Kapa Haka

 We lined up in our lines we were getting ready for Kapa Haka. We waited for a little bit and then all of the sudden we started singing unti na.

I think that it would be a little bit boring for you guys to read all of the words to the song so thats why ill quickly catch you up on whats going on. The festival couldn't go a head so that why we have a professional videographer in to film us doing our Kapa Haka. We finished the song. Now it was time for the next song ka waiata.

After a couple more songs it was time for the haka. The boy had made there way ford in the previous song Ka panapana. Personally I find the haka quite nerve racking mainly because the boys are at the front. We did the haka really well. After the haka we did one more song called toia mai. This had been a very fun Kapa Haka.

  

The green team

The crayfish nana walked out on to the stage of Ilminster school gisborne with its grandchildren and started telling them a story about when the aliens came to town. The story was about how the aliens planet had already been full of trash and they needed a new place to dump there trash.

So they decided to start dumping there trash in our earths planet. Then 4 kids wanted to play on the skate but they couldn't because all the trash was there. Anyway it was a really cool play with lots of humour and the actors were great. The team that performed were called the green team.

The play really inspired me to not litter on our planet because then we will have to find some where else to dump out trash. I really enjoyed the show an I bet others around me did to.

SPaG

 Today was spag. I walked down to the mat with my scissors. The teacher said that we were going to be doing some murder mystery SPaG. The task was that we have to make a rectangle using well known sayings sometimes known as proverbs.

I was in a group with Bramm,Olly,Archie and me. It was quite hard to make the rectangle but we somehow managed to get it done. It was mainly hard because some of the sayings nobody knew witch made it hard match them together.

We were the second group finished witch meant that we got to go out to brain break 3 mins early. This had been a very fun murder mystery SPaG. 

High modality

 

High modality is words like certain must and have to. It is pretty much words that make you do something. Low modality would be like unlikely.

Awa walk

Koka rozie opened the gate. We were going on a walk up Hamunatu Stream to were it started I couldn't wait. We crossed the stream. Everyone go across fine except for Tre who fell in. We started walking. It was very muddy and there were lots of cows.

After we had waled for about 30 mins we stopped for a snack. After We had finished our snack we continued to walk for another hour. We stopped for lunch at the start of the stream. At the start of the stream it is very shallow and narrow. It was also quite clear.

After a 15 minute lunch break we walked back. We didn't have any stops on the way back. We crossed the stream again but this time I FELL IN!!! Neko also fell in too. Soon we were back at school were got changed into our spear clothes. It had been such a fun day and I can't wait to do it again.  

Gillies cup

I jumped into my mums silver car. We were going to the gillies cup match. We were facing mangapapa at there school. It was a rainy day. We were facing mangapapa because we faced them last year for the gillies cup and they bet us.

So we challenged them for a rematch. It takes at least 15 minutes to get to mangapapa school but we were early so I was allowed to get a hot chocolate. At about 11:20 we arrived but the kick of wasn't until 11:45 so we did some warm up. 

At about 11:40 we lined up in our positions and waited for mangapapa to get into their positions.Then we started. It was a good match. they played much better then they did in the other matches that we played them in. We won 5-1. I was so exited that we had won the gillies cup.                                         

6 th

 It was cross country day. I lined up with all of the other kids. We started walking down to the cause I couldn't wait to do the race. Soon we were at the cross country course. We watched the year 6s run but not for long because we had to line up at the starting line.

On your marks get set GO! We were of. For our cross country you have to run 2km. I was in 1st but I was getting token over. After about 800m I was in 4 th. I stayed in 4th for a long time but with about 150m to go I got token over again.

I was still like 5th thats a better result then last year. (I got 6th last year) but then with about 10m to go I got token over again. I was pretty disappointed with myself but at least I tried my hardest.
