Key + blue gem poem

Get NZ Writing - poetry Over the past few weeks we have been part of the "Get NZ Writing" poetry project. This project aimed to get 96,000 poems written across NZ! We were sent a tin with objects in it and we used one of these objects to write poems. Here are my poems.

Powhiri Writing

We have been learning about being welcomed onto a Marae. Here is my writing work about powhiri.

Kawa of care

We are learning to follow the kawa of care which tells us  how to look after our devises and be cyber smart.We had to choose three rules to write about. Here is my work.

Wharenui

We have been learning about a Wharenui because we will be going to one.

WHARENUI

A wharenui is like a book because all wharenui tell a different story

about their tribe in the past. The wharenui represents a ancestor that has
passed away that the people that own the marae want to remember.The head is
called a koruru, the arms are called maihi, the hands are called raparapa, the
spine is called tahuhu,the heart is called the Poutokomanawa and the ribs are
called heke.

A Marae can be used for many different things. When a natural disaster
happens if you are not safe at your house you could always stay at the Marae
for free.They could give you food, water and somewhere to sleep.You could
have celebrations, Wedding,Birthdays and funerals at the Marae.

Sometimes they have special important meetings at the Marae.

Karoro school values

For the  beginning of the year we have been learning about our school values. Here is my work showing our school values and some ways we can demonstrate these.
