Ready, Set, Go! By Candice

I am getting ready to hit the ball and run to the first base! I also made a home run - I was proud of myself! I can't wait to play again and that will be next week on Tuesday. T-ball is fun!

Kapahaka Pt 5 - by Paenganui

I felt like a Maori chief when I was leading the haka. My responsibility was that I had to get my timing right for when I start my words for the haka. When I got the bit for me to say the haka words, I was the only one that put my hand up. It took a lot of practice for me to get the haka right. Our Maori Teacher Whaea Raewyn was the one who had to get everything ready. I really appreciate what she did for us - thank you.

Soccer Club - by Tienira

On Wednesday every week after school, the soccer people get to stay behind at school and have such an exciting day. I have been learning lots of skills from Rush and William and they also help me when I need help. I think you know Rush, he tells us everything about God. He's the best!

Kapahaka Pt 4 By Kane

Kapahaka Pt.4 from TheseKidsRock! on Vimeo.



On Friday 18th the Kapahaka group did a practice in front of Room 6 and we gave it our all. Some of the group was frightened to do it for the first time in front of an audience. They was just staring at us and Miss Day and Tienera were filming us. When Paenganui used his loud voice for the Haka, I think Miss Day was frightened and some of Room 6 was too. I think some of Room 6 jumped up from where they were sitting. At the end of the performance everyone was clapping for the group, and then we did it again but with more excitement. It was awesome.

Hi, my name is Stefanie. In this movie we are having a practise because we wanted to be wonderful for Sunday, because we are welcoming these people from Texas in the USA.
We went to the Pakuranga Boat Club and we did a pretty good job. This part of our performance is a speech on behalf of the group. These boys said " thank you" and all that. Anyway.....WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!!

The Day that Tristan had a Maths Test with the Teacher By Lyrik

On Monday the 21st of March Tristan and his maths group had to go to Miss Day for a maths test. His team mates names were Leila, Mahdia, Bradley and Jedidah. He was very happy because he knew that he was going to have a maths test with Miss Day but he also thought he and his maths group were going to get into trouble for making too much noise, like when they were having a maths test with Mr Murry. It turned out that they were just having a maths activity!

Listen to the video to see how talented they are....They're nice and clear, tidy kiwis and confident but the most important thing for the KapaHaka group was to Smile as bright as the sun....Don't forget to watch our other awesome videos...Thank You!!!

Nervous Swimmers By Paenganui

This was the race that I was in. It was the 50 meter race. We were all nervous - even I was. The teacher was telling us what to do.
