Saturday morning netball game.

Last Saturday we played a netball game out on the courts.  We played waikirikiri school they were really good.  We tied by 6.  I was mostly playing attack and centre. 

Te Atawhai was playing attack with me and Te Atawhai's defender was holding her arm so she couldn't catch the ball when I was trying to pass to her so I had to keep passing to centre.

 Naia was really good at playing defence, Naia was really good at jumping in front and catching the ball when the other team had the ball and trying to pass to each other. Naia was playing attack with me for one quarter and she almost scored all the goals.

Charlotte also plays defence, she is really good at getting the ball when the other team has it.  Charlotte is good at attack and shooting goals from close up. 

I play attack with Charlotte mostly.  We had really good defenders so it was hard when we were trying to shoot goals and we didn't get them the other team would cause they were right under   the goal.

School holidays

In the school holidays my sister and my mum and me went to the Mount and it was amazing we went to K-Mart and got my friends some pens. We got settled in out our new place and then we had a walk around the Mount Hill halfway there we saw a beach with heaps of beautiful shells so I picked some up for my friends.

The first day we arrived there some of my old my mums friends came to our house and they went out for dinner, so we got a babysitter called Alice. We watched feel the beat it was a Dance movie and it was really good.

the next day we went to the hot pools with my mum's friend Eran and he threw me and ruby in the hot pools and I learnt how to do a backflip out of the water of Eran.

Just Dance costumes

This week it is the end of term so we decided to have some fun and dress up as just just dance characters. You got to choose between Timber, Hands clap, and waka waka.

Charlotte and I choose Timber it is a two, I am going to be the girl and Charlotte is going to be the Panda.  Charlotte and I will be doing Timber on Thursday.

Charlotte is going to bring the two hats and the panda suit and I am going to bring the T-Shirt. I don't have a American T-shirt so i'm just going to bring a checkered T-shirt.

Last week we were working on making letters so Naia came up with the idea to write koka Terri a note about just dance costumes so Koka Terri and Koka Ngaire and they said yes to bring outfits for just dance so we all were so excited.

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!
