Summer Learning Journey Week One Day 4

Activity 1: The Waiata - A Song in Your Heart

I like this waiata because we sing it in Kapahaka and we sing it at my marae. It makes me think about my grandparents, aunties, uncles and great grandparents. It reminds me of my Papa Tass and Aunty Yvonne.

Bonus Activity: Musical Festivals – Matatini

My cousin Deyne performed in Matatini this year. She performed for Te Whanau-a-Apanui. They got into the finals. Here is a picture of her and her boyfriend in their kapahaka uniform.
I love listening to her sing and she is really good at doing the pukana.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Task 1 / Bonus Task

Today I read a short story about a famous man in Māori mythology – Maui.
Here is three facts that Ilearned about this interesting man.

Maui was sneaky because he snuck onto the waka.
Maui is a great fisherman.
He never stopped trying.

Other stories I have heard with Maui in it: 
Maui and the Sun - Maui pushed the sun up into the sky.
How Maui slowed the sun

Maui is on the movie Moana.


BONUS TASK - Waka Ama

I wouldn't like to do Waka Ama because it looks hard.
My dad did Waka Ama when he was young and competed for New Zealand in Fiji.

My progress 2017

Here is the progress I have made this year. I think I have made the most progress in spelling.

no girls allowed

During the ancient Olympic Games, men were allowed to compete in the events but women were not. In fact, women were often forbidden from even watching the games. In your opinion, is this a fair rule? Why or why not? On your blog please tell us what you think about this interesting rule.


I think this is not a fair rule. Women should be allowed in the Olympics.
It is mean because girl's wont be allowed to watch the games in the Olympics. Anyone should be able to watch the games and cheer for their country.
Women are just as good as men. Everyone can play sports.
