Well this term I haven't been on my blog for a long time due to all these different events at school that have been happening. The most recent post I have done was from three weeks ago roughly and now my ambition is to roll my whole term, so far, into one big post so here is the most recent happenings.
Tech Arts
Tech Arts was very cool and unfortunately I keep on forgetting to take a camera with me to tech arts. We have finished art and now Room 3 year 7's are onto hard materials with Mr Monk. On Tuesday 26th May we made spinning tops and I made a butterfly. They were straight away banished from school at three o'clock.
Mufti Day
On Wednesday we had a mufti day where you had to dress up as first response (example:Firefighter, Ambulance etc) but I did not dress up in random mufti.
Band
I have moved up to SENIOR Band and it is the same as junior. Heaps of laughter, fun and commitment. We are focusing on a piece called winged victory It is coming along alright. On the first day I got to Senior band a pile of music.
Kapahaka
For kapahaka the latest update is that we are learning a new song called Haere mai ki ahau ki Maniapoto E. Half way through kapahaka I have been getting dismissed for two main reasons... Production and Walton Street Cafe gig. That is right gig. here is some info on the gig.
Walton Street gig
Well for Walton street I am singing three songs at midday on the queen's birthday. They are Thinking out loud by Ed Sheeran, The Beatles Blackbird and my rock band's original song Fight On but acoustically.
Production
Just practice practice practice.
Well I gotta go. See you soon. Bye

late post
Hi. It has been a long time since I put up a post and now I am behind with however many posts I should've done but now I have had an epiphany. Instead of writing a boring post about every single day of the week I will choose one subject from each week that has influenced quite a lot. Let's see if it works.
Band Camp
Matamata and Cambridge school came to Te Awamutu Intermediate for a two day music camp. It was interesting to be honest. I didn't do very good because I got to close to my friends I didn't really focus on the music but there were some funny things too like how I am now called Miss Giggles, Hey you and laughey. Good times. Good times. Hahaha. At the end of the camp we had a concert where we performed in front of hundreds of family. I was so terrified even though I looked tough I wasn't. Made heaps of friends. Haha. So many!!!
Po whakawhanaunatanga
If you are wondering what Po Whakawhanaunatanga is it is a meeting that my koro and my mum attending which was to do with the kids who are affiliated with Maori and what the teachers at Te Awamutu Intermediate were going to do for us or well that was my families understanding. I was taken away with the kapahaka group and we were practicing a little bracket to perform in front
the parents but sadly I did not make it up onto the stage for reasons I do not want to go into.
Kapahaka and Tech Arts last week
Kapahaka and Tech Arts last week was cool. Very relaxed. We did our artwork in Tech Arts about what symbolizes us and Kapahaka something changed. I still can't put my finger on it though. We were learning a new song in Kapahaka. I can't say much about these subjects because to be honest I can't really remember what happened.
Extension Maori
Ever since Whaea Rangi came to Te Awamutu Intermediate something has changed ever since she came to school yet it is a good change and it feels like I am home. Anyway going back to the subject, Raukawa is doing a research about a Kuia who disagreed with Waikato men going to war and the conscription. She helped build Turangawaewae and she is the granddaughter to Tawhiao Te Wherowhero who was the second Maori king. Her name is Te Kirihaehae Te Puea Herangi. A lady who left her mark on New Zealand.
