The Maoris point of View

 

Kia ora Bloggers! My name is Lucy and I am a student at Marshland school. Today, we have learned more about the treaty of Waitangi. There were actually 2 Versions of the treaty. The Maori one promised the Maori that they would have full control over their lands and that the queen would protect them. The English one says that the English get all the Sovereignty and could buy the land. This ended up with War and confusion, English taking away their culture and there freedom. This video is about a Maori's point of view of how they felt about all the changes happening. I don't think this is my best work because the app I was using didn't let me download it and I had to use screencastify to video. We had to write a script for what the Maori would say and put it on the app Voki. I found it fun to write it down but the video was very annoying because of all the mistakes. 

What point of View would you choose? Maori or English?

E noho rā!

The Mystery's of the Tāmoko Revealed!

 

Kia ora Bloggers!

My name is Lucy and I am a student at Marshland school. Last week we were assigned  to watch, research and make notes on the traditional gorgeous Tamoko! Today, after we finished our art we had to finish off work we hadn't finish yet. I hadn't done my Poster for Tamoko, so heres what I achieved today. I copied my facts that I had written down in my book onto the poster and made it look stylish and Cool. It wasn't to hard nor to easy to make. I had fun looking at all  the different fonts and Pictures I could use. Thank you once again Canva! Sorry if you can't read the writing. It wouldn't let me download it.

What are some famous Tamoko artists? What are some Tamoko designs?

The Coming together of Maori & the English

 

Kia ora Koutou! My name is Lucy and I am a Marshland school Student. From the beginning of this week, we have began Inquiry and looked in on the Treaty of Waitangi. We also researched and watched lots of videos about when Captain Cook came to NZ. The task that we had to do was the journey Captain Cook took to NZ and write about all the issues that happened on board and how long the Voyage was. I found it quite Cool to find out how the English got across that never ending ocean. Some of the facts were very surprising!

Whats your favourite fact?

Staying safe outside of School & Home

 

Kia ora Team! It's Lucy and Today (Plus last week on Wednesday) the teachers have taught us about keeping ourselves Safe outside of School and Home. Imagine if a random guy comes up and trys to grab you or is suspiciously following you in their car. But one of the most common scenarios is being left home alone and a drunk Man knocks on your door. You would be pretty freaked out, right? So, the teachers told us to make a poster on Canva about what to do in that type of situation. We made up a scenario and added Options of what you could do and their consequences. I hope you like mine. It was really fun to think up a cool story about a unsafe scenario.

What would you do if somebody knocked on your door when your Home alone? Could you add some other Options?

All about little old ME!

 

Hello, Bloggers! My name is Lucy and I am a student at Marshland school. The blog post is all about the little details in my life. It will also help you get to know me more. The first photo you can see up there is a Lego portrait of Me. We were assigned that project so the Teachers could see my RAD drawing skills (Just Kidding!) and get to know us more. We were given a template of the body and head of a Lego person and we had to draw a Face, Hair and clothes onto it. I tried very hard to make it look like me. I had fun playing around with all the different types of expressions I could make and cool hairstyles. I settled with a "small smile" face and me with my hair out. I found it fun and a bit of a challenge. The video is a little slideshow about all the fun facts about me. It included my Family, Favourite colour and food. Plus much more. We used Canva templates to start us off and give us a bit of a head-start. I hope you enjoy my post and use Canva More often. 

Whats your favourite colour and Food? Do you have any pets?

Don't you just love the Maori for their way with words?

 

Tēna Koutou Bloggers! My name is Lucy and I am a student at Marshland school. Today, (with help from the Teachers) Toroa learned and created their Beautiful Pepehas. We included our Family, where we came from, our Mountain and our River. After we wrote our Pepehas down, the Teachers told us to make a adobe spark video version. It took a lot of hard work, encouragement and resilience. I found it challenging but fun. I hope my Pepeha will help you get to know me more, as it talks a lot about ME! I think that the Maori are are a very unique and beautiful culture and I hope you think so too. Enjoy my Pepeha!

What do you think of the Maori culture?

The highest view in Wainui Camp

Kia ora bloggers! Happy new school year! I 'm back now and with a whole new blog post. Last week, Toroa hub went to Wainui camp for 3 nights and 4 days. We did heaps of awesome and cool activities but one of the fun activities I would like to highlight are the high ropes. It was fun but it gave me a good challenge. I was a little bit  scared near the top but with some kind words and some strong encouragement, I made it to the top. It felt wonderful when I was back on the ground, but my legs were shaking like crazy. For a reflecting task, we got to choose which activity we liked the most and choose a creative way to write it down. I decided to do a comic strip. I hope you enjoy the drawings.

What camp have you been too and what was your favourite activity?
