Kapa Haka Performance

On the last day of Kapahaka the middle team Kapa Haka group  had to do a performance at the St Andrew kindergarten and also at the Elderly people's rest home. On that dayof the performance  I was feeling really shy, but also excited to be perfoming to an audience. Here is a picture of me in full costume.

bean experiment

Yesterday on thurday we had to do and seed experiment. And we had to put paper towel a bean and also soil affter that we had to put water in it and we have to wait until it grows into something.I think it will grow
into a sun flower.

High Jump

Yesterday on Thursday we had to do High Jump with Mrs Bundycook. We had to jump over a metal bar and if we made the jump the metal bar will go higher and higher until you can't jump over it anymore.But we did"nt go that high because we were only practising for high jump so it wasnt that dificult. It was really easy
what I want to acheive on is doing well in high jump and making my legs straight when I jump over it.And also I want to do well in long jump and also sprints to 200 meters.

All Blacks Competition

Room8 have entered a photo competition. We are supporting the All Blacks against Argentina. We pretended to be at a Stadium supporting the All Blacks. We wanted to win the competition so that we could have an All Black come to visit our class. Macs mum Mrs Winter came into our class on the photo day and brought in some props we could wear for the photo. She brought in beanies, jaclets and also two cold hot dogs cold pot of chips. These are the things you see in a crowd at the sports stadium.

Kapa haka

At kapa haka we are learning songs like papaki titaha and e honore and also toia and it is really fun. I was really enjoying it and on September the 10th we are going to the regional finals and it is going to be exciting . We
will be competing with other schools and we are doing to performances and I hope we go to the final competition.

The Peasant prince.

In room we have been reading a story called the Peasant Prince and one of the characters is Li Cunxin. He was a very poor boy and he was one of the six of the seven sons. He was only 11 when he left his village and his family and desperately never got to see them again. At the age of18 he became the best dancer in China and then he travelled to America and he came the best dancer in America.

 So, in room 8 we had to draw kites that repesented China, like dragons, blossom trees and also butterflies. We drew out the kite then practised sketching out our drawings. Then we coloured them in. They were ready to fly. My kite has a Chinese blossom tree on it.
