Fijian Haka cib

First of all we are doing a dance that is cultural to Fiji and used before rugby games and after rugby games. We have our certain parts and actions that we have to do. We have been practicing it and then we will perform it in front of the class. Another dance that is in our group will be performed by 2 people . The meaning of the Haka was to inspire themselves before a rugby game or celebrate their victory. It is also a rememberence of when they were in war with their pacific neighbors. It was made when they were vs New Zealand and the captain thought of a Haka to compete with the All blacks.
The Haka goes like this.

Ai tei cibi.                                                                                          
Ai tei vovo, tei vovo          
E ya, e ya, e ya, e ya
Tei vovo, tei vovo
E ya, e ya, e ya, e ya
Rai tu mai, rai tu mai
Oi au a virviri kemu bai
Rai tu mai, rai ti mai
Oi au a virviri kemu bai
Toa yalewa, toa yalewa
Veico, veico, veico
Au tabu moce koi au
Au moce ga ki domo ni biau
E luvu koto ki ra nomu waqa
O kaya beka au sa luvu sara
Nomu bai e wawa mere
Au tokia ga ka taserev

Athletics Day

On the 9/11/16 our Athletics was on. We started with Long distance which I didn't do because I was not allowed. Then we went to high jump which I am ok at. Me and my friend Cole were the last two to jump over the pole. When had morning tea why I mainly played around on the hurdles.

We had to go to the shot put which I hate doing because I am not good at it. I got the shot put half way so I got a 2 out of 4. We went to go do hurdles which I like doing. I raced first and won easily and got a 4. Then it was lunch. I had championship finals which was Sprints and Hurldles. I had to do sprints then hurdles right after.

The gun went off and the top 8 were running which was me and Cole. We were right next to each other with 5 meters to go. It's over Dom Dom you won. I won by 0.07 Miller seconds. Then I went to hurdles and raced the other top people. I was tired when I started the hurdles so I had some problems winning but I still got second. So I get a gold and silver medal and also go to inter school an cvs people from other schools.

Those were my main highlights for the athletics day until I felt like I was gonna die. Cole and I a good friends so I would thank him for being a good sportsmanship and knowing the fact that I beat him by I tiny amount.

My dog Oaklee

My Dog is a half poodle half maultese. He has been with me ever since I was born. He is really awesome and he sometimes plays with you but he gets exhausted quite quick. He's fussy with his food but he will eat chicken from KFC.

His name is Oaklee but we usually call him oaks. He always mucks around and hasn't got very good senses like are dog is really suppose to have but he still gets around well. In human years he is 11 turning 12 which is a reasunable age for a dog but he is going to live for another few years.

Learning at school

Learning at school is different from all other schools. How I learn is mainly on technology. We use certain devices and websites to communicate and work together. Our teachers trust us to what we do so it is our fault if we are being a idiot not there's. They set us with tasks and we finish them in the time that we need to finish them in.

We use a website called classroom which is connected to a little program called fast track we use fast track to show that we have finished something and when we have finished something we put the link in so the teacher can see what we have completed and If we put an honest effort or not.

We have different spaces tha we learn in. The hangout which is where you can collaborate the hub which is the main room. The hall of fame which is a side corridor in the classroom where you can work and the silent room where you can complete tasks and learn in peace with silence.

The way we learn for me is the best for us because we learn more from technolog and the tasks that in a book but this doesn't mean we don't use books

The best game ever

We headed out to the onga onga golf course for a game of golf. We arrived at the golf course it was all to ourselves to play. We started on the number 1 hole with a bright orange ball and a tee to whack off.

The game had started I had whacked the ball half way down the course and it was right in line of the flag. Everyone else had went and we finally got to the hole. We all putted the ball in after a few hits. We skipped the number two because there was a car parked right next to the flag so we chose not to risk it. We finally arrived at the last hole and a friendly dog had come to meet us. That dog was the owner of the golf course so he merry decreed arround the course.

We finished with a great putt by me. We mucked arround but finally got some food and went back home in Hawkes bay.

Safety cyclists

On the 2nd of November Constable Matt came to teach us the safety rules about riding on the road. first he went through the rules of riding and where you need to ride and what you need to do when you are in certain situations.he started to teach us about what to do when you are at an intersection. If you are in a T intersection the rule is the top of the T goes before me. Then we started talking about how the round about rules are like always give way to your right and look before you choose to go.

Hand signals were next. We got taught that if you wanna stop raise your hand and stop the bike to tell the person behind you that you are stopping. If you wanna turn left stretch your arm out to the left then make sure no one is coming from your right then go. If you wanna go straight put your arm to the left then when you are in the middle put your right arm out to the right. If you are going right do the exact same for the left just for the right side.

Finally the good stuff happened. We got on our bikes and Matt had set up three intersections for us to practice on with 15 others. We played around using our knowledge so we wouldn't crash in a round about or an intersection. Personally it was fun until i got the freaks when me and van almost collided because he didn't see me put my hand out so i had to put the brakes on before he crashes straight into the bike. I personally think that this was for our safety for when we are older and biking on the ride or driving in a car.

Its good to know these rules

The tale of the quail and the owl

This is the tale of the Quail and the Owl

written by me.

Once upon a time there was a big wise owl. He lived in the forest. He had a little friend which was a quail. They always use to meet and attack prey like other birds and lizards. They fight quite often but they are still friends.

The quail lived on a farm but visited the owl every day. They always met at this humongous log. The farmer was once out counting the quails at a different time and that quail had left so he waited for it to return and then he was going to chop his head off and have it for dinner.

The quail wasn't watching so he waddled his way across the farm until he saw the farmer in front of him with Shotgun aimed at his head. The quail ran as fast as he could away but the farmer was shooting at the quail. hopefully though the quail knew where he was going so the farmer wasn't able to follow him into the forest.

The owl heard the gunshots and he woke up looking for his friend at the log. The owl was asleep in the log which rolled down a hill into the river he tried to break free but his wing had been damaged and the quail was lost in a different part of the forest where you could hear the roar of a bear as if it was about to eat me.

Fly fly there was a squirrel in the tree signaling to move .the quail couldn't respond but it was too late bye then an eagle with a beak as shiny as gold and wings and fast as a cheetah moving through the air. The eagle picked up the quail and glided its way up to where it's nest is to feed his baby Eagles.

The owl is flapping with all its muscle which is a big as a bean but yeah. He finally completed his way out of the log but he has never recognized where he is so he flew up to find that he is as far away as one side of wellington to the other. He chose to constantly move until he found the bright side of the forest. The quail tumbled down to find that he was near the owl because of the shadow sneaking behind the old broken tree. The owl and the quail found each other and followed the river so they lived in the forest for the rest of their lives.

Best holiday ever

We are off in the air leaving New Zealand to go to Australia for a holiday. We waited for three and a half hours untill we had finally arrived at Brisbane air port ready to start the journey of Australia.We went through the check in and grabbed our bags. We had finally left the airport to get a rental car so we can drive up to Gold coast. We arrived at the Gold Coast and settled in at Alexandre break free resort. We all went straight to the pools out the front.

Day 2 was horrific. I got sick so we just chilled and then we went to movie world and had some fun for a few hours but then everyone was tired and sweaty with drops off water falling off them because of the heat. We got back to the resort and went to the pool for the night then got out at about 7:00 got dinner then went to bed. 

We woke up at 3:00 in the morning because in New Zealand it would be 6:00 so we looked real weird in the morning making noise while others are sleeping.

Day 3 was on the boat for whale watching and as soon as we got on I wanted to get off . I was sick I didn't even see a whale and what was worse is it went for 3 and a half hours.

Day 4 we chilled because everyone was tired until the night time when we went to a pub where kids eat free and I won the draw for a game so I got to shoot a guy at the pub then win beer for everyone shot so I hit him 6/6 so I won six beers for my family 

Day 5 was the Eu,undo markets which was where I got my crystal and my boomerang. We waddled around for the day then went to the beach in Nosa and played in the sea until we wanted to go back to the resort.

Day 6 we stayed inside chilling until dinner came around because we had fish and chips and we went to a restaurant where I played pool with an Australian kid for a few hours until we had to leave because it was 9:00 which would mean 12:00 in NZ.

Day 7 we were off and ready to leave Australia. We arrived in NZ feeling good.
