🤩Kapa Haka 2020🤩

As we walked up onto the stage I could feel my heart beating furiously. We appeared on top of the stage. I stopped were the red line ended and I looked out to see if I could see my family. I then realised that the audience wasn't as big as last year. Or was it. Our leader started our first song then the crowd cheered. Suddenly, we were onto our last song. It felt like we fast forward all our song's then suddenly finished. We appeared off the stage then sat down and waited to watch the wai and nui do their performance. While we were waiting we watched two other performances they were pretty good. Once the wai and nui did their performance we walked outside to meet our parents. I feel like our kapa haka this year was pretty good but I think we still have a few patches to cover up.

Week 1 term 4

🟡PBL P.E shed🟡

 Hi, sorry I haven't been posting much... Well that is because I am now in a group called "PBL" (Project Based Learning) PBL is basically... Well... Is just making things better, like if your school tanks are looking quite plane, then just paint something on it! Their are only about 13 or 10 people that are doing it this term in our school. Me and my friends Kalya and Charlotte have buddied up, and we have decided to get our old P.E shed up and running again. (We will be painting the inside and everything!)  this blog post it the before, and my next blog about this will be the after!

- here are the before photos I put on a slide🙂 

 

Week 7 term 3

MATHS WHIZZ

This term we have a new website to do maths on. It's called Math Whizz. When you start Math Whizz they will give you a trial run, so they know what your level your at. Once they have done the trial you get to pick your avatar, background, house and pets. (I have a goldfish as my pet) Anyway, when you finish a task you get gems, and each gem goes into your profile. Once you have 3 or 6 gems each week then it counts up and you go up to the next level. All the levels are- Rookie, Apprentice, Pro, Master and Superstar.At the end of each week we round up all our progress like how many gems we got in the week, our progress and the time we had on it. I really recommend it for viewers that are still in lock down at the moment. It is great for kids to get their maths skills up a level.

Week 5 term 3

Week 8 Term 2  

LOCK DOWN LIFE

Lock down Life


For the last 2 months New Zealand has been in lock down. Our prime minister Jacinda Ardern refers to it as "bubbles" so every family has their own bubble and if they are in physically contacted with any other family they have to stay two meters away from them. Or else the bubbles pop! She also says that we have levels to stay in. Level 1 is when it's all normal no bubbles just all the same life. level 2 is when  business are open, no bubbles and so are schools but remember to stay clear. Level 3 is when all schools are closed some businesses are open and we get to make our bubbles a bit bigger but remember 2 meters. Finally level 4 is completely lock down and your not allowed to leave the house only if getting food. But esencial business are still running like super markes of post office. Lucky my family owns a beekeeping business so we have been working like usual.
It was fun spending more time with my family and doing online learning.We had different topics every week.

Week 1- ANZAC
Week 2- ANIMAL KINGDOM
week 3-WORLD FAMOUS
week 4- STORY TIME
back to school
week 5 & 6- OUR EARTH

I'm very happy to be back to school
I hope you liked this weekes blog post

Week 7 term 2

Chips, Beans & sour creams

This week we were doing a fundraiser at school for year 6 camp 2020. We were having a NACHO DAY. More than 100 orders  were made all at the cost of $6 dollars each! So we would have made at least 600 dollars. 

Our year six camp will be at Hastings since we only have 25 or 28 kids in our year group. I will be doing a blog post about camp in week nine.

To know what week it is look at the bottom of each blog post. :)

All the year sixs had to make then deliver the nachos. I was one of the pickers and delivers. We were working in the staff room. There were 11 classes in total to deliver to. Once it was done they were delicious. Mine was really crumbly.
   
  

Week 5 Term 1

Waves,Water and Racing

Yesterday was WBS first sports day.
But it was not on land.
It was in water!

All of Moana syndicate went on the bus to enterprise pool. Where we sat was organised into year groups, and who we raced against was in year groups to. (Of course) My year group was waiting for quite a while. Quite a while meaning all through the heats and semifinals. (There were amazingly only 4 of us!)

As the year 6 girls lined up I felt really nervous really nervous. As Koka Rozie shouted "Ok year 6 girls" we hoped up onto the platform "take deep breaths" is what I said to myself. "Take you mark get set BEEEEEP!!!" SPLASH!!! I dived into the pool Oh no my goggles fell off! I keeped swimming. While swimming I tried to put them back on. (Which I did) My goggles were still filled up with water It was a nightmare. I was getting close to the wall wait too close Ahh! Yes, to save myself from getting too close to the wall I did a tumble turn. I was sprinting back and without noticing my cap fell of! Ha.

The other races where a challenge but I thought I would share this one cause it's pretty funny in that race I came first, in backstroke I came second and in breaststroke.

Week 4 Term 1

YAY! School again

Yay school again! the first few weeks where a blast we found out our buzz groups and house captains. With heaps of fun games along the way. I'm so excited to share all the cool news with you this year!

We had our first surfing session and that was fun. The third week we found out who our house captains are! I ended up getting house captain for mango. (blue) With Robbie HERE is his blog. I am so excited for the year of being a house captain.

Our buzz groups were very different this year, but I am still happy with what my group is. There is me, Nalu, Ethan, Cael and Josephine. Our animal is a goat. To find our buzz group we had to get one piece of paper with a word or name on it. For instance kid, goat, billy, and Capra aegagrus hircus. 

Thanks for reading my first blog post for 2020. I will inform you with more information later. I hope you like the slide.    





Week 1-3 Term 1

Term 4 summary

In Term four we have been focusing on Culture City, athletics, kapa haka and Rosie and I were doing an play called the Chronicles of Narnia. I found this term very fun but it's also my best friends last term. So it's quite sad.

In athletics I came 1st in 100 m sprint 1st, 200m sprint 1st, Long jump 2ed, Ball through and 1st in high jump. That made me go to the interschools. There i came 2 in the heats and 5th in the final. I have know idea what I came in long jump. But I did get in the newspaper.

While I was performing the Chronicles of Narnia the routine was 

1. get into costume

2. do face paint

3. do hair

4. watch the performance

5. perform

6. go out to the crowd and show them our costumes

During the term on every morning we would have a Just Dance to a soccer song, fighting song or normal dancing. We did furniture olympics which is when you are in a group and you need to make something together but you have to be touching each other. 

In conclusion I have had an AMAZING term. next year I am looking forward to camp because we get to go to Splash Planet and stay at the aquarium.

  

Kapa Haka 2019

Kapa Haka 2019

 On the 20th of November 2019 Wainui beach school had their kapa haka festival. I peered through the audience as we were in the stage wing, waiting to start performing. We all started walking up, that made me proud to be at wainui. As our kaea Hunter started singing our school song, I spotted my parents. Before you know it we all started singing . When we finished, the boys went to their spots. We all came together to sing Haramai a Paoa, our second song.

We all went to our spots, put our hands on our hips and started singing our action song Kapi Oh Oh. I saw mum taking a video of me and koka niarge taking a video of the entire thing. As that song finished all the girls did their poe to Pure Ane. The first two rows went on their knees, while the others stood up and the boys were singing and doing some actions. After that we sang Utina and went into a translation for the boys to do the haka.

The boys hakas where our school haka and the all blacks haka. As the boys where doing this,some of the girls were singing to it. After that we all sang Wainui E wich translated us together. I was by Bay, Seve and in front of me was Sophie. Once we sang that, to end it, and lead everybody off, we sang He Honore ,with the front row last to leave.
