Kapa Haka Festival

On Wednesday it was our Kapa Haka festival performance! I was so excited because pretty much everyday we had practiced over and over! Kapa Haka was one of my favourite things to do as I put heaps of effort into it. 

The performance was at the Gisborne showgrounds. Me and Alice sat together on the bus ride. When we arrived I was so nervous! As we had our very last practice, I told myself "Let's do this!!" Then we started walking into the hall, I was so happy! 

As the the man addressed the crowd we marched up onto the stage. I could hear the cheering ringing in my ears as we got into places. Our first song was E Tea Riki and it went so quickly!! Very soon after, the boys finished the haka and our performance was almost over!

As fast as it started we were off the stage and waiting for Wai and Nui to finish. I felt so proud of myself! 

Then after Wai and Nui had performed, the whole school sang Tu Mai Ra together. After that I had so much fun, I just couldn't wait for next year!!   

Just Dance

   Just Dance 

 After lockdown, me and my friends volunteered to

run Just Dance. If you are wondering what Just

Dance is, it is an active video game when you have to

copy the person on the screen like a reflection in a

mirror. 

 Me, Ella, Rio and Josie were in charge of the projector so we
had to learn how to work it. It was really confusing!! Two of our
favourite dances are “Timber”-2 player and “Waka Waka”-4
player.  The only one I know off by heart is
“Kung Fu Fighting”.But I don’t really like it.

 Fridays is when anybody can come to do Just Dance. 
Lot’s of juniors join in and it is really funny, cute and cool
to see them trying to follow the moves!

 After Discovery on Friday me and my friends got to hand
out shine cards to the people that came and parcicartated
at Just Dance.  Shine cards are cards that the teachers hand
out to children that are showing our school values: Respect,
Responsibility and Resilience.
