I am sorry I haven't posted this last week but here it is. Our task was complete this presentation and my goal was learn at least three things at the most. I learnt some things about rabbits, like what would kill them, how they are herbivores and loads more. Another thing I have learnt are a few word meanings and poisoning. For example; Strychnine is a poisoning that you shoot to kill. One more example is prompted, which means (of an event or fact) cause or bring about (an action or feeling). My third and final thing that I learnt is more about they WALT. I have learnt so much more about predicting and how we predict before, during and after. 

My Acrostic Poem-Samoa

This is a acrostic poem that I wrote with  my very close friend that is Mya.

              

What is Culture

Culture’s are what make countries unique. Each country has different cultural activities and cultural rituals. Culture is seen in people writing, religion, music, clothes,cooking and what they do.

Culture also includes the way people understand the world and their own lives. Different countries have different culture’s. For example, some older Japanese people wear kimono’s, arrange flowers in vases and have tea ceremonies.          

My family comes from two places, one from place is from Samoa so I’m half Samoan. In Samoa we do a lot of dancing,eating and those sort of things. I have only been to Samoa once but I want to go again, because it was really,really fun.    

The other place where I come from is New Zealand, which means that I am half Pakeha not half Maori. In this culture it's pretty much normal culture that most people in New Zealand is. L

100 Commemoration of the World War 1

World War 1

Voice Recorder >>

Franz Ferdinand was shot by a crazy man, he was in his car with his wife at this time. Lots of people mostly soldiers were going for the crazy man and lots of people were going for Franz Ferdinand. This is how the war began.

That shot was called "the shot that echoed around the world”. It was a really sad shot, but our soldiers fought in the war for us. 

For us to remember there is a saying it’s "lest we forget". We must remember people who fought for our country.

The troops of New Zealand and of Australian were called ANZAC's. We wear poppy to remember them. Some of the names are written on the wall in the Auckland museum. I know one of them, he was my Papa.

Lest we forget

My Term 2 Holiday Highlight

My Holiday Highlight

My holiday highlight was all about waking up really early in the morning and going to the garage at my Aunty's house for an something every day for the first week.  If you guessed art course you're right, but you probably didn't though. Did I just you want to hear more, well it all started…     So my Dad,sister,brother and other family members went to Samoa so we had to say goodbye at the airport.Of course we did. After we went  to see them off we went to Carl’s Junior for dinner with my two other sister’s and my Mum. The next day we went to my Aunty’s house with no stops for food or anything but luckily my Mum brought food.

Once we got there we had dinner and went to bed. Well I was in bed I was thinking about waking early to have my breakfast and that’s what happened. But then the doorbell started to ring. It was the people from the art course and I had to meet everyone and it was hard trying to meet 14 people. The next day one more person came and I had to meet him to. After the morning art course with the people over the age of 8 the afternoon kids came. But they were the age of 8 years old or younger. I had to help my Aunty do the little kids art course. It was sort of fun but really loud. Third day of the art course I meet a friend who always sat next to me. She was really friendly and nice.

I had the best time at the art course. My highlight of my holiday highlight was at the end of the art course we had an expression to show our work to our parents. It would be funny if my cousins, went because their Mum knew everything about what they were doing.
