Kapa haka

 Kapa haka 

On the 18th of november, our school went on 4 buses to get to the showgrounds where we were performing. We had sung all our kapa haka songs and others. When we got there we formed into our lines and practiced our songs. We were the first school on stage. Wainui was the only school who performed with the poi. The boys haka was so fast I could not keep up with the words to be said!

When we were settled neatly in front of the stage, montessori preschool assembled onto it. Some of the kids went crazy but the teachers would not dare chase them. Then Manatuke went on and they were good but they were a whole school! Thats was strange, there must be more people in moana syndicate than in that whole school! Wai syndicate went on and performed a few songs including our school pepeha. After that, Nui and us all performed together and our principal cried.

QALLITY BLOG POST

This week

I have had a great week. 

Me and My class have been doing art, reading and maths.

On wednesday koka Jo and koka Holly took our class.

Me,Lola, Charlotte, Ella and Esther (our buzz group),
Had to make a giant bubble with homemade mixture. Our whole class had too. 
My buzz group decided what bubbles we should make.
In the end we decided to make bouncy bubbles.

Esther and Ella searched for a recipe so the teacher could buy the ingredients.
And me Charlotte and Lola went around the school thinking about what would be in our homemade
Bubble wands. In the end we had made our list.

• Pipe cleaners
• Paper straws
• Milk bottle cap
• Screw driver
• Scissors  

After our bubble research we did bubble art.

MLH 2 and MLH 3 crowded around Koka Holly to see how to do the art.

Koka Holly had 5 bits of Black paper that she had stuck together.

She used the white pastel to draw bubbles and used other colors to make a rainbow bubble.

Every week we have 2 reading groups and 2 maths groups. I am in Kea reading group 

EL3M KT Witch means early level 3 Maths with koka Terri.

We are learning about our Questions,predicting, monitoring, visualizing, connecting,inferring and summarizing.

We are also doing zentangle art. Here are some photos.

I’m  not finished though.

Lockdown learning

In the lockdown we did a lot of activities. We did a dress up theme, and art.(lots of art fun!!)

We had google meets too. So good to see friends.

Dress up theme

Every week on Friday we would dress up.

We would dress up in a character from our topic this week.

Most of the time I couldn't dress up because I don’t have any dress ups.

Animal activities

Nearly every week we would write about a animal for example: 

• African big four
• Reptiles
• Big cats   
• Sharks

So we would pick a topic to write about. I chose a reptile, green sea turtle.

Art

We did a lot of art too. Like soldier art or our book pictures.

We did poppy art and little diorama. I also did a lot of art at home too, you know.

Activities

I did at least 5 outside activities for school. Including 3 pixy houses one fishing in creek project and I went snorkeling at the lighthouse. If you click on the word Pixy house it will take you to photos of my pixy house.

In my spare time

In my spare time I went to the lighthouse, Got muddy in the creek, Drew, climbed trees and went for walks. 

I went to the lighthouse in the middle of the lockdown, The waves were calm and we took a lot of photos. We found PRETTY shells and purple crabs. I asked dad if we could go snorkeling tomorrow and he said yes. Here is a link of My lighthouse trip.
