Tuvalu work shop

This morning we visited a Tuvalu workshop. In this workshop we obviously learnt about Tuvalu, the things we learnt about were, How to say our body pieces in Tuvalu and some traditional  pieces of dance equipment and also how they were made. Another thing we learnt was facts about Tuvalu,FACTS, Tuvalu is made up of 9-8 islands and is also the 4th smallest country in the world.

When morning tea passed we arrived back in the hall learning a new myth and legend, it was called Sena and Tinilau, It’s basically about a girl who wanted a special oil made out of special things. Then she went to sleep and it started raining heavily, until a flower came in and started singing trying to wake her up….Then we learnt the words to the song we were dancing too it, this was very fun i hope we can do it again.

Our maori special moment

Today is our first day celebrating maori launguage week,To show our appreciation of this launguage our whole scholo will stop and sing a song form their class at 12pm. The reason we are doing this is becaue back in 1972 32,00 people signed the petition in order to keep Te Reo maori "no matter what language you speak you are allowed to celebrate it". The reason keeping your langage is important is because, if you stop speaking it then you slowly forget, then when it's time to pass it on you have forgoten. so learn your langauge and pass it on, also treasure it with all your heart.
Proof that we sang a song.

What T could do in a sad situation

T could talk with Jake and let all his emotions out, I think telling Jack would be the best thing to do because he is his best friend. Another way is maybe buying something to take his mind off it, like a game or sleep could help. T could go to a therapist or a police officer, these people could help you talk about your emotions and how to deal with them, they will also give you advice on what to do when you're in a sad situation.

I love my culture

I am maori,and i’m very proud.

I love being maori because foods like Boil up pork roast and more. But more importantly the traditions we have, Traditions like, saying a karakia, mihi and waiata. Keeping my culture is important to me because i, If u learn maori u can get a tattoo that tells a story, the curves in it tells other people were your from and your family name.

The benefits of being maori are, Loads of cousins, lots of food and best of all a beautiful family. (Every family is beautiful) Keeping your culture is important, because you can past stories down to your kids and far down generations. Haka, When you do a haka sometimes it’s to maintain dominance over each other EXAMPLE All Blacks they do a haka to try make the other team scared, and to let them know WHOS BOSS.

If your maori be proud and learn as much as you can because we need to past our language through generations.
