Te Reo Maori

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome to another blog post for today's blog post we will be talking about a Maori story that our Maori teacher told us about.

The name of this story is Poutini : A Guardian Taniwha. This story is about a man named Poutini who falls in love with a female named Waitaiki, Poutini falls in love with Waitaiki, but Waitaiki is in love with some one else so Poutini turns her into pounamu green stone.
Waitaiki's lover than cry's over losing her. 

When Mr Matthews was passing around paunamu I learnt that there where many different types of green stone I also learnt that they had different meanings.
One more thing that I learnt is some green stone is stronger than other types of green stone

I hope you enjoyed my blog post :)

Kia Ora Emma. My name is Shelby and I am a Year 7 at Hornby High School, and I will be participating in the Summer Learning Journey blogging challenge/ competition.
One of my favourite things to do at school is Art and Maths. I was really intrigued when you said there was going to be a arts & entertainment category and I hope to do it. When I am near the end of this Journey I hope to have completed all the tasks to my highest standard.

I really enjoyed doing this last year even though I wasn't able to do all of the tasks I still enjoyed it and I hope to enjoy it again this year.

Book Review ~ Playing To Win

Aloha fellow readers and welcome to another blog post for this blog post I will be reviewing the book Playing To Win by Fleur Beale.

Overall this book is really interesting and it really hooks you in I have only had this novel book for three weeks and I have already finished the story I couldn't stop because at the end of each chapter in always left a hook. I recommend this story for 12+ because there is some inappropriate language for any younger child. I give this story a 10/10 as I really enjoyed reading it and I am actually contemplating buying the book for myself.

If you enjoy reading mystery, drama, romance books than this book will be perfect for you because it has all of that. the mystery is why Alice hates rugby, the drama is between Todd Denny and Alice and the Romance is between Denny and Alice and kind of between Todd and Alice.  The strength of the book is when Denny get's friends. The weakness is when Denny feels that he doesn't fit into the friend group.

Hope you enjoyed this blog post.

Conflict ~ Playing To Win

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome to another blog post about Playing to Win, today for one of my reading tasks I have to write about the conflict between Denny and Alice in the last few chapters.

There is conflict between Denny and Alice because Alice hates rugby and Denny's playing rugby. The reason why Alice hates rugby is because the year before the story is based on Alice's brother played rugby and she supported him at every game and one day he went to a rugby party and he got drunk and then drove home drunk and crashed ad was killed.

Denny disagree's with Alice because just because her brother was at a rugby party before he died doesn't mean that rugby is to blame for his death, and he tells her that but she still disagree's.

That is the reason why Denny and Alice are having conflict in the last few chapters.

Conflict means a disagreement or argument about a certain topic.

Hope you enjoyed this blog post :)
