A few weeks ago Pt England School were given a wonderful performance from a group of dancers. The group who performed for us were iluminate. iluminate are a group of dancers from all over America (USA). Everyone was excited to hear that we were having a performance from this group. The whole school gathered in the hall for the amazing performance. Mrs Nua talked to us about this group. Mrs Nua then introduced a lady, this lady was the one that had got this group to perform for us.

As soon as they had there talk the lights were out. Everyone in the room were excited about that. The lights were out, then all you could see on the stage was a big person, a glowing person. You couldn't see there face or anything because they were wearing all black so they could glow in the dark. Once the first glowing figure was out, two people came in as well. The music then started to play. Once the group finished performing they came out and talked to the school. The selected Kapa Haka children did a performance for the group at the end. The group then learnt the NZ haka. They performed it too.

Once they had finished doing the Haka the school went back to their classes to get ready to head home. However the the Yr 7 & 8s stayed behind to ask the group some questions. Some of the questions were “Who inspired you to dance”, “ Can you do the dab” and more. When we finished asking questions we went back to class to pack up. Our day was amazing!

Wool and Nail Art!

Today we did Wool and Nail Art for our art rotations.  Alisha, Olivia and I created our art step by step using wood, nails , wool and a star stencil.


I enjoyed doing this because it was fun and interesting. I would do it again but I would change the star into something else. 


1. For our first step we hammered nails in a star shape onto our wood

2. For our second step we put the wool on our star. It looked like this.
