Waikowhai Intermediate School

WAIKOWHAI INTERMEDIATE DRESS REHEARSALS

Hi blogging world, James here. Today we had to blog about the show that we went too yesterday. The theme was 'This is Me'. A teacher said there were dances, drama and music that shows celebrating differences, diversity and personalities that are us. There was Kapa Haka, hip hop group (Street cred), 19th Harmony, Band (Midnight souls), Choir (I Tunes), contemporary dance group and the Pacific Island Mix. There were other schools that came to watch the show that Waikowhai Intermediate put on. They were May Road, Halsey Drive, Hillsborough, Marshall Lang and some of the classes from Waikowhai Intermediate. I was so excited because I was running around outside. Our school bussed down to Waikowhai Intermediate that they payed for.  In between the items were monologues. Monologue is when one or two people say something about their lives or about the show. 

There were 8 monologues. The first one was the rap that a girl from the Kapa Haka sang. The second one was about the Sibling Rivalry by Theo. The third one was about future Jobs by Izzy who used to come to our school last year. The fourth one was the Asian stereotypes said by Borneo.  The fifth one was the Tip Toe Walking Girl said by Love Day. The sixth one was about Afghanistan by Safa about changing schools at New Zealand. She also used to come to our school. The seventh one was about a musical by Brook he sang about his life in different musical songs. Then Ms Peach came out and was conducting the song that they rehearsed for like about three terms. 

Here is the link to the Waikowhai Intermediate site https://www.wai-int.school.nz/. If you would like to see them go and buy a ticket from the Intermediate then you can see all the awesome groups that has a performance. My favourite part was when the street cred was dancing because they were com-binding other dance moves and putting it into a dance.

RUGBY ZONES

🏉🏉🏉RUGBY ZONES🏉🏉🏉
Hi blogging world. James here Last week we went to rugby zones to represent our school called Waikowhai Primary School. We only had 12 players and we only had one team. We played 6 games the whole day. The possession I was a full back and a winger. The props where Tipiloma and Sebastian. The locks where Cassie and Calai. The Hookers where JD and Dazharn. The 1 rower and the second rowers where Richard(Captain) and Emelio. The wingers and centres where Jordan and Torian. 

We played hard against all the teams we versed. Two teams were the most easiest  because most of them where small. When it came up yo our third game it was the hardest game of the day because Most of the people were fast and I could only catch up to only two people. I was very tired chasing them when everyone misses their tackles. I enjoyed playing rugby with my friends because if we weren't in teams I would have let them score the tries to make them win. 

At the end I was sore because I was tackling and running to hard and pushing my self to the limit. I was even tired I nearly walked into a pole because I was that tired. I fell asleep in Mr Riceman's car because all the music made me tired. When we got to school I was very tired but I had to do the Samoan dance for our production.  I really tried my hardest at the zones because I wanted to experience rugby union because I was thinking of playing union next year so I can become a All black.

OVERALL WE CAME SECOND FOR THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT. BLOG YOU LATER.

NED SHOW

                         NED SHOW

Hi bloggers James here. A few weeks ago a visitor came to our school to tell us that we can all be champions at something. His name was Micheal he and his friend Ned came and told us that everyone can be good at anything. While Michael was telling a story about Ned not coming to our school he used different yo yo's to help him show us what it looked like. We were not excited because we thought that it was all about education and what we can do when we are stuck on something. Michael told us what Ned stands for he said that N stands for never give up, E stands for to encourage others, D stands for do your best. Michael was funny because he made weird noises and do weird dancing moves.

Michael said that we could be champions at anything if we be Ned. Michael wanted us to close our eyes and think of the things that we can be better at in school and put them into our heads so we can remember it. Michael was trying to make us laugh but I didn't laugh until he said if you adjust the yo yo this big you need to see a doctor. Michael told us a story about his friend Ned and himself because he thought that it might be funny to tell us a lie about them going to space and talking to aliens. The juniors actually felt for it and some of them faked laughed because they didn't care about the story they cared about the noises that he made.

At the end Michael said that there will be yo yo's up in the office and you can order tomorrow or the next week. All the classes started talking about getting the yo yo's then Ms Sands jumped up and said to give a paki paki to Michael and Ned. When we got back our teacher told us that we only have to get one if we had the paper to order. But I was confused because I really wanted to get the boomerang and I didn't know that we had to get the paper so I brought the money but they said I had to have the paper

I think I did really well listening and learning that anyone can be a champion at anything. I learnt heaps about achieving my goal. I can get better at maths if I do some maths before watching TV or going outside and playing kicks with my brothers.
