Choir concert day

Hello there bloggers!

On the 26th of November we had our choir concert at the Town Hall, after months of practise. We had to be there at 6:45 pm not am and it ended at 10:00. We all were really excited and we all were talking and yelling, some people were screaming and running. We were told to sit down and just whisper and listen to the instructions. We then were put into lines and were put onto stage we then were buzzing with excitement and some people waved at the people that came to watch them. We also had a kapa haka, music and violin groups in between our songs. When it finished a choir teacher came up and gave a speech then we were put into the supper room. My favorite song was The Phantom of the Opera, I was really proud of my self for not getting scared about going and I felt really excited for what I was about to do. What an amazing night.

High jump

Hi there Bloggers!
Lately this week we have been doing High jump to practise for our Athletics Day. We had lots of fun the middle school and the seniors both had separate times to do high jump at break time. Some people like me were able to jump 1.09 I was told to sit down once because I had hurt my foot, I then watched my friends do the other jumps. Then Bjorn did the High jump  by himself while we were eating our lunch. He jumped 1.50 and we all cheered him on.  We do this rotation that is Sprints, Long jump and of course High jump. Sorry I couldn't put on photos. Bye blog you later! (P.S I will try to add photos)

Choir rehersal

Yesterday we went to Oratia District School for our final choir rehearsal until the dress rehearsal. We first did a third of the songs a lot of the times we had to practise them again because something was wrong. When we came back from our morning tea we then did another third, this time we had to do some again more then last time we then got a drummer for the song called "The Eye of The Tiger" so that made it be more fun and also last week we got a electric guitar player for the same song. When we finished our lunch we did the last songs and also practised ones that were in need of more practice. Then we went back to school we had free time. Then we went back to class just in case.
Sorry I had no photos.

Choir

Choir

Hey there Bloggers! 
It's Rio here.
Yesterday I went out to our Choir rehearsal and we had both B and A sides.We practised at Waikowhai Intermediate. When we went inside we set up the hall for all the schools. When we were done all the schools went in. While we were waiting for Mr Lambert to get ready some people were chatting while I was reading. We sang and practised the songs that had something wrong or needing practice. When we had our break time we played touch. When we were called in we sang some more songs and I almost fainted I was taken outside and I recovered. I went back inside and I sang the songs that they were doing or what was left of the songs. When we finished we packed up a bit then left we said thank you to Waikowhai Intermediate and went back to school. On the way there we played on Molly Green's playground. When we went to school we played on the playground a chillaxed then the day was over.

Cross Country day

 Cross Country 

last week on the 11th of september we had our Cross Country fun day. The year sixes lead all of the other years in separate groups each station was fifteen minutes. We first went to the obstacle course where the groups have to go through obviously an obstacle course we had to help them go through. Then we went to the warming up before we went to the run we were cheering on the students that were running while warming up. After that we went to Mrs Sands to get ready for the run we had to run with our group because some of the year sixes in our group were away. When we were finished we went to the relaxation area where the our group of 0-1 girls got there cake and ice blocks. Then we went to the kicking goals and the year sixes were the goalies and the group are the kickers we had to help them learn how to kick and aim. When that was done we went to our final station the skipping we all had fun and learned some skipping games. Then the year sixes went to Mrs Sands to do our run we did to laps of the run and then we went to the cake sale and got our cake and Ice Block combo (if we ordered them) then we all had lunch and played for the rest of the day...

My camp experience at mt Ruapehu

MY CAMP

Hi there bloggers! I am back from my -4 Celsius camp I'm sorry I never told you about this but I had an amazing time there.

Day 1

Before we left we got into our group lines and then we went into our buses then after we stopped for a break at Hamilton Gardens. There we went on a search for things around the garden, the fastest people to do it and do the most right will get a prize, our team just wanted to do it fast so then we came third which we were fine with and then we waited for all the other teams to come back.

Then we went back onto our buses then after another hour and a half we went to Otorohanga walkway to do another hunt but this time we split up and wrote down the answers, after we met up we gave in our papers we had lunch. After we went to Otorohanga memorial park then we went off to the bus again. Now this was our final break then we would arrive to the crossing lodge it was...Taumarunui school we were allowed to be there because we were given permission by the school. After an hour or so we went to the bus to finally reach the CROSSING LODGE! When we arrived we all went to the dining room and were told all the rules, then we had dinner had a shower and brushed our teeth we went to sleep.

Day 2

The next day we went to the mountain we got our rental gear from the rentals and put our boots on. Then we went to Happy Valley having a snowball fight, then we went on the Sky Waka and went sightseeing. Then we went back down and had our skiing lessons. Then we went back to the Crossing and had a shower got dressed had a bit of free time, then we had dinner after that we had some more free time and some people watched a movie while others were playing pingpong then we went to sleep.

Day 3

 We woke up and got dressed into some of our ski clothes, then we had breakfast then we put on the rest of our gear and set off for the mountain. We had our classes straight away and we all were allowed on the chairlift. Then we went into the cafe and had lunch, then we had free time for one hour. After that we had to go but then we were held up because there was a car crash caused by someone going off road because of the ice on the road. When we finally reached The Crossing lodge we did the same routine as yesterday we had free time then went to sleep this was the last night we were going to be there.

Day 4

We went and dressed into our long pants and long sleeves then had breakfast and set off back home. We stopped at the hot pools in Taupo we had lots of fun and also had american hot dogs. Then we went back on the buses  we went to our next stop at Huka Falls for sightseeing, then had some colour group photos. Then we went to our last stop until we reached school we went to Hamilton Gardens for a short lunch break and also school photo. Then we went off to school we reached school and went home.

Holiday narrative

Hi bloggers!!

In the last few weeks that I have been at school we did a narrative based on our holidays. We had to exaggerate it though so then it could be more exciting. If you want to see mine look down below. My narrative was about my tennis club and the sun exploded and all the lava was going to engulf the earth.

I was excited at first when they said that we were doing a narrative but when I found out we had to base it on our holiday I was disappointed but then I started doing it it turned out to be a lot of fun. I can't wait till we do another.

MANUKAUS ASSEMBLY

MANUKAUS ASSEMBLY

Hi bloggers today we had our assembly. We did a play it was called Mayhem on mars. It was about kindness, it was really funny. When we first started we were very nervous because we went  in front of the whole school, we relaxed once we got under way. When we got to the hip hop part we all got on our hats and started dancing it was very embarrassing but we went through it without stopping. I wore a hat that I used for last years production. My favorite part was when we did the play. If you would like to see some photos look down below.

I hope you enjoyed these facts about our assembly. Until next time! BLOG YOU LATER!

My reading work term 2-3

Hey there bloggers  in term 2-3 I was reading a book called Bow Down Shadrach when we first read the book we found it quite interesting because it was about this girl and a horse she loved very much. But when she found out that shadrach was sent away to a dog food company she went off to get him back.

We did three pieces of work on it if you want to see here it is↓

I thought it was a great book because there was a lot of action and exciting parts and I hope you enjoyed what I have showed you.

Until next time! Blog you later!
