MARAE NOHO!!!!!! :D

Last Thursday and Friday the school went in a visit to Te-Poho-a-Rawiri marae for a overnight stay. We did activities on both days. On the Thursday night nui did our kapa-haka routine, so we could get some feedback on it. I thought it awesome and we smashed it out of the park but that's my opinion. I fin kapa-haka really fun and the activities were fun also. On the first day the activities that I did were: Handball, walking, and these log hand-eye coordination games. On the second day I wasn't feeling well so I don't know what activities my group did. Over all the marae noho was fun and it sucked that I spent most of the second day lying in the shade.

EL4 PICK-A-PATH WRITING!!

A couple of weeks back in a EL4 writing group we were assigned a task to make pick-a-path stories. I have already done a post on this and this one is about the finished product. It wasn't hard to do it but it was quite hard to keep track of all the different parts of the story. It is supposed to be for years 2-3 and I will link the pick-a-path to the post. please give me feedback so I will have time to change it before it is shared with anyone else. The criteria for the pick-a-path writing was:

• Construct a text that shows an awareness of purpose and audience through deliberate choice of content, language, and text form.
• Uses a range of text conventions, including grammatical conventions, appropriately, effectively, and with increasing accuracy.

(I don't even know what conventions are/mean) Here is the link to my google form: My amazing pick-a-path!

Speeches!

Today and in the following weeks MLH will be focusing on writing and sharing speeches! I was in the finals last year but just missed the win. Hopefully I will be able to take it out this year. The topic for speeches is 'Hauora', which is the four parts of our wellbeing. So that covers a LOT of stuff. You can pretty much relate anything to that topic so it will be easy to think of a topic! I have thought about it, and my speech will be about why children should participate in at least 1 sport. I think that because it keeps you active and healthy. It also might change the obesity rates in New Zealand. I haven't started yet but I have lots of ideas for it. It will (hopefully) be AMAZING!!! I hope I win!!! Wish me luck.
