Music History

What do you mean by Justin Bieber.                              Genre: Pop.                           In this music you can hear a clock keeping the beat. When you listen to other music compared to this you can still hear something keeping the beat. It's a bit faster but it's still keeping the same beat. I be so glad... When the sun goes down. By: Ed Lewis. When you listen to this music its way different isn't it, but there is a similarity. When you listen to the song you can hear some weapons banging against the floor and that is whats keeping the beat. So even though the songs may be different if you listen closely you can hear something keeping the beat. 

ASB Polyfest 2016

What i did? On Friday the 18th of March our Kapa-Haka group went to ASB Polyfest, Polyfest is a celebration that you can dance and sing in your culture.         First we had to get into groups, I was in Sharyn's group. I bought churros with chocolate sauce, it was delicious, we watched lots of different performances. What challenged me? What challenged me was sticking with my group, it was hard because there were a lot of people. What are my next step/s? My next step is to tell my group leader were I am going.

Beach Ed

What we did? On Tuesday the 15th of march LC3 went to Mairangi bay for a beach education trip, it was really fun. First we got introduced to the lifeguards Danielle, Olivia and Hannah and a tour of the life guard equipment. Then we got taught what a lifeguard does. My favourite part was going swimming and saving your partner it was like I was an actual lifeguard, I also liked the beach games we did. We played octopus and this lifeguard game were you have sticks in the sand and you have to try get the sticks before anyone else does, the person who gets the last stick wins. After we got taught how to get out of rips. What challenged me? What challenged me was running in the water, I kept slipping and it was really frustrating. What are my next steps? I think my next steps are to be more helpful with my partner because I wasn't being helpful that much.
