Summer Blogging Challenge Week 1 Day 4 Activity 1+bonus

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😀

Summer Blogging Challenge Week 1 Day 1 Activity 1,2+ Bonus

Activity 1: The first settlers.

      1. Māui was a skinny person. Not one of the big Māori men like chiefs and warriors who are big, bold and muscely. Maui had a strong heart and was very courageous. His brothers were very greedy and only thought about themselves, however Māui thought about all the other people in the village.

     2. Legend says that New Zealand is made up of the fish that Māui caught and the canoe. The South Island is the big canoe that Māui and his brothers sailed on to go fishing, and the North Island is the fish Māui caught that his brothers greedily started to eat. This is how the legend explains New Zealands' shape and land formation.


    3. Once Māui caught the fish he went to get help, his brothers started to carve up and fight over the fish causing chaos. They did this all with greed and hunger without praying to the gods. Because they did not pay respect the fish became rough with hills, mountains and valleys all over it. This is why our country has a lot of mountains and valleys.

Activity 2: Setting sail.

Dear Mum,
The waters may be interesting but are also evil. We are only a week into the trip and we have had 5 people drown over board. I have been sick once or twice but not as much as some others. Since I am one of the only women, we are expected to sit at the back of the boat and be sick. But most of us have been sick less than some of the men. I have this strange feeling, really what I mean I have a lot of feelings that are all mixed together. I feel  excited + confused + sad + tired = apprehensive. I feel sorry for the family's that have lost one of them. How is our family? How's life without the most amazing daughter in the world!! I promise to be the best daughter and make you very proud
love
Iris x

Bonus Activity: Waka Ama.

Waka ama needs coordination, team work, endurance and explosive physical power. On my eleventh birthday I went double kayaking and I spent a lot of time going in circles and going nowhere. I think for me to do waka ama, I would need to practice for 24 hours, 365 days and 52 weeks with lots of patience and strength.

I am a Dancer, and I love doing that. Waka Ama is not for me.

Term 4 week 1 reflections

I am so sore from athletics yesterday. I qualified for high-jump, shot put and maybe long jump.

Today is grandparents day. I love all my grandparents even the ones I haven't meet and never will get the chance. I was as an ambassador a meet and greet person and there where a lot of grand parents. It would be be amazing if Grammy Pammy, Nana, Funny Grandy, Uncle Keth, Uncle Alister, and even Grandad Neil could come to school. And today I really hope that Funny Grandy (my great grandad Robin) had a amazing day and was not complaining that there was to many lady's in his rest home!

We have started a new book for chapter chat (Which I have already read) called Wonder and that is an AMAZING book. we had to do two tasks I did two art tasks on was a make a picture that is related to the book cover.  There was a lot of work involved that you don't want to hear!  I put a quote at the top that says you can't blend in when your born to stand out. I hope you like!

My other task was to draw a picture of August's (the main charter) new teacher they say she looks like Mon Mothma I tried my best!

Our literacy was all grandparents day and I would like to show you my writing about when I am a grandparent. 

I hope you have a Amazing long holiday and also a -happy -happy -happy labour day!

Hi everyone and welcome to team 3 This year is going fast at home on the farm we are in calving and we already have 12 calves probably more right know as I am typing this. As stuff is getting crazy at home stuff will soon be getting crazy at school because it's term 3 and we all know what that means PREP Ya if you don't know what prep means it is a activity when lots of schools have to make things in groups and sell them. It helps us prepare for good jobs when were older. We had to make a personal profile here is my one.



For Chapter Chat for hands on we had to run 100 meter and try run it in 9.58 seconds like how is that possible but I ran it in 20 seconds it looks really far when you look at it but as soon as you start running it feel really short but it is not.
Here is my maths for this week it was like What how do you do this but i got the hang of it.
