Week 1 Day 3 (The more, the Merrier?)

The more, the Merrier?

For this post I have to explain why I would like to be in a big family.

Here's why I would. (Well I have a big family I have 6 siblings)
 

I would love to be a memeber of a big family because when ever something happens they'll be there because family always have your back. They're your best friend, the one you can trust.

Another reason why I would love to have a big family is whenever you are upset or angry they will always be there to cheer you, maybe a joke or they make you something nice.
 
That's why I would love to have a big family.

Day 2 Week 1 Activity 1 (wharepuni)

Wharepuni vs. My house

For this post we had to look at a Wharepuni and compare

2 simularities and 2 diffrences between the 2 so here is my post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The diffrences between a Wharepuni and my house is that at the front there is no door like my house. In the front there's a post to keep it standing and a pole through the middle and at the back to keep the roof standing.

The simularities are

that the have a window at the front like most houses do to bring light to the maori can see.

They also have a fence to keep other people and animal coming in and taking there food resources.

Week 1 Waka Ama (Bonus Activity)

Waka Ama Race 

For this bonus activity we have to explain why or why we want to be in a waka am race here is what I think! 

I don't think I would be good in Waka Ama race because you need to have fast reflexes to change from side to side during the race and you have to be strong to help push the Waka forward with the team.   

You have to have enough power and energy to go the length and keep going through out the race and keep pushing yourself even when your tired! 

Week 1 Post Letter on the Waka (Activity 2)

Letter on the Waka 

For this activity I have to write a letter

2.That Maui use a jaw bone to use a hook 
to hook the fish on to the Waka!

North Island!

Hanmer Springs Camp 2017 Reflection

Hanmer Camp 

Last Week my class and I went to Hanmer Camp, I had so much fun. We did some many exciting activities my favourite  one was the Tree Climbing and Mission Impossible and we also went to the Lolly Shop called The Lolly Pot. This is by far my favourite camp. 

Tree Climbing 

This was my favourite activity because I went first climbing up. The instructor said to follow the rope sometimes I had to go over branches and under. But when I got to the middle of the tree I couldn't go and higher so I came down. Then we swapped sides with the boys that side was way easier. With my go I nearly got to the top! After that we did the Crate Challenge were we get some milk crates and someone has a harness and the get pulled up and we have to make a tower with the milk crates and we have a few minutes to make it as high as we can before time runs out.   

The Pools

We also went to the pools my favourite well maybe everyone's was the Super Bowl and the Lazy River. I also had fun on the hydro slides mainly the green one because it's fast and dark Hanmer has the best pools! Have you been there? 

This by far the best camp I have been on!
