On the 5 of August at Hosanna church we preformed lots of language dancing. Junior Samoan,Cambodian,Senior Samoan,Normal Maori,Maori and Cook Island it was fun but it was scary to at the same time it was like I was about to have a hard attack.
When I was getting ready to preform I felt like a jelly coming out of a fringe I was so scared that I started getting goosebumps.
When we did the sasa we were communicating so we could look like a army doing the same move at the same time.
I can learn the dancing moves fast and I also can respect them by doing what they say and do it at the same time.
I was scared that I was going to get the move's wrong and ruin it for all of us.but then I thought about it and than I said to my self I'm doing It for my culture and family not for others.
I was happy that I didn't ruin it.Before the preference I did a little prayer and I think it came true.On the stage I was turning red it felt like I didn't know the words and suddenly I had tomato checks.
At the Marae on Thursday we had kapa haka out side the marae. It was a fun time because everybody were doing the same action and because we were at a real marae and talking to the gods and showing who's boss. After kapa haka Kate Collins talked us though the rules of the marae then we had morning tea.I had alot fruits like banana,apple's and kiwi fruit. After morning tea My group did planting with Alicia and Penny we also painted on rocks to decapitate the plants and make the plants stand out for the marae.
Then we played a cool game of kio-rahi. My team was using alot of team work that's how we won the kio-rahi at the marae. When it was lunch time we had soop and bread it was yum. then after lunch my group had mine-craft group we had to make a marae with mine-craft.
In Writing I am learning how to write a narrative story, so I can entertain the reader.I cankeep them hooked in my story by using interesting words and descriptive language so they can see my story in their head. In Writing also got better at using full stop in the space's and using other punctuation such as comma's and speech marks. In Writing it hard to connect the setting,character,problem and how the problem get solved in the end. I can start my story really well but then in the middle my story can sometimes get confusing. I find it hard to think of a good ending. I need to keep working on this and trying hard to get better at it. My next step is to write different kinds of sentences to make my writing more interesting.
I am going to achieve my next step by looking at how authors do this in their stories.
