Duffy Theatre

“Yay today we have a Duffy Theatre show”. On the Twenty Third of September after morning tea we had a Duffy Theatre. The Duffy theatre comes to our school to tell us about reading and an experience of acting.

There were three of them, two men and one lady. There was a sign that said Duffy Loses his words.  There was laughter because there was one man wearing a woman's dress and a wig, he was pretending to be a teacher. When this weird looking, evil guy came, duffy is sleeping. Vautre the mean, evil looking guy blows in Duffy’s ears. Duffy moves side to side, and then he wakes up and said “ Whoa, who are you and why are you here?”.  The mean ugly looking guy put a toilet plunger on Duffy’s head and said “this will take all of your great, amazing words and they will be mine.

After a while Duffy was with Afi, his best friend. When Duffy woke up he heard his mum saying “ hurry up Duffy you're going to be late for school”. Duffy was going to take the rubbish out but it had been the wrong box. A few minutes later Duffy said “where is my toys?”. At breakfast he had Weetbix, his mum went off and he said “I will just use some sugar because mum was gone”. Duffy had thought that it was the sugar but it was the salt. He couldn’t read anything because Vautre had taken his words. Finally Duffy and his friend Afi got his words back by tricking Vautre.

When they had finished they gave out three books and a certificate to three students. They took some photos when they got it and when they were acting, it was so cool. My favourite thing about the acting was when the boy put a dress and a wig on. I hope next term they will come again.

My Kids For Kids

“ Yay today is kids 4 kids” I shouted.

On Friday the thirteenth of September it was the Kids for Kids. The Kids for Kids was in Mangere. When me and my dad and brother were about to leave I grabbed my bottle and ran to the car. We went I was so excited. After we had got off the Southern motorway there was for ways we could go my dad said to me “do you remember the way to go?”, “No” I said to my dad. We tried almost every road, I said to my dad  look there's heaps of cars and people coming out of the car with their children”. I looked ”YAY” and it was where we had to go.

We jumped out of the car and walked to the backstage. I told my dad that it was freezing. I quickly ran inside the building. “Wait up” said my dad. I then saw a lot of students with colorful T - shirts and pants, I didn't see anyone in my class. I then saw someone wearing silver sparkling clothes and waving at me, and it was Miss G with a big smile on her face. My dad and brother went to go find their seat. I saw some students in my class like Alecia, Kanesini, Faleaka, Ma’ata, Joanna, Rosalina, Tokilupe, Stephanie,  Seuati, Paul and Manu.

I sat down and there were a lot of crazy students from other schools. When we sat down Miss G let us play with the knuckle bones and the monkey barrel, almost all of us were playing with the monkey barrel. When it was time to go on stage we had to get into a line that we had lined up in the morning. I got into the line with another school and with two students from my class. Next Dayna told us to come to the stage. It was so cool walking on the stage and seeing how many people were there in the audience.

Kids 4 kids Rehearsal

"Whoaa today is the kids for kids".

On Friday the thirteen our class went on the bus to go to the kids for kids. It was a cool trip seeing students from other schools singing. When they introduced them to us I was so excited to see Jackie Clark and Nathan King. We got to sit on the wooden seats we practice the songs and the actions, it was so cool. When it was morning tea we ate and they told us to come back to sing the other songs. I was so excited when we got on the bus to go back to school because we had a surprise. We got to school and our surprise was an ice-block . It was yum!

Filming Reflection

Last week our class were starting to make a movie. We got into a group, we discussed what we were going to do. I was going to be the director, one of the students were acting as the teacher and the other was acting to be a teacher aide, there still was four children left and so they played the students. After that we put it on the storyboard. We made sure that everyone in our group had a part to play. When it was time to film our teacher helped us to film it.

I stood from an angle to see. I then thought what is the movie for and it was for the Film Festival where other schools come and watch films from schools that act out movies just like what our class did. When my teacher filmed it we stopped and told her what part we were doing next. After that we were finished. I sat down with my teacher and discussed where the footage will fit in. It worked and we listened to it with some music and it was perfect. The other groups put their movies all together. When it was all done we watched it all and it was amazing.

Maths Reflection

For Maths this morning I was learning to find fractions and write and read them, our teacher tested us on it. It was very easy for me. I like maths because It is good for me to learn and understand things, like how much things are. My group is called Terrific Triangles. Sometimes I go onto Math Whizz, it helps me to learn Basic Facts, Fractions and lots more. Also I go on to Xtra Maths, it helps me to learn division, plus, takeaways. Math whizz is a website that I can go on. It is sometimes easy and hard. Most of the time for me math whizz is easy and Xtra maths is easy for me too.

St Pius X Feast Day

“Yay today is St Pius X Feast Day” I shouted.

On the twenty third of August it was the Feast Day of Saint Pius X. In the morning the whole school - teachers, family and parents went into the church. Father said Good Morning to everyone, and asked us all about the feast day of Saint Pius. After the mass we went inside the hall to have cake, the cake was a banana cake and was shaped like a rectangle.

Before we ate the cake Miss Tui said “ Everyone sing Happy Birthday”. All the students started singing and then Genevieve and Maxine in Room 7 cut the cake. Some of the girls in room 7 got the pieces that were cut and gave them to us.  When the teachers, staff and students finished we went to go play outside. When the bell rang we lined up in front of the hall.

I was so excited because we were having a concert, we sat down on the mats and were waiting for the other classes to come. Room 1 and 2 stood up to go sing, I then saw my sister Angelyn and Rosrine’s brother holding the microphone. A student put on the music that room 1 and 2 were going to sing. They were singing ‘Doe, Rai, Me’, Rosrine’s brother sounded so good. My sister started singing and was just as good as Rosrine’s brother. “Give a round of applause for room 1 and 2” said a student in room 7.

After their performance it was Room 4’s turn, they were singing ‘Just a single candle’. When they finished it was our class’ turn, I was so nervous. We were singing ‘Something in the water’ and ‘Haere Mai’. It was so scary singing while people were looking at me. Next they said “give an applause for room three”. Room 6 played their ukuleles and sang ‘Mali Mali mai’. Last was Room 7 and they were doing an instrumental and singing ‘Let it go’.

Finally we got to stand up and go get our lunch. It was a great morning.
