For the last 5 days at Wainui Beach School 2018 we are doing a small inquiry, called Diving Deep In December. We have been assigned 4 tasks to finish relating to helping poverty problems. Our teacher, Koka Jess, sent us this slideshow with the tasks- it is down below. The last task, number 4, is to go through old stuff which are not used any more in our households so that we can up-cycle them into Christmas gifts for people living in poverty, who can't afford to buy gifts. We have the rest of this week to finish the tasks to a high standard. Once we are finished we will donate the gift boxes to charities. My teacher is hoping to get in contact with the Gisborne Herald so that some of our writing can go in the newspaper. Last term I made a quote, and I think nobody else made it up, 'Humble is helpful'. I think that is relevant to this inquiry topic...

Great Greece!
In my learning hub we each picked countries to do research on. We had the option to be with a buddy or to be an individual. Kya and I chose Greece, the theme we chose (which was also an option) was postcards. On every second slide we had writing on a postcard and the slide before that one was the postcard cover. On the postcards we made up countries, suburbs, postcodes and addresses to pretend we were sending a literal postcard. We also created a video on powtoon but I couldn't upload that.
Anyway, here is our slide show.

Kapa Haka Festival!
On the 21st of November our school entered the Turanganui Kapa Haka festival. We sang about 6 songs! There were so many schools, every one of them were amazing singers. I may have mucked up on the poi but I reckon nobody noticed. We performed at the A+P showgrounds.
In the morning while we were at school, the teachers were putting mokos on our chins and for the boys it was their entire face. The girls had their hair half up half down with a bright, yellow feather sticking out of our hair. Later on, around morning tea time us girls put on our dresses 👗. The boys had to come to school with black shorts because they were doing the haka.
Time passed by and we were hopping on the bus. Kya and I sat in our seats while the other girls on our bus were screaming, singing and playing hand games. About 15 minutes passed and we were there. When we got in the big building, we took a seat below the stage. One school went then after that we went back out into a gazebo. We stayed in there for a while. After that we grabbed our poi and went back into the building through the back door to backstage. It wasn't long until we were up on stage performing our significant school song. When we were done, we went back on the bus, back to school. That was the end.
