P.E reflection

This is my P.E reflection for this week and last week. I have said what I want to achieve and if I achieved it by the end of the week. We make our goal by using the social skills on the skilled game player. 

Rv design!

At Gisint we have thing called RV's. RV stands for rise values, which are self management, integrity, exellence, and respect. At the end of the week we can cash them in for prizes. So far the RV design is a bit boring, so we are having a design competition. 

On my design there is the names of classes in our syndicate (Tane Mahuta), I also have the rise values of Gisint on the trunk of the tree. If we win we get 35 RV's, which we can use to go Paintballing, the pools or something of our choice.

All About me 2020

We were learning about our digital footprints that we leave, also making sure nothing personal is shared online.

I found it hard to see what we need to keep to ourselves or post online

I found it easy to make the digital picture of our face because I have done it before at my old school.

Next time I might try to add more detail to my writing to make it more interesting.

Kapa Haka festival!

Turanganui Kapa Haka Festival.

I Shivered nervously, as I followed my line onstage. It was the Turanganui Kapa Haka festival and Wainui beach school was about to perform. We were all dressed up with mokus, black lipstick, and our dresses. The front row had piupius and feathers, but Matitia (The kaea) had a patterned cloak draped over her. Once we were all on stage the audience broke into a loud applause. When it had died down Hunter began to sing our school waita. As he sang we began to form a triangle, then we all joined in. We sounded great as our voices echoed around the stage. Everyone broke into another loud applause once we had finished.

A few songs later, it was time for the poi. "Pureanui toru wha!" As we sang, we went down onto our knees swinging the poi. Halfway though the song we came back up, continuing with our poi actions. The next song was Utaina. After we sang the first part it was time for the boys to come through with their Haka. It sounded beautiful as the girls voices came though the haka. Once the song ended it was time for the big Haka. The sound of cheering filled the room as they ended the haka. Finally it was time for Wainui e and He Honore. It was the last lines of He Honore when my row walked of stage proudly.

I found Steph and my mum after the performance and they took many photos. They were so proud of us. After saying goodbye we got into our class lines, and prepared to get onto the bus . I felt so relieved it was all over. I can't wait to come and Watch it next year! My highlight was probably the poi or Ka Pioioi because I smiled the most in them. 

Marae Trip!

Marae Trip

Kapa Haka

Last week our school went to Te Poho o Rawiri for our stay at the marae. I came late because I had just came back from my holiday so I wasn't there for the activities on Thursday. When I arrived my friends ran up to me and showed me where to put my bags. Soon after we went down to the courts to play handball. After a couple of games of handball the bell rang for dinner. I sat down at a table with my friends and we ate nachos for dinner. 

Ukulele

After we had ate we set up our beds and then we performed our Kapa haka for the adults that had come to watch. We then got ready for bed. Sophie and I hopped into bed and talked for so long. We finally tried to get some sleep but somebody was snoring like CRAZY so we didn't have the best sleep.

Inside of the Marae

The next morning we got up, packed up, and changed into our clothes. The teachers made us run for a bit, but luckily they let us play games afterwards. We had breakfast then welcomed the Wai in with a powhiri. Overall I enjoyed the Marae trip because It was a fun two days for everyone.

Learning new sentences!

For the past two weeks in my level three writing group we have been learning to write new types of sentences. They include a main clause, a dependent clause and a subordinate clause. In one workshop we wrote five sentences including those things. We wrote them about our characters from Escape from Kraznir. This week we had three options to choose from. All of the options were creatures also from Escape from Kraznir. On this blog post I am going to be sharing my sentences about the creature I chose.

Auckland Islands!

In my EL4 math group we have been doing an activity about the Auckland islands. If you don't know where that is, the Auckland Islands are 290 miles of the South island of New Zealand. There were 10 activities we had to complete. Some were hard and some were easy. (Most of them were hard). The task was for year 8s, year 9s, year 10s and year 11s. I did this task with my friend Sophie who is also in my maths group. Together we completed it and got the questions right.

On each task, there was also a Challenge. Some tasks/challenges involved drawing, creating, reading, researching,writing and much more. Luckily on every slide there was a clue. One clue was a math clue and the other clue was a road clue. The maths clues had an equation but the road clue had some research. On most of the tasks we used math clues. I learnt lot's about the Auckland island and its animals. I also learnt that exponents are the small number that goes above the big number. Overall I really enjoyed this task and I would recommend it for you if you wanted a challenge.
