What are the similarities and the non similarities to my own home and a Wharepuni

SIMILARITIES:

• A Wharepuni is place where families sleep - My home is where my family and I sleep
• A Wharepuni house was made by hand by the Maori people - My home was also made by hand by my family members. 

NON SIMILARITIES

• A Wharepuni roof and walls were made of timber, fern, rushes and bark 
• A Wharepuni is just where the people sleep - My home is where I store food, Sleep, and more. 

You guys may be wondering wait in NZ people have jobs to built houses, I was actually comparing a Wharepuni with my house in Tonga. Tonga is similar to what the Maori people did back in the days, so I thought it was a good idea to do my home land in Tonga and compare it to the Wharepuni.

Hope you enjoy.

Bonus Activity Day 1

After watching this amazing video (Waka Ama) I thought

YES / NO

Why? Well Waka Ama includes a lot of fitness and a lot of strength and I believe that I am able to do it because anything is possible with just a lot of effort, however it looks pretty cool as well. Waka Ama is an amazing sporting event and I wish some day I can learn how to do it from a excellent pro so someday I can represent my country for the Waka Ama.    

Someday.

Summer Learning Journey Day 1 Activity 2

Hello fellow travelers,

Just letting you know that my voyage to New Zealand is going absolutely amazing and satisfying. I've got more and more excited as I go pass many interesting sea creatures on my journey. It is very scary and really hard moving to New Zealand, however I know I will fit in just fine. I will let you know more very soon.

Yours truly Sarah

3 facts about Maui

1. Maui used a jawbone that his ancestors has given him, which however he used to pull up the North island
2. Maui had magical powers and was certainly better than his foster brothers.
3. Maui was also surprisingly trickster

I haven't really been that fascinated about Maui but after reading this story about maui and his brothers it created a whole new world for me to learn more about him, however the only story I really heard about him was Maui and the Sun, and just now I learned a new story about Maui and his brothers trying to slow down the sun to make the days much more longer.

Prototec 2017 Term 4

Today for maths I did a prototec on stage 7. I found this very hard but I am happy with the score I got, hopefully the next time I do a prototec I will be able to get 100%. I think I haven't achieved that much, because since the holidays are coming up my brain is already switched off. Hopefully when I come back to school my mind will switch on and I will achieve many.

Collaborative Problem solving

Today in the first session of school my group and I did a DLO based on how to solve fraction problems using multiplication and Division. We found this quite easy because we learned these strategies a lot. We hope you learnt something from our DLO. I hope you enjoy it.
