Te Wiki o te Reo Maori

Last week was Te Wiki o te Reo Maori. We used Book Creator to make books to help people that don't know Maori. I chose to do Maori colours. We also used audio in case they didn't know how to pronounce it. At the start I didn't really know what I was doing because we have never used Book Creator before. At the end I knew what I was doing.

Maara Kai

We had a Maara Kai competition which was like MasterChef and everyone in my class was doing it. Willie, Shone, Sam and Ezra were in my group. We made spaghetti bolognese and meatballs with a mint water drink. I chopped up flat leaf parsley and squished all the meatball mixture together. We used kawakawa leaves because they taste like pepper. The food was delicious. There were two judges who tasted our food. and like it then they tested the others and after at we won bye explaining our dish and the taste. 

Speeches 2020

We have been doing persuasive writing for our speeches. We will say these in front of the class next week. It was easy to write because I didn't make many mistakes. It was tricky putting the Screencastify on my blog because I couldn't remember how to do it. Miss Mikayla, Catalina and Mrs Naden helped me with it.

I strongly believe being able 
to control plants is the best 
superpower because you can 
grow food quickly, you can make 
the vines come out of the ground 
and you could make trees grow quickly.
If you can control plants you can 
grow them quickly. This would solve 
hunger and starvation. You could 
also sell the fruits and earn some money.
If you could control plants you can 
make the vines come out of the ground 
you can slow down bad guys. 
It would also be great to climb up the 
plants and play. 
If you could control plants then you 
can make a big tree to climb up and 
make a treehouse. It would be fun 
to play in.
So hopefully I've convinced you that 
being able to control plants is the best 
super power. How would you feel if you 
were playing in that tree?

Here is my pepeha in Fijian. I will say this at the start of my speech. I didn't record my face because I was too shy.
