In the 1800s, most Maori lived in a village called "Pa." Each village had many buildings where people cooked pataka. (Pataka means where you store food like: fish and birds. There is also a place where trapdoors are placed in the floor so nothing comes and eats it, like Pacific rats.)
The wharepuni doesn't match my home because my home is not a sleeping house or a principal house of a village.

Waka Ama
Today I read a story about Waka Ama. I read this story as an activity for The Summer Learning Journey. Until today people use waka still! Well something amazing did happen and that includes wakas. It is a sport race called Waka Ama. Waka Ama is where you have a waka and you are in a team of two. You have to try to make it to the end of the race.
Setting Sail
Today I read about a story called Setting Sail. I read the story as an activity for the Summer Learning Journey. I read the story of the first people to come to New Zealand. They were really brave people and were the first people to come to New Zealand. They were brave because they left their original homes and traveled to New Zealand.
If I would leave my home and travel to a different country I would be very nervous and scared. I might lose my way and never make it back home.

Maui and The Giant Fish
Today I read about Maui and the giant fish he caught. I read this story as an activity for the Summer Learning Journey. The story was about Maui wanting to go fishing with his older brothers but the brother would always come up with an excuse for Maui not going fishing with them. Maui soon got angry and had a plan to go fishing with his brothers. He put himself in a hull that the brothers use for fishing. The next time when the brothers went out to fish they got the hull and wondered why it was so heavy. When they took it to the sea they never caught a single fish! Soon Maui jumped out with surprise. The brothers were startled and they were angry about Maui. Maui spoke up and said "I have come to fish as my ancestor Murirangawhenua said I will be a great fishermen. Let your lines loose and you will catch more fish than before. The brothers went on and let their lines loose and caught much more fish than they ever have. Once their waka was full Maui went on and said "My turn to fish now!" The brothers laughed and laughed as Maui pulled out his fishing line. "Ha, your using that?" The brother laughed and laughed. Maui asked "Can I get some bait?" The brothers laughed and didn't answer. Maui got angry and punched his nose. His nose bled and he used that as bait. He threw his fishing line then something immediately caught on their hook. It was really heavy and the brothers huddled up together in fright. Maui pulled out his fishing line and... There it was! The giant fish his grandma told him about. His grandma would know that Maui will one day catch this big fish. The fish now has been known as Maui and The Giant Fish.
Fun Fact: The Giant fish now had is the island for the north of New Zealand.
Fun Fact: Maui's brothers were bullies to him and they didn't really like him.
Fun Fact: Maui was not really an adult but was allowed to fish

Prototec
LI: To develop instant recall of addition facts.
Today for my maths I played a game called prototec. Prototec is a math game where you pick a stage and solve math questions on there. The higher you go the harder it gets. Once you have finished all the questions you go to the bottom and then press mark, when you marked it, it will make sure you got your questions correct. If you didn't get all the questions questions correct then it will cross out your answer and put the right answer on. The stages I did was stage 5, 4, and 3-2. In stage five it was hard. The questions that was challenging for me in stage five was the the division questions. In stage four I got confused with grouping within 10&20. In stage 2-3 it was pretty easy and nothing was hard and confusing. Year 4's was allowed to do any stage, year 5's had to do stage 4 or higher, year 6's had to do stage 5 or higher.
I learned by going and searching up prototec and then choosing a stage. I chose stage 5 then 4 and then 2-3.

The runners have hoops to stay in, but only for five seconds. While the tagger has a ball and has to pass it to their other teammates, whichever runner is close by the tagger yells out "Here!!" We then played a different game which was "Hit Down The Cone." We had to get into a circle and sit down while there was a person in the middle standing up with a cone on the ground. The person in the middle has to defend the cone while everyone else try's to knock it down. The people trying to knock down the cone can either pass it or hit by themselves. The people trying to hit it can also n sit down and roll it, not standing up on their knees. The next game was like "Tower Doge Ball" but this time we had to knock down each others towers. We had to make towers with our tam and have a bucket on top of them. We went outside and built it. Then we started the game. Only five players were allowed to play and the rest watched, when the round was over the nest people joined in and it went on and on until the morning tea bell rang. For the last game our team won
3-0.

Fire Station Visit
LI: To learn more about fire fighters.
Today we went to the fire station. We had to make sure hat we had a sunhat, go to the toilet, then have a drink of water. The walk was fifteen minuets long, also there was high place like hills we had to get over which was a lot of work for our legs along with having to walk for fifteen minuets. When we finally arrived at the fire station we sat down on the concrete. As we sat down we saw three fire fighters standing in a line. The first one (Which was the leader of the rest of the fire fighters) greeted us and talked to us of what they do and other things they also did time to time. Then soon the fourth fire men came in. The leader said that it's just the four of them in a crew together.
We soon asked them some questions about how long they have been doing the job and if they have a helicopter. Later on we were able to go outside, when we did we saw the fire truck there. We sat down while one of the fire fighters was dressing up to show us what you need to dress up in the costume and what to put on. First he put on heavy looking boots. The boots also came with the pants. Then he out on his jacket. Soon he put on his tank so he can breathe while saving people. Then he put on a hood, the hood is called a "Flash Hood." Then his helmet.
After that they talked to us about the fire truck and all of the things that is inside it. We also went to the other side of the truck to see how the other equipment. After they talked to us about the truck we got to see four people use the fire hose. It was just like target practice too. Our targets was the broken cars and the tree. Then our teacher got a try. He aimed it high almost hitting the top of the tower. Then we saw the fire hose that was on top of the truck. The hose was able to go really high and it hit the top of the tower. Then the fire station visit finally came to an end.
I learned by listening and making sure I understand things about fire fighters. The whole fire station visit was about an hour long.

The leader said that it's just the four of them in a crew together.
We soon asked them some questions about how long they have been doing the job and if they have a helicopter. Later on we were able to go outside, when we did we saw the fire truck there. We sat down while one of the fire fighters was dressing up to show us what you need to dress up in the costume and what to put on. First he put on heavy looking boots. The boots also came with the pants. Then he out on his jacket. Soon he put on his tank so he can breathe while saving people. Then he put on a hood, the hood is called a "Flash Hood." Then his helmet.
After that they talked to us about the fire truck and all of the things that is inside it. We also went to the other side of the truck to see how the other equipment. After they talked to us about the truck we got to see four people use the fire hose. It was just like target practice too. Our targets was the broken cars and the tree. Then our teacher got a try. He aimed it high almost hitting the top of the tower. Then we saw the fire hose that was on top of the truck. The hose was able to go really high and it hit the top of the tower. Then the fire station visit finally came to an end.
I learned by listening and making sure I understand things about fire fighters. The whole fire station visit was about an hour long.

NZ Police Visit
LI: To learned more about police people.
Today the NZ Police came and visited our school. They first were encountered by us by seeing their helicopter landing down towards us. While they were land a whole bunch of grass came flying and hitting us. They told us everything about the helicopter and the engines, but their helicopter had a camera to see people from the sky to the ground. When they finished telling us all about the helicopter we got to see a police dog who's name was Kaho, his handler was Grant. He was a very well trained police dog but he still had more steps of courses to go. They showed us and told us everything about police dogs and how he played with his toy. After that they showed us Kaho chasing a bad guy that was a police man but pretended to be a criminal.
I learned by watching and making sure I understood and learned all about the helicopter and the dogs.
