Culture Animation
For the past few weeks I have been working on a animation about culture. I did it with 2 other friends. In the animations there are special places to my friends and I.
To make the animation look smooth hold space or right arrow.

Animation
Today me and two other friends made an animation on google slides about our culture. Before that we had to make a sentence about culture.I learnt how to use headings on google docs.
This was my sentence: Culture is your family and identity, everyone has different cultures, traditions and accents. Your ancestors are a big part of your culture, friends and family.
This was our animation on google slides:
Smart Footprint
Today with Matua Herman we learnt about our digital footprint. I learnt to be smart about what I put on my social media accounts.
About Me
Last term Mr Bull showed us how to draw a picture of ourselves on a computer. It was a little bit hard sometimes but once you got used to it. This is what it turned out like:
Last Term of The Year Review
Term 4....
Term 4 was probably my favourite term because obviously it's the last term and we have so much time out of the classroom which means less work and more games. And I am pretty sure its the shortest term of the year.
This term I have been put in the highest level and groups for everthing. It has been a real challenge and I hope all the stuff we have learnt helps me with all the tough learning next year. But this term we haven't done a lot of group work because we have done a lot of things out of the classroom.
Sport...
The main sport event this term was Athletics. The thing I did the best in was probably high jump. I don't know how high I jumped but I did the best I have ever done. We have just started learning how to play Ki o Rahi. Ki o Rahi is a traditional maori sports game.
This term we had the Kapa Haka Festival and I was in the second row of boys. At the start the girls were at the front because they do Poi first. In Utaina Mai the boys come to the front for the HAKA! There is no placings at the Kapa Haka Festival because it is not a competition.
Overall I really enjoyed Term 4 because we had heaps of time out of the classroom and did lots of fun activities outside and inside the classroom.

Kapa Haka Fest
As all of Nui walked onto the huge stage at 11:15 I felt sick in my stomach, I was so nervous to sing infront of like 150 people. The guitar started and the Kaea started singing. The first song we sung was Tu Mai Ra to form our triangle. We were eventually in the shape and went down. Now we were all singing our school song, Takahia with our fists. In that HUGE hall it sounded like you were the only one singing.
Now we were on to Utaina Mai which the boys come to the front in and the girls go to the back for the HAKA. I was super nervous because I'm pretty close to the front. And in second row you move to the side to get in a gap so EVERYONE could see me. Ok...
Now it was time for the Haka.
KIA MAU HHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

We went way to fast in the Haka but I knew that was going to happen.
Presentation To Council
About two weeks ago I went to the Gisborne Council with the Aurora Leaders 2019 to show a presentation of what we had done as leaders. We had fundrased for Banardos and Jammies for June and we raised just under $5,000!! When we found out what those two companies did it shocked us. At the leadership course there are a range of people from different schools from out into the hills and then all the way out to Wainui Beach School (which is my school). We all put together different fundrasing ideas, we did sausage sizzles at our schools, movie nights, we sold firewood and at my school we did a pajama day. There were a lot more things that schools did.
At the course we learned what leaders did to make the world better. We learned that anyone could be a leader you just got to set your mind to it. All the things we learned and did we took it to the council and did a presentaton. Everyone took part in it and said what we did. In the end I was really happy that I got picked for this AMAZING experience. My confidence has gone up a whole nother level when I speak infront of crowds and big audiences. This is a certificate that I got:
