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.
