So I got ready and (By the way I was a dead of the dead person)... And I went to the disco and it started boring but when it got dark we started to dance a little and then we were having the best time of our lives. In the morning of November the 3 on Saturday I was sick and slept in until like twelve and I had Wananga, A Wananga is a big sleepover but not we had this Wananga for our kapa haka and its like... I can't really explain it but yeah I also went to a birthday party so that was great. I got their late and I had a normal night like always but just the kapa haka training. We did that for Sunday to and went home at 5pm. I was tired and I also hurt my leg at kapa haka. So I didn't go to school on the Monday because of my knee and then tomorrow I have an oppiment for my knee to see whats wrong with it at 10am so that means we have to get up early YEAH...(Sarcasm) And even worse I have to go to Whangarei. But I get to go to school after and yeah thats it for now you guys should try the 20 min writing challenge. It was really easy their was no hard part.

Today we had our Halloween Assembly it was awesome we performed some dance items and also we sang a song. We had to create some masks for your dance we were dancing to un poco loco from COCO and bring some costumers to our Assembly. The hard part was probably getting up and dancing in front of a crowed because I'm not really a dancing fan. The easy part was singing the song because I felt comfortable preforming in front of everyone cause our class was singing.

 

Maze

Te reo selfie

For the past week I've been working on my te reo selfie movie, it's a movie where you speak Te reo Maori and explain who you are and what you do. For example I had to say something I like and then translate it into Maori. I put everything into a Imovie and edit my movie and run over it so their was so mistakes, The hardest part was recording and editing and uploading that was really stressful because on top of that I had to do my art and another movie we're currently making so yeah. The easy part was I'm just going to be honest nothing, nothing was easy at all because you have to plan what your going to do next and what sentence your going to say, you have the sentence on lock down and not looking at the screen. I think this activity was the hardest thing I've ever done in primary. But over all I loved the experience and helped me to get comfortable around a camera. That's it I hope you like my movie comment if you can. I hope you enjoy my movie👍👍

FUN RUN!!!!!

Last Friday we had a fun run race where you run through mud and courses. For me it was fun because we had a mud fight and we went for a swim.

We had to crawl under a cargo net which was fun. The day turned out great and I had a fun time probably the best Fun run I've even did. Here are some photos from that day. I hope you like the photos:) By the way we got ever muddy...

The hard part was trying not to cry in the videos that we had to watch for the answers to the questions, It was really hard because seeing animals that didn't make it because they ate plastic that made them sick and slowly dyeing from the plastic that made me really sad and teary. The easy part was answering the questions because I really understand the question and the video. I need to work on reusing plastic that can be reuse and start to recycle.

SEA CLEANERS

WE HAVE A RUBBISH PROBLEM!!!!

Today for my post it's not going to be about my work but about our rubbish. Our rubbish is causing so much harm to our planet and animals that lives on our land and in our sea. The reason why I care so much is because I want a better future that is bright and clean for our next generation. My teacher gave us a talk about how bad our rubbish is and I agree. Here is a fact In 1975 the National Academy of sciences estimated that 14 BILLION POUNDS!!! Of rubbish was being bumped into the ocean every year. That's more than 1.5 million pounds per hour sad right but that's not even the worse part.
Here look at these pictures show below.

                                       (These are beaches that have rubbish everywhere)

Horrible pictures right. That's why we need to do something about it instead of sitting on our butts and on our technology. We need to start recycling things and picking up rubbish. Comment down below what we should do to keep our planet clean.

No, I wouldn't be in such a big family max would be about 2 or 3 because having a big family will stress your parents out and having to share room's with 2 other kids I would be annoyed. Having to do 9 to 7 times the washing who would do so much washing right and getting lunch ready for school and that's why I chose to not to have a large family. I already have two little sisters and they are enough.
