Migration/Nukutawhiti

 Paragraph:The past term we have been learning about migration and Nukutawhiti migrating to New Zealand by chasing the giant Wheke (giant octopus) and how his wife Kuramarotini named New Zealand Aotearoa (The land of the long white cloud)by saying whakatauki He ao he aotea he aotea he aotearoa.Migration is sort of like moving to a different country or state.A place is a certain location referred as place or a location you stay at for an example your house is a place.Change is when something goes from one thing to another like a baby getting changed in its clothes.This topic relates to english because we read a book about a boy who migrated to a few states and countries.This topic challenged me because at the start I didn’t know what migration meant.My research project supported me because it taught me what migration meant.My overall view on the topic is I’ve finally learnt what migration means and I have some facts about migration.

Balaclava story word art

Last week I made a word art with fifty words and all of them are key words in the story I read called The Balaclava story and it's about a boy that got left out because he didn't have a balaclava.A balaclava is a ski mask that covers your forehead and mouth.The most interesting part in the story was when he found a balaclava in the toilet then stuffed it down his friends coat sleeve.

 

Own push,pull factors and intervening obstacles

 I am going to reflect on my mahi I have been doing for the past week about people who want to do stuff but they have a pull factor and intervening obstacles.It’s about different types of people who want different kinds of stuff with their push factors, something that pushes them to do what they want but there are also pull factors that put them down from doing what they want.I have learnt about push and pull factors and also intervening obstacles.This topic is also like the other work we have been doing in class like migration mahi because all the people I have written about have migrated to a country or a state.That in life there are pull factors that will try to put down from doing work and intervening courses.My overall view of this topic is: Even if you are pulled from your desire, always remember there are also push factors that will help your desire.

See ya Simon Soccer scene

 

My class and I read a book named See Ya Simon and I chose one scene to reenacted in the book it was from the first chapter where Simon caught the ball in his lap then rolled his way to the goal then scored.Simon scored even though he's in a wheelchair so that means even if something bad has happened to you don't stop doing the things you love and never ever give up 

Refugees simulator

 The game is about survival skills and that there are actually people that live like this.It made me feel frustrated because we had to swap out very valuable stuff and it also made me feel sorry for the people that have to live like this.I learnt very good survival skills and I learnt that I should never take this as a joke.Since World War II New Zealand has resettled over 35,000 refugees. The Government established a formal annual quota for the resettlement of refugees in 1987. 

Moving to another country

 I am reflecting on my mahi that I did this week.It is about migration and moving to another country.It is about how it was like in that country,any facts about it and any top rated places in the country.I have learnt a few words in Thailand language like Thank you,Your welcome and good morning and some of the best foods you can find there.Learning this topic was like learning about my tupuna and their migration.My research project supports my learning by showing my teacher all the stuff I know about the country I am researching.I know a lot about Thailand and that it is also a dangerous place if you don’t know where you are or what you are doing. 

What really happened on the treaty of Waitangi

 Kia ora ko Dayton toku ingoa.Hello My name is Dayton I am going to give you a reflection on my term 1 mahi. We learned about what really happened on the treaty of Waitangi,Who signed the treaty and who disagreed with the pakeha.Their positive things I saw in the episodes was that there was some pakeha cooperating with the maori and a lot of families happy and staying positive.A thoughtful act someone did was a maori chief  named Hone Heke because he cooperated with the pakeha and signed the treaty.How some chiefs didn’t want to agree with the treaty of the Waitangi or the pakeha,Some chiefs didn’t agree with the treaty at all and wanted the pakeha to leave.How did the war end and why did the british end up leaving?
