poem

WALT creatively write and present a piece of poetry.
reflection: I choose to write a acrostic poem because it was the easiest in my opinion. I choose all those because they relate to refugee somehow. If we had to leave new Zealand what country would you go to?

refuge

missing boy

story

what was your part of the story so far?

travel distance

translate

tell me did you know any of these words before you saw this.

Syrian pounds

my homemade boat

my boat is a very unique design it has steel barrels to make it float a tarp for shade/shelter fishing rod to catch food fire for warmth, ply wood for a platform.

my suitcase

my suitcase would contain food because you never know how long your gonna go before you find a food shop or any food, phone for entertainment, clothes so you look presentable,water so you don't die from dehydration and a knife for protection.

poster

germany

reflection I have learnt a lot throughout researching this country because its not something I would do in my own time. I learnt stuff such as the capital of Germany is Berlin and that basketball is a popular sport over there. this took me a little bit longer then it would me at school because all of the distractions such as my little brother being annoying as always

maori gods

WALT  write to describe how nga atua Maori relate to us.

This term, Huia whanau have been talking about maori gods. The first thing we did was a bus stop activity to find out what we already knew. We then read the creation story and retold it in our own creative way. I chose to work collaboratively with Lopala and Liam and we made a storyboard which is like a comic but we only put the main parts in there because we didn't have enough room to do the whole story. as a class, we identified some important atua (gods) 

: Rongo-ma-tane, Maui, Ruaumoko, Tumatauenga, Tawhirimatea, Tangaroa. as a class we started working on our collaborative art  we got a section of the big picture and had to decide on what colour to do the gods. On Wednesday, we learnt about the different feeling and emotions of the different atua (gods) then miss thought us a song with actions.  what god do you relate to? 

respect

WALT create a quality blog post for our online audience, using correct punctuation.

What is respect?

Respect is when you treat someone or something with manaakitanga. Manaakitanga is when you care for something or someone. For example respect may look like we listen and wait our turn to share. It may also look like someone offers you something you would say thank you. or if someone asks you if you want something you would say yes please or no thank you those are manners.

that is some examples of respect we try to use that in our everyday life.
