Duffy Theatre

Yesterday afternoon a group of people came to our school and performed a theater show. The story was about Duffy losing his words. Next they came from the back of a big book and they told us what their names were.

The show started and the first funny part was when Duffy and Scruffy were looking for each other and they kept on running around and finally they found each other. Next during the show Duffy went to sleep and he saw something in his dreams. Duffy saw a person and he was wearing a helmet and had a scary face, his name was Vautra, he came from the future. When Duffy was dreaming and talking to Vautra about a challenge. During the competition Miss Lovely words won it and Vantra was angry and then Duffy called out Miss RUDE. When she came out we were all laughing at her because she was scratching her bottom and picking her nose.

MeanWhile we were watching how Duffy was wearing his mom's t-shirt called Debbie and then Duffy ent eat his breakfast but he gave his rubbish to Scruffy and he gave his toy box to him but not his rubbish. But I was talking about his breakfast he put in salt instead of sugar and ate it and said yuck  So when Duffy was eating he went to school and Afi saw him and they were talking together. And Duffy found a letter and it was pink and he gave it to Afi to read and Afi was reading the letter funny and we were laughing.

When Afi was reading the letter we helped her with some words that she couldn’t say. After that the letter said that Vantra stole Duffy’s words and Afi and Duffy also said we are going to get your words back because Vantra stole it. Through the Duffy  show Vantra came to Duffy and Afi and said that they were going to have a challenge and when Duffy wins the challenge he gets his words back, but the challenge was a cross words and Duffy and Afi won the challenge and that was the end of the story. Duffy was so happy to get his words back.

After the show they changed back and we asked them some question and Lupe said a little thank you to them and also from behalf of the school and we enjoyed it.

Kids For Kids Recount

Last week on a cold morning we all got ready to go to the Life Convention Center on a bus. The Kids For Kids Concert was at Mangere by the Airport. We were at the Life Convention Center to support the poor people. At the Life Convention there were 15 different schools there with us and the teachers too.

We sang 17 songs but we sang half and then it was break time. While we were eating our lunch Chris called out the soloist people to come up and also the ukulele people too.  A few minutes later we went up on the stage and started singing the second half of the 17 song’s. 

Finally we were singing our last song and our last song was called Poi e. After our last song Dayna came out and asked us what row we were and we all shouted our row number’s and it went up to row 11 and came all the way to row number 1. Meanwhile each row came off the stage and lined up to go back to school.

While everyone came off the stage each class went back to their bus and back to school. When we got off the but we went back to class and Miss G was waiting for us there. We all got back and sat down. Miss G gave us all an Ice block and it was yummy. As soon as we finished eating we went and played in the tennis courts.

Kids for Kids

On a cold morning we got ready to go to the Life Convention Center. In the morning we got onto the bus and Miss G told us that she was going to meet us at the Center. After that we arrived and Mrs Denney got us off the bus. Next we all got inside and sat on the seat. When we got inside we saw lots of schools there. Finally we got up on stage and started singing our songs for the concert at night. Next we started doing some actions along with the songs. After that it was break time and we ate our lunch and it was time to go back. When we got back to school I felt proud of myself.

Filming Reflection

Last week on Monday we started filming our first movie for the Film Festival next term. The Film is for the Manaiakalani film festival. The thing that we used to do the film was making our storyboard and having a camera person to film the movie and actors and also a Director to tell us what to do.

Our film is about Success. In Our Success movie we used goals, sports, music and also subjects. Success means when someone is winning something and reaching their goals to be at national standard. After we filmed our movie Miss G and the Directors put it into imovie and edited the filming.

Next we looked at it and added the music to it and also fixed the mistakes in the movie. In the movie there are the people who are doing their acting. When we were filming I was the main actor and the others were just doing their part too.

At the end I felt happy that we did well and finished it and my group were very happy for what they did in the movie.

Rugby League Reflection

Last week on Tuesday we all started a new sport, Rugby League. On that day Miss G told us if we had any clothes and some of us said yes. After that we went to the field and we saw a person standing there and when we got there he told us his name was Cuma and told us what we were going to do.

Finally we were playing but Cuma said that we were going to play a little game called Simon Says so we started playing. We did some skills work with passing and catching.

Maths Reflection

Today for maths I have been learning about fractions with my group and with my teacher Miss G on the floor. Miss G said that if we were ready to be tested for our skills.

After that Miss G told us to sign our name on the group’s book page and then she told us to go and work on maths whizz for 10 minutes to practise our maths skills.

Today I think I did well in fractions for maths and I think I just need to practices more.

This day has been a really fantastic and exciting day. The whole school loved the mass and celebrating it with a Yummy cake.

Last Friday the whole school celebrated the feast day of St Pius X. In the morning we had a lovely mass and then went to the hall to have a cake. The cake was a banana cake with whip cream at the top. The whole school sang a Happy Birthday song to St Pius X. After that we went back to class and went to go get our morning tea. Eventually we headed back to the hall to do our Jam Bus item practice.

Every class sang their sing to the whole school and we were up next to sing our two songs and they were called Haere Mai and Something in the water. After us it was room 7 and they played a music beat and they all came in together at the same time.

After our Jam Bus practice we went back to class and we did a little bit of work and the bell rang so everybody went to go get their lunch and go outside. Next after Lunchtime we had to line up with our classes and go to the hall because there was a visitor coming to see us. As soon as we sat down Mrs Logan welcomed her daughter’s friend from University and she was a musician who played the euphonium.
