Turungawaewae Festival
Why we have the Turangawaewae Festival.
We have the Turangawaewae Festival because it celebrates all the cultures of our school.
The other reason why we have the festival is to raise money for the school.
What I enjoyed about the festival.
I enjoyed the hot chips and the fishgame and bouncy castle.
Hobo Stoves
On Tuesday 6th of March
Room 3 made pikelets.
I grouped up with Alana and Charlotte.
We had to get some sticks and twigs
to make the fire and the we got Mr T
to light it of course. Then we got the mixture and
put it on. It was fun as we got to put our own on and we were
allowed to flip it with the spatula as well. My group got to have three
each. They were so good.

ROCK DA HOUSE!
A few weeks ago rm's three and four joined Rock Da House also known as choir. The band The Peasants are very good. You can watch them on youtubeand they are very very good. the songs I enjoyed are Eye of the tiger and the avalanche song. Yesterday when we had a practice at the Memorial hall and I felt very nervous. My thoughts after the show, I was just so happy it was over because I was very nervous. How it all went, I thought it went really well and Mrs Kenny was really happy. How the soloist performed, Jason & Makayla performed fantastic and the other soloist performed really well. How the audience liked it, I thought the audience really liked it and they also joined in during the yo'delling song. How I felt about the evening, I was so happy how we did.
