Signs of migration within my whanau

 Kia ora today i will be blogging about migration within my whanau / family. In this I have done my tupuna from my dad’s side and also my mum's side .This migration within my whanau/ family is about knowing your tupuna more and also finding where they migrated from .oh and also just remembering memories with them.What have I learnt ? I have learnt that my tupuna are all from New Zealand and are all maori , but one of my papa’s is  also half croatian from his dad’s side I think , I'm not quite sure if it's from his dad side  cause i'm actually not sure what line it comes down .Something else I have learnt like this topic is moving to another country and how not everyone's the same . This research project I have done supports my learning because while we learn about about our tupuna , we also got to find out where our tupuna migrated from . Overall I think this was a really good topic to do because not only we did it for our work but we also did so we could get to know our tupuna better and where they were from and what .culture they are .

Balaclava story

 In English we were working on the Balaclava story. The story was about this boy that really wanted to be in the balaclava gang, a balaclava is a ski hat or a hat.Some of the things that was interesting was when he was forcing him self to steal a balaclava, I was shocked. He was so desperate to have one and wanted to be in the gang, and since he wasn't in the gang his friends started ignoring him.

After he stole it and heard that someone's balaclava was missing he started felling guilty. After that his mum bought him his own balaclava, so he felt even more guilty and started regretting what he did.

 After that i created a work art and put in some of the key words that i found in the story.

Own push, pull and Intervening Obstacles

 Kia ora my name is Kailah and We are learning about push pull factors and intervening obstacles.Describing a story using, push and pull factors and intervening obstacles.We have learnt that push and pull factors are the same but have different meanings either it's happy, sad or something that prevents things from happening.I have learnt that doing this exercise is helpful towards our learning and an easier way to explain what the story is about.It has changed because we always used to do the basics but now using push, pull factors it's easy to work with and gives more detail.Is that it's not basic but is more explainable to work with.It helps with the details and has more expresses to it.

Waitangi what really happened

Last term we were working on a series that is called What really happened , what really happened was  7 videos long , we had to watch all the videos and  answer all the questions.Something I think was positive about this what really happened series was that we learnt a lot of facts about the treaty .I liked when Hone Heke was first to sign but did it so he could act like a real OG rangatira. He made the move that everyone else was hesitant about, but he shrugged it off.It truly made me understand the value and worth of our Mauri as Maori. It made me see the insight of it all; behind the scenes if I may. Finally one question i would like to leave you to answer is , who was first person to sign the treaty.
