Kapa haka 

It was 8:15 as I rushed through the school gates, I ran through the hall and grabbed my bodic(Kapa Haka Dress) to get changed into.I plucked a feather from the pile and politely asked my friend to place it into my hair/half up, half down. Rushing to get my moko I realized that I would be first in line as I was the only one there. 

  It definitely was a disappointment that parents could not come and watch us according to level two but there still able to see us on line, we are videoing. Once the bell rang we headed into class before heading to the hall. It was thirty minutes before the actual kapa haka started but it gave us a good amount of time to talk to the people next to us. I had my friend Maggie next to me, which was cool.

Then a man started setting up a camera on the wire, he was the recorder. the next thing that happened was him saying go and us heading into out first words of the song,U TAINA.Once that was finished the other songs took place.And then we were done.

Kapa haka was great this year, and we will even have a bigger audience. But then we were going to see a green team play so we had to get unchanged.And that was how kapa haka was for me.                                                                                                                                  

THE FLOOD!!!

I wrote a narrative about the flood that happened in Gisborne. Even though it is not finished this I would Like for you to see it.

Dawn was breaking, I ran downstairs and switched on the T.V.

I was about to press the little green button when...

A deafening sound started rattling the windows. I sprinted to the curtains and yanked them open.

When I saw the Appearance I completely forgot about the T.V. Thundering down was a huge downpour, Each drop made the water level rise even more. Making the balls float around the soaking wet lawn lawn like bouys.

Just then I heard a loud crash, My other two triplets Ran out from our room, We decided that we would go investigate the crash we had just heard. 

   That is the end of it for now.I really hoped you enjoyed it and by the way it was made up.

MLH Speeches contest

MLH Speech contest!!!

It is getting closer. So close I could almost smell victory, And when I got in to the judging I was sure they were going to pick me to be in the finals. Then they would give me first, second and third.

Hi, I'm Bridie, And just to say I have been listening to someone say that over and over as soon as speeches got put out there as a challenge. I am not one of those people who Brags and is selfish. I am more one of those people who Celebrates people when they win.

I am so excited for MLH speeches this year. We only got Three weeks to plan, write and practise though, so mine is definitely not the best. What I like to keep in mind is that a lot of people are not comfortable sharing in front of 61 kids and two teachers so I like to cheer them on and make them believe that everyone is there to comfort them when they need help.

I hope that from this if you are getting near speeches when you see someone that has trouble sharing or gets stuck on one thing cheer them on and give them comfort so they believe in themselves to.  

Thanks  for reading.

Athletics for the athletes

 ATHLETICS For the ATHLETES

Whizz!!! Juniors were sprinting towards the finish line. As they ran past I saw my best friend's little sister neck to neck with another kid, Possibly, Her best friend.  Amelia was in the lead but  then when the finish line came into sight the girl overtook her and flung herself over the finish line. I was happy for her but I also felt a surge of sadness for Amelia, Ecleast she was 2nd. 

While that was all taking place the next group of kids were lining up and getting sorted into rows of 6, I think. Meanwhile My other best friend, Millie was shouting, AMELIA CAME SECOND,AMELIA CAME SECOND!!!  I was going to say something but... At exactly  the  same time the starter clap went of So all my Attention was drawn to the starting of the runners. I carefully watched as on person overtook the first one and then the one that was coming third passed both of them and so on. Soon there was on big human clash.

As soon as the last group had finished running I looked at koka Leah  so she could announce what was happening  and only then I noticed what she was wearing, A bright colourful helicopter hat. Another teacher was wearing the same as well. I thought that the hat was pretty cool. It actually made me feel excited for my turn doing all the things such as high jump, long jump, sprints and ball throw. 

 

When all the athletics was done I decided that I would pack up my stuff and go put my bag on my hook.I  walked of telling people how well I did and how good my results were in total , I was proud that I tried my best and I couldn't have got better results.

I would like it if after you have finished reading this you will give me some feedback so I can make my blog better.

Thanks for reading.
