Charlotte Anne

This week we have been learning about Charlotte Anne. We watched a poem about Charlotte and wrote about her. She was the one who gave the rights to woman to do anything they want. She did that by taking a lot of risks like wearing trousers and hobnail boots. Example - by making the woman have the rights to vote. I have enjoyed poem.

Kiwi Sport Reflection

Today for kiwi sport we have rippa rugby with our coach Haymish. We then played a game of bullrush. We had to avoid the person in the middle and make sure that they do not take you rippa. We practiced passing the ball sideways and played a game of reppa rugby. There are blue teams and green teams. It was fun playing rippa rugby 

Samoan Language Translating

This week is Samoan language week. We created a google slide about how to understand the days of the week in Samoan. We found this language kind of hard but we still tried to get the understanding of pronouncing it properly. The google slides that my partner and I created was to tell you what the days of the week mean. Samoan language week is important to celebrate because all the other languages that we celebrate must be all celebrated. All the languages mean something like if they are from the same country they celebrate it in a different way from anyone else.

Samoan Language Week

Today for Samoan language week my partner John collaborated with me to learn about Samoan language week. We created this google presentation to show you about the culture of Samoa and to talk about the Ava ceremony. The saying of Samoan language week is called Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa. We talked about the what is an Ava ceremony and the ceremony begins with a welcome by crossing their legs in a circle or a semicircle. Then how is the Ava drink is made.

Leap of Faith

Leap Of Faith

The sun had gone low and the moon started to shine slowly. Tonight I knew the night was my night. I secretly told my friends the news as I stood on the branch ready to launch.

I felt the strong gust grabbing me from behind. I flapped my wings as fast as I could to stay steady and I was lucky that my talons were wrapped tightly  around the branch. I held my breath and lifted up my other foot. My talons were shaking as I spread my wings. I felt scared and excited at the same. With my wings open wide I leapt into the wind. It carried me up higher and higher. From the safety of my branch I glided away focused and hungry.

I could see the worms in the night clearly. I felt the strong wind that could carry me away. It was intense, but I manage to used the momentum of the wind and swooped down and stretched out my razor sharp talons. That worm had no chance. I grab the worm then returned to my nest ready to share the delicate worms with my friends.

Today for writing we have been learning how to write narratives. To complete this task I wrote a narrative about a story called Leap of Faith. In my narrative I used a lot of powerful words to make my narrative sound interesting. We used to word clines to help us write our narratives. We used a synonym site called thesaurus to find similar words to our word clines to make it more powerful.

Art Tech - Reflection

Today for tech we were finishing our personal treasure box. We drew the Waka huia and the traditional mania patterns. I learnt that there were differences between contemporary and traditional. This photo shows you my art it is interesting because it is really hard to copy the pattern. Ms Telefoni gave us instructions about what we do when we are finished. I enjoyed art with Ms Telefoni.
