Kapa Haka

I walked through the school gates ready to perform at my best. I carried my dress to the hall bathrooms and got changed. I ran to Koka Barb to get my moko stamped on my face. With pressure I pushed forward so I could get as much ink as possible onto my chin. A yellow feather got placed in my hair.

We were at alert level 2 so no parents could come and watch. Matua Canaan yelled "camera are rolling." A wave of excitement gushed through my body. The kaia yelled the first command and we sung as confidently and loud as we could. 

I was really proud of my rupu because we learnt three new songs and covid hit so we didn't have much time to practice. My favourite song was definitely Kapana because the girls got to be strong for once. All the boys supported the girls with the singing.

Overall I feel that we were relaxed, confident and loud. It was so fun dressing up and performing. I think we did an amazing job and performed at our best. I can't wait to see the video.

Week 6/5

                                                                   Math:

This year has been my favorite year so far at WBS. I had a maths workshop. The workshop was about how much we know about geometry.

I only knew a little bit of geometry. Like 2D and 3D shapes. I learnt about polygons and what they are.

that was in strand with Koka Joe. In a little workshop I did word problems just so the teacher could work out how we solve word problems.

                                                                  Writing:
For writing we did a word bank about the farmer's market and bees. That was not like what we have done for the last couple of weeks. We usually put a timer on and write about a picture on the screen. I think quick writes take a lot of your priorite time. In a writing workshop we had to write about something naughty. The naughtiest thing I have ever done is when I got money out of my wallet and went to the okitu store without my mum knowing and bought lollies.

                                                                    Art:
This term we have been doing a lot of art. These are the types of art we have done, monster art, my life island, pop art and 2020 goals. My favorite is my life island. We can do art after we finished all of our priorities. I absolutely love art do you like art comment down below? I finish my priorities to the best of my abilities the first time.

                                                                   Reading:
After morning tea and lunch we do fifteen minutes of silent reading. I have recently been into diary of a wimpy kid books. I have read cabin fever and I am reading the original one witch is diary of a wimpy kid. I do dancing so I read in week 1 hope in a ballet shoe.
