Cultural Festival

On Saturday we went to the Cultural Festival. First I did my Irish dancing which was fun and tiring. We had lunch then got ready for our Kapa haka. Both times I was very nervous before I went on stage that I might forget what to do or that we all might forget what to do but we all did it perfectly!! It was a long, hot day but it was fun and worth it! 

Cultural Week

Last week was Cultural Week! We all went to different 
 classes to learn about different cultures. I did Japanese. On Friday we performed a colour song, head, shoulders, knees and toes in Japanese as well as a Sakura (Cherry blossom tree dance). I learnt a lot about Japan as well as other cultures through watching their performances. I hope we have just as much fun next year as we did this year. 

Mini BB Fair

Yesterday was the Mini BB Fair (Mini Books and Baking Fair). It was run by the school council to raise money for a mural on the power box outside the office. The baking was sold for 50c and the books were around $1. The baking was very delicious and the books were very good! My favorite part was eating yummy baking and browsing for books to buy. I wish we could have another Mini BB Fair!  

Grandparents Day

Today was Grandparents day! My Mum's, Mum and Dad came. In the morning we went to mass, then we enjoyed a lovely bake sale. In the afternoon we watched some performances done by the juniors, the ukulele group and the choir. My favorite part was the bake sale and performances because we could enjoy time with our grandparents and watch some fun performances. I can't wait for Grandparents Day next year!

My Speech

On Tuesday I said my speech to the class. I was the second person to say my speech. I was not one bit nervous, I was very excited!! When I was going up to say my speech I told myself to not forget a thing, use expression and make eye  contact. I felt like I did just that! Now I need to sit back, relax and wait to see if I'm in the semi finals!!!

Bully free NZ week

  

During Bully Free NZ Week we had a chance to wear pink and donate some money to stop bullying. We wore the colour pink because it stands for peaceful, inclusive, noble and kind.
