Nga Tohu Huarere

For the last few weeks in Te Ngahere we have been making a weather report of New Zealand in Te Reo Maori. For this weather report we had a success criteria our success criteria was that our report must have at least six places, it must include a map, it must have symbols to represent the weather, the reo must be spoken and it must include a welcome and a goodbye. When be started this first, we had to pick the places we would like to include in our report then we constructed a script using those places and once our script was marked off we could make our DLO. Our DLO could be presented how ever we preferred (eg: an animation, green screen movie etc…),I chose to make an animation. When we started this I found it really easy to write a simple script so I decided to extend it and make a more complex weather report  but when we made our animation I found that really difficult .

Do you think te reo maori should be compulsory in every school in New Zealand?

Sharing My Time At Taumarere Swimming Hole

For the first week of the  School Holidays my family and I decided to  go swimming, in Taumarere river. We go there all the time. When we got there, it was scorching hot, the sun was blazing bright we couldn’t wait to jump in. When I first got in the water it was kind of cold but once I got use to the temperature it was actually quite refreshing. Later it was time to leave, I reluctantly got out of the water, because the river was still so warm and cooling. I really enjoyed that day and can’t wait for SUMMER to hit.

Do you have any local swimming holes?
