Kapa Haka 2021

 Last week Moana syndicate performed our Kapa Haka bracket, but because of Covid restrictions we couldn't perform to a live audience so we videoed it. 

We started with Utaina, a song about paddling your waka and that song was lead by Zoe. That was quickly followed by Ka Waiata a song about Mary, Jesus mother. Then E Rona, lead by me, that was our Poi song. Afterwards Zoe and I lead Ka Panapana and during the middle of Panapana the girls walked to the back with the boys walking forward. Max and Stavis then lead the Wainu Haka and to bring the the girls back to the front Koka Sue played the starting part of Toia Mai then Zoe and I lead that together and suddenly it was all over! Suddenly all my nerves were gone and I could look forward to the intermediate interview I was going to have that afternoon! 

Green Gold Reflection day.

 On Tuesday WBS had their Green gold reflection day. WBS is an Enviro school and there is different levels of Enviroschools, Bronze, Silver and Green gold. Green gold is obviously the highest level so far so it was a big deal to try and get that level. 

The day started off with a powhiri for the people who will see whether we could be a Green gold school, but of course because of Covid the whole school couldn't participate so only the front rows, some extras and the Enviro team came. After the powhiri the Enviro team gave there presentations as Izzy and I presented ours. It went really well! Ours was about the school pepeha. 

After all of the presentations we gave them a tour of the school. This took quite a long time so it took us to lunch. We went to Hamanatua for a picnic lunch and we got to eat the leftovers of the Quiche and bacon and egg pie ! Then we went back to school to start working on the guiding principles of Enviroschools. There was pieces of paper that had sentences of them like, 'The guiding principles enrich our daily routines', and then we would put sticky notes on the pieces of paper with examples of this sentence at school.  At the end we voted whether the sentences described WBS and we voted that all of the sentences described WBS so the judges said that we are now a Green Gold Enviroschool !

Lockdown Learning. Again !

 I have been doing lockdown learning for a week now. LL ( lockdown learning ) is almost the same a last year, but instead of just having whole class google meets we have been doing Maths, Reading and Writing google meets. At some points during the day I feel bored, even though there is so many activities for us to do. Speaking of activities I have been doing some Duolingo and I have been learning Dutch. Dutch is very similar to Flemish, the Belgium language which is were my Dad is from.

Aurora Drama Performance.

On the twenty third of June, Ella, Alice and I performed a play that we wrote with the other Aurora drama students. The play was about Whirikoka and his seal Oioi. Ella was Te Marama, the moon and she got to do  dance with Anoura and Grace. Alice was Te Kumi the Taniwha with Celia and Lilla. I was Oioi the seal. 

I was so nervous before the play my stomach was cramping up. Everyone else was nervous too, but we ended up having a really great show ! 

Kawa Of Care

WBS has a set of rules that go with using a chromebook at school, we call those rules Kawa of Care. 

There are many different categories in Kawa of Care, but Ivy, Kale'a and I decided to make our poster about how to store your chromebook.
