Haiku
Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post in this blog post I am going to be writing a haiku poem. A haiku poem is a traditional Japanese poem which use to have to be about nature but know it has a variety of topics it can be about.
Here is my haiku poem.....
The water shined gracefully
It looked like it was dancing
It then disappeared.
I hope you enjoyed and liked reading my poem.

Badge Of Honour
Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post today's blog post is going to be about the story I have read called "Badge Of Honour". For this task we were asked to answer questions based off of the story we had read.
Describe Isaac's personality.
Isaac is really down to earth and doesn't like lying to people but at the same time he is trying to make sure his friends don't get into trouble, to the point where he might lie to people to protect his friends.
Who are the school captains and how do they feel about the role ?
The female school captains are Fai Tuima and Jess Hutton where as the male school captains are Tomasi Tesi and Isaac Lauofo. I am guessing that they feel very proud of themselves for achieving such things and they are feeling excited for what is to come, at least some of them feel that way other's feel that they are going to be given to many tasks and that they will constantly be buried in responsibilities.
What impression does the author want to give off of Tomasi ?
The author was trying to make Tomasi seem like a bad kid who get's in trouble and also trys to drag his friend/s down with him to support my idea at the end of the story Tomasi asks Isaac to lie for him to get himself out of trouble.
How does Fai feel about Tomasi ?
She doesn't like him because as I said in the last questions answer hes a bad guy and Fai is very good and tries to always do the right thing in the text she basically said that she didn't care about Tomasi when she said something along the lines of "The teacher needs to know I don't care about his consequence".
What impression does the author want to give off Fai ?
The author wants to give off the impression that Fai is a good girl that she never does anything bad and shes very responsible with what she does.
What advice would you give Isaac ? Why ?
I would tell him that he should follow his gut no matter what the teachers want to hear do what is right, and do it because you feel you need to.

Samoa
Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's task we were asked to answer questions that were given to us and also make a poster of all the Samoan we know.
Here is my poster....
Why do you think it is important to learn about other cultures in New Zealand ?
I think it is important to learn about other cultures because it shows respect to the people that are from that culture.
Is there something we could do differently to learn more or celebrate other cultures ? give examples.
No, I think we learn about each culture a fair amount and I don't think we need to learn anymore about them that we already do.
Keeping our stories alive
Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's task we were asked to read a story and write a paragraph about what the story was about.
The story keeping our stories alive is about a young female who loves art but also loves her culture so she started putting two and two together and started drawing Samoan designs then her family encouraged her to start tattooing, she then used her father as her guinea pig and she would start practicing on him. When she got clients she would get them to talk about their past and about what they want there tattoo to represent, she then translates their story and culture into a tattoo.
Have you ever read this story ?

Samoan Umu
Hello fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post today's blog post. For today's task we watched a video on how to create an umu and then we were given questions to answer on a blog post this is that blog post.
What is an Umu? What does it need, what is it for ?
An umu is a traditional Samoan meal that is cooked without oven and cooked without electricity. A Umu can be cooked for a funeral, graduation, wedding or any other celebration. An Umu needs fire and wood.
How are traditional Samoan skills taught ?
The guy in the video said that parents use a saying and then over time you just develop the skills he said around the age of 16 you develop the skills.
Is there something you've experienced similar to an umu? What was it? Where did you experience it ?
No, I have not experienced anything like it but I would like to.
What typed of things are cooked in an umu?
Some of the things that can be cooked in an umu are taro, banana's, fish and there are probably some more things that you are able to cook.
I hope you learnt something from this blog post.

The Creation Of Tuna
Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post today's blog post is going to be about the story we read in class called The Creation Of Tuna. For this task we were asked to answer questions based on what the story was about. We also watched a video on the story.
What problem did Tuna o Runga I te Raki have ?
The place he lived in was very dry because the sun was close to it.
What does tipua mean ?
Tipua means supernatural.
What is a hinaki ?
A hinaki is a eel catcher.
What type of animal is a tuna ?
Tuna is an eel.
Compare the art from the book and art from the video clip. What are some differences ?
The art from the video is more detailed and is in black and white where as the art from the book is colourful and less detailed. Also the drawing in the video was more realistic.
Which art style did you prefer and why ? Give details in your answer.
I preferred the video because the detailing was a lot better than the detailing in the book. I also preferred that the video was in black in white it made you focus on the detailing more.
I hope you learnt something from this blog post.
