prize giving

Prize giving was awesome it was thursday the 12th of december. And it was prize giving day i wasn't going to get any prizes but I went because I had an important role to play in Kapa Haka. 

We all entered the hall and A massive crowd was in front of me. I had to get to the back of the stage so I could get ready for the kapa haka performance. My heart was beating so fast. Ms Tito said it was my Tupuna getting ready.

On stage all i'm looking at is the exit sign and a massive crowd. We did our song and haka and got off the stage the crowd was cheering so hard. After we finished it felt like i was going to faint I put my shoes on and went to the hall.

Back into the crowd it was the year 7 awards i couldn't believe how much sports the year 7 played. I bet they're going to have a strong team for next year.

It was finally our turn to get on stage my heart beating again the girls dance first then where on at the end we all sit.

first day of school

It was a hot and blazing day and the sun was beating hard on my head. As I walk to school by my self I had five dollars to my self for my lunch but it was so hot I bought me a ice cream the school was just across the road. as I walked in to the class everyone stared at me like i was going to kill them I was the only brown person in the class the had ask me to tell my name to the whole class I was embarrassed I had said my name in a little squeaky voice and all the kids laugh at me I wanted to knock them out because they mocked my name.

Where i'm from

Where i'm from i can feel the wind blowing sand in my face as i walk down the path I see people laugh and play I see my family with a picnic basket and cousins with and old musket

I can see a sand fly getting scraped by the weather guy

Reflection

The angles I choose to put in my movie where close up mid shot cut in cut away extreme wide wide shot and a few more in my movie a song was playing in the background it was named poi e

There were a lot of expression in most of these shot there was also actors and emotion I had no animates in my movie most of my movie was pretty good and all of the pictures matched each other

Yes it was good but some of the footage was deleted so I did not get the whole thing finished my movie was 2 minutes and 34 sec long the message was about what we did up at Waitangi our purpose of going up was so other people know what kind of beautiful things that are up there

I think I did my best to conduct the pictures and music together

MLK and nelson Mandela

There are two very inspiring people I think about most of the time they are MLK and nelson Mandela.

Martin luther king and Nelson Mandela were a bit the same and what I mean by that. Is they were both working to get equality between white and black. And when they both did that they went to jail. they were both black so not many white people liked them.but on this journey of racism and violence they both made it to victory.

Nelson Mandela is a black person those lived in South Africa. Back in those days;1950 black people did not get to vote.When white people came along they decided to rule over the black people most black people became farmers and didn't get paid that much.

Martin Luther KIng In 1929 M.L.K was born in 1953 he got married to what he would of thought was beautiful in 1953 his got blown up at time I he said lucky I wasn't in there in 1963 he finally gave his speech about his dream it was a very inspiring speech to some people.

1981 protest

1 2 3 4 we don't want no racist tour I shouted the person on the side of me had a strong grip we were walking down to the hamilton stadium there was a massive barbed wire fence we had signs and banners some said stop the tour and many other we ran to the center of the field and sat there for ages well we were sitting there cans rubbish and heaps more other stuff we're getting throwing at me.

Get off the field you bloody wankers the rugby fans shouted at me still we held on with all my might but then the police came with their weapons so we made a shield with our banners and it worked it stopped us from getting hit stuff we're still getting thrown at me.

CROSS COUNTRY

yay People were screaming and shouting because today was cross country I was not prepared as the bell rang little kids were zooming past me everyone was lined up and ready to race there were four colors that people had to represent they were Tainui, Te arawa, Takitimu, and Matatua,

As we all lined up it was we started to get very hot some of us started to sweat and weren't even running we had to wait a very long time so the teachers decided to move under the tree the year 1 & 2 had already ran we had to ran the 7 & 8 had to run 3.5k

Finally it was our turn to run boom the siren went off and we gone like smoke the fields where muddy and it was hard to try and stay up when you get past it I had just finished my first lap and I at a good paste I was coming 7 to me that was a great start then all the fast people zoomed past me and I came 15th

RUGBY

Rugby is one of the best sports in the world in fact the person that made it up. His name was William Webb ellis in 1823 he was a football player and that the game was actually named after the school he went to. One of the best kickers is Daniel Carter and he plays for the All Blacks.

Rugby balls are oval because when first made they were created using pig's bladders, which when inflated became oval.Jonah Lomu is very good in rugby he scored the most tries in the rugby world cup in 1999 where he scored 8 tries.

In my position I play half back, prop ,hooker and wing. I like it when I am running along the side lines and people are cheering me on it gives me the strength to go faster. Rugby helps me to keep fit and to stay active. It also helps me to stop getting into fights and put all my anger in our rugby games .

Rugby is a game where you could tackle, pass, dive, score a try and even push. You wear rugby boots which have sprigs. Each team has to wear a special uniform which represent what team you come from.

in the afternoon her mother told her to go and give some food for her she did not want to go so her mother bribed. Her with money then she took the money and left with the food.

On the way she met a wolf who escaped from the zoo well she was looking at it she thought that she might get money for it so she called the zoo then she had t o find a way to contain it then she thought of a plan she went closer to the wolf so it could smell her.

Then it started to chase her she ran it to grandmother's shed and close the door shut so the wolf could no get out when the zoo keepers came they found the wolf asleep and asked the girl did you give the wolf anything to eat and she said no why did you ask well wolfs only sleep when they have a big feed later on she found a letter on the fringe saying.

the three little pigs

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. Their names were Rigby, Mordecai, and Skips. Skips was the smartest out of all of them. He was the one who was the best builder but the other two were lazy.

One day they decided to build some huts so they split up. Rigby was building a straw house. All through the summer they built huts and Rigby was the first one to finish. The other two brothers said “your ones not strong, it’s weak” but Rigby did not care. So the second brother Mordecai started to build his house. He made his house out of wood. His one was not made properly because he wanted to go play with his brother.

But the older brother Skips was the brainiest of them all he was going to make his huts out of brick. The brothers kept on teasing him that his house didn’t look that good, and the two brothers tried to bribe him to come and play. He kept on saying no then. Early hours in the morning he had finished that day in the afternoon A wolf had escaped out of the zoo he was so hungry looking for something to eat so he was watching the pigs for a long time then decided to try and eat them.

He huffed and puffed and blew the house down rigby ran as fast as he could to his brothers house knock knock let me in the wolves chasing me ok the door opened and slammed just as the wolf came so he huffed and puffed and blew the house down they both ran to Skips house let us in the wolves coming ok the door opened and shut just as the wolf came up to the door

He huffed and puffed and could not blow the house down he tried again huff and puff but still could not blow the house down so he went to the supermarket and bought a ladder then went back and climbed up to the chimney. When he got to the top where making a hot cup of tea then the wolf fell down and burnt his self and the wolf ran away and never` came back.

VIOLENT GAMES

	Children should play violent games	Children should not play violent games:
1.	prepare children for the future	1.children might do it in real life
2.	playing violent games gets childrens anger out without really hurting someone	2.it can be addictive
3.	better at finger skills	3.blank mind
4.	knows how to survive	4.It negatively affects children
5.	makes them happy	5.bad in school

no

When children play violent video games they imitate what they see in them so if a character is doing drugs then the children may also take their parents pills to act cool. Violent video games are wrong for children and always will be that is why I say no.

yes

Playing violent video games lets anger out. It helps people to relax and let out all their anger and frustration by killing fake people and not real, living humans. Little kids should only play if they know that the game is not real. Not all people become aggressive if they play violent video games.

Will.i.am

It WAS ALL A DREAM

As I walked to school I could hear loud thumps. When I got to my classroom door there was a big footprint. Then I realized that the school had turned into fairy tale creatures and that all my friends were eaten by zombies. But then all the zombies were eaten by trolls and the trolls were eaten by monsters. Everything was gone except the teachers. We grabbed all the tools we had and started to build a car.

It was a car that could fly and had guns. But hidden in the bushes the monsters were watching then when we finished the car the monsters came out and killed everyone. I was fixing underneath the car so I survived . They were walking around the car and I had to get in it to be safe. The car had a shield around it so the monsters couldn't get in.

I took the shield off and got in the car. I quickly turned the shield back on and looked for the keys but then I saw the keys outside on Mr Burts belt. I had to get the keys and drive the car to a safe place. I looked in the glove box to see if there were any back up keys but there was a sheet of paper showing a map.

At the back of the car there was a robot that could fly swim and grab stuff. It was called Gecko 46. I read the instructions on how to use it then I sent it outside to get the keys. It just started to rain so I flew up and dived for the keys then I drove back just when the monsters could hear the rattling of the keys I shut the door and I flew off but beep beep beep I could hear my alarm clock and I realized it was all a dream.

homeless lady

Rachel had nowhere to live so she took everything she could carry and went out on the streets. All day she begged and begged for food but no one would give her nothing. She didn't know how to play a guitar and the only clothes she had was a large waterproof jacket and a red and black tartan skirt.

Traveling everywhere trying to find cans to take to the metal man looking in every rubbish bin she saw. Some nights dogs ran after her so she had to leave some of her food behind and the dogs ate it all but some nights she didn't mind because she knows how hungry the dogs are having to live like her.

she prays and prays all night wondering when someone will answer her. In the morning she goes out to find fruit she took fruit off trees and ate them she took as much as she could carry and she thanked god for showing her she likes living out on the streets even though she has know where to sleep.  

hat does Easter mean to me ?

WTo me Easter means everyone getting chocolates from their parents kids playing games and having fun. but was does Easter really mean well to Christianity believe that Easter means Jesus died on the cross to take away our sins when they thought he was did they put him in a tomb with a big rock around it and the next day he came back to life.

what I did in the weekends when my aunty came home she had some Easter eggs in her bag she gave me three and they had toys in them I had a car in mine after that we had a Easter hunt it was pretty big we made it go all the way through the reserve.

I found eleven Easter eggs the hardest ones to find was in the tree we had to climb them somewhere hidden in the long grass somewhere just eggs wrapped in tin foil we had a lot of chocolate that day but don't forget what Easter is really about.

school

As I walked to school I could hear thumbs when I got to my classroom door there was a big footprint. Then I realized that the school had turned into fairy tale creatures all my friends were eaten by zombies. And all the zombies were eaten by trolls and the trolls were eaten by monsters. And everything was gone exempt the teachers we grab all the tools we had and started to build a car.

It was a car that could fly and had guns but we didn't no the monsters were watching then when we finished the car the monsters came out and killed everyone. But well I was fixing underneath the car I was the only survivor. They were walking around the car and I had to get in it the car the car had a shield around it so the monster couldn't get in.

So I took off the shield and got in the car I quickly turned the shield back on and looked for the keys but then I saw the keys outside on Mr Burts belt. I had to get the keys and drive the car to a safe place I looked in the glove box to see if any only made some back up keys but there was a sheet of paper showing a map.

fia fia assembly

Wow Gabriel was so good at doing Maori I wish I was up there with him so I could show off my skills. Miss Muliaumaseali'i  ran a show at our assembly about fia fia. Fia fia is like a culture group performance. At the end of this term we are going to have a fia fia. It will be so much fun. Miss Muliaumaseali'i and parents will help to get our costumes ready.

Levi and other people started drumming. While they were drumming Mr Barks started to dance. When he did his own dance everyone started to laugh. After that we heard some very cool people at singing. They were singing 'I believe I can'. 

Next the cultural groups performed. It was so great because in the background was playing opera music. Rita was doing a Samoan performance and Crusader was holding the dragon head for the dragon dance. Towards the end, the Indian culture group performed and they sounded so awesome.
