J-Rock Performance
On Tuesday 16th of June Ngatea Primary School participated in J-Rock at Claudelands Arena. I was one out of fifty four children that did it I was one of Julie's friends.I chose to do J-Rock because I thought I would try something new and see how it would go. Well I guess I chose right because I have enjoyed the whole thing so much and really just the whole experience of it was amazing. Just before we went on stage we had to let all of the nervousness go and just enjoy the moment and try your best. We got awarded four awards I'm not sure what they were but it doesn't really matter because we all enjoyed it. J-Rock is a on stage dance performance that tells you a story without talking. Our performance was about the gaming world. The main character is Julie (the one wearing the red dress) For her bithday she gets a console for her birthday, although she has to make a choice between her friends or the console. But she starts getting confused of what is real and what is not.
Here is a link so you can see our rehearsal that we did for the school and parents. Hope you enjoy this exciting performance. Also check out our prep video and the real one underneath!

What I Would Do With One Million Dollars
This week I am doing my blog post about what I would do with one million dollars. There is a list of what I would buy down the right side of the page. If I was able to buy all of this I think that I would be living a dream probably living a life of a millionaire. There are a few pictures one of my house, the cutest puppy ever and my customised converse. When I was doing this post I had to think quite a bit about what I would do with the leftover money I was thinking and I finally decided that I would give it to a charity I searched up some charities and I found the Cancer Foundation I'm not sure how much money I would have left because it was too hard to take that much away from on million but it is more than 50,00 dollars.

Queen's Birthday Weekend, Is her birthday really in June?
The Queen's real birthday is actually April 21, 1926 so her age is 89. The Queen’s Birthday is celebrated in New Zealand on the first Monday of June each year. In other parts of the world, however, it’s celebrated at different times. In the UK, for instance it can fall variously on the first, second or third Saturday of June and it’s not even a public holiday. In Canada it’s rolled in with Victoria Day and is celebrated on Queen Victoria’s birth date of 24th May. And the Aussies take their Queen’s Birthday day off on the second Monday in June. How can one woman have so many different birthdays? Well, the holidays celebrated in Commonwealth countries to mark the Sovereign’s birthday mark the Queen’s official birthday, not her real one of 21st April 1926.The fact that holidays for the Queen’s official birthday fall on different dates in different countries is a result of historical tradition.

Inspirational Quote
I chose the quote " Today you are you that is truer than true there is no-one alive that is youer than you " because it makes you feel like you are the only you and no-one can take that away from you, no-one can copy you, you are one in a million. I also like the way that Doctor Suess said the quote it like he is saying you are the only you so be nice to others because you only have one life so use it wisely.

ANZAC Day
In World War One over 37 million people were sent to fight, 20 million were wounded and around 16 million people were killed. On Christmas Day France, Britain, Germany and Russia all stopped fighting to show respect. Nurses were also sent over to help the soldiers that were wounded. The soldiers loved ones send them mail but lots of it got sent back into the sack. In New Zealand we celebrate WWI and WWII with ANZAC Day, it is on the 25 of April it is on that day because that's when the NZ soldiers landed in Gallipoli. Anzac day is to show that we care and respect about the people who fought for us back then. This year is 100 years since they landed in Gallipoli. We celebrate it by having a dawn parade. The war was directly blamed by the victors Kaiser's Germany, it was Germany that started the war.

Whetu Camp
This Year for camp Whetu went to Totara Springs there were lots of different activities like flying fox, crate stacking, water-slide, eeling and lots lots more. The thing that I really enjoyed most was probably having the experience of going on camp at Totara Springs. I had never been there before so it was a great place for me to have fun and explore. One night we went on the Burma Trail and I was the first one to go on it and all we had to do was hold on to the rope and walk By the time I was at the 5th tree something had already grabbed my foot flung something in my face and made really creepy noises. I had a blast there and I just enjoyed it so much by doing it with my teachers, my friends and class.

J-Rock
Last week I found out I got into J-Rock. J-Rock is a on stage performance that Primary and High Schools can enter. It is a competitive competition. It is in Hamilton at the Claudelands Arena. I am one of the friends of the main character. I am really enjoying rehearsing and learning the new dance moves. This is the 2013 group:
