Rhythmic callback

 YES! We got a callback from the gym club for our rhythmic dance performance . I can't believe this, well I can but this is such good news.  After school I sprinted home as fast as I could, I could feel the breeze in my face. I quickly unpacked my school bag a race to the car. My mum took me to the gym club then got a seat.  I started to get into a cold sweat and started to worry if I mess up, or I forget my lines, or stumbled. But I told my self I would go on stage and be the best ringmaster ever.

"Wainui Beach please enter the stage." We hopped up in our line order, we took our places behind Girls High and waited nervously. We watched a few dances and how amazing all of them where. "Wainui Beach School take your positions please." We all walked on stage, our arms and legs were trembling. I got ready to start then the music started to play I started doing my one handed cartwheel but then it was my time to shine.  I started acting out my solo for about 30 seconds, then we started to dance.  We gave it our all. When we got off stage we were so proud of ourselves.

We watched two teams preform, then it was finished Rhythmic was done. It was so fun, I wanted experience it all again. After we could go in the practice room and get changed and get warm. I thanked our coach so many times, she was the best coach ever, she helped us when we didn't know what to do, so thank you Jacks so much.     

 

Gym Festival

 It is 1 week and two days until the Gym Festival!  I am so nervous all these thoughts went through my brain what if I muck up, what if I don't stick the landing, what if I forget the moves?   I can do this I kept telling myself.

Every morning we practice our floor, beam, and vault at 8.30 with Koka Ngaire so we will be ready for the competition. Alivia, Charlotte M, and I are not doing competition but Aria is competing. We have all got our floor routine nailed as we had to make it up all by ourselves.

Vault was easy once I got the hang of it because I kept putting my feet closer to the ground each time which was how i got the hang of it.

Beam was the hardest off all it was easy learning it but the moves where hard.  The easy moves where dip steps and the ending when we cartwheel/roundoff off. The hard moves where getting on the beam, holding your leg, and doing arabesque.

Staying Cybersmart Online

Hello, today I will be telling you about how to look after your chromebook. You need to remember that the littlest things could wreck your chromebook. Like one little drop of water could get in the keys and then, it would go into the wires, and 'kaboom' your chromebook has broken...

Interschool ATHLLETICS

On Wednesday me and a few others went to Interchool Athletics. 

My first event was ball throw I tried my hardest to get the ball to go as far as possible but the ball just missed the flag so we didn't come a place in ball throw but it doesn't really matter because we tried our best and had fun. Then it was the boy's turn they did really well and got our school first place.

Next was running, I didn't come a place in the 100m sadly but Charlotte.M got a place she made it into the finals which was very good because it was stiff competition.

Overall I think our team did including we came second in the relays. And I had so much fun.

Monarch butterfly show

 Kia ora today I will be telling you how we went to the monarch butterfly show.

Today we went to the monarch butterfly show it was really cool. The monarch butterfly show was about how butterflies are important to us and not to kill their homes.They told us that how would you like it if we destroyed your house's and we had nowhere to stay no food or anything.    That is how a butterfly would feel if we chopped down there home.

There were two ladies that performed the monarch butterfly show they did some stunts in the show and that was really cool. I walked down to the show with Alivia and naia. On the way there we saw a really cute cavoodle everyone started hugging in and patting it as we walked onto the bridge we started to throw rocks into the river and to see who can make the biggest splash.

Maori Language Week

Today I am going to be telling you about Maori Language Week here at Wainui Beach School.

We as a school are going to try to use as much Maori this week. Teachers will be trying to give us feedback on our learning in Maori. Today the whole of Moana and Nui got together and we sang our school Waiata and filmed it and put it on the Maori language week website. 

Our teachers shared a site onto the Moana hub and we had to select the written word and match it to the wons that are in Maori. Here is the link to the game if you want to play it...Maori week game 

Our teacher has already taught us some Maori including Kia Kaha which means be strong.  So remember to use as many Maori words as possible because this only comes once a year.

I believe that we should be using more Maori in school and I am looking forward to learning more Maori. We have the Kapa Haka festival in term four and I am looking forward to it because I have been practicing my poi.

I would like to learn how to weave, play traditional Maori stick games, and have a hangi.

What are you doing for Maori language week?

What would you like to do?
