Beach poem

Where I'm from I dive into the water like a bird diving for fish.

I smell the sea water.  

I smell the sausages on barbecue   

I splash the water on your face  

I always lie in the sand.

Movie Reflection 2013

The movie that I made with Piri had lots of animation and no filming. The animations were good and the sound quality of the voiceover was really bad and the song did not go with the voiceover because the song was too slow and our rap was fast. Our rap was good all the words went together and some of the teachers liked it.

Sixty The Quest

Yesterday I was in a production called sixty the quest I was in the seventy's and ninety's dance groups. In the seventy's we did Y.M.C.A and Night Fever.  Before we were watching the other performances on the T.V. My Favourite performance was the final performance because of there songs they chose it was a remix. My favourite performance I was in was the ninety's.
    

Paris family and friends

On Saturday I went to a baby shower and I was a helper. I was helping with the games, cheers, drinks and food. When I was helping there were people putting money in the piggy bank and at the end people had to guess how much money was in the piggy bank. The games we did were musical chairs, find the ball, smell the diaper, apple dunk and jelly dip.

My favourite game was the apple dunk because you had to try and get the apple whoever got the most apples in a minute gets a prize out of the box. the worst game was the smell the diaper you had to smell the thing inside the diaper and if you get it right you get a prize. the last game was the piggy bank game you had to guess how much money there was inside and if they got it right they got the money. T here was $27.00 inside and so the lady who won it also got cleaning stuff  

The Hamilton protester

In Hamilton we were in the streets protesting with boards and yelling 1234 we don't need that springbok tour. Many rugby fans were outraged when the game was cancelled and they were throwing cans and bottles and they were also booing and jeering.

When we were protesting some of us were hit by police batons and had blood on their face and there arms. Some of us were fighting back against the police. I was wearing a motorbike helmet and some other people were wearing helmets too. They also dropped smoke bombs on the field and the rugby fans run onto the field and the police had shields and batons.

M.L.K Anniversary

This week is the anniversary of Martin Luther King made a speech. In the beginning of his speech was I had a dream. His dream was about black and white people to come together. schools. He fought for his civil rights for the blacks.

Martin Luther King didn’t want as much blacks in jail. The blacks and the whites were segregated. The blacks and the whites had to go too different schools and different towns. The blacks didn’t have as much money as the whites so the blacks were kind of poor.

Back then the blacks lives were hard. They were sadly crippled because of the whites. The blacks were treated badly like they were slaves. The blacks had to give up their seats on the buses to the whites. If they didn’t they would go straight to jail.

In Martin’s life he worked hard. People tried to kill him. They bombed his house and stabbed him. Unfortunately it was the end of his life.  He got assassinated by getting shot in the heart in 1968. He got assassinated because the whites wanted to be shellfish and they didn’t want the blacks to have equal rights.

Cross Country Reflection

• Brain Storm
• Running
• Legs arcing
• Sleeping in the mud/Getting dirty
• House colours

‘At the starting line I was getting ready to run then the microphone beeped’. When we run I got into 9th Position. I had gotten up to the mud where Miss King and Miss Walters where. When I was going past them I suddenly slipped and my shirt and shorts got dirty. When I got up to Miss Squires my legs started to ark.

I was in Tainui which is blue. I was Still in the same position I was in when I started. I got to the goalpost and on to my second lap I got into 8th position when I got out the gate I was starting to have fun. Whenever I got up to Miss King and Miss Walters I always slipped.
