Te Waka Ako Dance and music

Talofa lava blogging world, this week in Te Waka Ako we have been rehearsing our dances for the dance competition. For the dance competition we had to practise a dance with music that has no words to it. For our dances we had to come up with some actions that was based on the beats and rhythm to the instrumental song. For my groups dance we have changed the levels of how we moved, and we also made different shapes using our bodies. So as we were getting closer and closer to finding out who is going to perform in front of the whole school during assembly, we had to perform our dances in front of the whole senior syndicate. So when we found out that my group made it into the finals to dance in assembly we rehearsed so much we felt like we were rehearsing a dance for  ALDC. We had a lot of fun dancing in front of the whole school. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post and watching this video of my groups dance, Please feel free to comment on by blog post.

Cross Country

Namaste Blogging world, This week in Waikowhai Primary school we have had our cross country for 2017. During our whole cross country, I felt very nervous because our run was really long and I didn't know what place I would come. So at the end I came 8th place out of 17th place and last year I came 13 place in cross country, so it was a huge improvement for me. The things that was very  challenging for me was running 2 kilometres, and the things I enjoyed the most was having to teach most students how to use Te rakau sticks. I hope you enjoy reading my Blog Post about our 2017 cross country. Please feel free to comment.

Magical world of crazy science.

Kia Ora blogging world, this week in Waikowhai Primary School,  we have had Richard and Robyn come over to demonstrate some wonderful crazy science. In the science show we learnt about H2O(water),fire, bubbles and Polymer. My favourite science performance was the fire demonstration. They made some fire works indoors using a combination of fire, oxygen and fuel. Richard  also touched the fire and threw it in the air with his bare hands. Some of the things that I learnt was that bubbles are the thinnest objects in the world that you can see with the human eye.  Bubbles are produced when water, soap and air/oxygen are combined together. The things that looked challenging during the science show was learning how to do and make all of these science performances and then having to perform it in front of 200+ kids. 
 Some of the things that i wondered after the show were....

I wonder if  scientific's can help the world become better.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog post about the science show, please feel free to comment, Blog you later.

My Mountain Poem

Malo lelei Blogging world, This week in Te waka Ako we have been writing and illustrating our mountain poems.  In our mountain poems we have to make sure that it rhymes and it makes sense. Our mountain poems had to be 8 lines or more long. My mountain poem is called The Ambush Attack, I thought my mountain poem was really funny and interesting, so I decided to post my mountain poem onto my blog to share it with the whole blogging world. I think the most challenging thing about making our poems is that we had to make sure it  rhymed and we had to find out what to draw on our poems.

So I hope you enjoy reading my poem and please feel free to comment.

Mt Ruapehu ski adventure

Kia Ora Blogging world last week our Senior syndicate went to Mt Ruapehu for a nice four day ski adventure. On the mountain my challenges were learning how to stop and learning how to turn using my ski's.
On our last day on the mountain I finally learnt how to stop and turn using my ski's, but  most of the time on the mountain I was actually on my bottom. While we were on our ski adventure I actually also learnt some new facts about plants at the Hamilton Gardens. I really enjoyed our four day ski adventure especially when we had dinner and desert. But The only things I was disappointed about was that I got blisters from my ski boots, But I didn't give up on skiing. So that was my ski adventure, I hope you enjoyed  reading my experience at camp.
