SLJ ( Taika Waititi )

Yesterday we were doing Summer Learning Journey. We had to research on Taika Waititi and we have found some interesting facts like that he is a director, filmmaker, actor and comedian.

SLJ activity (pepeha)

Today we were working on a pepeha website where we can create our own pepeha  and today we have to find facts on Taika Waititi (Also known as Taika Cohen) And the facts we know already is that he was a movie director, filmmaker, actor and comedian. I know that he was boys dad on the movie "Boy" and he also play the rock man on "Thor Ragnarok"

I still wouldn't do the SLJ cause it just takes up to much of my holiday time, but I would  recommend it if you like doing work and if you want something to do.

SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY (LORDE)

Today we have been doing a summer learning journey on Lorde. The reason why we have to find fact on Lorde is because this is giving us a taste of what the SLJ is like. In my mind I will never do this because it takes to long and takes up all of my holidays but I would do this to help with my learning like with my writing skills and reading and it might be fun for yous.

Te Rau Pou Manawa O Kawakawa Kapa Haka Haerenga.

On Tuesday 31 tamariki traveled down to Tainui, Hamilton to go and support Te Rau Pou Manawa O Kawakawa. It took us all day to get down to the marae. The marae that we stayed at was Te Aratiatia marae at fair field college. As soon as we got to the marae we had the powhiri outside. Later on we went to the marae that Te Rau Pou Manawa O Kawakawa was staying at and had another powhiri and our dinner. Finally we were at our marae getting our beds ready to go to bed for the big day. On Wednesday all the tamariki got up and started to get ready into our school uniform. As we arrived at the venue I started to get butterfly's because I was nervous for them. Well we were getting seated whaea Toni started taking photos of us. 5-10 minutes later they finally started and so we had to wait until the first group finished because our school was on next. As our school stood on the stage me and Tuishaly yell out go Tamarah, go Betty! As they start the waiata I felt proud of our school up their representing our school. Later the roopu had finished and we got out of the seats and walked out well waiting for TRPM to come outside. Finally they arrived and our supporting group did a haka tautoko. But then we hade to wait longer cause we had to wait For Tamarah and Xavier to came out  and so then they did come out and TRPM and and all of us did another haka tautoko. Then about 10-20 minutes later we leave to go back to school. At school everyone was happy to be back and still to this day we think TRPM is still the best. 

Speech

This term we were learning to write our speech's for the speech competition. The hard part was thinking of a topic to write but in the end I ended up writing about fighting. The easy part was writing my 5 paragraphs on the topic. If I was to change something about my speech it would be to change some words to make the speech more interesting. The interesting part about my speech is how much people go to hospital each year. Why did I decide to write about fighting? I chose to write about fighting because women get : Hurt, abused or maybe even seriously injured. 

here is my speech:

Hangi prep

Last week my class and I learnt how to prep the hangi for our kaumatua and kuia day. When we did the hangi the boys wen't to chop down some wood and us girls preped the hangi like  chopped the potatoes and peel the onion. The easy part was blending the bread to make the stuffing. The hard part was to peel the onions because it made me and my friends cry. The challenging part was trying not to cut my hand, but I did. My next step will be to learn how to not cut my hand.
Here are some photos and videos:
