Upon a time 1840 feb 6th there was a treaty signed there were 9 maori treatys and 1 British treaty so all of the  9 maori treatys got sent around Aotearoa to the rangatira around Aotearoa all the maori were nervous to sign the treaty even I was nervous to sign the treaty because the maori thought that the British would take over there Aotearoa. So I went with Pomare to go sign the treaty out in Waitangi so we signed the treaty but I was about to start another war with the British because I was so scared for the kids in the future because I wanted them to do all this different kaupapa maori like kapa haka and hoe waka  all that kinda stuff but no I  didn’t start another war. So me and Pomare went back to the Karetu marae hoping that the British wouldn’t take over  

I have been learning about kapa haka because my group Nga Huia Rau O Kawakawa just performed at Regionals. I found this task easy because I performed on stage. One thing I could have done better on stage is to be front row centre.

This week I was learning what your gifts are or what your talents are. One thing that I’m good at is sports because everytime I play a sport I try my hardest. The task was to draw my talents on to the piece of paper. I found this task easy because you just had to draw a picture of what your talents are. One thing I could do better next time is try and get better at other things so I could tell you other things.

I was learning about Encanto because all the reo rua classes at Kawakawa Primary School are going to the movies in Kerikeri to watch Encanto in te reo Maori. I found this task very easy because I’ve already seen the movie Encanto and it is really cool. One thing I could do better is don’t talk while the movie is playing and also

 to keep still once it is playing. 

This week I have been learning how to use Canva and how to use a skill. The skill was to learn how to use the tool bar. The tool bar is the bar that is on the side of your poster, the tool bar is also the bar that has the text boxes and others. I found this task easy because I can think of anything and then I could put it into my work. One thing I could do better next time is maybe try to use other things in my Canva work. Another one will be put more information in.  

I have been learning about the importance of Waiti. I created a poster and an animation with Waiti facts and lots of information. I used digital stuff like google and my chromebook. I really like  working with some friends and also getting my work done. Something I didn’t like while doing this work was keeping on changing tabs. The easy part was getting the work done with friends. Now I think my next step is to pick up rubbish and not litter.

We have been learning about why we are a Manaiakalani school, and we retold the story in the right order to help us connect with why we are special. We talked about why our names are important and what Maui was like.

We recorded ourselves telling this story on a chromebook with a camera. You can see it here.

I found this task easy because we just had to record ourselves.

If I recorded another story like this to share I might make one about sports.

Did you know? I was learning how to insert a google drawing. How to insert images into my google drawing and also how to move my google drawing into my writing folder. I even learned how to make a text box  and write in my google drawing. I know how to make a custom background and I did all of this because I wanted the whole world to see All About Me!
