Kapa Haka
On Friday I had Kapa Haka.
First I walked respectfully down to the hall and took my shoes off in the foyer. Then I entered the hall and stood in my spot.
When everyone had arrived we warmed up our voices. We sang He Honere. After that we sang Pa Mai. I thought it sounded better than last time so we are making progress in this song.
Next we went through our performance. The first time we were really quiet but Mr Brown said if we did it really well next time we could leave early. The second time we sang much better and could go. Our performance routine is getting better as well. (What I did).
I showed Respect by listening to the commands.
I showed leadership by being a role model.

We read a range of texts and evaluated them against four key criteria.
These were.....

My CARE progress
CARE
The one thing that I can do to improve my progress in CARE is finish my SML every week and focus on my learning.
I have done a check of my CARE progress so far this year.
I am proud of my progress this year as I have reached my Bronze.
I am quite far away from my Silver as I have just got my Bronze but I'm trying really hard to get more ticks.
The area of CARE that I need to try harder in is Community because I need to offer to help a little bit more.
To achieve my BRONZE/SILVER award quicker I need to show all the CARE values and work hard in my learning.

Kapa Haka
On Friday I had Kapa Haka.
First I walked respectfully down to the hall and took my shoes off in the foyer. Then I entered the hall and stood in my spot.
When everyone had arrived we warmed up our voices. We sang He Honere. We sang it in normal pitch the first time and a higher pitch the second time. Next we sang Pa Mai. I thought it sounded better than last time so we are making progress in this song.
Next we went through our performance. We timed how long it took this time and it was 6.45 which is good because it had to be under 8 minutes. Our performance routine is getting better as well.
Then we were allowed to go. (What I did).
I showed Respect by listening to the commands.
I showed leadership by being a role model.

Music
W.A.L.T: I can describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place
Over the past 7 weeks I have been learning to describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place.
I can describe these characteristics in a piece of music…
Form- The structure of the song or how it's put together.
Rhythm- A strong or regular repeated pattern.
Melody- The part of the song that gets stuck in your head.
Harmony- Major harmony = happy song, Minor song = sad song.
Timbre- What makes the song unique.
Here is an example of my learning

Kapa Haka
On Friday I had Kapa Haka.
First I walked respectfully down to the hall and took my shoes off in the foyer. I entered the hall and sat down in my spot.
When everyone had arrived we started warming up our voices. The song we sang was He Honere. Once we had sung that we sang Pa Mai. The person that usually starts the song wasn't there so the year 8 girls had to do it. We didn't do it well so the year 4 girls got a turn. Mr Brown said if they did it better we had to do shadow poi for the rest of the practice. They ended up doing it better but then the year 8 boys wanted a go starting so they got a go as well. Again they were louder. When we had finished doing that song we ran through our Cultural festival routine.
The first song is Hareuia then Tahurihuri and finally our school song Taitapu with the Haka at the end. In Tahurihuri we did shadow poi because Mr Brown stuck to his word.
After this we practiced our performance for the open day. The two songs we're doing are He Honere and Taitapu. We ran through these a couple of times then we were allowed to go. (What I did).
I showed Respect by listening to the commands.
I showed leadership by being resilient when we had to start Pa Mai.
