Summer learning journey

Today the 12/12/19 we had to do the summer learning journey this is one of the activities.

Animals

In our class on the 26th of November 2019, we all had to make animals on google drawing I made a Poodle it was fun. First I put a box and then some clouds and a background it was cool to make it because you don't know how it will turn out but the best thing I like about           By Lola                                            my poodle is the face.

Sport

On Friday the 15th of November 2019, my class and room 3 played a sport called, capture the flag. 

We had teams and we were trying to protect the ball from the other team,  while other people were trying to steal the other team's ball.  Some people were going to try to steal the other people's ball while the rest of the team was trying to tag the other team that came in trying to steal the ball. In the end room, 3 won.  

Dry land water safety

On the 14th of November 2019, we had dry land water safety. So this man came in and taught us about water safety, he taught us how to notice rips and the most important things to bring to water holes and beaches. 

Rips
The man taught us how to notice rips. If you see a clear spot there's a rip there and also if the waves are crossing there is a rip there.


The most important things to bring
For the beach, you need an adult, sunscreen, water.
And on a boat, you need a life jacket, adult, radio and phone. 

In love.

Walt: To make a google drawing
They are in deep love just when they saw each other what will happen next

Kauri dieback

Kauri Dieback

Kauri dieback can kill kauri of all ages. It's a disease caused by a
microscopic fungus-like organism, called (PA). It lives in the soil
and infects kauri roots, damaging the tissues that carry nutrients
and water within the tree, effectively starving it to death. There is
no cure for kauri dieback disease, and the disease kills most if not
all the kauri it infects.  Kauri dieback (PTA) are found in the soil
around affected kauri. Any movement of infected soil can spread
the disease. Human activity involving soil movement (on footwear,
machinery or equipment) is thought to be the greatest cause of
spread.

Reflection - I like how we had to discover what kauri dieback is.

Retelling of Ahipara

Retelling of Ahipara

Once there were two tribes they were Te Aopouri and Te Rarawa and they were always fighting about who owned 90-mile beach. But one day the chief Poroa made a big line across the beach Te Aupouri were on the north and Te Rarawa were on the south. Because of that Poroa got given a wife and her name was Whangatauatia. One day when he returned to his own pa he renamed it Whangatauatia in honour of his wife. Luckily the two tribes regained peace for many years but eventually, Poroa died. And his great mana, a tapu was put on the beach for a year. During the time a Rahui, a ban was put on all birds fish and shellfish. When the Tapu was lifted a great feast was held and was customary in those days. The first fish and shellfish caught were cooked. Over a special fire and prayers were said and the food was placed in a certain place as an offering and that’s how Ahipara got its name,

Ahi - Meaning fire

Para para - The roasted fish that was put aside as an othering. By Lola

Reflection - I liked how we had to retell the story of how Ahipara got it’s name.
