Family tree

For a Te Reo challenge LS2 did a family tree. My family tree has my cultures as the backround so people know who I am and how my family is Tokelauan and Samoan. My mum has a lot of sisters and I keep on forgeting their names so I wrote the aunties I could remember. The thing I liked about this challenge is that I got to learn more about my family.

In Maori we had to find all the spots of whaitaitai and the others that are around whaitaita then we had to weave a fish out of paper then my one turned out fine and it ended up like the photo that im holding it in.

Maori Matariki

Today in Maori we talked about the Matariki celebration that is going to be on the last Wednesday of school. On that day we are going to have a big celebration with a sausage sizzle. singing and  dancing.  After the talk we had to do a word find and write the Matariki song.  I was the fourteenth person to finish all my work.
