Dad (Richard)

My favourite things to do in the summer are having a nice swim in a warm river, and having exiting adventures and exploring alone able to listen to the world around him.

Brother (Tavis) 

My favourite things to do in the summer are swimming in a warm river at low tide I find it so fun. I also like making huts with my two friends. We have made so pretty awesome ones.

Mum (Christina) 

My favourite thing to do in the summer is to do water the gardens in the evening when the sun is just about to go the weather is nice and warm. It is all silent apart from the bird call and the water drops falling onto the plantes.

Activity 1: A waiata in your heart .

I use to go to barrytown school and know I go to grey main school I was in kapahaka and was the girl leader we sang Nga Iwi E and it just remind me of that wonderful small school.
At the kapahaka competition there was always E Te Iwi E playing and it is just a beautiful song.
I don't have any that run in the family or anything because I have no Maori blood in me but I still enjoy kapahaka.

Bonus Activity: Musical festival Matatiti.

On these to songs I say that Te Puku O Te lka id number one its sounds so beautiful and I almost in a instant feel calmer.

In number two in my  list  Te lti Kahurangi That women's voice sounds so strong and powerful and the instrument thing just brings something a little extra.

Third is Tamatea Arikinui The poi was amazing and they where all in sink but the song wasn't as good as the others.

Activity 1: A house or a home?

This is a wharepuni.


















This is my home .

Here are the differences in two different drawings

These 4 things are the same we have Guardians (taniwhas) in front of our house (Sort of)

Both of these are homes to people and shelters. They are homes to us and to all our family values, treasurers and memories, we all live in our own homes happily... Hopefully... 

The Difference with this is that the shape is different our has more of walls and they basically just a sloop.
We have wood, brick, stone, all kinds of materials to build houses and they only had wood and they carved it to tell the story of their history.

Activity 2: The rules of engagement.

Here are my pictures that I have drawn  myself - no tracing just sketching all from my mind. My dream job would be a professional dancer. I am all ready a jazz and ballet dancer. I go to competitions and sometimes earn awards. There is some kind of story in it. It starts with the present, it is a dream of looking in the mirror and your see your future self on pointe (a kind of ballet shoe) and in a pretty tutu.

i want to be a professional dancer because dancing is my passion.  I dance 5 classes a week and love the feeling of finishing a dance knowing i have done really really well. Hope you like :)

And then doing it!

Bonus Activity: Special Meals.

My favourite food is from a restaurant call Joe's Garage. There is a delicious menu and I love the pork belly Mmm. Here it is.

The best descriptive words my Mum said about it was, "God it was good"but her face told another story.  Probably the same with mine...... The meat was juicy and tender, the crackling was crunchy and crackly, the potato was sweet and smooth and I didn't eat the salad.  I am a carnivore😀
