Kahurangi dance group

Yesterday at 11:30 after morning tea we went to the hall to watch the Kahurangi kapahaka dance group. When we went to the hall we sat down on the ground waiting for the kapahaka people to come out. Kia ora Aroha shouted to all of the seniors sitting on the floor in the hall. They had powerful voices and powerful slaps. The other guys name was Lucky. There piupiu swung from side to side.

All the children was cheering and when they said kiaora we shouted kiaora back. The girls names are Hera and Zoe, we were all laughing because it was funny. They were choosing 3 people to try use a taiaha. 3 people got chosen they went up in front of everybody so we could see what kind of stuff they were doing.  When they finished they went and sat back down.

The kapahaka people started to perform again, Zoe and Hera was using the pois they were good a few minutes later they grabbed out four pois and used them at the same time. They were good they were doing heaps of tricks with them.

They had these little sticks called titi torea, they showed them to us they were throwing the titi torea to the other person. They were good when they finished the performance it was time for us to go. They said bye to us and we shouted bye back.

Diver balance

Diving

Jumping

Falling

Platform           

Springboard

Acrobatics

Internationally

For a diver to be balanced they need to know what position they are going to be in. Especially their feet it has to be on the edge of the diving-board, when they are going to dive they have to be in a angle position that is pointing straight down.

Thats when they have to really concentrate and have a sharp focus. Then they jumped off the diving board when they are almost in between the pool and diving board thats when they put the arms together like a seal and get back up in the water without touching the bottom.

They do a lot of tricks when they are in the water but the difficult part about it is that they are not allowed to touch the bottom of the pool or else they will be disqualified in a competition. A diver should enter the water straight without any angle, their feet balanced against the diving board, and they focused and concentrated very well.

All of their movements were cool before entering the water as they landed in the water with a minimal splash, controlling their bodies while they jumped of the diving board also they were all balancing of the edge of the diving board.

Cold day walking to school

On a freezing frosty morning I was walking to school. I was so cold that most of my body was numb. My stomach was rumbling because I didn’t have time for breakfast.

My whole body was shaking. “ It is so cold” I thought to myself I could barely stand. “It is so foggy I could barely see a thing” I said to myself.

My hands were icy cold and my teeth were chattering. My hair was flapping everywhere and also my clothes. “I’m so late for school” I said to myself.

It was so windy that the wind was just about to push me over. The grass and the concrete was getting really icy and slippery.

It was so slippery and icy that I was slipping everywhere. I saw everyone in their cars dropping their kids off to school.

Just up the road I saw my school I was walking fast to school. “I’m finally at school” I said to myself.
