Team Tui expo

On Friday the 8th of December Team Tui had a expo where we showed all our creations that we made for the past few weeks some students from the little classes came and even parents came to see what the students had made  . There was a lot of amazing creations that were made such as Faka ha’apai, Ti-ti, Kufi and many more other creations that were made. The expo also sold food and drinks but overall the expo was really fun and it was cool getting to see the different creations that were made.

Matariki reflection

On Thursday Glen Taylor had a matariki festival we performed in front of parents, Glenbrae, Pt England and Glendowie primary school. First the Kapa Haka group went and then from there the rest of the schools went and the kids from our school. I really enjoyed the performances and the maori songs that they presented.

After everybody finished performing we then went back to our classes and had workshops. The experience with everybody coming in and having a look at our workshop was so cool because we got to share all our hard work with them. I would definitely love to do this again because it was such a fun and great experience to have.

Metaphor [Figurative language]

This week for writing we are learning about figurative language. For our first word that we were learning about was Metaphor. This task or activity was very easy and fun because there were riddles and sentences that we had to create ourselves.  I also learnt that Metaphor is a comparison of two unlike things that says one thing is another.

 

Cybersmart challenge WK2

The Cybersmart challenge week 2 was called how do other countries celebrate new years. Some countries that were provided or given with the slides were Denmark, South Africa, Japan, South Korea ETC. And it was very interesting to learn about what other countries do to celebrate the new year. I think my favourite country that I was really captivated by was probably South Korea. Because it was very interesting how they return to their parents home town and then perform an ancestral dance to give them good luck for the new year ahead.
