Kapa Haka
Neke ma.to the. the kaia said and the first song started with great clarity and volume. It was Kapa Haka time and we were recording our performance in our hall at Wainui Beach School. It was nine thirty and we had just started.
Green Team Proformance
The first character stepped out onto the stage. It was crayfish, and two others followed. It was Tuesday middle block, and we were in the Illiminster hall. A group of kids, who we apart of a group called the green team, were performing for us.
As I said before, the first character to step out onto the stage was a crayfish, two others followed. It turned out that the first character out, was the character who was playing the part of a granny called Granny Kora. They started the play with the finishing of a story. Then after the to other crayfish begged for just one more she gave them three kitchens, two of which I forget but the one that they chose was the time Granny Kora saved the world from aliens. Once the story was chosen the real play began.
Just after the two crayfish chose the story one of them left to play another part. As that happened the Granny had started to tell the story. As she was telling the story some people came into the play, they were meant to be acting out what happened in according to the story, and it worked like a charm.
As the play carried on some aliens came and dumped rubbish in a skate park, that was actually a painting in the play. The aliens dumped the rubbish in the the after which some kids did the same thing. They even dumped a perfectly good robot.
In the end of the play, the kids, they got the robot to call the aliens and meat the crayfish. She looked like their all powerful queen so when she told them to go they left with their trash.
That was the Green Team Performance

EL3 SPaG
In EL3 SPaG today koka pip wanted us to make a rectangle out of paper using separate squares with words on the edges. The words on the edges were each half if sayings and we needed to put the sayings together then if we did it all correctly we would make a rectangle and on the outside there would be words that didn't belong to sayings and those words would be the clue in a ongoing murder mystery.
We started by cutting out the squares. The we put them together, and as we, I meen me and a kid named Prince. After a little bit we thought we were nearly done but we kept running into problems. I thought we should be doing three by fore not two by five we ket doing it two by fore.
Evenchily a group that had help from a teacher and there whole group finished first, then one second later another group finished two and that group was big. Somehow it turned out that we did have to do three by fore, so I was right all along. One we started with three by fore we finished really quickly.
Then we wrought the clue down and crossed off the people on the suspect sheet.

Simple order opirations
In my Level 3 Plus math group we learned order of operations these operations work along the lines of BEDMAS. B for brackets, E for Exponents , D for Division, M for multiplication, A for addison and S for subtraction. Then in the odder of bedmas you do the question. So if their brackets you do them first then you would go to exponents and so on you don't follow the odder of the numbers in the question.
After we learned that, we went onto doing lots of questions to make shore that we understood. Their was one hard one and our teacher had to look at the instructions to figure it out. Once she explained how to do the hard one we finished the others.
That was my math workshop in simple order opirations.

Gold Mining Alliteration
At school, one day last week had to make up some Alliterations for our speech. After our teacher explained what they are, even though we already knew, we we started to make our own alliteration. a long time of trial and error I figured out a pretty good Alliteration. Then I asked my teacher if it was a good one or not and she said that it was good so here it is.
This is a gold mining alliteration

High modality words
Today at school, in one of my classes we learned about high modality words. Learning about them were fun because after we new what words they were we were able to make a word cloud out of them, which is when we pit lots of words in a list and then when were done we got to watch as the words made a cool picture.
Now I have to explain what high modality words are. High modality words are words that mean you completely believe in in what you are saying. They are used to make the people you are talking to believe in what you are saying is true. High modality words are words like must and I know. They are words that you would commonly see is persuasive text. They are words that leave no room for argument.
I hope that I explained what high modality words are. Bellow there are some of the words.

Green gold
This week on Tuesday my school had some people to come to our school to see if we were good enough for green gold. That day after the bell rung we all headed to class. All of us except for the kids going to t welcome some new students to school. While they were there we made some leaves to go on a wall. we already had some hanging down from a tree and we had to write some stuff about our sustainability and stuff. those were hanging down from a tree while the ones we were doing now were going on the walls.
What we had to do was using the picture we had chosen we would write about it and why we put it in the category. The problem was that I hadn't been there when they did it so I had to team up with someone.
A while passed and I had no partner until Filex came he had been there when they did the pictures so we worked together. We planed for the writing but before we could write the draft the people from the welcoming ceremony came back.
Now that they were back it was time for us to go on a walk to the beginning of the stream in our school Pepeha. After everyone had gone toilet and had there bags with them, sitting on the deck, we started walking.
Ten minutes passed on the road until we got to a farm. A teacher gave us a safety briefing. Directly after we got on the farm we had to cross over a stream. It was our schools pepeha steam when it was small. Lots of people got wet as they crossed over.
When that chaos was over we walked till we got to a nice picnic spot. There we had branebrack for ten minutes until we arrive at the, what we think is the end of our school pepeha river.
On the way back I thought how I was happy we were going back and how I had, had a good time.
To top off the day at the end we scored green gold
