Im super exited because we are doing it every friday until week 10 because we will be performing at the Lawson Field Theatre at the end of the program. Our topic is Whirikokas Seal. Im super exited to do it because I get to work with kids from other schools and I get to meet them and work with them. I'm exited to see how it turns out

Cooks Cove caterpillar

 As we climbed up the steep lot of of stairs all I could hear was panting and puffing and we had only just started! We were walking up cooks cove in Tolaga to practice for camp that was only one week away! All the year sixes were pumped for camp and we were excited for this walk . We got through the stairs and were nearly at the top to get to the the statue but we had to make it through the steep hill ahead, my group were the first in the big line of year sixes so we had to jog up the hill!

We finally made it to the statue and my group got put at the back. In my group I had Raphi, Alice, Me and Momo. Me and Alice talked the whole time. We started walking the middle part and we started getting puffed and our legs started aching. There was lots of down hills and up hills and because its a farm there was lots of prickles and when I say lots I mean thousands. Once we got to the lookout  thing our teachers and parent helpers took a couple photos and we had a drink and a little read of the sign about captain cook's meetings with maori and his ships crew.

We started to walk down through the bush part but we had to make it down all the stairs without tripping. we were walking down the last lot of stairs, when we got on to the dirt track it had split in two tracks one indof deep down and one when you walk in the low one it is up to your hip and it looked funky! We got close to a bridge but we were stopped and shushed and told to look up it took a little bit to find but after a little we saw a... Morepork ! it was so cute we named it Phoenix after my horse. we crossed the little bridge one group at a time and we parked our caterpillar next to the long drop so kids could go to the loo. 

We walked past the hole in the wall and down to where Cook arrived and we had our brain break and talked. we started walking back and stop to look at the hole in the wall and take a photo. We all went in the hole and got called out. then we climbed up the huge hill we just went down but we couldn't see phoenix. we got out of the bush part and it was now all downhill and it didn't  take us that long. When we got back we talked about camp and left.

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.
