Pracicte

Since Last week the kapa haka group has been training to go to the Kawakawa cultural festival. We have been training every lunch and morning tea. We have been learning to emphasize our words and use facials. The whole group has been practicing a new haka for our performance this Friday. I can’t wait till this Friday because I know I’m going to have a good day.

Marble Challenge

Last week in Te Ngahere I have been learning about variables. In Te Ngahere we had to create a marble ramp to give to another group to test. What I did well is working well with my buddy and listening to what she was saying. What I enjoyed was test day because I was so hyped up when the marble went 110cm. If your marble went 110cm you would get 5 points which was the most to get. When my buddy and I were creating our ramp our goal was to make our marble roll 110cm. If you didn’t know what a variable is it means when you change something to alter your results.

Tai Tokerau

On a sunny school day 7 special students from Kapa Haka roopu got picked to go to Tai Tokerau at Whangarei Girls High School. When I watched a few groups perform I learnt that I should use facials more when I perform or even when i’m practicing. What I did well in the hall was being a good audience, listening and not chatting to the people next to me. What I liked was seeing everybody having fun and what I like about the groups that perform was their good acting, discipline, facials and enjoying them self.

Spelling

In Te Ngahere I have been learning my spelling words. What I did well based on my spelling is rewriting the spelling words I was practicing. What I enjoy is getting them right because it makes me happy. What I could do better is working harder on the words I need to learn. The reason why we were learning our spelling is because we finished our basic facts and we need to move on and learn more.

Problem Sloving

On Monday Te Ngahere was learning how to solve problems about Anzac Biscuits. What I think I did well is repeating the same thing that my group said to me so I understand what they did. What I enjoyed was making a DLO at the end of the problem solving. What I could do better next time is remember to always collaborate.
