This week for Maori we had Whaea Odie. First she read a story called Remember That November. This story was about a school speech. The children think that Andy will win the speech contest. In Andy's speech it was about Guy Fawkes. Guy Fawkes was a man who attempted to explode the king's castle using gunpowder. In the speech contest Aroha stands up who wore a white feather on her hair. Aroha tells a story about the village Parihaka. Once we listened to the story we had to go on google maps and find Parihaka. Once we found Parihaka on google maps we had to mark it on the Sheet that we were given. Parihaka is in Taranaki.

I: to learn more about Maori
This week for Maori the first thing we did was read a story about the beginning of earths creation. It was about the earth mother and the sky father being together with no light, but the sons of earth and the sky wanted to be free so the sons separated them. Then there was a stream of light flowing everywhere. Later the sons became gods. Tu became god of man and war, Tangaroa became god of the sea, Tawhirimatea god of wind and storm, Haumia became god of cultivated food and the wild, and lastly Rongo became god of peace and agriculture. After that we watched a video explaining the story of the beginning in Sand Art.

Matariki is a Maori new year PBS will celebrate Matariki by singing song's and eating food and  performing. For Maori today we learned to sing a song and also Whia Oddie gave us a word find. A word find is like finding a word in Maori and we have to cross it out. After that we had to write a song on the back of the paper.
