Kahurangi Maori Legends And Myths

On Wednesday 1st of August a group of middle aged people performed in front of our school.

The group had two males and four females, firstly they started their performance by singing a Maori song with actions. A while later, they all introduced themselves one after the other. They first said "Kia ora!" as we responded back to them "Kia ora!" as loud as we can.

Once they finished introducing themselves, they carried on with their show. They told us all a myth about a beautiful creature and a hansom man that lived on land. they both were extremely in love with each other. The hansom man loved the sea creature so much he wanted to stay with her forever but she couldn't. The sea creature was able to walk on land but she a signal from the sea calling her to come back. They both saw each other one day and kept a promise for the sea creature to come back and sea the hansom man every afternoon.

He then finds out that if the sea creature eats cooked food it will stay on land forever, so he gets cooked food and try's to make the creature eat it while shes sleeping she then wakes up and notices the food then she feels betrayed.

Receiving A Certificate At Assembly

On Monday last week Leaaepeni and I both revived a certificate from our teacher Mrs Golder. My certificate was for being a trusted and reliable member of the class.

The songs that Room 9 choose for us to sing were: What Do I Know by Ed Sheeran and Teach The World To Sing.

Room 9 made up a really fun game using a milk box and the contestants were: Julianne, Lisa, Kate, Uinita and Jacob. What you had to do was grab the box with your mouth by leaning or squatting and your hands have to be behind your back to make it even challenging. Once you grab it with your mouth you have to rip the box to make it smaller. The afternoon was very astonishing.

Buddy Reading With Room 1 📖

Today after lunch Room 12 walked over to Room 1 to do buddy reading. We were waiting outside the class room for them to get ready and spread out so we can go with buddy up. Once they were ready there were to many Room 12 children than so two Room 12 people had to go with a Room 1 student. Tyra and I went with Zephania in the corner of the room. We read and asked him different questions until we had to leave.

Room 10s Sindicate Assembley

On Monday 21st of May Room 10 hosted their assembly in the Multipurpose after lunch. We all sang the first song Aotearoa by: Stan Walker. After the song we did a game called heads up, teachers against the children. What you have to do is hold a card that has a word on it to your head and your team hast to act it out. For the next song we sang Azonto by: ODG. After we did a dance-off with  all the rooms against each other.

On the 15th of May, Room 12 went to the Multipurpose Room to do hip hop at 11:55. Once we got there we were waiting for Room 10 to complete their lessons. When they were finished we all went inside and sat down. The first thing we did was a warm up. We all started do groovy dance moves. I really enjoyed dancing and I can't wait till next Tuesday, it was a very fun experience.

Our Fitness For The Week🏃

It has been a few days after the holidays and everyone must seem a little slack on their fitness so all the seniors run around the senior block. When someone is going to slow down or walk for a while the must stay on the left so the fast runners overtake on right. We all run for about fifteen or ten minutes to get our stamina up from sitting around watching T.V and eating junk food in the holidays.
