My Reflection
Last week it was the Pacifica groups presentation to show what we have learnt in Pacifica, we have learnt lots of moves since the beginning of the year.  I was in the Tongan group, our song is called Si'i lo lo.  I found it interesting to learn another culture.  It was hard to dance in front of everybody in the end because it was nervous to dance to the whole school, next time I need to dance in confidence in front of everybody.

My Speech (Sugar is bad for your health)


My Reflection
We are learning to write a persuasive speech using persuasive techniques.  Speeches are fun to write but hard to say it in front of the whole class, when I stand up and did my speech to the whole class I was nervous.  My next step is to practice more next time when I write a speech to say it confidently to the whole class.  Today Matua chose Ty and Zvaryn to do the speech finals they were confident and clear.  I will try really hard next time to get in the speech finals.

My Reflection
Yesterday we went to PolyFest to experience different cultures. There are stalls there which sells delicious island food and stalls that sells unique things from different islands. There are also a lot of performances from the High Schools Auckland and Primary Schools who has done some amazing performances. My favourite thing was the food that I spend my money on, I really like to spend my money in the stalls. I like thee game that we played using rakau. But the funniest thing that happened during a performance is that it rained really hard but I had a umbrella, others didn't have a umbrella so they stayed a while in the rain. I love this trip I am excited to go to PolyFest or another trip again.
