Year 6 students went to Manukorihi intermediate and had a visit to see what it is  going to be like I had fun we learnt a new game called Ripper Luigi

we also made cupcakes it was fun to make the cupcakes then there were these paper things you put your name on them and you go in a draw to win a small chocolate bar or a free Manukorihi intermediate jersey. I had such a fun time.

 Ripper Luigi is a really fun game. There are two teams black and yellow someone calls a name like for example if they say my name ! Aubrey I have to run and try to get to the other side. I found it was quite challenging to try to get over to the other side because everyone was defending really well.

Me and my class learned a new game called ripper Luigi. You need a team and there are two captains one for each team, and they have to choose who’s in their team and stand behind them.

You need a belt and two rips. Someone’s name gets called, then they have to run and when their rip gets pulled it is the other team’s turn. They have to try to run to the other team’s side and get the win. Then you need cones for the boundary and where you can run and cannot run. If you run out the other team starts. If the other team runs  out your team will start, it is an easy game.

When you are playing, have fun and enjoy it. First I was bad now I’m good! If you play then you will need to play your best and when you are running try to run up to them and jump up then do a spin then run straight past them, then you will be good and it will work.

This is my blog about learning a new game that’s called Rippa Luigi I was new to this game.

During the game I was confused until my teacher of course, Whaea  Lestine explained that there’s 2 teams and she will call someones name out then they are the Luigi, and the opponents would come and defend and try strip the rips off of the person (Luigi). If they strip the person’s rips off then they turn into the Luigi.

I participated by using encouraging words , team work , and by listening then you’ll be fine while you’re playing the new game.

I am proud of myself because I’m improving while I play the game and I’ve been getting more tries every time we play for fitness.

Something I found quite challenging was defending my opponents because they were tossing and turning but I could strip their rips by keeping an eye on the rip at all times.

Next time I will try to get more and more tries and give more put ups and be humble.

My tip are to always keep an eye on the person’s rip that’s the Luigi when you’re defending.

We have been learning a new game called Rippa Luigi.

I am proud of myself for trying to rip people and for trying to get a try.

If you’re wondering how to  play Rippa Luigi, you have to separate the children into 2 groups, then you grab a belt and a pair of rips, and  someone calls out a name and that means that you’re the Luigi and then you have to run to the try line and you have to try get a try without getting ripped by your opponents.

Something I found quite challenging about Rippa Luigi is trying to get to the try line without getting ripped.

Next time I will try my best to rip everyone, and get tries.

My tip on playing Rippa Luigi is to rip from the waist when it’s windy.

We learnt how to play a new game called Rippa Luigi.

First the teacher told us how to play, this is how you play: you put on a belt and the 2 rips, and then a teacher will call a name and whoever gets called has to run and try get to the other side without getting ripped, if you do get ripped the person who ripped you is now Luigi and they have to get to the other side.

Something I was good at was running to try to get to the other side.

Something tricky was trying to strip the rips off other people.

The main thing  I learned was that you have to be focused on the rip to strip someone else.

The Year six went to Manukorihi Intermediate for a visit .

First we played a game called Rippa Luigi it was fun.

After that we had some food and then decorated cupcakes and went on a tour around Manukorihi.

Something I did really well was decorating the cupcakes, I made a penguin.

A tricky moment was when we played Rippa Luigi because we had to get to the other side without getting ripped.

The main thing I learned was how to play the game ( Rippa Luigi )

This is my blog on what we did on our trip to Manukorihi Intermediate.

During our trip at Manukorihi Intermediate we made muffins into cute animals like a penguin and a owl out of coconut, M&M’s, icing, and Oreos, in our group we made a penguin.

I am proud of myself because I participated in everything and had fun playing a game called Rippa Luigi.

Something I found quite challenging was, when I was in food tech it was hard to spread the icing without the muffin breaking.

Next time I will try my hardest to get a try while playing Rippa Luigi.

If you ever go to Manukorihi Intermediate my tip is to listen to the teachers.

Reimaginate Music Festival

On Wednesday the 12th of November, we went down to the hall. I got asked to play the ukulele with others students. We played the ukulele in front of 2 to 5 schools but we had to learn one song called peas and carrot and we only had one hour to learn the song.

So we met in office at 8:55 after we met that if we were all there we jumped in the van and headed to the war memorial we put our bag down and grabbed our ukulele and practiced the song we were doing.

When we finished the song I could here heaps of kids like 20 minutes later all the kids came in and sit down.

The guys that tech us the song told us to sit down until he called us up he called us up and we got our ukulele and did the song that was a good experience for me.

 The Music Festival

Put your hands up if you can play ukulele, if not it’s ok. Anyways, kia ora my name is Natan and I am going to tell you about what happened yesterday at the music festival.

So, we hopped on a bus and sang THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND, and once we got to our destination (The War Memorial), we walked to the left side and waited, but while waited we done The wave like in a football stadium and yelled “YEAAAAHHHHHH.”

Then finally went in and saw the band, but while sitting down they introduced themselves, first was Dave the lead singer Ben the best ukulele player, well that’s what I thought and finally Josh, a newer member which’s actually Dave’s son I reckon he’s a good singer.

Now they are singing about a song they made themselves about how flightless birds get to fly and that song was AMAZING I was surprised by how in sync and their voices are SOO FANTASTIC and the Peas and Carrots song was my Favourite because kids from other schools including ours played it to on the ukulele. and at the end everyone got to be in the song Ben would tell us go down go up go down go up and that was most likely the bestest and funniest thing there.

Now, before everyone got up, the boys in kapahaka did an AMAZING haka, and after that was done, everyone got up, hopped on buses and went back to school for morning tea. 

Today we retold a true story about what happend at The Musical Festival.

I reckon mine was the best retold story.
