Maori Pa

This is the Maori Pa my mum, brother and I made for our school gtsfamilycreate competition. We decided to make a Maori Pa because it was Maori language week and to represent our culture.  

We made our Pa using a flat surface cardboard as the base, home made play-dough for the water and land, tooth picks, branches and twigs, glue and twine to put the buildings and barrier together. Maoris built their Pas on high land, and built fences around their homes with sharp ends to keep their enemies out, or to make it harder for them to enter.  You can also see our tooth pick Wakas (canoes) on how Maori travelled on water. We made the Maori Tino Rangatiratanga flag by just using paper and black and red felts.

POEM/SIMLLIES

 I’m so hungry my stomach feels like                              it's going oblitarate. It feels like an earthquake inside my stomach.

“Dinners ready, '' said mum. Everything around me looks like something I could eat like meat.

In the kitchen my mum is making pork chop. It looks like something that is worth a lot of money. The best part smells like the gods recipe.

Finally! the time has come.  We say Karakia and it's time to dig into the wonderful and fine meal

Hmmm…  just like I remember the taste of the creamy thickness of the pork chop in my mouth.

 

Space Jam 2 My Amazing Holiday

                         My fabulous holiday

On Tuesday my family and I watched Space Jam 2. It was quite amazing. There were extraordinary things beyond what I would've imagined. The little details really stand out. 

Firstly the computer room and a device were cartoon channels or any other channels were to be created. Inside the monitors there would be a man that has not been recognized in a very long time. And he tried to stop his popularity going down so he tried to make a contract with Lebron James. Saying he could be in a cartoon. But King James did like that idea.
