100 days of learning

On Thursday the 7th of June, tiny little butterflys were fluttering around in my stomach. It was 100 days of learning and I knew both dances and everything, but that was not what I was concerned about. I had been at home for the past few days (as in two) and had only had one moving-around practice. I know I am a bit of a worry wart because I can just follow every one else but I can't help worrying about these things. First the year 6s did their item, a melody in maori, and then we did our item, Grey lynn e and Toi a mai then simply walked around to the back of the juniors. The teachers had definitely changed the way we were going to move around. The kowhai team performed their item, then the juniors performed their complicated piece to the music of Here comes the sun. But that was only the end of the team perfomances, there was still the the Samoan group and Bolliwood group to come. The Samoan group came first and did some songs like le aute that we did more when I was younger and a complicated thing that had to be done really quickly to keep up with the beat of a wooden instrument being hit with a pair of wooden drumsticks. Last of all was the Bolliwood group. I was really looking forward to the Bolliwood because at Aloha they performed a really, truly amazing, complicated item. This one was the same one as before but slightly modified so the bolliwood teacher wasn't involved and so it was all down to the children. But it still was just as amazing as before. Then finally it was all finished I realised I almost had pins and needles and some how I had managed to get them standing up. I quickly shook my legs out but I was to late. I already had them. It was a long morning tea and me and my friends looked through the new class rooms that had art work in and took a trip up to the food stall that had been set up to sell cakes and things to raise money for the school. Then the bell rang for back to class and I felt rather sad most of the fun was over for the day and had to be hidden away for another day.

At grey lynn school there was an art exhibition. In each class two people get chosen to be in an art exhibition. The people who won in my class was Mia and Jennifer. On the same day it was 100 days of learning. In the library some peoples art got to go to pasadena intermediate art exhibition. In my class we did screen printing we did one with grass and the sky and one with one light colour, I did light green. How you make the screen print is you get a piece of paper and cut out the road or the mountain then you get the screen put it over the road or the mountain and there is a, well it is sort of like a window wiper and it wipes the paint through the screen and on to the paper.

100 Days of Learning

At Grey Lynn school it was 100 days of learning.

Before the performance we had our parents or grandparents come in and we had to show them the work we had done and the art exhibition if you wanted to. (I showed my grandparents my landscape and my really long narrative) If your parents didn't come then you were to either finish off a 100 days of learning sheet for your parents or do the thinking keys. After we showed our work we had to go up to the court to start the performance. First the Totara team did their performance. We did the Haka and sung a few moari songs. It was fun and then the kowhai team did their really cool space dance? (I think it was a space dance) And then next was the puriri team they did their dance to Here comes the sun. Soon after that there was the Samoan group it was pretty impressive it also looked complicated. After it was the Bollywood group it was really cool I really liked the songs and the dance moves. After all the dances it was finished and the parents could have morning tea with us. We had a long morning tea. After morning tea we got too see the other classrooms artwork. Then it was back to doing what we usually do everyday
