Mana Review

Mana Performence Review

On Friday the 10th of May, there was a performance being taken in the Room Eight classroom for Karoro School. This was a show about what cultures do and is based on family historys. A man called 'Bernard Mangakahia' had been doing performances since is he was little. He has done many many shows all around the world and had done one for Karoro School. The show was called Mana which means "The Spirit Of Polynesia."

Bernard has 3 sons. One who grew up loving to dance and decided to dance on the street one Saturday afternoon and had earned one hundred dollars. He decided to dance every week after that on Saturdays. That son  is now dancing as well as his dad. One other son hasn't decided what he wants to do and the last one likes to play basketball and play games and go tournaments. Bernard told us he had family spreaded all over the world like his parents were born in different countries and people like his grandparents as well.

Bernard likes to dance so he is hosting a show at Karoro School. He used many objects in his dancing. Bernard used hula hoops and he said each hula hoop represents a challenge and each time you achieve one challenge you wear that hula hoop. When he was dancing he was using hula hoops and making different birds like an eagle flying across the sky, a butterfly and a snake. He also used poi's. He asked if anyone would like to volunteer to do the poi. Many students put there hands up in the air to be chosen. I remember a few who when up to try do a routine with a poi. People like Wairini, Sam, Mia, Luke and with  4 or 5 others.
Bernard also talked to having courage and saying that you can buy things and earn money but you can't buy courage. He says" standing up in front of everyone and saying or doing something takes a lot of courage."

At the end of the show Bernard said his sons gave his parts of an outfit to do a dance in. Since one of his sons likes basketball he gave his dad some basketball shoes to dance in and he got given other things likes a hat and these hawaiian flower necklaces I think are called "Leis."
Overall I really enjoyed this show and I found it cool to watch and I thought it was very entertaining to watch. 

Road Safety Week

WALT:write within the persuasive writing structure.

Why Karoro School Should Have A Kea Crossing

I strongly believe having a kea crossing is very important to have
at Karoro School because  many students need to cross the state
highway to get places, for the child’s own safety and because doing
kea patrol provides chance for the older kids to be mature and have
responsibility for something within their school.

Most people would agree that having a kea crossing would give
seniors a chance to be more of a  role model and to lead in something
for their school. Children being involved with their school by doing the
kea crossing is helpful because without the students  their wouldn’t
be a way for them to get across busy roads safely. Many seniors like
to interact with their school and toparticipate in new things so this a
perfect way children may participate in another thing for their school.

It’s easy to see why Karoro School needs a kea crossing because many

children bike, walk and also catch a ride to and from school to get home
or to get to places they need to go. Many children are tired after being at
school for seven hours and are too busy  not knowing what they
are doing. After school I see younger children and preteens actually using
the kea crossing not because they have to for crossing a state highway,
but for them to get somewhere else. After school when

children are let out of their classrooms  they are running, laughing with
their friends

and are not thinking about road safety.

We must realize that this so obvious and important why schools should
keep using a kea crossing because ives safety to the children crossing the
dangerous roads. It’s obvious to see, when having a kea crossing
decreases the amount of crashes and provides safety to the children
crossing because they are all crossing together at the one time and at
one place under the guidance of the patrol. Just the other week there
was a crash with three cars because of a child crossing the road without
a kea crossing in the morning.You’re ridiculous if you think that not having
a kea crossing after school is not important! This is so important because
if we don’t change this now or not keep the kea crossing after school many
children could get seriously hurt and these accidents would keep happening.

In conclusion, kea crossing ( kea patrol) should stay at our school because

students crossing a roads safely is  very important because they need to go
places, for the child’s own safety and because this provides a chance for the
older kids to be mature as well as having responsibility for something within their school.
