Will I Am

A few weeks ago on a wet Morning someone famous came to our school he was from the (BLACK EYE PEA) and his name was Will I Am he came to donate $100,000.00 to go to every   

manaiakalani education trust around Glen Innes and Panmure schools.

Well I didn't really know who was coming because I was at Kapa haka we had lunch early like around 10:30. We Were performed for our special guest well as the hip hop group was performed just after we were.  

As WIll I Am came to our school the Kapa Haka did a performance for him Will I Am was amazed I think of our Kapa grupe .. After we did our performance  we went to go set down at the back of the hall with the rest of our school, after that the Hip Hop were on their performance was very amazing.  

After Will I Am did his speech Pt England School did our school song. Will I Am got a very special gift from our schools around  Glen Innes and Panmure schools. I thought Will I Am Was going  to do a Performance? But he didn’t but that all right we didn’t mine.

My Reading reflection On Whale Rider

This book is set in whangara, on the East coast of New Zealand, Where Paike is and her tipuna (ancestors) are.

For the past week I've been reading a book called the Whale Rider. Whale Rider has a lot of information in the book, first of all in the book it talks about the Whales then go along to the characters.

I’m up to chapter 4 page 24. Chapter 4 is all about Pai and her Koro Apirana. Koro Apirana does not like Moko, his name for Pai, because he thinks that she is not the chosen one to be the whale rider.

Well anyway I’m enjoying my book at the moment. The thing that I like about it that its a nice relaxing book to ready yourself for sleep. My favorite character would have to be the little girl because she speaks the truth in the story.

Whale Rider has a lot of information. I didn't know that in the book that Nana Flowers wasn't meant to marie old Koro Paka. Kore Paka was a really hater in the movie till he relies that Pia got his Whale bone from under nefe the ocean.
