Production reshearsals!

Three, Two, One Action!

Talofa lava bloggers! Today I will be blogging about our production rehearsals! In Te Waka Ako everyone is busy learning lines for our production. This year we have a production called Jasmine and Aladdin. Miss McGrath is the producer and director of the production (& all round super star)! Every Friday in the middle block we have a rehearsal with Miss McGrath. During rehearsals we run through the scenes. Brittany is Jasmine and she has been working very hard and so has Masi who is Aladdin. We have rehearsals after school too from 3:15 to 4:15. The production is in Term 4 so we have some time to practice. Production rehearsals are very fun and Miss McGrath is very good at acting and she arranged the wonderful script and is very talented. I can't wait till production night!

Matariki Celebration

Its a new year!

Talofa Lava Bloggers! Today I will be blogging about Matariki. This Thursday our whole school celebrated Matariki in our classes. Matariki is the Maori new year. A special constellation comes for about a week every year. In the Maori culture its best to harvest around this time. Our school celebrated this in our classes. The seniors did three different activities they were stop motion animation retelling a Matariki story with Miss Daly. Also Maori kites called Manu Tukutuku with Mrs Law, and delicious Fried Bread with Mrs Jones. My favourite activity was Fried Bread with Mrs Jones. 

First we made the dough with Self Raising Flour and water. Then, we divided the dough and split into groups and cut the dough.  After, we went and fried the bread with a teacher and then put some toppings on top like Golden syrup, Nutella, Butter and Jam. We ate it and it was delicious!!

I had such a fun day and am sad I won't be here next year to do it again.

Hope you enjoyed my blog post! Did you celebrate Matariki? If you did what did you do?

If you have any spare time please comment below! Blog you later! Here are some photos!

     

                       

 
          

Cross Country

Talofa Lava Bloggers! Today I will be blogging about my awesome day yesterday! Yesterday we had a School Cross Country. It was so fun. In the start of the day we set everything up and then got ready. Once everyone was ready we started. The leaders and house captains lead 4 - 5 different games. My game was a blindfold game. My partners were Ruta, Demitrius, and Izumi. I had so much fun and got a little frustrated. My game is simple you get a partner, one of you wears a blindfold and the other lead them to the other side. You can't touch them if you are leading you have to lead vocally and on the way to the other side you have to help them pick up something like a beanbag.

When we had the last two groups we were exhausted. People managed to make our game confusing!! We ended up playing tidy your room. We relaxed because in this game we didn't need to do anything. I had fun bu the end of the day was coming and the best part of the day was soon. The RACE! It was so fun. I would do it again. I came first! Jaimie on of my best friends came second and Rael came 3rd. Brittany came fourth. I had so much fun that day. Hope you enjoyed my blog post!
Here is a video of our day!
