The Dance Extravaganza

On Friday the 21st of September we had a dance extravaganza at Nga Purapura.

We had to dress up like cowboys & cowgirls because we 

had country western line dance.

Our dance music was rock'n roll Jailhouse rock! Some of my family came to watch me dance. It was fun seeing all the different dances, everybody was dressed 

up nicely & danced great! 

This is my cowgirl outfit.

These are my friends dancing.

My Blog Profile

Bonjour, my name is Lakaia. I am 10 years old & I go to Ōtaki School.
One day I hope to go to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. At school I like to play netball & I also like to do art. I also like it when our school has swimming sports.
Besides from art, reading is my favourite subject at school.
At home I like to bake & play outside on my trampoline.
My favourite animals are dogs & cats. All together I have 6 pets.

My College Visit

Today I went to Ōtaki Collage for a visit and when we got there Matua gave us a speech. We got to have a tour around so that when we go to collage next year we know where everything is. My top three favourite things we did were P.E, Science and Wood-Works.
In P.E. we got to play a game that involved team-work. We had to get through the ropes without touching them. Every rope we went through got cut out so we couldn't go through them again, we had to lift up the others to get them through the top ropes.
In science we got a sheet to write down what colour the chemical turned when we put it in the flame. It was very exciting to see the chemical turn a different colour.
When we went into wood-works Matua was making a Patu. There were more Māori carvings on the table too. We got to look at some of the tools he used, he also let us look at the wood he uses.
I had a great day.
