Easter

Last weekend was easter and it was so cool. I woke up really early and woke everyone up by yelling:  IT'S EASTER ! But I did that a little louder than intended. We had to wait for it to get a little bit lighter so we could see. We went outside to look for eggs but I just helped my sister because I can't eat the eggs because they have dairy in them and I can't eat dairy, so I got a carob bar that my mum ate. Then we headed over to my nanas and got marshmallows and jelly beans and easter bags. I love easter.❤

Camp kaitawa awesomeness

In week 7 all the year 6s had camp at  Camp Kaitawa and it was so much fun. We did huge up and down hill walks, kayaking, running and swimming. It was amazing! My mum was the cook and she came on the walks and swims. I learnt a lot about our history up at the Lake Waikaremoana. I did not think that the lake was that big!

                         

Kapa haka festival

Last week we had our kapa haka festival and we did amazing but there were some things we could have improved on. We got to school and we went straight to our class that we had sorted to get dressed in before, then we got dressed. We got our moko on and boy did we look good! Then we got our pictures done, we got our pictures done before the girls got their lipstick on! Then we got our lipstick done we looked really good now.  Then we got all lined up after everyone was ready and got on the bus on the bus ride we went through our bracket, but it was not with everyone on the bus other classes in our syndicate were on different buses. When we got there we got lined up in our lines but the 2 first rows got their pupu on (thats me) it was a real struggle and we hardly got it on, they were soo tight that it was hard to breath! Then we went back to our lines and ran over our bracket really softly and we sounded amazing. Then we got called over to the stage entrance and we waited for about 10 minutes for the man to stop talking and when he did I had the worst case of butterflies in my tummy . We walked on stage and the kaia yelled whakapiri and we bunched together and sang, we were delightful! When we finished we were soo happy then after watching 2 other schools our other syndicate's came on then we sang together our school song we looked and sounded amazing.

Kapa haka

We have been practising our kapa haka bracket and we have managed to learn one new song 1, 1 new poe routine and a lot of actions for a song. We have improved massively  From not knowing how to wiri wiri to being experts at wiri wiring.We had a dress rehearsal on monday and we looked sharp in our dresses. I'm so excited for our pupu's they are pretty skirts that look like this:

I love kapa haka!

Gordan walter

 This week we tried doing gordon walter digital art he is a talented artist. he does his art by hand but we did ours digitally. They are so cool. You put long rectangles and fit the perfect circles that fit perfectly. It is a very funky style. There are some pictures down below.

3D hand art

 This week the year six kids went on camp so we did some 3D hand art. 3D hand art is art that you trace your hand, and then you make the lines straight then when you get to the hand you make a kind of lump, and then you colour in the gaps and you'll get this:
