Hip Hop Off

Today was the day we showcased our dance moves. Each group from different classes have been selected to show off their own dances or the dances that they have been taught from our instructor, Jess. The people who were chosen to dance had to practice hard to be better than before.

This afternoon in the multipurpose room the whole school watched all the dances. The best dance group I liked was Room Twelve because the dancers added different unique  moves to the dance which they put together themselves. They looked amazing.

But the funniest one I liked was Room Six because they just made me laugh.

Hip Hop With Jess

Every Tuesday and Friday we go to the Multipurpose Room to learn hip hop with Jess. Jess is our instructor, who teaches us how to dance. She is very skilled and talented. She teaches us very unique dance moves.

When we do hip hop we normally start off with a quick warm up, afterwards we would play a game called musical statues. Once we have finished playing the game we would get into our groups that were organised by the students, not the teachers this time.

When we get together we start off by practicing our dance moves that we put together on Tuesday. Jess lets us practice our moves for ten minutes.

Every group had a turn showing us if they were confident or not. Jess calls this choreo. When all of the groups had shown their dance Jess congratulated us as we massively thanked her. Next week she will have something new planned for us to perform.

We put them aside and grab the ingredients to put in the burger like lettuce,onion,tomatoes,cheese,mayo then once all of them has been combined we take a photo of it then it's done. Mrs Tuipulotu said it is a simple recipe that you could try to make a home.

Assembly

On Monday we had Assembly, it was Room 10's turn to host.

We started by singing a song. After that volunteers had chosen to play a game. They had to get up and follow the instructions that they were given. The game they played was called heads up, it's kind of like charades but in a different way. It was really fun playing against the teachers. When the game was finished it was time for another game called hip hop but everybody won. After those two games it was time to sing another song. Shortly after the teacher's had to hand out the certificates'. When the teachers had handed out the certificates to the students it was time for the special clap. Once the assembly was over we had to head back to class.

In the Hoildays

In the holidays I slept in and didn't do anything productive. Eventually I got bored so, I decided to watch a few movies and eat snacks. I then got invited to my little cousin's birthday party. She was turning one years old. The party was unicorn themed. It was really fun but, I thought it was going to be boring. There was a bouncy castle, Piñata and a big feed. After when the party was finished we went home

What I Did At Tec

When I was in Mr Grundy's room we were making things out of wood. First we had to draw what we're going to draw on a piece of paper. We could draw anything on it and we could at least draw ten ideas. When we finished drawing our ten ideas, he will mark it and say what is the best design for me to do. When I have a design to do he tells us how to join them. We have to do it piece by piece if it's perfect when we finished most of our pieces. we can do the cutting and the measuring and when we had finished our joint. We have to give it to Mr Grundy to check it. If there were any mistakes on it he will use his machine to cut off any bits of pieces that are sticking out. Then we had finished our piece of work we had to let it stay in the cupboard so next week we can take it home.
