Doing this post on your phone or iPad can be absolute hell from time to time

HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!!

How is everyone this week? This time we are actually allowed to use computers and ipads and stuff. Now enough talking before this blog post turns into a few pages.

So, Medieval week was a pretty big thing going on at the time and now we sorta have to answer questions so just to make this quick and nothing else.

First question is how do you think your lesson went?
I think my lesson went pretty well if I do say so myself. My group had to carry on with a member down because she had to go to hospital that day for a reason that I have now completely forgotten and the funny thing was that it was only last week. I just derped out. NEXT!!

What went well?
I would say that even though we had notes we didn't really read off the paper but just sorta glanced at the page from time to time and mostly memorised what we were actually saying and the fact that we can operate with a man down.

What could you have done better?
Communication maybe? and not jumping to conclusions as much when trying to complete a whole group activity. Not bringing forward any names of course...

What other lessons did you enjoy and why?
I liked the obstacle course that Tyler, Hugo. Maricar and Lucia thought of and setup because allows you do more than just stand around and wait for the other peeps to finish. You have to stay on your toes more.

So that's my blog post for this week and until next time
GOODBYYEEEE!!!!!!!!!!


 I finally found a picture that has both of the dragons in it...HOORAY

What have I been doing in Kapa Haka recently? Let me think...

HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How is everyone this mental looking week? I am back for another blog post so let's get started.

Kapa Haka is a big thing this term and I'm cringing on the inside when I mess up pronunciation during a song or the words to the toia mai haka that's going on at the moment. I cringe so hard. But on with the show I s'pose. My participation towards Kapa Haka is a big role that I have to play as I am a leader.

Short explanation is the teachers decided to let some of the students lead the Kapa Haka for this year and if all goes well then they will continue letting students lead the other students. The problem is with some of the other students is they always hang around in groups rather than in their allocated lines, and that's mostly in the girls when they're at the back behind the boys. I'm not pulling any names out of the hat but I'm watching you guys there from my little perch. And don't talk in between breaks either it just slows down the progress and takes longer to get through one session. Explanation turned rant over.

Question time:
What have you found easy?
I found a multitude of things easy. Mostly showing and explaining the moves. I mean its easy but I think it a challenge to listen to the music, sing, and dance at the same time so its sorta become second nature to me. Next!

What is difficult for you?
Speaking Maori words rather quickly with the correct pronunciation. It's almost like a tongue twister. Tongue twisters are fun to say but when its in another language then it gets harder. I think I'll do a whole lot of Maori words in rapid succession in my own time.

How could you improve your performance?
Well. I guess I could practice in my own time to make sure that I nail every word and move that I possibly can. I guess?

Well with that done and dusted that should conclude my blog post for the week. Well until next time
GOODBYYYYEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not a ying yang?

The minecraft village of history... What am I saying?

HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!!
How yo doin? I'm doing great so let's get started.

So this week is on the minecraft village the intermediate classes have been working on for the last two or three weeks and its coming along brilliantly. The only thing that sucks is you can't have a completely straight diagonal line. Shame I think, shame. Enough of me talking its question time I think.

Is it historically accurate?  Do the cottages look like wattle and daub?
It looks pretty accurate from my perspective. Everything looks in order and I like it. And the houses sorta look like wattle and daub its just a little blocky. Unintentional puns there. So That's that question over and done with.

Next question is...
What part do you like best?
I liked the castle because that's what I'm building. It's coming along nicely and odd thing about it is that there are only three of us working on it. Four including Katherine. I'm working together with Niamh, William, myself and Katherine. Teamwork skills are real.

Third question is
What do you think you still need to work on?
Well I think we still need to work on a few shops and market stalls as well as bigger things like a lumberjack or something like that.

And two more things that I'm still going to work on is
a) Filling the rest of the castle and
b) Thinking of ways to improve the already awesomely built village

So hopefully that answers all of your questions for the week and until next time

GOOOODBYYYYEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way (btw for short) the answer from last weeks question was Sapphirion and Ember the dragons.




Too much fire?

And space cause why not.
