Kapa Haka

I walked on to the stage awkwardly walking like a penguin.The stage was so cold I felt as though I was standing on an iceberg in a snowstorm,then it was all silent until I heard the squeak of the certan it sounded like a giant mouse was about to enter the hall.The nerves hit me,I wanted to sink into my own world and disappear, but all I saw was the audience glaring at me and giving a round of applause.

“Hopi! Kiraro! Hopi!"   Wairua Tapu started my nerves shredded away,Automatically my body started doing and the actions and my voice sang out .Kids voices from tautoro echoed around the hall just like my voice it sounded like birds singing there rhyme in the morning then it all stopped I looked at the audience as Tengara Koutou started my spirits where high swaying my pupu swayed with my actions once again the actions stopped all the voices went down I heard commands for the poi  then year five girls ran out in front I was going to the front nervous but I survived,then I heard fierce voices I knew it was the haka,the boys flicked there legs out like fierce worries my eyes flickered around like a moth to the light doing the actions swiftly and doing the pukana,we stopped we folded back then the curtains took the show as the round of applause faded. A wave of relief washed over me.I walking away grinning with happiness.

If I could do it again I would stand tall and sing louder.

My Reading Snapshot

By the end of Year 6 I need to reading fluently. I want to have the confidence to adjust (by rereading, slowing down or focusing on the most difficult part of) my reading when I come across difficult parts. Here is a snapshot of my reading.

I think I am good at:

Rereading when I come to hard words, stopping at punctuation and changing my voice  to make my reading sound interesting.

What I want to improve on

is being confident reading harder stories with longer sentences

Teacher Comment: Great work Gabrielle, this can now be posted to your blog. Would you like to do a picture to go with it?

I believe that we should be able to bring our personal technology to school such as ipods,ipads,tablets and cellphones.

The reason why I think we should bring devices to school is because it will help us with our learning. For example, we can download learning apps that we can’t use on the chromebook at school like maths games such as IXL. Added to this when it’s raining we can come inside and play on them.But when we go home we can use them as well. We can Teach others how to use new technology.

Another reason why we should be able to bring our own devices to school because it is not the kids fault that they don’t have a Chromebook so the kids can still learn if they don’t have a chromebook.For example, kids that have no chromebook or work to do they can use the ipads or tablets instead ,so that they can do some learning as well. Added to this everybody can access the class site .

Therefore, in summary I think we should bring devices to school because kids can still learn the same thing if don’t have a chromebook and we can downlaod learning apps that we don’t have on the chromebook.This is like going to rainbows end and you can’t go on any of the rides and you just have to watch.So would you like to not learn the same thing as the class.
