Tuna and Takakau

Last week we have tuna and takakau  people had to bring a short fin eel until Wednesday the reason why we had to bring short fin eels is because the long fin eel and going existence, the person with the biggest girth,weight and longest length was me I had all of them for my weight it was 5kg ,length 86.5cm and the girth was 15.5cm after all of that some people made some creative takakau we even had it with some yummy hangi and there was a prize for the tasty and the creative designed takakau. It was great seeing family members coming in to class and they see their kids or Grandchild's learning.

These photos are of me and my tuna  and the people that weighed in 

Two of theses people had long fins .

For the past 2 terms we have been learning Maori with Whaea Whetu we learned how to use it in different sentences, I really enjoy having Whaea Whetu an hour a week . Only thing I think  is hard is that once we've finish what we have learnt we had to get up in front of the class and say it in front of everybody  after all I hope you enjoyed.

Maori Direction

Today we did a maze but we had to speak Maori to our partner and they had to be blindfolded. My partner was Ocean she did well listing to me speak Maori, but her speaking Maori when I was blindfolded was hard. The easy part was speaking Maori because it was easy. The hard part was drawing and trying to listen to Ocean while she is speaking Te reo. Here is my maze this how I done. Enjoy...? The words we had to use Haere totika- Go straight Piki ake- go up Heke iho-go down ka tu- stop

Te reo selfi video

For the past week I've been working on my te reo selfie movie, it's a movie where you speak Te reo Maori and explain who you are and what you do. For example I had to say something I like and then translate it into Maori. I put everything into a Imovie and edit my movie and run over it so their was so mistakes, The hardest part was recording and editing and uploading that was really stressful because on top of that I had to do my art and another movie we're currently making so yeah. The easy part was I'm just going to be honest nothing, nothing was easy at all because you have to plan what your going to do next and what sentence your going to say, you have the sentence on lock down and not looking at the screen. I think this activity was the hardest thing I've ever done in primary. But over all I loved the experience and helped me to get comfortable around a camera. That's it I hope you like my movie comment if you can. I hope you enjoy my movie👍👍

Te reo

Today we had a Maori lesson and we had to make a video about what we learn't. The hard part was trying not to laugh because we were starring at each other and we tried not to laugh in the video. The easy part was speaking Maori because we were practising before the video. I hope you enjoy my groups video

Pepeha

This week we have been going over our Pepeha again. At our school everyone gets and opportunity to share their pepeha in our school taumata so we need to know it and be able to say it confidently in front of our school. I have found it easy to learn my pepeha off by heart but am nervous to say it in front of the school. I hope over the year I will be confident to try. Have you got any tips for how to speak in front of an audience?
