School Photographs

Dear, Photographer

I am writing to you to express my opinion about the way you take and arrange the the class photographs.

Clearly the photos are very organised because the height  arrangement is good.

It is clear that the backdrop is very nice because it is not to flashy

I agree that putting the absent people in the names is a really good idea because when you look back at it you can see the people who have been absent.

I admire the red curtain at the back because you can see it clearly and its not camouflaged.

I'm absolutely certain that you should read my ideas mostcarfully. You may or may not agree with my opinions,but please do consider them. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Your sincerely, Arhan

                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                     

A Letter from Gallipoli

  A Letter from Gallipoli 27/April/1918

Dear,dad

Here in gallipoli it’s very humid and it stinks! Out here on the other side of the world it’s terrible, we have to dig trenches about 3 feet. In gallipoli there’s loud noises BOOM that’s how loud the gunshots are, you’ll get used to it. Thousands of people are getting killed and wounded, there’s a lot of shocks and it feels uncomfortable. We all worry about our health, the food looks like it’s stale and it tasted horrible. The shrapnel scattered everywhere it nearly got me but I was lucky,it missed. I had to carry water all the way up the hill, it was tiring. I loved the ANZAC biscuits you sent to we but there so hard to eat I made it into porridge. We have to have a lot of ammunition. Our enemies are having dysentery, there getting weaker. The fight is ended, I enjoy eating the porridge.  

Lots of Love, Arhan   

Haka poetry

This is how you create a Hangi (Earth oven)

Maui and the Eagle

Maui was hunting for a koru to boil for breakfast, he moved through the thick, fleshy leaves. He was searching through totara trees as tall as elephants, the sun was scorching as the breeze exhaled camly. The insects and the bugs marched in a rhythmic beat but there were no birds chirping, no birds flying in the peaceful sky at all. Only a mighty eagle, “I need to catch that eagle” Maui exclaimed. Maui spotted the eagle with his sharp eyes, Maui might have been  short but he was wise, he knew that the eagle was very threatening and ferocious. The eagle also had very sharp eyes.

The eagle swooped down and tried to bite Maui’s finger off “You won’t bite me, silly eagle” Maui murmured. The mighty eagle tried again this time the eagle didn’t miss, he managed to bite Maui’s finger off “hahaha I can’t believe it I’ve bit Maui’s finger off” The eagle burst into laughter. Maui was tremendously mad “I’ll get that eagle” he said.

“I know what I can do to capture that eagle” thought Maui. Maui walked without distraction to the top of a mountain. Maui drew his fish hook from his belt and threw it like a spear towards the eagle. The hook hit the eagle hard causing it to quak in agony “quak quak quak arghhh”. The great eagle fell to the ground. Maui took his tewhatewha and cut the eagle into three segments…

Maui sang a karakia and one by one the segments shot off into different directions. The head of the eagle became the kereru that flew into the branches of the kauri trees. The middle section became the ground birds kiwi, weka and pukeko and the eagles tail became the prey of birds, the insects. That is the story of how birds came to New Zealand.      

Maori Weapon

Waka

Waka 

‘Kamate, Kamate’ thunders around the waka. The glistening water under my oar falls like a raindrop from a leaf. It is night and the patterns on the waka look fearsome, the warriors have an amazingly tight grip on the oars. My veins course with adrenaline. 

 As we continue to row I watch anxiously the horizon, at the stern of the boat we are doing some startling pukana’s with bulging eyes and protruding tongues. My fellow warrior’s arms are as big as the trunks of a kauri tree and are decorated with tattoos that represent our ancestry. The oars submerge one last time as we reach our destination of war...

The Wharenui

After reading ' not just a house ' we created a labelled drawing of a Wharenui

How to Hongi

The Hongi 

What is a hongi? 

A hongi is the pressing of noses, which symbolises the exchange of the breath of life 

 When does the hongi happen? 

 When the tangata whenua side indicates that the speeches are complete, the manuhiri speakers approach the tangata whenua to hongi 

What to do. 

 1. First look into the tangata whenua eyes and shake their right hand with your right hand firmly and say “kia Ora”. 
 2. Next Place your left hand on their right shoulder sensibly (not like your squeezing a plushie). 
 3. Gently press noses, take off your left arm and your done. 

These instructions will help you learn the Hongi. If you laugh or giggle this means you're disrespecting the Maori culture and if you’re greeting a Maori person this is very important to do correctly

Rangi - the Sky Father

We described a character from the story of Papa and Rangi

Rangi

When Rangi was ripped away from his beloved Papa by Tane - Mahuta, Rangi’s tears fell on Papa the earth mother as rain. Rangi was lonely but Uru’s children the stunning stars gave their grandfather Rangi some company, he was dressed with a silky red cloak, a scorching sun behind and a silver pearl moon in front. Tane left the basket where he kept the stars and that was called the milky way (Mangoroa).
