term 3 reflection

term 3 was fun but it is time for the holiday.
This term we had great fun doing lots of thing like speeches and cultural evening.
this term I liked how we did a cultural evening and when we did hockey too.
On the last day of this term is really cool beacause we get a rippa rugby challenge between the senior syndicate.
My extra work at school is to be a techsperx.
The thing that I didn't really like at school was cross country because I was puffing and puffing.
School is were kids go learn so be brave and don't be afrad to learn.
See you next term :)

America's cup report

Today I am going to talk about the America's cup which  is super close between Emirates and Oracle.
Firstly, The boat with 9 points/races wins the America's cup. They have to sail for legs, legs means each section of the race and who crosses the finish line first wins 1 point. The races are held in San Fancisco  on the western side of America. The skipper for the Oracle team is Jimmy Spithill and the skipper for the Emirates team is Dean Barker. There is a Cup called the Louis Vuitton cup which means who ever gets it is called the "challengers".
The America's cup is called the "defenders". New Zealand have the Louis Vuitton Cup and the American have the America's Cup. New Zealand is so close to winning. In San Fancisco there is the golden gate bridge and an island called Alcatraz.  Alcatraz  was an island that used to be a prison but now everybody calls it the island that used to be a prison. Pretty long name for an island. There are in total of 17 races. So basically the America's Cup is a  boating race  that is held every four years and this year it is held in San Fancisco.

My speech

This Term we started speeches and we had two weeks to finish our speech.

My speech topic that I chose was my culture and me.  It was about the Philippines.

My score was 84% so that was not that bad.

My heart was pumping like a drum beating in a band.

My voice was shouting like a tiger growling in the night.

I love speeches because you get to share what you really want to share.  It is all about you or something connected to you.

Hooray for me and everybody.  I got into the speech finals for the very first time of my life and my Mum and Dad will be proud of me.

I think that you can do a speech to anyone, anywhere if you just try and stay focused.

Cultural evening

 Cultural evening

The cultural evening was special time to be presenting other culture dances and more.

The middle synidicate Kapa Haka team went first and then the American Jazz girls danced, next was the Samoan dance, the Cambodian dance,  my Filipino dance, then the Pasifika dance.

My dance was the filipino lawiswis kawayan.  Avigail, Lauranze, Shamille and I did the dance together wearing our traditional dance dresses.
