Book Week Parade
Oh my gosh, before the weekends came along, a Friday afternoon, we had a book week celebration at Randwick Park School. Room 10 was dressed up as Maori Greeks, which was half Maori and half Greek.
There were alot of amazing, homemade costumes. There was a boy that was dressed up as a girl, he had coconut bra, a purple lavalava and red highheels. When it was the year 3and 4 groups turn, they looked so cute with all their costumes. One of the classrooms I saw, room 22, they were amazed by alot of other people from other class rooms, they were dressed up as Greek gods. This was an amazing day for Randwick Park School. This was an enjoyable day for all the students and teachers, and also the parents that arrived to watch us all.

Just Dooze It - Performance
Randwick Park School Band, Just Dooze It, performed on Saturday 8th September 2012
Oh my gosh, guess what. Last week Saturday, Randwick Park Schools Band performed
at Auckland's Girls Grammar, called Bandquest. As we arrived we saw all the bands there. When all the band members entered the room we were all given a red band. Also, we entered the stage room. There were about seventeen bands that arrived at Auckland Girls Grammar as well. We were so surprised to be there and see what the other bands were going to be like.
The first band to play was Auckland Normal School, I think that they were really good singers. One of the schools that were there, Kedgley Intermediate, were totally waking everyone up with their singing. It was so good that I wanted to dance in front of the whole audience. So when it was our turn our band members, Lata, Bernadette and myself, we all had butterflies in our stomachs, I was mostly the nervous one. So as we were called on stage, the very first song we sang was " I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas. As soon as we got to the song, "Forget You", we all pretended to drive a car and pretended to be a pretty girl. It was so funny, it made me laugh in the inside of my body. It was nearly the end of our song, by the way the songs that we sang was a remix.
Well anyways, this is just the beginning of our day, and also, all things that I was just telling you about it was just our rehearsal. Now for our real thing. After all seventeen bands finished rehearsing, we all had to wait outside. Anyway the rest of the bands went somewhere else while our band was still waiting there. One of my friends Billie was like should we play tag, and all replied, "alright". As soon as all the bands came back, Just Dooze It band ran as quickly as as they could, but not to quickly though. Then the host came and slowly opened the door and everyone was like, "come on, lets go!". When we entered the room, our insides of our hearts were standing beneath us and saying, "well RPS this is just the beginning of our real performance, the door has opened for rock and roll". Suddenly, the man that was hosting the whole show, just announced our name, I was so nervous, but then I just realized that it couldn't of been our turn, so we were after these two younger boys, I was cheering for them because they were doing their very best.
Oh my gosh, it was our turn, my heart was beating and pounding like drum, so I said to myself, calm down, just pretend that it's your whole whanau sitting in these seats right now. The very first waiata that we sang was, Ka Poipoia, also it was followed by the same remix. Ramarihi Rangiaho introduced our band and the ones who were gonna sing, Ka Poipoia. Then we got up and rocked ourselves to, "I Gotta Feeling". As soon as the song " Forget You" came on, we were all pretending to drive in our cars. The audience was totally rocking to the song. Now to the final bit of our day.
The host arrived on stage and announced the ones who was gonna get a certificate. Then he pulled out a letter and announced, third, second and first place. In third place Ponsonby Intermediate, in second place was, Kowhai Intermediate and in first place was, "drum roll please", Kedgely Intermediate. They were very pleased about winning for the Band Quest Competition.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Te Atua O Maui
of adventurous beginnings and ends. Maui can also be a bit jealous but Maui is an awesome
character. There are a lot of books about him too. You could just go to the library and all
his adventures starts there.
Wiremu Tamihana Tarapipipi Te Waharoa
Wiremu Tamihana Tarapipipi Te Waharoa, chief of Ngati Haua.
Tamihana was known as the king maker because of his role of
persuading Te Wherowhero to become the first Maori king with
the name Potatau in 1858. From that time Tamihana's descendant's
inherited the title and anointed successuve Maori kings.
After his rejection of tribal warfare in 1830's he was a determined
peace maker who did everything possible to avert the Waikato
conflict. Government magistrate John Gosrt noted that he was a
pleasant man to argue with. He heard patiently all you had to
say, took the greatest pains to find out exactly what you meant,
and replied calmly and always to the point. Tamihana has met
many statesmen in his long life but none more superior in the
intellect and character to this Maori chief whom many would
call savage. Tamihana passed away in 1866.

London Olympic Highlights 2012
Well as you should know about Valerie Adams
at the summer Olympic Games he had to verse
Nedzaya Ostapchuk in the shot put competition.
As Valerie threw the shot put ball she was like a
canon shooting out it's ball. The challenge was
like a lion jumping out from behind a shiny grey
rock. Something you should know is that
Nedzaya Ostapchuk had taken drugs and
was found positive. When she went to the
starting line to get ready to throw her ball,
she looked hot and bothered, she threw the ball
and it went very far, she had beaten Valerie.
When she got the gold she had taken off.
She has hidden and ran off with Valerie's
gold medal.
About the New Zealander winner, Joseph
Sullivan and Nathan Cohen. They arrived
in London to be in the London Olympic
games for rowing. Joseph and Nathan
won a gold medal for New Zealand
for rowing. They were like a lightning,
speeding to the finish line.

A Trip To Kowhai Intermediate
Guess what. On Thursday 23 of August, room 10 was welcomed from Kowhai Intermediate.
As we were on the bus, we were driving through fog. As we arrived, we all waited a little while
and then we got called by a kaikaranga. As we entered the hall, Kowhai Intermediate called us
in with a chant and a waiata. So we sat down and the first kaumatua spoke, Matua Jesse
Williams.The very first person to speak was Waimaria McMath and she spoke about,
"Te Tiriti O Waitangi". Before it was Nakita's turn, most of us, well some of us, were
so excited to go up on stage.Tuhoe Tamaiparea announced the next speaker, that was us,
and we walked so calmly on stage." Bing" the bell went for Nakita, so she could start her
speech. So on stage after Nakita finished her speech we did a chant called, Waikato te awe.
We were gonna sing "Ma the kahukura, but Pasadena Intermediate sang that song.
Tuhoe Tamaiparea introduced the first game which was, Fruit Salad. Kowhai Intermediate
had to say pineapples, R.P.S had to say apples and oranges and Sutton Park said grapes.
It was so funny that i couldn't catch up to everyone. Yesterday was an enjoyable and
fun day. Everyone had so much fun. Then we were called in for our prize givings. There
were eight prizes given to eight good speakers, Waimaria McMath, Kiritopa Ihaka Allen,
Raiti Aperahama, Kataraina Boaza, Nico Honetana,Kahurangi Heremia, Nakita Kopua
and last but not least, Mareikura Nathan from Kowhai Intermediate who talked about,
Na wai te wai. After all the prize givings Tuhoe Tamaiparea announced third, second
and third place. In third place waaaassss Nico Honetana from Finlayson Park, and second place was Kiritopa Ihaka Allen and in first place was Mareikura Nathan from Kowhai Intermediate. Well that was a hard decision to choose to be the winners from all of the seven other schools, but Kowhai was proud we had a very fun day and it was very enjoyable too. By the way the last thing we did was He Honore.
