My menu

Hi this week on of my priorities was to make a menu with things you love and this is the menu I put together.

Gym concert

Gym concert with Alivia, Lila, Betsy, Aria, Sarah, Zoe, Matria, and me all did a gym concert last friday at assembly. One of the girls wasn't here though but that was fine it still looked pretty good.

We worked all through discovery for 5 weeks to put that dance together and teaching them them was very hard. Alivia and I are doing a new dance and showing it at the end of next term and the song is "you need to calm down".

Making up a dance with my best friend Alivia is really fun. We are teaching them some really cool stunts and flips. Alivia and I have already got the first 3 moves.
We practice at the back of the hall at discovery.

Alivia and I are really proud of our group for doing the concert and not giving up and very excited about our next concert.

Pepeha art

On Wednesday the whole off moana cyndicut went down to the lighthouse.  And that's where I got my idea to do a lighthouse with waves around it and I drew my monga, Marea and the humunatua stream for my Pepeha art.                                                                                                                                                                                                             

My Pepeha art represents all of my family. My sister represents the lighthouse for how bright she shines, my Marea represents my dad of how strong he is, my monga represents my mum off how kind she is, and the humunatui stream represents my puppy Arlo for how cute he is.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

My Pepeha art has taken 2 weeks to finish I have put a lot of time and effort into my piece of art. The most challenging thing about my art was probably getting all the patterns right and colouring in the back to trace onto a piece of paper. Here is a picture of my Pepeha art.........

Just dance

Ding, ding, ding went the bell for morning tea me and Alivia sped to the
hall as quickly as possible everyone was making a lot of noise until
the teacher came into the hall everyone sat on the carpet and
waited for Rio, Josie, and Ella to tell us how many people you
were in  a group with. 

The first dance we learnt with our class was called waka waka (It’s time for Africa)
that was a group of four so everyone rushed around trying to  find a group of four.
I was in a group with Alivia, Naia, Nina, and myself.  The next dance was called Timber. 

It was a group of two so Alivia and me got in the positions and started to dance
and follow the characters. At the end of the dance Alivia had to jump on 
my back and do a pose which was very awesome.

Everytime i do just dance my heart rate gets up and I feel exhausted. 

Just dance has taught me to be a better dancer and it has taught me to
calibrate with others.

Facts about just dance: the people that we are following are actually real
people just behind a green screen so they would have to be real good dancers.
Just dance has nearly over 500 songs! 

Back at school

I can’t believe that school is starting again. I am so excited about seeing my teachers and my friends. It’s hard to get back into the school routine again.

 When I got to school on the 18 of may monday I felt so excited when I got to school. The best thing about coming back to school was doing heaps of art and getting to see my teachers.

My favorite thing in lockdown was probably spending more time with my family and pets. I liked how I got to chat on hangouts with my friends and spend more time with my sister.

Every friday our whole family would make dinner together.

The thing that I didn’t like about lockdown was that I had to make my bed when I got up and I had to start work at 8.00 and end at 12.30.

swimming sports

Oh my gosh I have to get ready for swimming sports I quickly got ready and ran of to school. We got on the bus it took off. We arrived at enterprise I got changed and sat down waiting for my name to be called up.

When they called my name up I went in the line we got ready and then Koka Rozie said 'take your marks' and the big bang went I springed of the diving box and splash into the water I went as fast as I could I had dragons in my tummy I got to the end and did a tumble turn and did a big push off. 

When I finished in second place I went down and got my towel and cheered on my friends. I got into the finals for everything and I came second in the finals on breaststroke and freestyle. Once I did all my finals I went to the shop and got some lollies. I had an amazing time at the swimming sports and very excited about inter school’s.

Our first week back at school.

I have had a great first week back at school in MLH. We have done some amazing things like trying to get into our buzz groups and doing heaps of challenges. We did a challenge with balloons but the balloon popped on the second round my group had to sit out until we got to do another game. 

In the morning while the year sixes are swimming we do quick writes. I love the quick writes. The first quick write was chocolate vs cheese. I choose cheese you can put cheese on really anything.  I really like MLH because my teachers are really nice and I've got all my friends in MLH.

We did a challenge to see can you really touch your nose I couldn't but i'm really close.  I love that my teachers always take us for a swim in the school pool it is really warm.  My goal this year is to achieve what I didn't last year I want to get better at writing,reading,math and art.  I really like how we silent read after morning tea and after lunch.  I also like how we have Koka Jo and Koka Rachel on Thursday/Friday.  This week we started our self portrait and the treaty of Waitangi it's really fun. And thats my first week back in moana learning hub. 

Can you see the balloon that popped
