Mana Performance

Kia Ora Bloggers,
Today our school had a special guest. His name was Bernard Mangakahia. He is a Polynesian performer and goes around the world to teach people about fantastic traditional dances and traditional things. Today he told us about the Polynesian Triangle. If you don't know what the Polynesian Triangle is it's a triangle that connects New Zealand to Hawaii and Hawaii to Easter Island and Easter Island back to New Zealand and all the countries and the islands in between the triangle are called the Polynesians. When he came he did a cultural dance from the American Indians and it was the hoop dance. He made shapes like eagles,butterflies,horses and flowers. Here is a photo of him. 

Thank you and make sure you leave a comment down below.

Toolkits

Kia Ora Bloggers,
I went to something exciting last week called Toolkits. Toolkits is a event that happens every year and when you go there you can win incredible prizes like headphones,waterproof cameras and bluetooth speakers.When we went there we learnt about things you can do with your chromebook like makey makey and flipgrid. If you don't know what flipgrid and makey makey is then I will tell you. Flipgrid is a site that you can put your ideas in and take videos and pictures to show your ideas and makey makey is a mother board that have wires and connectors to make things like banana pianos and how it works is that you get a wire and connect it to the mother board and then connect the wire to the banana and if you hold the earth pad and tap the banana it will make something move or make a noise.

Thank you
