Production Rehearsals

The show must go on! 🎥🎬

Kia Ora bloggers! Today I will be blogging about my online production rehearsals! Well as you all know we are in lockdown! In an earlier post I blogged about my school production. We still need to be memorizing and learning lines because as the saying goes 'The show must go on'! So since we can't meet up and have a rehearsal we are having google meet rehearsals! It is so much fun! Today was my first one because I accidentally forgot it was Wednesday and didn't go on Wednesday this week! Since then I have remembered! We are also having online classes to everyday. Back to rehearsals we have fun and we do it for about half and hour to forty five minutes! It is cool! My favourite part is the scene where I am in (Obviously)! Not only because I am in it but for another reason! No spoilers though!

Pork Buns

 Mmm...That smells good!

Chaírete bloggers! It means hello in Greek! Today I will be blogging about how me and my brother made pork buns! Conroy my brother used to make pork buns in last lockdown and this time I got to help him. This is one of my favourite things to do. First, Conroy made the dough. You have to leave the bowl in hot water for two hours but my brother forgot and left them for a long while longer. Then, my Mum came and helped us with needing the dough. Once that was done we rolled all the dough out and took pieces off and rolled them out. When we finished rolling a piece of dough you add some meat in the middle on kind of fold over the meat with the other ends of the dough. Finally when we finished all the dough and meat we boiled the water and steamed the buns. It takes half an hour to steam then you can eat them. They were delicious!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lockdown...again!

Talofa Lava bloggers! Today I will be blogging about me and my brothers baking! Yesterday on Monday me and my brother Dustine made delicious chocolate chip cookies. First, we creamed the butter and caster sugar together and then we added the condensed milk and mixed it together.

Once we did that then we sifted in the flour and baking powder in and mixed it together.

And then finally when that was done we added the chocolate chips in. After all of that we rolled them into balls and cut out star shaped cookies we put them in the oven. When they finally came out they were delicious chocolate chip cookies with melted chocolate chips they were amazing. I had lots of fun helping my brother with his baking yesterday. Today my older brother is making pork buns and I might be making some fried bread.

The stuff that looks burnt is just melted chocolate!

Saturday Netball

Kia Orana bloggers! Today I will be blogging about Saturday Netball. Mrs Jones and Miss Daly take two teams on Saturday to play Netball. Sometimes when they can't make the games two parents step in and help out. My Mum and Sally are the people who manage Stars. Stars is one of the Netball teams. The two teams are called Magic & Stars. Last week Stars had their first game and Magic had their second. Stars had a bye the week before so they didn't play. A bye is when there is a odd amount of teams and one team can't play each week. Stars won their first game 32 - 5. It was amazing! Sadly Magic lost their game but they did their best. Saturday Netball is so fun and I can't wait for the game tomorrow!

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!
