Term 4 has been one of the funnest terms this year because it's when we did most of the sporty events this term & it's been so fun starting surfing! Surfing was my favourite event for the year because it's a way to have fun on Friday mornings & to get better at surfing. Athletics was also super fun because you get to have fun trying to get first & you get cheered on alot! The bad thing about athletics is that EVERY YEAR i've been in Ziggy's races(he's the fastest kid in the school(maybe)). It might be because I am pretty fast & they might want it to be a good race!
This is my 100 meter sprint.
This is one my 200 meter sprint.
Another fun thing term was the Kapa Haka festival because I like singing & it's a fun way to have fun with your friends. It's also a way to express your feelings because singing is fun. Haka is strong & can also tell stories like singing but Haka is more for the men & singing is for both men & women. I am doing my Waka Hoe after I finish this blog post & I am getting through it really fast! A Waka Hoe is a Waka paddle that the Maori used to paddle their waka(boats) to get from place to place or to get food to different parts of the country.
This is a photo of us at the Kapa Haka festival.
Culture city is where you have a certain amount of time to finish your work so you can go surfing. You have to finish 1 paper doll & 1 timetable about the culture you chose. The topics on the timetable are Drama(how they tell their past), Visual Arts(what their art is), Dance & Music. The paper doll is basically a white gingerbread man that you have to decorate to make it look like what the culture your doing wears. The culture for the term were Maori or Aboriginal, Maasai or Egyptian, Thai or Indian & Mexican or Cuban, I chose Maori, Maasai, Indian & Mexican.
