Kapa Haka 2021 - 3, 2, 1... Action!

Kapa Haka was finished. Moana Syndicate had just finished performing their well - practiced Kapa Haka bracket. That included Utaina, Ka Waiata, Aue Rona E, Ka Panapana, Wainui Haka, and Toia Mai Te Waka Nei (In Order). My favorite song out of those six would have to be Ka Panapana. Even though I didn't have the opportunity to lead it, I still enjoyed it very much. 

Matua Canaan, Koka Brodie's partner was the one who recorded us with microphones and recording boxes everywhere! Knowing that the microphones were there helped me in knowing that a LOT of parents and public audiences were going to see it; wanting me to shine brighter even  more.

The performance lasted for about 5 - 10 minutes, and my hands and knees were trembling all the way. In my reflection I think that in projecting your voice and smiling really lights up your performance, especially for me.

Overall, I think that I did a very good job today at Kapa Haka, and I wish I could do it over, and over again.

Thank you for reading my blog,

Ilminster Green Team - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

The Ilminster Intermediate Dream Team had just started their performance on why we should stop littering and reduce, reuse, and recycle. It took about 30 minutes, and all of the costumes were student - made. As the hall dimmed it's lights after the whole Moana Syndicate had arrived, and the settings popping with color, the play began.

Nanny Koura entered the stage, sitting down on the gleaming painted rocks along with Kina, in front of the ocean set. The grandchildren begged for an exceptional story that evening, Nanny Koura refused and rushed them to bed. But, one grandchild stayed on the floor, begging once more. The story she chose was of when Nanny Koura fought the Morons from Trash Planet, and how she convinced them to STOP littering. 

The Morons arrived, planning for a plot that would destroy all ecosystems on earth, just like it did on trash planet. With no coincidence involved, the local kids came to the skate park, showing off their "tricks".  They littered their 10 cent lolly wrappers, joining the other junk food rubbish. 

The Morons left, but not for long. They rushed back, and Nanny Koura found them. She was known as the long - lost Queen Koura, and they bowed to her innocently. She convinced them to stop their destroying of all planets, and once again, they were all at peace. 

I think that the Ilminster Green Team did a very good job on spreading the message about cleaning up our towns.

On Your Mark, Get Set, Go! Athletics Day 2021

Bang! The sound of the wood blocks clashing together richoched in my ears as I raced along the 100 meter track, passing 4 out of the 8 year 6 girls in the first 50 meters. I sprinted to the limit as I tried to pass my nemesis of a friend, Klara. I couldn't quite get there, but when I crossed the finished line, I was relieved to know that I had come 3rd in the Finals of the Year 6 Girls 100 Meter Sprint 2021. That was almost the end of my Athletics Day in 2021, let me tell it to you from the very beginning.

My class MLH, had just finished cheering on the junior syndicate with their 50 meter sprints as the Year 6's moved over to the 200 meter track. Koka Ngaire (one of MLH's teachers) had written an asterix on my  hand, marking that I should not be put in the same heat with another Year 6 Girl that had an asterix on their hand. My heat included Maggie, Alivia, Klara, Rio, Alice, and I. 

I came first.

Then, it was the finals. That included Charlotte A, Charlotte M, Klara, Ella, Cornelia, Dillyn, Alivia, Lola, and I. Charlotte M came first, Lola came second, Klara came third, Charlotte A came fourth, I came fifth, Alivia came sixth, Dillyn came seventh, Cornelia came eighth, and Ella came nineth. 

Next, was Ball Throw. It passed fairly quickly, with Cornelia first up. She threw far! Klara was close behind in second, and Cornelia in first, and before you know it, I'm on top! Charlotte A was next, and she was now in first, she is a very strong thrower. It kept going on and on, passing through all the year 6 girls, the leaderboard changing but somehow, I clinged on! The final podium looked like this:

1. - Charlotte A

2. - Kale'a (Me)

And...

3. - Dillyn

Yay! I was so proud knowing that I had gotten a placing! Next was Long Jump. We got three jumps each, and one of my jumps was a no jump, but if it wasn't, then I would've been in first! The final podium ended up with Klara in first, Charlotte A in second, and Charlotte M in third. 

100 Meter sprints was my favorite. My heat included Cornelia, Rio, Alice, and I. I came first, Cornelia came second, Alice came third, and Rio came fourth. In the finals was Charlotte M, Charlotte A, Klara, Lola, Alivia, Ella, Cornelia, and I. It was very nerve - racking! I was racing through the white lines and in the end, I came third! Charlotte M came first, with Klara close behind.

Athletics day was soooo fun! I can not wait for next year's Athletics Day at Intermediate.

I hope you enjoyed my blog,

Enviroschools Day - Green Gold For WBS!

Aloha, (Hello) and welcome to my blog. My name is Kale'a and I have been writing about my school's recent day winning Green Gold as an Enviroschool. To win Green Gold, you must win the first two before you can go for Green Gold; silver and bronze. Once you have won both, you get to go for Green Gold, and Green Gold is basically the top one, so we were extra excited. I hope you enjoy reading about my experience with it.

First off, the bell rang for the beginning of school. I ran to tell my friends to go to the hall, and gave a big hug to my friend that I wouldn't see until the end of the day, Cornelia. "Now, come on! We're going to be late!" Ivy, Charlotte A, Te Atawhai, Klara, and I had to be on time for the Powhiri to welcome the 4 Enviroschools team associates by singing 3 songs in Te Reo (The Maori Language). We got into our lines, and my friend Te Atawhai began to welcome them into our school in Maori as well, then we began to sing. 

After the powhiri ended, since Charlotte A, Te Atawhai, Klara and I were part of the Enviro Group, we had to stay inside the hall and announce some presentations. First up was Klara and Izzy, and they were talking about our school's pepeha, which is explaining our Maori Family through NZ; I think they did an amazing job. 

Then were my other two friends, Te Atawhai and Charlotte A. They did theirs about our local penguins, the Korora (Little Blue Penguin). It was very interesting and they also did a great job. Some intermediate students also came to talk about their journey when they were at Wainui Beach School. 

I didn't get a chance to say mine about our school's wetland, Mangaone Wetland, but I enjoyed listening to my friends and that was very exciting, and that was enough for me for the day. 

Our small Brain Break filled my belly right before it was time to come back inside. We showed the four EnviroTeam around our school as they jotted down ideas silently. Their names were Charlotte, Rick, Kirsty, and Kauri. We first went to the Shade House where we grow our native saplings, then to the fruit orchard, with oranges, apples, plums, mandarins, persimmons, and feijoa. We also had lavender and bee hives where we could now use our just bought new kid bee suits. 

Then it was time for Morning Tea. Charlotte A, Te Atawhai, Klara and I raced each other to the playground as we played on the metal monkey bars, while Klara tried to tag us as she was 'it' for Monkey Bar Tag.

Morning Tea had ended fairly quickly, and we were back in the hall before anyone else. As soon as everyone was in the hall, Koka Jodie, the EnviroGroup teacher, told us to go to one of the A3 pieces of paper across the hall. I went to the one that Kirsty was at and Klara came too. 

We had to think of what we do to we keep track of data at our school, like how many plants we planted, how many trash bags we go through, etc. We got lots of Post - Its down and Kirsty said we did a great job. All of a sudden, it was lunch. Koka Jodie said that she, Charlotte, Kirsty, Rick, and Kauri were going down to Hamanatua Stream (where my class went hiking instead of staying at school) and if you wanted to come you were allowed to tag along. Everyone put their hand up. Koka Jodie saw one boy's hand up and she said, "Nate, I know you don't like walking..." Everyone burst into laughter. "But, are you sure you want to come?" He responded with, "Well, hmmmm, I'll think about it." Klara and I chuckled silently until Charlotte A noticed and, well, she barks instead of laughi..."HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Too late. Everyone was staring right at us, and Klara and I just stood up slowly, and then bolted through the open doorway. 

We were down at Hamanatua, chomping down our lunch as Koka Jodie pulls out of what I think is a meal for 20! There was quiche, bacon and egg pie, salad, pineapple, mandarin, and orange. We each got to choose between bacon and egg pie or quiche, and I chose the vegetarian quiche, but I think I regret the quiche. 

Koka Jodie and most of the group went for a walk around Hamanatua, and there was only Charlotte A, Izzy, Klara. Lochie, and I. Charlotte A and I were running up the really steep hill and at the top we surprisingly, spotted our class! "Hi, Cornelia!" I yelled to my friend; I guess I would be able to see her one more time. 

It was time to walk back to school. Klara, Te Atawhai, Charlotte A, and I played a game called 'Around The World', but the walking version. We would take turns calling out multiplication equations like 11 x 11, and the other three would have to say the answer. They would be the winner. I was also being a bit silly, and made up another game where I gave the four of us each boy names that started with the first letter of our last names, for example:

Klara - Peter

Te Atawhai - Paul

Charlotte - Albert

Me/Kale'a - Dave

Then, I would say one of the boy names and the other three would have to answer who the real girl was. I found that game very fun.

We were back at school as we entered the hall, where we now had to sit all together and discuss if we agreed with all the group's pieces of paper. If we agreed with all seven, we would be Green Gold! By telling if we all agreed, we would vote with thumbs up, or thumbs down . First sentence, thumbs up from all of us. Second sentence, thumbs up again. Third, cha - ching. Fourth. Fifth. Sixth, Good. "Now, what happens when we have all seven" Kauri asked. "We get GREEN GOLD!" Klara replied enthusiastically. And  then, seventh, ALL THUMBS! And by not even trying, we all shouted at the same time, "WE GOT GREEN GOLD!"

Just in time, the bell had rung for 3:00, school's over. We ran back to class after having a couple of high - fives from each adult. e Atawhai asked if we were allowed to run around each classroom announcing the news. "We got Green Gold!" Again. "We got Green Gold!" And again. "We got Green Gold!" Until all classrooms heard the news. We also delivered a gift to Koka Jodie saying thanks from our principal, Koka Nolian, and vice principal, Koka Sue. Back at class, Koka Ngaire, our teacher, was announcing which two people would be going to the Principal's Tea Party to join the other one person from the classrooms around Wainui Beach School (there would be two from our class since we are a Learning Hub made from two classes). And to make the day even better, Klara AND Charlotte's names got called!

I was so happy for my two friends. It was an extra jam - packed day, filled with fun adventures and tasty food.

I'm glad for my opportunities at school.

Thank you for reading my very long blog.

My Quickwrite 2021 - Story Starters:

 Kia Ora, today by blog is about my second Quickwrite from my priorities. I used the story starter, 'The girl raced to the other side of her yard'. I hope you enjoy reading my Quickwrite and the awesome adventure I wrote about! This Quickwrite also had inspiration from the animated film, 'Raya And The Last Dragon'.

The girl raced to the other side of her yard. It was as if something was scaring her away, like a cat chasing a mouse, reading to pounce onto its prey. Her name was Raya, at least that's what her friends used to call her. Used to. Now, she's known as 'The Protector of The Mythics'. 

An ancient myth, known to say that the Mythics were a group of five powerful forces, with powers unmentioned until a certain point of time. When they all worked together as a team, they were the most dominant living beings in the land. Their land was called Estrania. Estrainia was filled to the brim with life, from tigers to spiders, and cats to bats; but the only thing keeping all living creatures alive on Estrainia, was the legendary Moonstone. The Moonstone was the only thing keeping them alive, and if the gemstone was even the littlest bit chipped, there would be nothing left in the land of Estrainia, nothing except The Protector of The Mythics.

Raya jumped onto her spotted feline friend, as she zoomed to the next drained-out lake, it was like someone had dived to the bottom and pulled the plug, all the water rushing away, nowhere to be seen. She pulled out her scroll, jumped off her cheetah which she called Lana, and read aloud.

The gem lies beneath stone,

The gem lies their alone.

Nothing protecting it, nothing in sight,

But a powerful force, capable of great might.

A  warrior, both powerful and brave,

must take this challenge, to save the day.

Raya steps into the dry lake and in her hand, appears the Moonstone. Finally! But, there's a problem. She drops the stone unexpectedly, and it shatters. Raya feels something in her left arm immediately, and as she turns her head, she has only a left shoulder, and that is also slowly disappearing. 

Thank you for reading my Blog about my Quickwrite!

Quick Write - Story Starters: Can Anyone Hear...

Kia Ora! Today I will be sharing my Quickwrite with you. I used the Story Starter, "Can Anyone Hear..." for my Quickwrite. This Quickwrite is also based of of the series: Wings of fire: The Dragonet Prophecy. I hope you enjoy it, and happy reading!

“Can anyone hear that?” Sunny shivered as Starflight walked by. “It’s OK, Sunny, It’s just Tsunami rummaging for some scrolls.” “Some interesting scrolls!” Tsunami added. “Anyway,” Starflight continued, “We should study some more tonight. I feel that you guys haven’t been reading as much as me.” “Well, obviously! I’ve been eating leftover cows from dinner all night!” Clay spat raw chewed - up mince all around the room while trying to speak. “Yuck, Clay!” Sunny laughed. “Fine. As long as I get to choose. OK?” Tsunami snapped. “Yes, yes. Just not the SandWing princesses.” Glory whispered, apparently not quiet enough. “Oooooooh! Great idea, Glory!” Tsunami yelled. “Oh, Splendid.” Glory mumbled.

“I would obviously be the best queen, but since you are a real SandWing Sunny, you can be Queen Oasis.” Tsunami said. “Yay!” Sunny exclaimed while Tsunami carried on. “Glory, you can be Blister, the smart one. I’ll be Burn, the strong one, and Starflight, you can be Blaze. The prettiest one.” Tsunami chuckled. “But, I was Blaze last time!” Starflight yelped. “Stop complaining! Oh, and Clay, you’re the angry Scavenger.

The Acting Out

“La, De, Da, De, Da. I’m Queen Oasis and I do Queeny things and stuff.” Sunny said.

“Don’t forget the treasure!” Tsunami whispered

“Oh, yea. I have lots of treasure, and that’s what makes me so Queeny!” Sunny added.

“Did someone say treasure?” Clay said.

“EEEAAAKKK!” Sunny cried in fear.

“You’re not supposed to be scared!” Tsunami interfered.

“R-Right. Rar! What is this scavenger doing in my kingdom of sand? I will eat him in one bite!”

“Squeak, squeak, and other annoying scavenger noises!” Clay squealed. “Take that, I mean, SQUEAK!”

“Impossible! How could a lousy scavenger like this defeat me! Oh, my kingdom will fall, oh, my treasure!” Sunny complained.

“Squeak, squeak! All this treasure is mine now! Ha!” Clay announced.

“Oh, no! Our mother is dead!” Tsunami yelped.

“And none of us killed her, oh what shall we do?” Glory questioned.

“I, Blister was about to challenge her, I should be queen!” 

“I, Burn am the biggest and strongest, I should be queen!” Tsunami said

I, Blaze am the youngest and will live the longest reign, I should be queen!” Starflight commanded.

“Aaannnddd…” Tsunami confessed.

“I am also by far the prettiest.”

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Cross Country 2021 - 2nd Place!

 I dropped my water bottle and my just - washed sweatshirt. I really wish I could wear it, it is freezing! "Year 6 girls, line up, quickly!" I chase myself to the starting line, girls pushing, girls shoving, trying to get to the front of the line. I got there just in time, then girls came impelling through the crowd, like there was a pack of velociraptors chasing them. Arrggghhhh! "On your marks, get set, GO!" I prance off the wet grass, catching up to my speedy friend, Charlotte Alexander. Catch me if you can, my friend! I ran my heart out as I passed Charlotte, Lola, and Klara. Yesss! Now, I only have to catch the most rapid - fast, high - speed, energetic girl in the school. 

Charlotte McDiarmid.

I try to keep my pace up, and I succeed. I lean back, remembering last year how steep it is when you're running down a hill. It's steep. I say a quick 'hello!' to one of the FOW (Friends of Wainui) Cross Country helpers, Kate as she hits me with a 'good luck!' back. 

The Crowd

As I catch up to Charlotte M, I start to breathe heavily. The crowd cheers, then I hear my friend Te Atawhai yelling, "You can do it, GO Charlotte, OH YEAH, IT'S KALE'A! GOOO KALE'A!" She would definitely win the award for "Best Cheerleader". And like it was nothing, I was back at the starting line, on my second lap. By keeping track of Charlotte M, I tilt my head up every now and then to find her bright yellow t-shirt, and then I jolt my head around once or twice to see who's behind me. I know that doing this isn't always ideal, but I only did it once or twice. 

The End

I get back to Kate, on my second lap, and she takes a speedy photo of me (I think it was hard since I was going down a small hill at top speed), and then I catch my eye on Charlotte M. Then, like it was yesterday, or a couple minutes ago, I could see the two neon yellow poles sticking out of the ground marking the finish line. Yessss! I sprint as fast as I can, which is pretty hard since I am just about to puke and faint at the same time, but then everything goes silent. It is just like putting both of your fingers in your ears, and all you can hear is a quiet hymn of clapping and cheering, then, I am back in the present. I feel my feet jump and then I am flat on the ground, past the yellow poles. I am so happy.

Second place.

A - Ha! Samantha Found What She Had Been Looking For.

Good Morning! My name is Kale'a and I would like to tell you about what I have done today. At school, I complete a set of activities every week called 'priorities'. For one of my priorities, I wrote a quick write (where you write a quick, short story), and I used something called a sentence starter. A sentence starter is where I choose a sentence then use it at the beginning of my quick write. Below is what I wrote:

A - ha! Samantha finally found what she had been looking for. Well, that was just now, we have to go back in time 10 minutes ago in Samantha’s room…

“Wake, Up, Samantha! Wake, Up, Samantha!” The alarm clock beeped, over and over again. Samantha reaches her hand out, feeling for her chiming alarm clock. Her hand finally touches it. She turns it off, pulling her warm duvets off her freezing legs.

Forcing herself out of bed, she opens her closet door, looking for her favorite T Shirt. “Where is it!” She crawls under her bed. Nowhere. She opens and closes every dresser drawer. Creak, slam, creak, slam. Nowhere. Her alarm clock read ‘8:50’. She would be late for school, if only she would be able to find her favorite T Shirt.

She creeps downstairs to find her mother making breakfast. “You’re gonna be late for school, and I won’t be apart of it!” Samantha heard as she walked into the kitchen saying, “I can’t find my favorite Tie - Dye T Shirt!” Her mother replied as if nothing was wrong, “Don’t be silly, you’re wearing it.” And that is how Samantha said, A-ha! Because she had found what she was looking for. Well, her mother had.

Thank you for reading my blog and I hope that you enjoyed it. Mahalo (Thank you), Kale'a 🐈

2nd Time At Aurora Writing!

 The second time doing Aurora was so exciting! Pizza for lunch, Monkey Bars to swing on, and so much more that I am just about to tell you. 

I waited and waited at school for my ride to the Holy Trinity Church Hall, Rio's car. We were due to leave at 8:30 in the morning, and the first bell, signaling that it was 8:30, had already rung. Finally, Rio arrived. Now, Rio and I were waiting in a pair. There were three people in Aurora writing, and we were still missing...  Cornelia. "Kale'a! Kale'a!" I heard a faint yell. I recognised that voice. "Cornelia!  Finally, you're here!" All four of us, including Rio's mum Natalie, jumped in her gleaming red car. We were off to the Holy Trinity Church Hall. 

It was beautiful. The stained glass was showering the shadowed floor with coloured rainbow sunlight. "Girls, that isn't the right church!" Called Natalie from outside, "Oops! Sorry, we are coming right out!" I said as Cornelia and I thumped out of the great church. We walked to the building next door, which was actually the right one. The stairs went in a spiral fashion, up and up they went until we reached the door of the huge open room. "Good morning, Wainui kids!" Said the Aurora teacher, Steph. Cornelia, Rio and I all dropped our bags in the far corner where some other children had. My fellow Aurorians played and joked around as we sat around for the other schools. Once everyone had arrived, Steph explained our day, and we got to work.

Everyone found a space around the room and we lay on the beige carpet, thinking about our time at the Arboretum. We found a space around the tables, but I went into one of the soundproof rooms along with Cornelia and Rio. I started on by draft as it came to morning tea. I ate some of my lunch (pizza from last night) and I played on the bars with Cornelia. I finished my draft after morning tea, then we took turns in little groups, finding the meaning of different writing tools. I had Assonance and Onomatopoeia. Steph had ordered Pizza Hut, so Cornelia and I had a couple of pieces each. After lunch, We all walked back to our soundproof room and waited for the signal. "You will have 1 hour to finish a published poem... now!

The time was almost up. Everyone was packing their paper clippings away and handing in their poems t Steph. I had messily glued my purple card onto the back of my poem, and quickly ran over to Steph, she read it and put it in the finished pile. All the school sat down and the parents and teachers from the different schools also sat down in the empty chairs. 3 Kids put their hand up to share and my friends were urging me to, too. So I did. 

Aurora was the best experience ever, and I am so glad I chose to go. 

Thank you for reading, Kale'a 🐆

1st Time At Aurora Writing Workshop

Cornelia, Rio, and I jumped onto the bus, nervous to see the people from the other schools. "It's okay, Cornelia." I said to calm her down. We sang 'Glitter' all the way to the Eastwoodhill Arboretum. 

My time at the Eastwoodhill Arboretum was so joyous! First, we played a game called 'Hare in the Whare', if the teacher says "hare", you stand completely still. If they say "whare", with a buddy, you move fast to make a house with both your arms. Then, if they say "hare in the whare", with a buddy, you make the house formation, then grab another person to go into your handmade whare. 

Afterwards, we went for a walk and took breaks along the tracks to write "seeds" down in our notebooks. "Seeds" are words that will grow into "trees" once we write our story. Once, we stopped at a pond to write some words down. Rio got a spot on a tree stump that looked like a queen's chair. Once we'd finished our quick walk, the whole group jogged back to the cabin hut, where we had lunch.

Lunch was great! The teachers offered us a delicious feast; asparagus rolls (pretty much asparagus wrapped in bread), egg and ham pie, sandwiches, and strawberry and cream donuts. Cornelia and I each had one egg and ham pie square, then we split our last slice (I think I might've had another one...).

After lunch, we went down to the playground. Here, Cornelia, Rio, some friends from other schools, and I went swinging on the leather hammock. We were swinging it so hard, that it went on it's side like you were lying on a wall!

My time at the Eastwoodhill Arboretum was up. I am really glad that I went and I got to meet tons of other people. I can't wait for the next session at the Holy Trinity Church Hall.

3D Hand Art!

 Kia Ora and welcome to this week's blog post! The year 6's went off to camp on monday so all the year 5's had the classroom to themselves (Exept for our teacher, Matua Beau). First up, we moved he chairs and tables around how we wanted it for the week. After that, it was all priorities. The week was practically normal, with a few games and art thrown in. The art Matua Beau Chose was the 3D Hand Art! I love drawing so this was my opportunity to shine. But, it was not my day to be doing art. I was going through paper like picking up grain by grain of sand. I decided to just do it at home. I can not wait to write back to you guys next week on my blog.

Sincerely, Kale'a ;)

It's Kahoot Time!

Kahoot!

Aloha and welcome to my Term 3 Week 5 Blog Post! Today I will be writing about What Moana Learning Hub did last Friday. About a week ago I started making a Kahoot. A Kahoot is a sort of game where there are quiz questions and true or false questions, and you can add a photo for each question. I did my Kahoot where there would be a photo of each person in MLH as a baby. The question on each Part would be “Who Is This?”. 

It was really Funny to see all the little students from Moana Learning Hub! We had a few laughs when we saw a photo of one of the teachers as well! I’m so happy that everyone enjoyed the Kahoot. Down below I will show some of the photos of them.

Thank you for always reading my blogs, Mahalo, Kale’a

Luna Is Back!

 A few months ago we had a lost kitty, Luna. The last day before lockdown, we got new kittens (I wrote another blog about getting them)! We re - named them Skye and Luna. 

We have been trying to not let them outside at night. But, My mom went to pick me up, and she stayed outside. 4:00pm, still outside. 6:00pm, still outside. 8:00am, still outside. It had been three days since we had seen her. She had posted on facebook about Luna. One day my mother went shopping at countdown, and she got a notification from facebook. It was a man and he said that he might have our Kitten! She texted back saying she’ll be back in half an hour. 

She drove home and said where he lived. And… He was our neighbour! She drove home and walked over. They chatted for a little while, then she brung her back home.

I am so happy that Luna is back, and I think Skye is as happy as me.

Just Dance Performance!

Just...      Dance…  Perform…    What?! Yay! This week we have a heap of fun things we are going to do.
Including, a Just Dance performance (and a movie!). There were choices of Waka Waka This Time
For Africa, Handclap, Or Timber. After you have chosen your song,
you have to get into a group and hope that they agree on the song too. :)  

In my group, I have me, Cornelia, and Ivy. We have chosen to do handclap because it is one of our
favorite songs and it is also three people! I have waited to write the rest of the story so that you
guys can hear about the performance. It is Wednesday today and I am ready to perform. 
We have practiced on my computer, and are ready to go.

Yay! Time to get ready to be on stage. Everyone lined up and we walked to the Hall.

A few songs passed and I was quivering from being cold, and being scared! But I was ready.
We raised our hands, and walked onto the stage. I stood in my spot and, Just, Danced.
I think we might have won, but someone else might have gotten more points.
You get points from costumes, how well you dance, and teamwork. 

I am very happy I participated in the performance. And, I am also performing it at the
Term Achiever’s Assembly! I’m so excited! Thanks for reading about the Just Dance Performance.

Mahalo, Kale’a  :)
