Poly Fest Day

Hello everybody as you can see I have wrote three good paragraph's about Poly Fest. Poly Fest was fantastic and next year I want to go there again. I have learnt so much from Polly fest and got sweet as things from there for free isn't that cool. I hope you leave me a comment and thank you for viewing on my blog. Have a nice day.

Yesterday in the morning team five students went to Poly Fest. When we were in the bus I was reading a book and the cool kids were at the back of the bus giggling around with Mr Wiseman and the nice kids were in the front of the bus just talking.

When we have arrived at the Manukau Sport Bowl area ( Which is where the Poly Fest is held at. ) we had to wait until Mrs Tele'a's class, but actually they came before us and was already in the Poly Fest so we  had to wait for them for no reason. By the way when we got in we walked over to this big ASB thing and we had to sit down. When we were sitting down we had a special guest come and it was John Key. It was a big surprise for everybody.

Poly Fest was so cool because we got to go to different station's and every time we go to different station's we sometimes get free stuff. At Poly Fest I learned what is a 3D Printer is. Poly Fest was awesome I hope next year it will be more awesome.

Poly Fest

Kia Ora, talofa lava, malo e lelei, faakalofa lahi atu, kia orana, bula vinaka, namaste and greetings!!  It’s Pasifika week in Aotearoa, this means it’s a week long celebration of all things Pacific.  This includes the birthday dance we had with Mrs Tele’a!  Part of the celebration is the Polyfest!  This Thursday we are planning to travel to Manukau to take part in some workshops and then visit stages.  The two stages we will be visiting will be the Maori and Diversity stages.  Did you know that this event - the Polyfest celebrates 40 years since it’s beginning?  Awesome isn’t it!

Young people and their whanau participate this event because they may want to know how to dance in their culture. Or maybe they want to know how much fun it is to be on stage and to be watched by people.

The things that the performers go through with every time to make sure it looks amazing is:
1. Concentrate
2. Focus
3. Don't waste time
4. make sure to remember the dance every time.
5. Confident

Promote is when other people want to know what to do to know how to know other cultures.

Mrs Tele'a Birthday

Today was Mrs Tele'a Birthday and in the morning we had a little party. Here is a recount I have wrote about and a little movie. I hope you enjoy please leave me a comment. Thank you.

Today is Monday, March 16, 2015. In the street at 8:30 am in the morning the bell rang and all team five students and team five teachers had to go into the street to have assembly. When Mrs Moala was telling us what are the things that we are doing today she told us it was Mrs Tele’a Birthday and she said when Mrs Tele’a comes back from a meeting we straight away start singing Happy Birthday to her. As soon as Mrs Tele’a came back from the meeting we sang Happy Birthday to her and Miss Peato got the two girls that did the mihi to give Mrs Tele’a a small chocolate cake, red wine and a packet of lollies.

After that we finished our assembly and went back to our home class. We had a few minutes at our home class until we had to go to our literacy class when we went to our reading class’s I saw Mrs Tele’a going on youtube and searching for a Samoan music for something, but I didn’t know what she was going to do with the music. All of a sudden I heard a samoan song playing and Boys from the street was shouting chee huuuu!! and I saw Mrs Tele’a dancing and some of the boys dancing too.

All of the year seven and eights students left their work behind and started watching them dance. I saw one girl called Yanquasia, but we call her Quasia for short anyways she wasn’t shy enough to dance for Mrs Tele’a birthday a few minutes she was dancing and the she stopped and Miss Peato came in started dancing and then Mr Wiseman came in and did his cool as moves. Then The party was over and we came back to our work and carried on.

Mrs Tele’a Birthday was so amazing I hope for my one to be like that.

Assembly Award

On week four I got a assembly award because I got caught being good. When I went up and got my certificate and stood on stage I was so nervous, but felt happy I got an award. After assembly my classmates and I sat down on our own chairs and Mr Wiseman said why I got the certificate and this is why I got the certificate I was looking after the class room. Every friday somebody in each class get's a certificate and in our class when somebody get's the certificate they get to take home a monkey Moscow which is like a teddy bear, but it's a monkey and it's name is Maurice. When we take it home we have to take pictures of him and when we come back with him on Monday we have to make a blog post about him in the weekends. Here is a photo of Maurice.
