Naming Directions In Maori!

Every Thursday, Mrs Riley the teacher in room nine comes and teaches us actions in Maori and  greetings we have never thought of. Today I will teach you something that I have learnt during that time.

Our first week our WALT was to ask questions in Maori of course. Kei te pehea koe? This means how are you in Maori. Kei te - ahaulau. This is your response but that hyphen is where you can pick what to say. Kei te pai ahau, this means I'm good, but if course in Maori. There is so many words, ngenge means tired, riri means angry, pouri is sad and hari koa is happy. 

I hope you have learnt something new from this post. 

What Am I?

I have so many patterns on me. I'm usually in  a place where it's blazing hot!! I smell  like wood or plantation and it takes a long process to make me. Luckily at the end I look beautiful! I come in many different sizes, but my shape is usually square or rectangle. With four corners and my one face. I'm usually amber and never breath oxygen.  

Last of all I am very unique to Pacific Islanders. (Especially Tongan's)

What Am I?

What I Want To Improve On..

This is me about like two days ago. In swimming some people think I am a very fast swimmer but I am not. Either way something I want to improve on is back stroke. Back stroke is when you have to lie on your back and then do your freestyle arms but backwards at the same time. For some people it's very easy, but for me it's extremely difficult.

I learnt the secret about floating on my back. To me that actually felt much more better, instead of just floating on my back and my legs sinking. Every week for swimming we have tutors and we split up into two groups, Our tutors name was Fancy Nancy. She is hilarious and she made everybody laugh before we got into the pool.

Pressure, Force and HEAT!

Kia Orana and welcome. Today we did a science experiment that we did for our inquiry. We took metal and put water inside and put the lid on. After while it exploded and the lid popped up. This science experiment was inspired by a volcano eruption and who it explodes with all the pressure.

Did You Know That...

It is a new year and a new beginning, make today count!
