Term 3 Reflection 2020

                                                                   Term Three Highlights

This term my class Te Kinga has been mainly focused on the Kapa Haka competition. But because of covid 19 we didn't get to perform with the other competitors. We learnt heaps of new songs including Toia mai, Ko ti whirika, and some other songs too. Our teacher Whaia Nic even made her own song "Aha Koa". We recently had to remake our poi too because they kept breaking as we were using them every day. 

Though the kapa haka was our main focus we still did lots of other stuff too like speeches we made at the start of the term, and the maori, legend cut out landscapes. We also did some science experiments because a scientist called Judith came to our school to help us with that. At the start of the term we also had cross-country which we had at our school because we were still in level 2, but the people who wanted to do the west coast, cross-country went to the Kumara race track to do that the following week as well. 

We also had the year 7 and 8 disco during week three or four as well as pet day a few weeks ago though we weren't allowed to bring pets because it was still level 2 then.

One of the best highlights of term though was the Rippa Rugby unit. Our class was split into four different teams and we had matches against the other teams. We all had jobs in our team too. There was the Stats person and the coach. I began as vice captain but after someone in our school left I was captain.
