Color Poem

Walt: Use strong vocabulary and rhythm.

This week we had to write a poem about a color (I chose green) and to use strong vocabulary

Green like thee peachy leaves and grass that have much class. I fondle the grass and head for the swing, I throw my hands out in a shape of an wing. I get off with a fling and get on with my things. My love for green is more that anything. Then I go to the lake to get my hands a clean. Then I met a man named jean. Then he wrote a poem with old pen, It is about an gem and the characthers name is Jem. She likes cream and likes being in a team. Then there is an adolecent kid amid in a phase of puberty that loves unity, and funnily luxuriates green so we went home to eat beans

Career Slide

The past week we filled in slides that ask us about our careers and what we need and have to do to get that career. Here's mine

Polyfest 2019

Polyfest is an iconic polynesian event and is the second biggest secondary school cultural event in the world. And on the 13 of March we went there and I am here to tell you what happened.

First thing in the morning I take a shower, put my uniform and go to school. When I was walking I saw Justice and his brothers. We walk to school and we did PENN. I stayed for a while but then I remembered we had Polyfest and Justice stayed back because he had a dental appointment.

I walked in and tried to find Lepa but I couldn't see him so I sit down to listen a bit.  When people left to go to the bus I saw Lepa and slithered to him. I said hey and he said hey as well. We were in the same group so we went to the bus and sat on the front. We were talking and having fun while we were in the motorway. Then we arrived.

We jumped off the bus and we headed in a line for the entrance. After we went in we sat on the ground and waited. We saw other schools playing games and we decided to play a game as well we played 21. We played for about 5 minutes until we had to go to our activities.

We danced, learned and had fun. My favorite part was when we had an hour to buy stuff and look around. Our group Lepa, Caleb, Jaylim and I found a enormous bike track we played on the seats and headed back to our ‘base’

Polyfest was a huge experience for us and Team 5 because we asked a staff member if we could all come and she said yes so we valued that experience

My Career

For the last 2 weeks we answered an array of questions about our future career, talking to our support crew and our job interests.

Pak’ and Save, heaven for heavy eaters and a good place to work in when you’re a student. So now i’m explaining to you why Pak’ And Save is a special place in the community.

1: A Place To Get Food

Firstly, We all need food, To live, feed animals and friends. That’s why we need Pak’ and Save and without it’s massive array of food we’ll be starving! (or worse!) and it has low prices so even if you are broke you can still get a good meal for under $20-$50 dollars. And if there’s a sale that price can go down lots!

Secondly, If your a university student that doesn't have a lot of money you can work at Pak’ and Save part time. But even with a possible low pay, you can save a lot working as a trolly person, a checkout operator and a milk person. All of those can help you get money.

History of New Zealand

Events That Happened In 1830 - Toby

Missionaries-Eden



Maori political, economic, and religious leaders were ariki, Rangatira and Tohunga!



The tribes in New zealand were only maori The maori were at war with each other back then in the 1830’s and fought over each others land! Sometimes they would even kill each other in order for them to own more land.



Caleb - The people who first arrived at new zealand were polynesians back 700 years ago. The First European explorer to sight New Zealand was Dutch navigator on 13 December 1642. Then Captain James Cook, who reached New Zealand in 1769, was the first of his three voyages, to circumnavigate and map New Zealand



Missionaries - December  1814 was when the first missionaries came to New Zealand in the Bay of Islands. - Eden



Traders/Whalers - The sealers back then were the most active but by 1830, with significantly reduced seal numbers, sealing had declined to a low level. ... Raven left a gang in Dusky Sound for 10 months to hunt seals. - Toby



Settlers - The ancestors of the Māori were a Polynesian people originating from south-east Asia. Some people trace the early Polynesian settlers of New Zealand as migrating from today's China, making the long voyage traveling via Taiwan, through the South Pacific and on to Aotearoa (New Zealand). - Toby

Why did people from other places want to settle in NZ in the 1830s? King, Justice, Maanas

During the late 1830s- Europeans also known as Pakeha, came to exploit the nations natural resources like seals in the far south and whales then timber, flax and fishies.Then, they used northern harbours to refresh and come back to New Zealand. Some people also say that some fugitives also came so they can escape while some slaves also came. -Maanas/Justice/King





In Britain during the 1830s various groups, broadly called "humanitarian", which had huge effects on policy. The humanitarians were convinced that Mäori, like other indigenous peoples in Africa and the Pacific, were under grave threat of virtual annihilation from the moment that European explorers and traders touched their shores.

Maanas/Justice/King

What were the issues for Maori and Pakeha that led to a treaty being entered into?

Naomi, Paikea, Amira



Naomi- The first issue that led to a treaty being entered into was the pakeha people bringing guns to the country and they were making a lot of wars with muskets/guns. There was conflict between maori and pakeha and now between maori tribes.





Paikea - In the late 1830’s Europeans came to New Zealand to mainly exploit the country’s natural resources - First seals in the far south and whaling, then timber, flax and fisheries. It was also pretty rough at the time. There was different nationalities coming into New Zealand. Pakeha people were bringing in weapons into the country and maoris had got their hands on them.



Amira - the europeans started to trade and or buy maori’s land













When did events occur and issues arise that eventually led to a treaty being required?

Makayla, Pisi, Marika, Amelia!!



Before this whole treaty thing and conflict started growing their were many problems in

New Zealand (1830s).



Amelia ~ Land was a big problem with the Maori people. They fought with traditional weapons (hand made) to see who gets 



During the time before the treaty was made. The Maori’s were split into different tribes and some conflict grew often between families. - Pisirina



In the year 1818, Northern Maori tribes were armed with Muskets and excuted their own people



How did some Maori and the Crown perceive the Treaty to be beneficial?

Bethan, Jahzara, Zaeeda, Chastyti



Zaeeda:  A reason that encouraged the treaty was that the number of british people in the country growing rapidly. The british government were starting to get angry and more powerful because of the fact that there was no order in the country.

Before the treaty was signed there was contact between Maori and Pakeha when they were doing land dealing and before the signing of the treaty there were four major transactions of land. The







Bethan: Chiefs based their decision on whether they wanted to sign the treaty or not on what the treaty offered them.



Jahzara: Maori Chiefs wanted to base their settlement on if they were going to sign the treaty of waitangi or not. In my words they thought about ownership of their land, what would happen if they did sign this treaty and what peace would come to them and their people.





Chastyti: Out of 500 Maori Chiefs only some refused to sign the treaty on terms of the text and the explanation



This week in extension we made a doc researching the background
