Maori Hand Games!

Maori Hand Games!
Last Thursday (8th of June) I and some other kids went to something called Maori Hand Games, the part I enjoyed was that when they demonstrated it, it was quite funny. To decide who won one of the tutors would hover above either April or Tu's head. And of course the girls went for April and of course they won,because when I cheered for Tu it felt like I was screaming my lungs out.We learned 3 Hand games which were Paki, Hei tama tu tama and e hipitoitoi. What I found challenging was understanding what to say in Te Reo like e hipitoitoi and others.I loved the Maori Hand Games and I would like to thank the Kahurangi Dance group for coming.

Rising Seas Reading Task!

Interdependence Rap + Art

Interdependence Rap + Art

On Monday (May 1st) Everyone did a Interdependence Task in the morning, We all got put into star wars 'spaceships' and had to make a piece of art and a rap about the holidays. There were 12 people in each group, and you had to rap about what they did and you COULDN'T miss one, it went the same for the art. So we split into two groups with six people in each one. I was in the Millennium Falcons and others were in X-Wings, Snowspeeders, At At's and more. Overall Millennium Falcons came 2nd (I'm pretty sure) and the X-Wings finished off in 1st place. Here is a video of our (Millennium Falcons) Rap.

My Special Place HB

Mahia:A Special Place in Hawke’s Bay

Sinking onto the soothing sand, you hear the waves break and stumble while others are washing up on your toes. You feel the summer breeze rush at your upper body with delightfulness. Covered with relaxing warm sand makes you feel extraordinary on your legs.Quiet,hot and an amazing holiday.Is this a dream come true?Bashing and diving through the waves are the locals having a blast.How can it be half a world away.Many trees hover above your head and stand tall with sprinkles of water sliding down the soft leaves.The sensational sight of the top of the Mokotahi Hill makes you rub your eyes thinking you are in a dream.What a wonderful place to happily stroll down.The houses are empty, everyone’s swimming.This is surely a Special Place.

My Waka Art!

My Waka Writing!

The top left drawing is about how the waves and surfing , because I really like the Sea.

The top right drawing is about how I love going on the boat with my whanau , Because We do biscuiting,bombing,diving and fishing.

The bottom left drawing is a basketball hoop because I love basketball and enjoy it a lot!

The bottom right drawing represents how I like korus,nature and hills because My family and I go Tramping,Hunting and many more,But my Favourite

one by far is playing tag in the bush with the Whanau.

The reason Rimu made ‘Waka Art’ is because we all paddle together through challenges and task in our one Waka learning that we are all one whanau.
