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.

Holidays


In the holidays at night time I went to my grandma’s house for dinner.

When went inside the kitchen she made indian sweet call barfe . Barfe is the delicious treat that you have for a mouth freshener  or sometimes at a indian celebration. Just then my grandma showed me the best treat she made for the first time she felt very nervous because if she served it before tasting it might taste a bit mild.
                                                                                                                                                                                     But i knew that she makes the bestest sweets in my family.She showed me the one that she made and I took a bite and said "Its all goods GA." That's short for calling her grandma. After that when everyone had a bite of the delicious treat it was nice.

The next day just then my uncle said "Who wants to go to sylvia park then everyone put their hand up so when we went there we went to see the games where the cinema was just the I saw a bouncy ball game but my aunty said hey do you want watch a movie then we yes then she said what movie do want to watch then we watched ice age four my brother ,My cousin wanted to eat subway so my aunt left me in charge so she can get them a subway till then we  played  the bouncy balls then  I asked  my cousin and brother do you want to go to the movies now then they said  yeah lets go so we went inside then watch that after that  we went back home to have a rest then My dad said now it is  time to go home.
