Kahui Art

 Today in wananga we started making kahui art. The whole school is doing a 'house' competition where you submit artwork that represents mana horomaka and the school. Here is the photo of my artwork. Mana horomaka to me is people in the community coming together making this place what it is. The place doesn't make it, the people do. I am a proud student because it is a great school to be at with the kids and the staff.

200 Word Challenge

Today in wananga instead of doing a 100 Word Challenge we did a 200 Word Challenge. Also we did a piece of music from the movie Forest Gump. Here is my writing and the music. Enjoy.

I was dancing through the studio, leaping and twirling. I love ballet, I have since I could walk. Today I was practising in my private studio that I paid for because I worked at a top end restaurant. The song was called The Flying Feather which my grandmother had written for me. I taught myself the dance, it was quite hard but I knew I could do it. But it was difficult for me because my grandmother had just passed and I missed her so much but I knew I had to keep going. I danced and danced but I just couldn’t get it right so I went for a walk to the graveyard to talk to her. I put flowers in the pot and said “ I love you grandma “ Then I walked back to the studio. I decided that this one was going to be the one where I didn’t muck up and I think going to the graveyard worked because I didn’t muck up and I stayed strong. Which was the best thing I could do.

Slam Dunk Paragraph ~ The Middle Ages

Here is my paragraph about life in the middle ages. Enjoy.

What was life like in the middle ages? Well interestingly it was different for the rich and poor. Rich people like the King and Queen lived in castles, ate lots of food and got to shower everyday. On the other hand poor people lived on farms ate at least twice a week and hardy showered. This was important because if we didn't have these differences then we would now and we would probably be at world war 16 by now. Yes, they all had their differences but people are just people and they should be treated the same.

!00 Word Challenge

Today in wananga we are doing another 100 word challenge. Enjoy.

I love winter, especially when it snows. But this winter was weird, something wasn’t right. In the news there were stories about ‘magical’ happenings with snowmen . I never saw anything until Christmas eve. I was outside playing in the snow when I heard a strange noise. It was like talking but it was muffled and really, really loud. So I walked towards the noise and then I saw the strangest thing. Snowmen having a tea party ! I wasn’t scared until they got up and started walking towards me so I sprinted towards the front door but something grabbed my foot..

Cooking - Home Economics

Today in cooking we made healthy food called pita pockets they were really good, in them there were lettuce/spinach, carrots, cheese, ham, and also tomato, and another thing onion. But you didn't have to put onion in them.

 

here is a similar picture to what we had done in class today for cooking... they tasted real good and next time we would have to bring our phones so we could take some photos. Everyone worked in groups of 4. In my group I had Roxy , TJ and Emily

Also after we had created/ put what we wanted in our pita pocket the teacher wrote down in scores from 1-3 of how good they were, the score i had got was a 2 and a half cause it was really good the other people in my group got a 1 and a 2 and a half, She basically rates them of how we had cut them and after we had filled them up.

Leadership

Today for wananga we are working on the island task. We have to write about someone and explain how I think they would be a leader on the island. I chose my best friend Shelby. Here is my writing.

I chose Shelby as my example because she is a strong person and a good leader. I think Shelby would control every ones arguments and then talk to them one on one to sort out any issues to prevent anymore troubles. Then I think she would set everyone a small group and then that group a task that would help the survivors. After that she would look at what everyone had collected or built and then congratulate them on what they had accomplished. That is what I think Shelby would do.

100 Word Challenge

Yesterday we started our second 100 word challenge. I really like the photo for this one because it is a zebra on a type rope above the city. Here is the photo and my work :)

Everyone has a time in their life when you are in a place you are not supposed to be. Take me for example, I'm a Zebra and I'm on a type rope over the city of New York. I guess you could try and picture that but it might be quite hard. I’m not sure how I’m going to get down but you could probably actually never mind you can call this a catastrophe! Or for those people who like using easy words, a very bad situation Well I should probably get going now but have a great da- Oops.
