Matariki flag

It's Maori new year! 

So we did a flag of all the things we want to change this year (like a new years resolution). We had to do different sides with different pictures.

Some things I want to change this year:

Rollerblade better

Be a better big sister

Maths

Looking after my Budgie

Piano

Read more

Karate

Eat more fruit 

Be happy

And on the other side of my flag...

Learn how to hold a chicken

Do more art

Swim more

Spend more time with Family 

Spend more time with Friends 

Listen to the Teachers

Learning muscles I need to focus on...

Noticing 

Managing distractions

Making Links 

Imagining

Marae art

On Monday we did some Marae art. We had to get the template and then draw some Maori designs on them and then we colour them in. Then we cut them out and then we stick them to the paper, then we get seven pieces of tinfoil and then we fold them in half and then we cut them out in a shape of half a star and then you cut it out and then you stick it to the piece of paper and then you have your Marae.

Here are some photos of my art:

Maori hand games

We did some Maori hand games at school and we understood what people did with no technology, they played hand games and some other col games. We learnt 7 games and I am going to do some videos on what to do. The 7 games were: paki, koruru (knuckle-bones), whai (string), waka/kahu (string games), hei tama tu tama, and hi pitoi toi e. 

Here is a video of me doing the whai:
