Last week was an eventful week of entertainment. We wrote a recount about one of those events, and mine was about my sister, and cousins doing Kapa Haka. I have analysed my writing and I have included three things that I learned, and what I need to improve on.

Kapa Haka Performance.

On Thursday I went to the Northland College with my nan to watch my sisters Alice, Huri, and Waaka performs in the Kapa Haka.

Once we were ready to leave New World I was thinking that we wouldn't get there in time, but even when we go to Northland College we couldn't even find a spot to park our car, but did we get into the performance in time…? Yes, we did, we got in there just in time.

As I and my nan strolled into the hall I heard loud stomping on the stage, and I saw legs scattered everywhere. After the curtains opened the first person I saw was my sister Alice, I tried to find Huri and Waaka. Before they started their first song Te Matua, I started to record them. While I was recording my hands started to shake, I didn't know why the were shaking I couldn't stop. I heard a lot of people cheering for Tautoro “YEAH GO TAUTORO” I heard someone cheer.

After they finished their first song I got in another position and started to record again. Tautoro Awarua was the next waiata they sang, their actions were strong and their voices were loud and strong too.

List 3 things that you think you did well in this writing.

1 I organised my writing properly.

2 I have an idea in each paragraph.

3 I wrote more than I always do.

What do you need to work on to improve your writing?

I need to elaborate on some parts of my writing and use some descriptive words to engage my reader.

Whakatauki 3

EA3:  ki te mōhio, ki te whakamārama ngā kōrero o tētahi whakatauki.

Ka tūtuki pai ahau

Ngā kōrero o tōku whakaaro.

He pikitia rānei.

3.        He Kōtuku

X       This whakatauki means when planning something you want to do, sometimes it ends up being difficult then it's time to go to plan B. When it doesn’t  work for me I don’t give up, I can think about taking another look at it and doing it again.

What I know about Daylight Savings.

By Maraea

Daylight saving is when the time goes back one hour and this happens in the summertime, for example 7am will become 6am.

This year it started on Sunday, 25 September 2016, 2:00a.m. Clocks are turned backwards one hour.  This means that we lose one hour of sleep. Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour later on 25Sep 2016 than the day before.

Daylight savings ends around the beginning of April 2016, Clocks are  moveded forward one hour to Sunday, 3 April 2016, 4:00a.m. Sunrise and sunset was about 1 hour earlier on 3 Apr 2016 than the day before. There was more light in the morning.

Daylight Savings Time is used to save energy and make better use of daylight. It gives us more time to work in the garden at home and more time to play.  Maui’s story on how he caught the sun is a story I remember on how we slowed the sun down.

Daylight Savings Time normally adds 1 hour to time with the purpose of making better use of daylight and conserving energy.

Early to bed, early to rise.

Last day of school. Cheers
