Revolution Tour

Revolution Tour

Last week on Thursday we had some amazing visitors and performances from America that wanted to come over and perform on our school stage. It was only Team 5 that got sent to hall to see the amazing things about the Revolution Tour. It was amazing that we got to learn some amazing words from them and got know one of there names. The man that introduced his self to us was Reggie Dabbs. Reggie was such a funny guy and called play his trumpet to us and that very cool. Also Reggie and his Revolution team taught us some words that were powerful. The words that Reggie taught was I CAN, YOU CAN, WE CAN & I GOT YOUR BACK. Reggie was talented o guy on the stage. Reggie even played music and his trumpet on the stage and also he got these awesome twin sisters to sing some amazing songs.

Reggie is a really kind man and hes a man that likes to make jokes around people. Reggie is always funny, but when it came to this bit that he told us a sad story about his family, it was like going to make me cry. He told us that he had a brother and 2 sisters. His Mum took his brother and his 2 sisters, but not him (Reggie). After Reggie's story it just made me remember about all the people that I new and have been gone forever. After that he played his trumpet and also the 1 Call Away song and started singing along to the beat of the trumpet.

So that was our amazing visitors that came over to our school on day to perform. They were very amazing and those words made me very powerful. Hope you enjoy writing about the amazing Revolution Tour team.

Types Of Waka

Kia Ora Bloggers! My literacy has been learning about types of wakas. We had list 6 facts each about the wakas that were used in the olden days. Back in the past they didn't have any cars and roads to drive anywhere, but they had wakas and waterways to paddle along and through the coast and up river hills. The types of waka were a bit hard to move to slide to slide. ENJOY
Hope you enjoy :)
