KAPA HAKA!

For our kapa haka festival, we got our whole syndicate together, and we practices every Wednesday  and Monday,  for an hour each practice, for a few months. The festival is where any schools that are willing to participate practice and then preform. It's a great time and this year I even got to be in the front row. Here are some photos of the festival.

My Look Book!

Lately I have been working on a google slideshow, so that we can share it with our parents for our student lead celebrations. Here is my slide show, I hope that you enjoy.

Athletics Training

Our school athletics is coming up soon and we have been training for the last two weeks, we have been working hard to improve our sprinting, jumping (high/long), throwing. On the day I did really well. I tried everything even though you didn't need to do high jump, I did it because it's my favorite.
I came 1st equal with another girl in my year. We both get to go to interschools. Yah! I can't wait I hope that you enjoy my post and be sure to comment.
Bye!                   

Creating Media

Today in class we were looking at media. Koka Maria, talked to us about how people edit images to make them look better. There were some pretty good examples she shared. My favorite was a video called Evolution of a model. Search it up, it's a great video to show how much people edit in adds.
I hope you liked my post.
comment if you have anything to say about my post!

Our Open Day!

At the start of term we had our open day for the Hamanatua Stream, our actions speak louder than words inquiry project. During the open day, each group got to share what they were doing and their next learning steps. Overall the open day was a bid success and I enjoyed say my part in front of classes from school and parents.

Hamanatua Stream

This term our inquiry topic was actions speak louder than words. Since my class looks after the Hamanatua stream we decided that we wanted to make that area better. Then we brainstormed in class until we came up with 6 ideas.

Then we split into each group and started taking action! My group was a mural group. We kept sending messages to the council but unfortunately our mural idea got shut down due to safety reasons. So we then sent them another idea but we haven't got a response, fingers crossed!

A Surprise Visitor!

Today Meng Foon the mayor of Gisborne came to our class. This happened because we canceled our open day down at the hamanatua stream but he came to talk to us and see what we had done anyway.  When he was here we answered his questions about how it all started, and what we had done in the pass few weeks.

Here is  a photo of us with his.
