Japanese

 Here is a link to our slides 

In the past week we had to learn about cultures around the world. We  chose Japanese. We had to learn about what Japanese eat, famous games, their traditional holiday, traditional clothing, traditional kai, location, traditional music and beliefs and values. 

I now know that an kimono is a japanese traditional  piece of clothing

I learnt that the belt that goes around the kimono is called an obi 

I like how japanese kai is sushi

And here is a link to where I planned my blog with my roupu. LINK

Waka Hourua

Then we started to research waka hourua after we finished researching we took out key words and write it on our own slide. Finally we planed where were putting everything on our piece of paper and  we showed our teacher the photos once she saw them she printed them so we could cut out and glue them on our brown piece of paper were we planed to put everything.

Cool Information about Panthers

Description 

Panthers are apart of the big cat like Lions, Jaguars, Leopards and other kinds of big cats.                            Panthers have sharp claws so they can climb tall trees. They are black to blend in with dark backgrounds and also so its prey can't see or hear it coming.

Diet

Panthers hunt for dear, wild boar, wild hogs, rabbits, dogs, birds and fish. Once they get their prey they climb a tree and eats it in the branches.

Habitats

You can usually find them in tropical and deciduous forest. The panthers can also be found in marsh, swamplands, grasslands, deserts and mountains.

Did you know.

Panthers are classified as endangered. Panthers eat meat so they are classified as carnivores. Panthers come in 4 colours black, white, yellowish and yellowish with black dots

Koru art

     

                        This is my koru art.

                        I liked  watering it with a paint brush.

                        Next time I could improve on my drawing.

           

Learn about The beginning

 here are phases of Maori evolution. 

I am going to tell you about the first phase ‘Te Kore’.

Te Kore is the void, the nothingness before time began.

Before Ranginui and Papatuanuku were in their embrace, before the creation of all our Atua, before life as we know it, was ‘Te Kore’

The void where there was nothing but ideas and possibilities.

Na Te Kore, Te Pō

Ki te Whai-Ao

Ki te Ao-Mārama

Tihei mauri-ora

From the void, the night

To the glimmer of dawn

To the bright light of day

There is life

-Te Kore

Here is a picture I made of Te Kore.

(insert a picture of your colouring in)

Have you ever heard of Te Kore? Do you know what the next phase is?

The best mothers day

 We made a Mother's day card.

First we researched  quotes and poems about Mothers day in Maori and English.

After deciding which one to use. we wrote it into our pukapuka then onto our cards.

I chose this one: Ko te whaea te takere o te waka - Mothers are like the hull of a canoe. they are the heart of the family by MHem.

Next we found an origami flower tutorial on youtube and created a flower for the card.

Finally we made a body sugar scrub out of sugar, coconut oil, essential oil and food colouring. My scrub was lemon scented.

What did you make your mum for mothers day?
