Kapa Haka

 Last week we had kapa haka. I was in front row for the second year in a row. We got our mokos done if you were in front row you would also get it up to your forehead. I was pretty excited which is very surprising because i'm always nervous. The cameraman got his camera and mic ready. Here is the video. Click Here to watch.

Ilminster Green Team

 Today we went to Ilminster  to watch the Ilminster Green Team perform. We took our seats excitedly, there was a painting of the ocean and a painting of a skate park. I already knew this would be exciting!

I saw a crayfish, 2 crabs and a kina. The crayfish was called Nanny Koura and she was telling a story about how she saved the world from aliens. Firstly, there was a bunch of kids who were littering some rubbish. Next, the aliens came and said that Planet Earth would be a great place to dump all of their rubbish since they had already polluted their own planet. The leader of the aliens was King Moron. The aliens were orange. The kids said "the aliens should reduce reuse and recycle".

After that, Nanny Koura said to stop and the aliens said "we are sorry because they thought Nanny Koura was their leader because she was orange just like the aliens". They packed up their rubbish and left Earth. Next the kids were going to go home but Nanny Koura said they had to pick up their rubbish as well. The kids left as well. 

After this performance I felt inspired and thought that I could make more of a conscious effort to reduce, reuse and recycle more. I really enjoyed the show today. I have been to a Green Team performance before but I liked this one the most.

Speechs

 Last week we had speeches. I had to do my speech first in the class. I was excited but very nervous.  I just thought to myself that I would set and example for the rest of them. They would either be better or worse or the same. So that made me feel a lot better. I stepped up on the stage. 

I started my speeches it didn't seem to bad. I just started and finished it with eas. I listened to everyone else's speeches. They were very good. I was wondering what the teachers score they gave to me. I went over to Kobi he was the kid that marked me I asked what he gave. 'He said he gave 35/40. So that was a very good score. Overall I think I did ok.

Variety of Texts

 This week in our reading group we had to figure out the kind of writing structure was in the texts. I got one that was a procedure. It was called the disappearing tiger. I new it was a procedure because it had the materials and steps on how to make it. It had bossy words like remove and use and stuff like that. It also had diagrams to show us what it should look like.
