Caylee 5.11

Yesterday I went on a bus to El Rancho with some of my friends.

We went to El Rancho because we did our kapa haka there.

When I was singing I felt nerves after our performance

we went back to the room where we got changed then we

changed back into our clothes and then we had something to eat. After that we went to the park and had some fun then we went back to the hall and watched the last couple of performances.

On Monday I went to Kapa Haka.  I performed in front of people.  My favourite part was the haka that we did because I liked how we did the pukana.

Yesterday I went to Kapa Haka because I signed up for it.  Then we went to get changed back into our normal clothes.  It was embarrassing because we had to get dressed in the hall and there were no toilets. We had an awesome time.

TANIWHA

This week we are going to read, write and count TANIWHA!

Here are our creations on Kidpix - Maths number stories...

Some of us had a go at making taniwha books on the ipads - you can't see it on here, but it was loads of work.  We had to take photos, import them into book creator, type our story and change our background.  When you read them on the ipad, you can even turn the pages.
