Early Maori

Early Māori

On the 2nd of November Whaea Toni came into our class and she taught us about the early Māori. We learnt about the resources that they used in those days and some of them are bone , shells , harakeke (flax), raupo, toi toi, leaves, branches, leather and sticks. The resources that were used were used wisely because they couldn’t afford to waste the resources. We also learnt about the bigger things they used to survive and they are called waka’s, fire, weapons, tools and food also they gathered, fished and harvested.

In the lesson are main focus was:

What Was Technology About

-meets a need / problem

- invention by design

- practical resources/material

- innovation and adaption

-great ideas and change.

Other things we learnt was about something called a wahakura that she made for her mokopuna. We also learnt how the Māori people used to travel back and forwards. They used to walk from Wellington to Auckland on bare feet but some had sandals made of cabbage tree and used them to walk through the bushes and that made them part bush Māori.

This is a moa but unfortunately they are extinct.

What I found interesting is that their were many more uses for harakeke then just tying things and also I liked the part how she told us about the process of how to make a wahakura and that if you want to make one you will need 60 pieces of harakeke to tie and weave around the wahakura.

 This is a Māori house from the olden days and as you see they are different to are different to our in these days because they don’t have houses like us in our days.

These are Māori weapons also known as patu’s. They are used to hit enemies and to battle other people.

After she taught us about the technology of the early Māori and about the wahakura she had to leave. I think that it gave me a bit on what they actually needed to survive and that you don’t need internet to have

Technology. Overall I enjoyed it and was very interested in it because it could be very help full to me in my other learning.

Olympic Silhouette

In room 9 last term we have been making are Olympic art based on different types of sports. We used pastels,A3 paper,ripped up magazine,maths and vivid. My art has a person doing taekwondo. I used the colours light blue,dark blue and dark green because they would be complimentary for my silhouette,also other sports were discus,shooting and shot put. I think my art is good because it stands out and the colours highlight my silhouette .

SPACE PRESENTATION

                     Space Blog

I choose to make a slide about the happenings in space because it fascinates me. My presentation talks about every single detail that happens in space. Another reason why I choose the happenings in space is because there's so much to say and it has so much detail. The happenings in space is all about shooting stars,orbiting,stars,Moons and spacecrafts. My favorite part to talk about is the Earth's Moon because we live on it and when the Moon orbits around the Earth it exposes the sunlight and instead it gives shade.

Space Project Home learning

For homework I did the solar system. I did the solar system because it fascinates me. I used paint,glue,string and cardboard. My project took me all week because it is big. I like it because I put a lot of effort into it and my sister helped me. The type of paint I used was water based because you only need to add water.

Whanaungatanga Art Work

My Whanaungatanga art work represents me and my family in a different way. I like my art work because it represents me and my family also because it shows manaakitanga and I like it.
