Trials For Counties Maoris

Yesterday 28th of July my nana and grandpa slept over my house because they wanted to come and watch me at the Counties Maoris training in Pukekohe. We had to be there at 10:00 at the Python club. It was far but it was worth it. When we got there I asked the coach if he needed help and he said “Okay so he told me to grab the cones and the balls” I got them and he told me to give them to him so he can put them down.

Then the coach told the team to run around the two fields twice. When we came back we had to do some stretches so our muscles won't get sore. After the stretch the coach showed us how to do the movement for fitness. After fitness we had a game there were two cones on each side of the field one person gets the ball and tries to score while the other one has to tries tackle the one with the ball. I scored a try and stopped two guys with the ball. It was a lot of fun but when we were finishing the coach told us to run around the field two more times.

When we finished, coach was talking to the parents about how much more than one costs and telling us that we have to stop mucking around.

Today My Life Begins

I recommend "Today My Life Begins" by Room13 from Pt England School, because I think it was very cool the way they sang today my life begins and they were dancing to the beat. It was interesting how they did a drawing about the song when they sang 'I will break these chain to bind me'. It was also funny how they wear wigs and dance.

Painting the Dragon

I was so scared because it was our first practise for the cultural festival. My group was the Chinese group. I was so excited to go because I wanted to see what our dance was  like. It was cool? Miss Chao showed us a video on YouTube of Chinese dragon dancing. I thought it looked hard to do but Miss Chao said that we  would learn an easier dance. Miss Chao asked, "who wants to be a drummer?" Ethan, Greshka, Kryzjon, Celeb, and Arvsheck put their hands up. Miss Chao said that they had to make three beats, the beat that they made was pretty good for their first time playing the drums. Mrs Umol made very realistic  dragon heads. Tricia and some other people helped paint the dragon heads. The next practise  we had to make masks for ourselves. I didn't do mine because I was helping Tricia paint the dragon head. The highlight of my practise was painting the dragon.

Room7 visiting Edgewater collage

On Wednesday, we went to Technocraft. It was my first time going to Technocraft and it was very scary, because I thought that the other kids from other schools were coming too. when we got on the bus , some of the boys went to the back and some stayed at the front. I sat at the back.

When we got to Edgewater college, my stomach was getting butterflies. When we were walking through Edgewater, lots of kids were looking at us. This girl told Gabby to go to her Asian little boy. i was laughing my bute off. We stopped outside the Technocraft building we had to line up in alphabetical order and we were waiting for Mrs Scott, she was a very nice lady.

When we went into the room, Christopher and I didn't know which group we were in. Vitor joined us because we didn’t know what to do, so he helped us out. I Thought we were a great team, because  we worked together and we had a job each. We made the best muffins Mrs Scott said that.We did a good job making our muffins.

When our muffins finished in the oven, we started eating the cheese muffins and it was so nice. Then we gave a cheese muffin to Mrs Scott and she said it was very nice. She said
“well done unit 6”. We tried to give Miss Chao a muffin, but she said “Its okay It yours so you eat it”. Christopher said “more for me”. I said that we had to half it.
 
After cooking muffins, we had to do a worksheet about washing your hands before eating. We had to draw a picture to show how to wash your before eating your meal. We had to do colour our picture in.

After we finished doing our worksheet, we had to give our sheets back to Mrs Scott. She told us “if we haven't finished it , you are doing it for homework”. But I finished mine I gave it to Mrs Scott and she “said thank you “. We said “thank you for teaching us how to make cheese muffins”.And she said “its okay”. Then we had to go through the whole school again, it was so scary. We hopped on the bus and headed back to school.
