Drumming at assembly

This Friday was very special because we had two different types of drums set up on the stage, we first started off our Assembly with a karakia and mihi as always. After the awards and quiz were done, it was time for the performance.

There were two sets of drums one normal one and the other cook Island drums, For the cook Island drums there were 4 or 5 men and one woman for that It was shocking for me because whenever I see cook Island people play the cook Island drums its usually only men playing .

To start us off with the performance was a man named Brett Sargent, he came to our school I think for last year, he had his own set it looked cool especially the colors gold and black It was a fancy combination, it look like if it was just brought looking brand new. He then grabbed his sticks and was ready to rock, he went in a smooth beat then to a rock and roll playing it with hard work.

We cheered and clapped but it wasn't over yet it was the cook Island drummers turn I was excited they grabbed their sticks and ready it was smooth in two beats then show time the woman drummer hit the drum twice first because she was the bass, and the two men joined in and then the rest.

the drummers were amazing that everybody were entertained and were bopping to the beat. While they were playing some of the men were already breaking a sweat because it was thats good, playing the beat fast and controlled it can't be that easy, I was think and talking to myself wow it must of taken a lot practise to make it perfect.

Walking To School In The Cold

As I woke up in a freezing morning dawn, I uncovered myself with the blanket as I did that I felt the breeze brushing past my legs arms and hands. my hands started to turned blue, my  arms and legs were covered with goose bumps.

While walking through my bedroom door I yawned very slowly and without any sound.

After that I had my shower and got changed into my uniform I checked the time it was 8:28 and ‘ OMG I still haven't had breakfast yet” I said, rushed I through my bedroom door grabbed my bag but stopped at the main door and opened it I took a step outside and I shivered.

I had no choice but to sprint to school, on the way i felt a huge breeze go fast it made my jacket flapped but then I heard thunder I tripped over and fell into the puddle it felt like this would take forever mud in face I was hungry also late “can this day get any worse.

Finally I was there it looked like i had just woke up as slowly opened the door Mrs Squires was sitting in her desk it was morning tea “Um hi ms sorry im late”

“Dhara why are you late explain now.  I could tell she was furious with anger “Im sorry miss you don't know how difficult it was for me just to get to school “Well ok this time will be a warning but next time you're on detention “Okay Mrs thank you

i will always remember this.
