Pobble 365 20 minute writing

The picture you see here is a picture of little light balls, which are homes, and whats happening is all the homes are celebrating New Years. In the little town called Never-land there is a tradition where everyone is up waiting for 12 to celebrate New Year Eve, but there is a little twist, well everyone comes out side and starts dancing and hugging and stuff. As you see, there is a man that is leaving town. He is leaving town because he goes to a little hut where he stores these sacred stuff that no one else knows about. Well this mans name is John. John here is going to the hut and the sacred stuff that is there is called Lumian. Lumian is little triangles and if you wet them then form some sort of spiritual animal. John was going to get one triangle so that he can get one animals for New Years. Well he was getting this special animal for New Years. The animal that he wanted to get was the Blue dragon. He wanted to get the Blue Dragon cause he was thinking about Chinese New Year. so he thought that he would bring this dragon and celebrate New Years, keeping in mind that he has to sneak out without anyone knowing about it. He goes through all the Lumian's and finds Blue Dragon and quickly tries to get back home before it turns to 12am. At 11:58 he gets back and has to open the Lumian to let the Blue dragon out for everyone. 12am everyone is dancing and sees the Blue dragon flying around. Everyone is cheering and laughing.

I chose this piece of writing because I wanted to change up my topics since I was just explaining my weekends. What I found easy was just coming up the story along the way as I was writing. However the thing I found hard was trying to start it off and just take it from there, and also trying to keep the ideas in sync with each other. My next steps are to use more powerful vocabulary and language because I feel like it was just a little ehhh with just everyday vocabulary.

Buoyancy

For a few weeks now in Room 5 and 6 we have been learning about Buoyancy. Buoyancy is when somethings floats. So our big question that we had to answer was Why do stuff float and why do stuff sink?. So what we done was we had to make a a poster or something just to show what we know about Buoyancy. So our teachers wanted us t use some other stuff instead of google drawings so I decided I would use Piktochart. I would say that I really like how it turned out. Hope you enjoy it. Sorry when I downloaded it the words didn't show very well.

Te Reo Activity

Te Reo 

Today for Te Reo we did directions again but this time we did it in our class. What happened was we had to be in pairs and well once person will be blind folded and the other person will tell you what to do in Maori. We had to try and get stuff that our Student Teacher had put out for us to try and find. The hard thing about this Activity was trying to get them around the class without bumping into stuff. The easy thing was finding the stuff because our Student Teacher didn't put them into that much hard areas. My next step is to learn more directions and also memories them. Sorry we didn't take any pictures. 

Te Tai Tokerau Intermediate & Primary Kapa Haka Regional.

For my 20min writing this week will be about Te Tai Tokerau Intermediate & Primary Kapa Haka Regional. So as we all wake up everyone starts talking about how nervous they are. We all get ready, have breakfast and go across to the hall. We have Taumata and after that Horraces says that he will try and record as much. 15mins after we start getting dressed and everyone is a bit psycho cause everyone is nervous and all. Once everyone is ready we wait for the bus to get here. Once it got here some people had to get some stuff on to the bus.  When we all got on the bus we had to focus so that we could calm down before we get there. When we turn into the stadium we saw all of our supporters and family. When we all got of the bus we waited for TKW (Te Kapehu Whetu) to come out of the changing rooms. When TKW came out we all went in and just started to get the rest of our stuff off. Like our Tamoko and just little touch ups. 2mins before we go on stage we are all waiting for us to go to to waiting just before the stage. When we get called to go by the stage we all just start to breathe heavily. Once I hit the stage all my nervousness just went away. When coming of the stage a few people start crying. (happy tears) Few Hours later... Now we are waiting for everyone to come to the prize giving and all the stuff we places were whakeke, Moteatea, Whakawatea and Waiata A ringa. Leilani (our Kaitataki Wahine) also came 1st equal with TKW, and we did a mean haka for her. When it came to time to hear who goes to nationals everyone had their fingers and toes crossed. When the man said that we came 4th then we all just jumped and celebrated. When we left we were all in the bus singing. We stop at the park to have some pizza and have a little play. When we got back Horrace said that we can have a 15min swim in our school pool. When we went to bed we were all relieved and happy. That was my first regional competition ever, and I am proud to have done with Te Rau Pou Manawa O Kawakawa.

Kapa Haka Dress Rehearsal.

My 20 mins writing this week will be about my Kapa Haka Rehearsal that happened on the 11th of November. (Sunday/Yesterday) So first of I was at a Kapa Haka Wananga ( A live in for a competition group) since Friday night and well about 7 in the morning my dad had to come and pick me up for church which would only for  about 1hr 30mins. So after church I had to go home and just get into some other close to come back to school and just get back into Kapa Haka with the rest of the people in my group. When I got back the girls were getting a bit of a growling because they weren't giving it their all when they were practising anyways Horrace said for everyone to go outside for the rest of the 15mins and then comeback and then we all get dress. After the 15mins everyone started to get the hall set up for all the parents. Not long after we started to get ready and well the way the girls went was while Bina (Horraces Fiance does the next person then they next girl gets ready into their dresses. Well when your done and Bina is still doing someone elses hair then you can go to Whaea Tere (Horraces sister) to do your moko. When your done their then you can go to Bina to do hair, and then when you are done your can go to Whaea Whetu (Horraces Mum/Teacher for Nga Rau Tipuranga) to get your lips done. When everyone was ready we had to go to the back of the hall and wait for all the parents to get in the hall so that we could wait in the foyer to go in the hall. Once I got out in the hall there was no going back. After the Performance a couple of people from the crowd stood up and talked and after a Waiata we had a Haka performed to us from Whaea Jazz, Whaea Hinemoa, Whaea Tere, Matua Shane, and some students. After everything was finished we went around to everyone and let them take pictures. After all the pictures we went and got change back into our other clothes and go home. That was my Kapa Haka Dress Rehearsal Sunday.

My Saturday!!

This little writing is my 20 mins writing. This is where we have 20 mins to write anything we want onto our blog to everyone that goes on your blog. On Saturday the 3rd of November I was heeling from being sick for about 3 or 4 days and well my dad decided to take me to the beach with my family because I haven't been out since Thursday (2 days) and well my Dad wanted be to get fresh air and not stay in the house for 3 days straight. So my dad, Nan, my cousin Maria, my cousin Daniel and I went to Tapeka Beach with my other uncles, aunties and cousins. When we got to the fairy all of the kids got out to look at the water. Once we got off the fairy we could finally see some others beaches and some oyster farms. Before we went to Tapeka we had to stop at the Garage to get some bait for all the men to go fishing. Once we arrived at Tapeka all my aunties and Uncles had put all the snacks out for us and we also had a little cooking some meat for us. After everything was set up my uncles and my dad and I put up the tent and also filled a hair couch for us to sit on. After everything was set all the kids went for a swim and all the men went for a fish, but me and my cousin Noah couldn't swim cause we were both sick. When my dad and uncles came back they also brought back some Kina's and my whole family ate them all before we could even save some to take home. As it came to about 3'ish then all the kids umped out cause they got cold and me and all y older cousins were playing around in the air couches that we filled up and it was super fun cause we all squashing each other. As it came to the ending of the day it started to get windy so we went back on the fairy back to my uncles house to have a feed, After the lovely I went home had a nice warm shower and went to bed. So that was my fun family Saturday this week.
