Excellence Evidence Librarian 10

Librarian

On Monday I had Librarian with Samantha L, Samantha W, Monique, Xanthe and Isabella.

First we went to the library and got a few books and a couple of bean bags. Once we had got these we walked down to the junior area.

When we got there Samantha W, Monique and Xanthe sat down on the deck while the rest of us went around asking little kids if they wanted to listen to a story. We found a few little kids so we directed them over to the deck.

When everyone was there Samantha W started reading. She was reading a Barbie book. All the little kids were really respectful and everyone enjoyed the story.

When we were done we returned the books and bean bags to the library and went out to lunch. (What I did).

I showed Respect by listening to the reader.

I showed leadership by role modelling what I wanted others to do.

Excellence Evidence Kapa Haka 10

Kapa haka, Cultural Festival

On Tuesday I had the cultural festival for Kapa Haka. 

First we had a practice at the arena in the afternoon. We practiced our transitions onto the stage and where we are going to sit and stand. We had 9 minutes to do this.

On the night we met at the grass patch outside the arena. While we were waiting the girls had to put on headbands, lipstick and the year 8 girls had to put on the feather earrings. Once we had done this we entered the arena and sat down in our spots.

We got to watch most of the performances as we were the last group to perform. When it was time for us to perform we walked quietly to backstage and formed our lines. By this time everyone was getting nervous. All of a sudden it was time to go on.

The performance went really well and we all enjoyed it.

I showed Excellence by representing Oaklands school positively.

I showed leadership by being a role model to the younger students.

Here is a video of our performance

Excellence Evidence Kapa Haka 9

Kapa Haka

On Friday I had Kapa Haka. We started early so we would have more time to practice.

First I walked respectfully down to the hall and took my shoes off in the hall foyer. Then I entered the hall respectfully and sat down in my spot. When everyone had arrived we started warming up our voices.

Once we had done this we went through our cultural festival performance.

The first time was a little bit quiet but we improved from there.

We stopped a few times just to fix little things. When the performance was just about perfect Mr Brown asked the senior staff (principal and deputy principal) to come watch.

We sang as loud as we could and did the poi and raku really well. The staff thought we did really well.

After this we were allowed to leave.

I showed Respect by transitioning to the hall and back quietly.

I showed leadership by doing the actions up the front.

Excellence Evidence Kapa Haka 6

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.

Kapa Haka

On Friday I had Kapa Haka.

First I walked respectfully down to the hall and took my shoes off in the hall foyer. Then I entered the hall respectfully and sat down in my spot. When everyone had arrived we started warming up our voices.

We sang He Honere and Pa Mai.  Once we had finished singing these songs the non performance group went back to class. Then Mr Brown told the performance group that we were performing at the school open day in a couple of weeks. We found out that we will be singing He Honere and our school song Taitapu.

To practice these songs we lined up the way we would when we're performing. We ran through Taitapu a few times and then we moved onto He Honere. When we were singing this we kept going sharp so we practiced till we got it right. Once we had we practiced Pa Mai.

As many people didn't know the actions a few of us had to go to the front and do the actions. I was one of the people picked. We went through the song until everyone knew the actions. Once they did we ran through our Cultural festival performance.

The songs in this are Hareuia, Tahurihuri, Taitapu and the Haka. (What I did).

I showed Respect by transitioning to the hall and back quietly.

I showed leadership by doing the actions up the front.

Technology on the bus

Every Tuesday the seniors go on a bis to Lincoln Primary School for technology.

On the bus I showed the CARE values by......

Community: Being aware of others when we got on the bus by not putting my hand out to block people and not shoving others out of the way.

Active Thinking: I was one of the first on so I went to the back so when the last people got on they wouldn't have to walk all the way to the back of the bus.

Respect: I was talking quietly to the person next to me and I thanked the driver both times I got off.

Excellence Evidence Kapa Haka 3

Kapa Haka

On Friday I had Kapa Haka.

First I walked respectfully down to the hall and took my shoes off in the foyer. Next I entered the hall and sat quietly in my spot. When everyone had arrived we started singing our school song Taitapu. We are working on singing louder and with more pride.

After we had gone through the song a couple more times we split off into groups and they were short poi, long poi, raku and the Haka. I had to go outside and practice long poi with the rest of the year 8 girls.

When we were  outside we practiced the poi. We made a routine and everyone got to have a say in what they thought should be in it as long as it was appropriate.

When we had got the routine sorted we practiced as a group. We realised then that we were all changing to the next action at different times so we practiced when we were going to change. When we were doing this we all got confused because there was no beat. To solve the problem we asked Matua Rihari to come outside and play the guitar.

After that we went back inside and practiced transitions until Kapa Haka was over. (What I did).

I showed Excellence because I was being resilient in the poi when we were all changing at different times.

I showed Leadership by helping others in the poi

Excellence Evidence Kapa Haka 2

Kapa Haka

On Friday I had Kapa Haka.

First I walked respectfully down to the hall and took my shoes off in the foyer.

Next I went into the hall and sat down in my spot. When everyone had arrived we started singing. Once we had warmed up we practiced transitions. Once we had done that we worked on the poi and raku.

The year 8 girls went outside and practiced the long poi. We practiced our routine and that's when we realised not everyone can do all the actions so I took them away and taught them. When they could nearly do it we returned to the group and continued practicing. We did this for the rest of the time. (What we did).

I showed Excellence by being resilient when teaching some of the girls how to do the actions.

I showed leadership by teaching some of the girls the poi.
