Dancing group

For the past term I have joined a group called the dancing group it is for year 7/8 and I have really enjoyed it, the dance teacher Miss Birtch is a great dance teacher and incorporates the students / dancers ideas into the choreography and makes sure we are enjoying what we are doing this is our dance from this term.

 Something I enjoyed about the dance group was even though we did make mistakes and there were delays in the music we still pushed through and did the dance we didn't quit and storm off. I have only started the dance group  this term but yet I have been able to enjoy the exercises make an opinion on it and have had heaps of fun and have been able to put effort into something I enjoy.

I hope you enjoy the video !

Japanese

This is my Jikoshokai in Japanese. "Jikoshokai" means self introduction.
I was sadly unable to finish this. But I loved completing as much of this task as possible !! Hope you enjoy.

How To Fall

Task #1

Maia is proud of Aunty Emz I know this because it says in the text " She's on fire eh Maia" "Duh Maia says and also it says " That was awesome " Maia says and to me that makes me know that Maia is proud of her Aunty.

I think Maia feels bad about moving because she keeps on getting into arguments and it says in the text that Her sister got to stay behind just because she was in the mid of exams since it was the middle of the year and Maia got mad because she had to friends around where she lived.

I don't think Maia found it very hard because she seemed to pick up all the tips and pointers her Aunty Emz gave her reasonably fast and she didn't take very long to learn how to use the tips and pointers her Aunty gave her.

Task #2

I had to make a biog adjustment when I moved to Hornby High School because you had to work around to get to your different classes and having a new teacher and also having different people to mingle with it was difficult to find new friends and people to hang out with and talk to because you were known as the " new kid " so everyone kind of wanted to know how you acted before they started hanging out with you and it was hard leaving mid year.

The Nights Sky.

30/5/19

L.O Create a piece of writing that describes a place or setting inspired by this song.

Key words:                        Places:

Sorrow , dark , deep.        Cemetery , haunted castle , woods

Lost , worried.                   Field, ocean

Scared , anxious

Dramatic , Sinking.

I looked around me no one was there no one was left I looked to the left of me and saw the full moo.n
I looked at the ground and saw my reflection in the puddle, I felt myself sinking and drifting away until I
couldn't feel my existence.

The earth was closing in the grass that was once green had turned black everything living was now
dead. I looked around me the trees had no leaves no cover they were cold and dying just like me, I shivered and fell to the ground I remembered all of my memories good and bad until my very last breath.

All we had to do in this task is listen to a song and visualise a picture or scene in your head then you had to put your picture into words but it had to be about the setting or place.

I enjoyed this task because I could express my inner personality and it helped me to get my creativity and imagination running.

Stitches

L.O: to understand the history and and importance of women rights in New Zealand.

Question 1
What was the story about ?
I think the story stitches was about a girl who loved sewing and was going to drop out of school and start her own job. I also think it was about her friend who was leaving and her opinion on her friend leaving and her emotions on her friend leaving.

Question 2
May is 13 ,How is your life different compared to hers ?
My life is different from May because I don't have 7 family members living with me I know that she has 7 family members living with her because in the text it says " Know papa was polishing the family boots: shoe - shoe - shoe with the brush. Seven pairs, one by one. " that is my evidence to prove my point and something else that is different is I can't drop out of school until I am 16, and I don't want to leave school because I have no way of keeping myself entertained as I am not in love with sewing and I don't yet have a hobby that I would be willing to drop out for.


Question 3
What sacrifices to you think she made in the story ? Why did she make those ?
She sacrificed going to her school, for sewing.  I think she made them to help her focus on sewing since she loves to do it so much and I think she might have done it because she needed to help her mother with gaining money for the house and to feed the family of seven.

I really enjoyed this task because I got to re read the text of the story stitches and it was a very interesting story. What we had to do was read the story and then go onto the slideshow for your group and then we were given 3 questions to answer and we had to answer them in full sentences or paragraphs.
