Kapa Haka filming

 Kapa Haka

Kapa Haka was today as soon as we got to school we had to get our uniforms and then get our black lipstick and moko on. After that we got a feather in our hair. Our hair had to be half up half down. Once the second bell went it was show time...

The boys had to take off their shirt and we had to take off our sweatshirts and cardigans then we had to line up in our rows I was in the second row. We were in our dresses and the boys were in there shorts and we warmed up with a song which made Koka Nolian cry a bit then we had a deep breath and started.

We started with a song called Utaina Mai it was so fun to do I loved it. Then after that we did a really nice song called Ka Waiata.  The Poi, one of my favourite things we had to do it to a song called Rona it's a lovely song since I'm in the second row I only go down on my knees while front row was on their bottom. Then we did the song again. After that song we did a type of haka for girls I think. It's called Ka Panapana.

In the song the girls moved backwards and the boys moved forward for the Haka. After Ka Panapana the boys did the Haka they were so so loud. After that the girls walked back to the front then my friend started a song the last song called Toi Mai then after that song we were finished. The End

Green Team Play at ILMINSTER

 Green Team Play At ILMINSTER

They came starting with a story,  Nanny Kora was telling her grandchildren a story then she said it was time for bed. The crayfish kept asking for Nanny Kora to tell another story. One of them left but the other one stayed and Nanny Kora another story and how she saved the planet from the aliens.This is how it went. 

The aliens came down to come dump their rubbish but first the servants had to do a dance to say that it was the right place to dump rubbish. So they did. There were other kids that came down to the skate park first they dumped some rubbish then left. They came back the next day to find the crazy rubbish that the aliens dumped on earth. They tried to touch it but it burnt them.Then they found a robot that they left he was crazy.

The robot told the kids about how bad the aliens were for littering so they called them first it was a song of Peppa Pig then it was coco melon then it was d d d d da Dora and there were two boys and they danced like nobody was watching but everyone was watching. Then the aliens came back and the kids tried to talk to the king of the aliens but that didn't work.

After a while they went to Nanny Kora and told her about it she said I've told you to tidy up but they haven't been. But she still wanted the robot to call the aliens. The aliens came and did everything that Nanny Kora said. Then she told her about how she was the biggest diva underwater. They danced to Baby shark.

Then they ended it with a dance saying to tidy up, it was funny. That was our time at IlMINSTER for the Green Team Play

Speech Finals

Speech Finals

It was speech finals after morning tea and I was in it. I was so nervous. It was time for my turn to speak. I was after my friend. My speech was about gymnastics obviously and why the NZ gymnastics Nationals is worth it. 

I had to wait a long time on stage before I was allowed to speak. He gave me a thumbs up so I started speaking. I started with a joke that went "What do Bananas and gymnasts have in common... they both have great splits."  Then I kept talking. I had finished and I was so nervous after so as soon as I had finished I waited a few seconds and kinda ran down off the stage.

My speech paragraphs were about things like what you can do after the finals then the next paragraph was about how you can be on TV, then my third paragraph was about meeting new people seeing new things and also getting to try new foods and experiences. 

I had three paragraphs left, the 4th one was about stuff I will do to get to Nationals, then my 5th paragraph was about fears and how much fears happens. Then it was the conclusion I said all the things that I had said before. That was my speech.

In the end I came second and my friend Bridie won I was so happy for her. That was the end of my big speech finals. THE END
