At The Disco

Last night Paihia School had our disco, it was really fun  because it was a glow in the dark fair. The PTA sold drinks, lollie bags and also hot food, I bought nachos because they had run out of hot dogs. There  was also a photo booth. My friends and I took lots of posing photos, I really enjoyed hanging with my friends. My cousin Zhynailyah sang Tennessee Whiskey, she was good because she could hit the high notes in the song.

Taku Whanau

During the last couple of weeks in Te Ngahere we have been learning about Taku Whanau. Taku Whanau is when you are introducing your family to others.  Our WALT is to learn new kupu to use for creating something to show others our whanau. What I learnt was how to put things into order in Te Reo, but it was challenging because you had to understand what the Maori kupu mean. What I enjoyed was helping people once I was finished my work. What I need to do next time is work a bit faster so I can help more people.

Technology

On Wednesday the year 7&8's went to technology in Moerewa. The year 7's were in cooking class and the year 8's were in woodwork and hard materials class with Mr E. I have been making a 50th key for my Papa. It took me two days to finish off the key. What I enjoyed was making the 50th key because I got to use all the materials. I can't wait till I give his key to him because I know he will love it.

Kindnees

This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about how to be kind to  ourselves and others. We learnt that we had to wave and smile to others, because it will make them feel happy, once someone in my class waved and smiled to a parent she came and told our teachers that

”your kids are so beautiful because they are waving and smiling to me it was so cool.” That's what they have been learning to do. I enjoy waving and smiling to others because they wave and smile back. One thing you have to remember is it doesn't cost anything, you just get wave back with a smile. Next time I’ll teach more people to wave and smile to other.

Kapa Haka

Last week the Kapa Haka roopu performed at Kawakawa School. It was cool watching other kapa haka groups perform because it made me entertained. After each Kapa Haka group performed there were amazing songs to dance to as we were waited for the other roopu to go on stage. We felt so happy after we performed on stage. We have another performance coming up in  Kaikohe, so hopefully we will enjoy ourselves like last week.
