Production

I can't wait for Tuesday and Wednesday. Why? Because it is the production this week. I am really excited. It is going to be a day full of , singing and dancing. On Tuesday it is the matinee. What is that you may ask? It is when we do a performance in the day time and when we make any mistakes, we can fix it before the real performance, which is on Wednesday.  The production is called the Peace Child. It's when two tribes, who live on either side of the river, are rivals. Then there comes a reporter, Melissa Moore. She is planning on building a bridge, so she can be famous. The tribes are getting ready for war. When the bridge is built the Wanakeke chief gives is first born son to the Sotongi chief. I am one of the characters in the production, I am the mum of the Sotongi camp. We have to wear black clothes and we are wearing head pieces that have two feathers on the side and three fluffy pomp pomp.  Each tribe has their own colour. The Sotongi  is green and the Wankeke is orange.  We are also wearing these belts, and it is in our tribe colours. We have these streaks on our checks. It is really cool. I am really looking forward to the production.

Cross Country

I was so excited, I couldn't wait till it was the year 6's turn. It was finally our turn. We lined up. I went through my plan again, sprint as soon as they say go and when nobody is behind me I would stop and have a rest, and then when someone is behind me I start running again. When the horn went off I followed my  plan. My goal was to beat Vika one of the fastest girls in my year. I was a bit behind, I thought I would lose this race. But then I thought never give up and I was running with the girls in the front. I tried to go in front of the girls which were Dinah and Vika. I beat them and I was coming third. My mouth felt dry and my heart was beating faster and faster every second. I sprinted again and then it was between me, Fifita who was coming 2nd and Ambalika who was coming 1st. 
I was doing really well, I was following my plan. I was nearly at the finishing line. My mouth was really dry. I really wished I drank water. Vika was catching up I sped up she went in front of me I sprinted even faster and I was once again in front of her. I was so happy. I ran till I was about to finish. I was coming third I was going to complete my goal, but then Vika went in front of me. I was so tied I had to give up, I was dizzy I needed a drink. I had to give up. I didn't complete my goal I came 4th. But I was very happy that I was close to winning. So I am still proud of my self. 

Jack And The Beanstalk

Jack And The Beanstalk

Hi I'm the big giant and I have an big and very pretty lady, my wife.  Anyway, so you think that that’s how the story of Jack and the beanstalk goes, well it doesn't!.

I will tell you how the real story goes, so get comfy and listen up.

Once upon a time there lived a boy his name was JACK sorry I just get cranky when I say his name.

Anyway, let me start this all over again.

Once upon a time there lived a boy called huh mm jack.

He lived in a cottage with his mom, they weren't rich at all, I'm telling ya, they weren't rich at all.

One day Jack and his mother didn't have anything to eat, so Jack’s mother said “Jack go sell Milky White”, so you may be wondering who Milky White is, it was their cow.

So before I tell you the rest of the story I just want to say that they are selling their cow!, I mean it’s just crazy they could keep the cow and maybe Jack’s mother could go get a job, so now that I let my thoughts about how crazy they are, now I can tell you the rest of the story.

So Jack did what his mother said, Jack went to the town to sell the cow.

While Jack was on his way he saw a guy and said “where are you going”?.

And the man replied “I'm going to the town.”

“Me too” said Jack

“And what may you be selling young lad”.

“I'm selling a cow” said Jack.

“Maybe you should give me that cow and in return I will give you 5 magical beans” said the man”.

“OK” said Jack.

And they swapped.

Jack came running home and said “MOM, MOM guess what I got”.

And his mother guessed, “is it gold”.

“Nope”said Jack, It’s something even better”.

“ There’s nothing better than gold, I give up” said Jack’s mother.

“It’s 5 MAGICAL BEANS, ISN'T IT GREAT?

“NO IT”S NOT GREAT LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET MONEY IN RETURNS.

So jack’s mother said “go to bed without having supper”! she was really angry, really really angry.

So Jack just threw the beans out the window.

Ok really I feel sorry for this kid, but not for long.

When it was early in the morning, Jack got up and looked out the window and guess what he saw, never mind don’t guess,  I wanna tell you what he saw, he saw the way to get in to my castle, let me guess, you don’t know what that means, well it means the beanstalk!.

So he went outside and climbed the beanstalk, remember how I said I feel sorry for that kid WELL I DON'T ANY MORE.

So he climbed up MY BEANSTALK and he saw my castle, he was walking  toward it and he entered it and asked my pretty lady for some food and I wasn't there.

So my wife gave him some food and I forgive her for that.

So he ate and I came and he hid in the oven and when I entered my house I said fi fie fo, I smell blood of an Englishman.

My wife said “Oh it’s just the delicious soup I made for you”.

And I forgive her for lying, what, what could I do.

So I ate and I fell asleep and you know what that creep did he stole my gold!.

He went and he showed his mum the gold he stole which was mine.

And his mother was happy, she didn't care if he stole it, and he came again he stole my chicken and then he came again and this time he stole my harp and my amazing harp called me saying “master master”.

And I ran after Jack and you know what he did, he called his mum and said “MOM MOM BRING THE AXE” and he cut it and and I died of course and Jack and his mother were living happily ever after, with all my stuff.

You must be wondering where I'm telling you the story from, well you should have guessed I was telling you my perspective from heaven I could have be in hell but I'm not because I obviously didn't do anything bad.  

So Thank you for listening.

From the big giant.      

THE END                       

           

  

   

Basketball Session 2

This week Tuesday was the second day for basketball. The tricks we learned was to dribble and to control the ball. We had to warm up first, obviously. Then we had to got a buddy, me and Masiha were buddies. 
Masiha was first with the ball and she had to dribble the ball with one hand and she had to look up straight ahead. I was holding my fingers and showing Masiha some numbers. She had to say the number and dribbling the ball the same time. Next it was my turn. I was really excited to do it. The ball went wondering off at times, which was really annoying. Do you have any basketball skills? 

I can't wait to go to the next session so check out my blog next week to find out more. 

Basketball Session 1

Here is some tips on basketball. 

On every Tuesday we do basketball. Before we start doing something we have to warm up and when we are warming up we have to jog around. We also practise some of the skills. In basketball I really enjoy doing the games, it's really fun. My next step is to try really hard and try to achieve the skill we are learning. Here are some tips  you might need for basketball. When you are running you need high knees, but kicking, rolling the ball around your head and when you are doing that you need to use your finger tips and rolling it around my tummy. I learnt new skills on how to play basketball.   Do you enjoy basketball? What skills do you `have?
