Dance 2017

This term  were learning how to dance. We learnt lots of different moves hip hop moves like the robot . We tried to even break dance. I enjoyed doing the robot but dance isn't really my thing so I didn't really like dance. The reason I didn't really like dance because it was boring and you had to have everything that the teachers say in your freestyle dance. I also didn't like dance because most of the stuff I couldn't even do. My most favourite dance was the chicken dance. We did a lot of different dances from around the world the first one that we learnt was from Denmark the dance was called seven jumps. . We also did a dance from Germany the dance was called the chicken dance the chicken dance was the one that I liked.  The last dance that we did was called the folk dance. Cotton eye Joe is the third dance that we learnt. Cotton eye Joe is from USA.

Maori language week

My greenstone is on the right when we made it we had to use salt dough. I was mean't to make a fish hook ( Hei matau)but it turned out like V which was perfect because my name starts with a V. 2 days later we painted it green just like a greenstone. When I went to Rm4 we played a maori game called rakau. My buddy was logan he was hitting me everywhere it was kinda fun but my favourite was the greenstone making. When I went to Rm1 we played bingo but I wasn't very good because I don't really know my maori numbers. When I went to Rm2 we played string games I really liked the string games because it was very temping to keep playing with it. Kennedy was very very very good at doing different things with the string. Overall I really liked doing the maori language week because I don't do games from different cultures usually.

2017 Mini Marathon

 Mini Marathon


2017 5th of May Friday it was the day of mini marathon I begged my mum saying can I please not go. In my imagination I thought I wasn't going to find my school and I would be lost. On the way down to the government garden energy event centre.  I got butterfly's in my stomach I really didn't want to go but I had to.
We arrived and I saw my school flag waving in the air I ran to the group of St Mary's. I got my piece of paper and pins to stick into my t-shirt and started to walk around the area with my friends. As I  waited for the race to start we were listening to the music. Suddenly I heard year 5's over here year 5's over hear I quickly went into a line and waited for the race to start. I heard year 5's please go to the starting point. When I was waiting I felt very claustrophobic because there was 2100 children. Me and my friends   decided we was all going to run together. The race began I ran with my friends 

Chinese speech competition

This is a photo of me waiting very nervously for my turn to go up and say my speech. Trust me it was very hot inside the heater was on the whole time and  I was dying in the heat.  This girl named Abigayle was first up I could tell by her attitude she was very nervous. About 10 people after Abigayle Mackenzie went up and said her speech I think she was pretty nervous as well.  After all the year 5 and 6's went I was wondering why they didn't call my name then they said after the year 7 and 8's go all the native speakers will go after she said that  my nervousness went away because I got more time to practise.

As I was saying my speech I got very very nervous I could feel the blasting heat from the heater forcing onto my ears. I  didn't really now where to look so I just looked at the middle block and the judges. I was more nervous because I was the last one to go out of everybody and that was the worst feeling because everyone is not nervous because they have already gone a I really nervous. After my speech I felt much better all the nervousness has flushed out of me and I was very happy of how I said my speech.
