away. We made it in time to get some photos of them coming in.

 Going For Gold Bake Sale

A few weeks ago our teacher Koka Rozie let some kids take a lead. Zoe my friend and me started a fundraising group.  This is what we choose for kids taking a lead. We gathered some of our friends. All together we put our brains together and we decided what should we do for fundraising.

For the first one we choose Bake Sale Fundraising for  the SPCA.

On the 29 of september wednesday we are doing a bake sale and I am doing it with...

Myself Kyla-Rose, Zoe, Bridie, Millie and Krissie

We are hoping we will raise tons of money during this bake sale so that the SPCA can get what they need to help animals in urge of care.  We are also hoping that the SPCA will be able to get  warm blankets so that the animals can keep warm in winter and get the care they need.
