Culture Festival!

Culture Festival!

___________________________________________________________________

The culture festival started with a bang. First we watched the IPU drummers from Japan perform in the school gym. They performed three outstanding performances that blew my socks off right onto Saturn. They whacked huge drums with thick wooden sticks. I couldn’t see the drums from where I was sitting so it looked they were murdering people by whacking their chest with the sticks. I noticed they were doing hand movements so they were in time with hitting the drum. Next it was room 5’s turn to step up, they were going to perform a dance. The dance was cool. Mrs Denison ask if they could perform it again so we had to watch it again.

It was time to go back to class to have a cultul shared lunch with room 5. I munched on one of Tama’s yummy pastry buns that were covered in this really sweet sauce it was literally the best thing I’ve ever had in my life! I then went out to play there was twenty minutes till the bell rings so I thought I’d just muck about  on the deck.

Finally it was time to share my learning about Tonga. Me and my friend, Jacey shared our learning and then got people to do a Kahoot all about what they had just learnt. We were doing our activity for forty minutes then we left to go and look around our class and GRill 2.0. In my class we learnt the Haka and carve our names into sand in Egyptian letters. We then headed of to GRill 2.0 to see what they had set up. They had a coloring in competition. You had to color in a hand that had lots of patterns on it. It looked so cool. I did lots of beautiful drawings it turned out great in the end.

What a fun afternoon I’ve had I wish I could do it again.
