what's the weather? Kei te pehea te ahua o te rangi?

 


Hi, guys for the past 5 to 6 weeks we have been learning Maori we had to make a scratch about how to say the weather in Maori. it was fun for me. 
I am really bad at scratch so please don't judge:). 

what was challenging for me? for me it was finding all the tools on scratch it was very confusing:(  
Question time:) do u like scratch if not why? did u learn anything?

Holes


 In reading, we are reading a book called Holes, it is a very good book. It's about a boy called Stanley  Yelnuts ( also if u write it backwards it still spells Stanley Yelnuts, don't believe me? try it out.)

Here is some of the story:

  • Stanley  Yelnuts was sent to camp green lake for a crime he didn't even do:(
  •  He was accused of stealing Clyde Livingston shoes(famous baseball player)
  •  Camp green lake sounds like a green lushes place with a beautiful lake and a lot of trees, but instead, it's none of those things but there are two trees. 
  • what do u do at camp green lake? u dig holes yes... holes have to dig one hole a day its sounds easy but it has to be 5FTx 5FTx 5FT
  • Stanley's family is poor (this part is in the book)
Stanley and his parents had tried to pretend that he was just going away to camp for a while, just like
rich kids do. 
When Stanley was younger he used to play with stuffed animals, and pretend the animals
were at camp. 
Camp Fun and Games he called it, Sometimes he'd have them play soccer with a marble,
Other times they'd run an obstacle course, or go bungee jumping off a table, tied to broken rubber
bands. 
Now Stanley tried to pretend he was going to Camp Fun.

Treaty of Waitangi

Hello, guys and girls for school we learned about the treaty of Waitangi, we had to make a voki, We had to put it in a Maori or a British perspective I chose Maori.  Voki is very fun including choosing a voice to try it out( P.S I had to video it on my dad's phone and I was a bit shaking so that's why)
 

Well bye, have a great day:)
