Day 5: The Dawn of a New Era…

From the 1840s onwards, many European settlers came to live in New Zealand. It was a difficult period in New Zealand’s history. As the settlers began to outnumber the Māori, a great war erupted between the two groups as they fought for access to land to build homes and establish communities.

Activity 1: Translating Phrases

Unlike the Māori, many of the European settlers didn’t speak Te Reo Māori. Instead, they spoke English. As you can imagine, it was very difficult for the two groups to communicate because they did not have a dictionary or a translator. These days we are able to use the Internet to translate words and phrases from one language to another.

Use Google Translate to translate the following five phrases from English to Te Reo Māori or from Te Reo Māori to English. Post the translations on your blog. Be sure to include the phrase in both the English and Māori to earn full points.

Phrases:

1. Nau mai ki Aotearoa.
2. ____ is my name.
3. What is your name?
4. He pai taku ki te takaro i te whutupaoro.
5. Where do you come from?

Nau Mai Ke Aorteroa - Welcome to New Zealand

Ko Danny toku ingoa - Danny is my name

He aha to ingoa - What is you name?

He pai taku ki te takaro i te whutupaoro - I like to play Rugby

No hea koe? - Where do you come from?

Activity 2: The Treaty of Waitangi

On 6 February 1840, a very special document was signed by the Māori chiefs and the British settlers in New Zealand. It was called the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) and it outlined how the two groups would live together and work together in New Zealand. It was the first document of its kind to be signed in the entire world. The Treaty was signed in a place called Waitangi in northern New Zealand.

Follow this Waitangi village link to read about the village of Waitangi.

On your blog, tell us three fun things that you can do as a visitor in Waitangi. Which one would you like to do the most?

Waitangi Treaty Grounds Hangi and Concert.

It would be honor to go and watch the concert because it might be a very interesting concert, also the "Hangi", looks so yummy and delightful, that I want some.

Waitangi Mountain Bike Park.

I would go to the Mountain Bike Park because it's sounds so fun. I would be able to see the stunning view I would get and it will be so exciting.

Taiamai Tour Heritage Journey.

Going on a tour in a canoe is so nice, you can experince and explore heaps of stuff at Taiamai. You can take a very long journey and it will be very interesting.

 

Bonus Activity: #EarnTheFern

After the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, New Z ealand became a British colony. Many other countries in the world are also British colonies including Canada, South Africa, Australia, India and Malaysia. As a group they were, and still are, called the ‘Commonwealth’ countries. Years ago, a man named Melville Marks Robinson was asked to organize a sporting competition for people living in the Commonwealth countries. It is called the Commonwealth Games. The first ever event took place in Hamilton, Canada in 1930.

Athletes from New Zealand have competed in the Commonwealth Games for years. In the most recent Commonwealth Games event in Glasgow, Scotland New Zealand athletes won a total of 45 medals. The next Commonwealth Games will be held in 2018 in the Gold Coast, Australia. Hundreds of athletes are competing for the chance to represent NZ at the games (to 'Earn the Fern').

One of New Zealand’s gold-medal-winning Commonwealth athletes was a man named Bill Kini. Bill won a gold medal at the 1966 Commonwealth Games for being the best heavyweight boxer. He was a man of many talents! He played rugby in Ōtāhuhu in the 1960s and later moved to Whangarei.

Imagine that you could interview Bill. What would you ask him about his time at the 1966 Commonwealth Games. What would you want to know? I’d like to know how he had time to train for two sports at once.

On your blog, write four questions that you would ask Bill Kini.

#1- How did it feel when you received a gold medal? Were you excited or were you shocked?

#2- Why did you move to Whangarei?

#3- What was a goal that you've set up for yourself?

#4- Was it difficult Boxing and playing Rugby at the same time?

Activity 1: The Waiata - A Song in Your Heart

In the past, Māori would often use song as a way of sharing information or communicating emotions.  A waiata is the name given to a traditional Māori song. One of my all-time favourite waiata is Kia Paimarie. What about you?

Use Google to research traditional Māori Waiata. Listen to a number of Waiata and read the lyrics. On your blog tell us which one of the waiata you found you like the most. Why do you like it?

I like the song "He Honore" because it's like a welcoming song to everyone that enters a maare. I like the song because people can be greeted in a well way and they can have some respect from other people that's singing the way.

Activity 2: Playing Games

Hundreds of years ago, young Māori children were taught to play a number of games, including Poi Rakau, Ki O Rahi, Koruru Taonga and Poi Toa. Read about each of these four games on the Rangatahi tu Rangatira website. Have you played any of them before? Isn’t it cool how the games have been passed down for generations?

Choose one game, and on your blog, tell us the (i) name of the game, (ii) the goal or purpose of the game, and (iii) two rules.

You could try playing some of the games with a friend.

Ki O Rahi

The goals of the game is their is different circle that is named and what ever you are such as a Koima you have to touch the Pou with the Ki.

The rules are for the ripper version is that if you get ripped you will have 3-5 seconds to pass the ball.

Bonus Activity: Musical Festivals – Matatini

In New Zealand, a huge festival is held every two years, called Te Matatini. This performing arts festival celebrates the tikanga (culture or customs) of Māori. Kapa Haka groups from around New Zealand are invited to attend the festival and each group gives a 25-minute performance. The performances are judged and the best teams win prizes.

The gold medal winning team from this year (2017) was Te Kapa Haka o Whāngārā Mai Tawhiti.

Watch these three clips from previous Te Matatini festivals.

Tamatea Arikinui

Te Iti Kahurangi

Te Puku o Te Ika

On your blog, rank the performances from your favourite (#1) to least favourite (#3) and tell us why you gave them the ranking that you did.

#1 Te Iti Kahurangi- I put this in first because they have a beautiful voice and the way that the lady is showing her talent to every one.

#2 Tamatea Arikinui- The Tamatea is so unique because the way the dance and the way their outfit swing around.

#3 Te Puku o Te Ika- I put this in third because it's to depressing and it's just to sad for me.

🤔First reading log for the holiday.👨‍💻💞

I haven't blog my reading log because I was busy through out the holiday but today I think I should let you guys read a little bit of the reading that I've read. So this is my first reading log for last term holiday. Enjoy

😘Holiday recount😘

During my holiday it has been a busy 2 weeks holiday for me. On the first day of the school holiday we just relax because my uncle, cousins and his partner they were going to the Gold Coast in Australia. On the next day it was 3am in the morning. We went to the airport, we had a little breakfast before my uncle was going to Australia.

On the 1st week of the holiday it was much busy because we had my grandpa birthday on Saturday. We went out to valentine over the shore for my Grandpa Birthday. We had heaps of feed before heading off back home. The next week was a bit busy but it was much fun, “Why”, Because my uncle was coming back from Australia but the sad thing was my cousins couldn’t come back cause my uncle was going for work a bit early during the holiday.

My uncle was sleeping over at my house the next day but I wanted to go with him but he was going to work. On Saturday I went out to extreme with my family before going back to school. We went to the night market after the extreme entertainment. After all my exciting time with my family it was coming to an end for my holiday.

Where in the world?? Slide 3!🤔🤔

This is my slide 3 homework for the holiday. I've been researching the landmark of the country that I don't know so I can fine these landmark in the information with a picture with it, so I just type down the information I remember from research I've done and then I'm finish.

Day 3 - Buying a ticket

Now that you have chosen your country it is time to start planning your trip. One of the first things you will need to do is to buy an airplane ticket. There are many, many airlines that fly around the world. Some of the most common are:

Air Canada Air New Zealand

                               

Emirates             Air Asia

                

When you get onto the airplane you will be asked to watch a short safety video that tells you how to stay safe when flying in a plane. Arguably, the best airplane safety videos are produced by Air New Zealand.

Activity 1

Watch both of the current Air New Zealand safety videos. The first is a video that stars the All Blacks. The second is a video that stars Rhys Darby and Anna Faris (Hollywood actress).  Links for the videos are found below:

Air New Zealand ‘Men In Black’ video

Air New Zealand ‘Safety in Hollywood’ video

Once you have finished watching the videos, go to your blog and list three things that you need to do to stay safe on an airplane.

1. Loose items that you’ve bought on board should be secured and safely
2. Make sure to buckle yourself in seat belt before flight take off
3. No smoking on board because passengers near you with bad health will inhale smoke.

Activity 2

Imagine that you have been asked to create your very own airline. What would you call it? Design a simple logo for your airline and post it on your blog. You must include a short explanation of your logo below the picture.

I named my airline Wes Virgin airline because it make sense and I love the name Wes Virgin, Wes Virgin is in USA so I just chosen a random name. I found a ship and a plane on images in it just look beautiful upon my eyes.
