The Ned Show!!!!

In week two we had two special guests come to our school. Their names were Ned and the Amazing Nicole. They came to our school to tell us how our brain works and about Mindset Mission. Ned stands for N Never Give Up, E Encourage others and D means TO DO YOUR BEST. We all learnt that instead of giving up we needed to keep going and Nicole said use the power of Yet!!!. Which means I can’t do it YET but don’t give up. Nicole presented some tricks through her show she used an Excelerator (the excelerator is a very cool yoyo it is an yoyo for professional but you do not have to be professional to buy one). She did so many cool tricks like around the world and other cool ones. I really in enjoyed ( even though I was late) the show was very interesting. Bye

Kapa Haka Cultural Festival

Date: June 6 Seven days ago, the Paihia School Kapa Haka Roopu had finally performed at the Kawakawa Cultural Festival, We had a great time. Over the past 2 weeks we were practising very hard to pull off our performance. I can't wait till next time because next time I think the Kapa Haka Roopu could improve a bit more on a few things like completing a full bracket and sharpening our moves with the rakau. Our tutors are to going to teach us boys (in the roopu) how to harmonize while the  girls are singing. We all had an awesome time together as a roopu. Blog you later 
 Here are some photos from seven days ago.

Kapa Haka

Kia Ora Bloggers, for the past few weeks our Paihia School Kapa Haka Roopu have been practicing for the Kawakawa Cultural Festival. 

Our Roopu have been learning a new bracket and we also have been learning to use the rakau in the Haka and our Entrie. 

We have to practice being on time, make sure our volume is good, stay on key and most important of all is to focus and stay disciplined. We practice mainly every lunchtime, as part of our warm up we have been learning how to warm up our vocal cords. Sometimes we sing with the guitar and without. 

I enjoy doing kapa haka with my friends and I like the discipline because when we don’t listen to Matua Pep aka my dad he will make us either do press ups or go for a run then when we finish every body is tired and does want to listen to Matua Pep My Dad is a very good kapa haka teacher and I also like that he is may dad.
