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

I played this game called “Tables Conga” on my can dos. It’s a game where there is numbers scattered around the map.

Tables Conga can go up till the 9 times table and once you finished the times table you can go and proceed to the next times table. If you want you can switch your times tables by scrolling down and picking what kind of times table you want to do.

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.
