Summer Learning Journey week 1 Day 3 Activity 2🌝

Hello fellow bloggers, today I have week 1 day 3 activity 2.

Here is my small piece of writing.

All of us are members of a family. Some of us have large families and some of us have very small families. When I have the opportunity to talk about my family and my ancestry I sometimes choose to use a pepeha. It is a very special way of identifying who I am and where I come from. There are many different versions of pepeha but most provide people with information about who you are and where you come from (i.e. your whakapapa). Use the template provided below to prepare your own unique pepeha. If you need help please watch this short movie clip on preparing a pepeha.

PEPEHA

Ko ? te maunga    The mountain that I affiliate* to is ?

Ko ? te waka The waka that I affiliate to is ?

Summer Learning Journey Day 3 Activity 1

Hello fellow bloggers, 

today I have day 3 activity 1 of week 1 here is my piece of writing called The More, the Merrier?

In the 1800s, most families were pretty big. In fact, many parents had an average of seven to nine children.  Imagine that you were a child in the 1800s and you had nine siblings.

On your blog, please tell us how you would feel. Would you enjoy being a member of such a large family? Why or why not?

I think that I would love to be in such a big family we may not get along all the time but we will all love each anther the same.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 2 Activity 2

Hello fellow bloggers,

Today my 2 activity is The Rules of Engagement here is the little piece of writing for my activity

During the early years in New Zealand, men and women would often marry at a young age. Women were expected to have babies and remain in the home caring for their children. Few, if any, left home in search of work. Men, on the other hand, were expected to work outside of the home.

These days, we don’t have the same strict expectations about work. Girls and boys can choose their own path in life. In fact, I was lucky enough to go to university and to follow my dream of becoming a teacher!

What is your dream job? Draw a picture of yourself doing your dream job and post it on your blog. You could be a doctor, an actor or even a zookeeper! I have drawn myself taking a picture of a beautiful castle in Poland because I would love to become a travel blogger and photographer one day.

Here is my drawing, I want to be a nurse.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 2 Task 1

Hello fellow bloggers,

today my first task is a House or a Home here is the little piece  of writing,

In the 1800s, most Māori lived in villages called pa. Each village had many buildings – kauta where people cooked, pataka where they stored goods and wharepuni where the Māori slept. A traditional wharepuni had a thatched roof and walls made of timber, fern, rushes and bark. Look at the picture below of a traditional wharepuni. Does it look like your house?

Here is my instructions for this task,

On your blog, compare the wharepuni to your own home. What are two similarities and two differences between a wharepuni and your house?

  Similarity: You can sleep in it.

Differences: A house you can call A home and a wharepuni you can't.
 There are the similarity and differences.

  

Bonus Task Week 1 Day 1

Hello fellow bloggers, 

my last blog post for today is my bonus task Here are my bonus  task is called Ama Waka  here is my small peice of writing

To this day, the people of New Zealand still use waka. Instead of using their waka to transport them from one place to another, they sometimes use waka in special events and in sporting competitions such as Waka Ama. Both boys and girls compete in Waka Ama boat races.

Here are my instructions for my bonus task 

Watch this short video of a Waka Ama race. On your blog tell us whether you would like to be in a Waka Ama race one day. Why or why not?

I would love to be in a Waka Ama one day because I could really posh my self to make it.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 1Task 2

Hello Fellow Bloggers 

This week for day 1 for Summer Learning Journey I have task 2 witch is setting sail here is the small story that they gave me for my second task today

The first settlers to come to New Zealand must have been really brave! They had to leave their original homes and sail thousands of miles across the ocean on a special boat called a ‘waka’ to reach New Zealand.

And here is the instructions for this task 

Imagine that you were on board one of the wakas. On your blog, write a short letter to a friend telling them about your voyage to New Zealand. In the letter be sure to tell them how you feel about moving to a new country. If it was me, I would have felt really nervous…

Dear Cerys 

I am moving to a new country by waka , I am feeling really nervous but existed at the same time wish me good luck in my new country Cerys 

From Charlie  

Week 1 Day 1 Task 1 of the Summer Learning Journey

Hello Fellow Bloggers 

Happy Holidays,

This year I have sighed up for Summer Learning Journey. 

Today I have for you task 1 of  week 1. 

This task is  The First Settlers here is the small piece of writing I got for my task, It is widely believed that the first people to arrive in New Zealand came from Polynesia Most historians believe that they landed in New Zealand over 700 years ago. Although they were originally from many different countries, these settlers learned to live together and, eventually, formed their own distinct culture known as ‘Māori.’  Māori have their own language, traditions, and culture.

Follow this link to read a short story about a famous man in Māori mythology – Maui. On your blog, post three facts that you learned about this interesting man.

Here is my 3 facts about Maui,

Maui is strong, he likes to trick people (in the story from the link he tricked his older brothers) and he comes from Aotearoa. (New Zealand)
