Te Rau Pou Manawa O Kawakawa Kapa Haka Haerenga.

On Tuesday 31 tamariki traveled down to Tainui, Hamilton to go and support Te Rau Pou Manawa O Kawakawa. It took us all day to get down to the marae. The marae that we stayed at was Te Aratiatia marae at fair field college. As soon as we got to the marae we had the powhiri outside. Later on we went to the marae that Te Rau Pou Manawa O Kawakawa was staying at and had another powhiri and our dinner. Finally we were at our marae getting our beds ready to go to bed for the big day. On Wednesday all the tamariki got up and started to get ready into our school uniform. As we arrived at the venue I started to get butterfly's because I was nervous for them. Well we were getting seated whaea Toni started taking photos of us. 5-10 minutes later they finally started and so we had to wait until the first group finished because our school was on next. As our school stood on the stage me and Tuishaly yell out go Tamarah, go Betty! As they start the waiata I felt proud of our school up their representing our school. Later the roopu had finished and we got out of the seats and walked out well waiting for TRPM to come outside. Finally they arrived and our supporting group did a haka tautoko. But then we hade to wait longer cause we had to wait For Tamarah and Xavier to came out  and so then they did come out and TRPM and and all of us did another haka tautoko. Then about 10-20 minutes later we leave to go back to school. At school everyone was happy to be back and still to this day we think TRPM is still the best. 

Assembly

This week we had assembly and I participated in 2 items my ANZAC haiku and my voyaging information. The easy part was to Speak clear and loud and  have a good stance and attitude. The hard part was to use eye contact because it's hard to read without looking at the Chromebooks. My next step is to learn how to use eye contact with my audience and the way i'm gonna do that is by practicing before hand.

E ako ana ahau

Hi my name is Havahna my FAVOURITE PART about school is writing, lunch and swimming. THE EASY PART is writing because all you have to do is think of what to write and then it will start poring out of you. THE HARD PART is the math. Math to me is hard because of the divisions I really need to know how to do it. THE THING I LOVE DOING is swimming because it's like I belong with the ocean.
