Hinerangi's Writing sample...

Athletics Rotation
On a sunny day team 3 had to do 3 rotations for our writing test.  Rm 11’s first game to play was throwing. When it was my turn I tried throwing the handball so far but it didn’t go past Chastyti's tennis ball. My teammates were Daisy, Jorelle, Naomi and Indiana. They were the best teammates ever because they tried there best by throwing their hardest. Bang went the clambering bell I was so frightened because it was pretty loud for me.

The next game we played was Basketball and I really liked that game because it was very fun. The funny bit was when Amelia tried shooting the ball into the hoop but the ball got stuck on top of the hoop. All we had to do was to try and get the ball in the hoop. It looked very simple for me and easy because all we had to do was shoot, shoot, shoot for a long time until the bell went again. One more time bang went the bell sounding like a bongo drum going through the air.


The lucky last was the Incredible jumping game was the Sack race. The part that I really liked about it was that we had to try and go around the cone but I got really frustrated when I had to go around the cone twice. My teammates were Chastyti and Naomi plus myself and we took turns of going twice.  When Miss said on your marks get set go everybody were looking at Amelia jump really high nearly up to touching the sky. I felt really huffed and puffed because I had to go back and forth twice. I tried my very best in trying jumping high like an enormous giant.


My favourite game was Basketball and the sack race. The sack race was really funny because 4 in a row fell down in the sack. I really liked those 2 games because they were both funny. When we did the throwing we had to try and throw them far but we had to try and have different things in our hands to throw. Our games were really easy.





I felt very happy and awesome because it was fun in all the games we played.

I  also felt very proud of myself because I just tried my very best without giving up on myself.

Leo Mousini was wearing a orange coat and a black hat when Leo started performing in the circus he did lots of different tricks like a hand stand on one arm and a cartwheel. When Leo Mousini did his handstand and his cartwheel he started to get really dizzy so he got really old and he had a back pain. When Leo Mousini walked home he felt very tired and very sad but he still had time to walk around the circus once. When Leo left the circus he got really old and traveled back home. When he got home he saw to little mices hiding in his hat. The two mices names were called Mitzi and Mack. The two mices were cute and funny The mice had asked Leo in a quiet voice if they can learn some magic tricks off Leo Mousini.

Kapa haka

JPEG ImageLast week friday there was a special kapa - haka performance happening in front of the whole school. I was very excited when I got on the stage because when I got on the stage I  became very happy. Miss Whaea Saph and  Whaea Pari taught us how to sing special waiatas from their own culture. Learning with them was lots of fun and they brought their son and cousin in to learn some more about kapa-haka too.

Whaea Pari’s son was called Falcon and he was only nine years old. When Falcon appeared  from the stage he was very excited as well. Falcon’s  dad’s name was called Matua Arts he was Whaea Saph's cousin and Falcon was Whaea Saph's nephew. As soon as he came in the hall he was really shy because he saw a lot of people in the hall so he didn’t go on stage.



When all the kids were in the hall we started performing our 2 waiatas called the haka and Aue Rona.
We all were performing those 2 waiatas in the hall but the first thing we did  was that we learnt waiatas from Whaea Pari, Matua-Arts,falcon and Whaea Saph. They were the only ones who taught us  the 2 waiatas so that we learn lots of special waiatas. So in the hall Matua-Art, Whaea Saph and Whaea Pari came to see what we were up to. Suddenly we all became very happy because everyone who taught us how to do the songs had come to the hall to see if we get it right. If we hadn't have gotten it right it would of been a big rush.


Lavonna was the one who lead the haka and Esther was the one who lead Aue Rona. The reason why Lavonna lead the haka was because she had the loudest voice in the whole kapa-haka group. Esther lead Aue-Rona because Whaea Pari told her to lead it and because she had a beautiful voice. . .

MATARIKI. . .

An Important event for the maori new year is all about a very Important traditional celebration in new zealand. During this time a cluster of seven sisters appears in the night sky. There are two different stories about Matariki and One is the seven sisters, the other is the many eyes.

Tawhirimatea was distraught because  Tanemahuta had separated his parents from being together. His parents names were Ranginui and papatuanuku.  He was frustrated as he hurled his eyes to the sky that he made lovely  seven stars.

At late may or early june a half an hour before dawn rises, Matariki ends in july and is seen in the northeast of new zealand. When you wake up before dawn and look in the direction of northeast you will see it.

Matariki is the end of harvest were you gather all your crops. There is also a migration of fish also you can  remember your old ancestors.

There are many ways to celebrate Matariki some of them are to have a hang i, fly kites,tell stories,have a gathering to have a feast and to sing and dance. Sometimes our family always dances and sings along.


There are various ways to celebrate Matariki. Some of them are to fly kites and have colorful fireworks. Sometimes you can have concerts and have special events sometimes I would wish to do some of those stuff all day long I. Also I could see people on hot air balloons and to have special events for anyone.
