Samoan Language Week-Aso o le vaiaso (Days of the Week)

To celebrate Samoan Language Week some of my class and LS1 worked collaboratively to learn all about the Samoan culture. Victoria,Farzana,Nickaela and I created this slideshow to show and tell you how to say the days of the week in Samoan. We also created a Screencastify so it could be easier for you to learn. For this task we all worked collaboratively to get this finished.

Samoan Language Week - Tatau (Tattoo)

  

It is Samoan Language Week to show how much we respect the Samoan culture and people we have learnt about the traditional tattoo. Victoria, Nickaela, Farzana and I have created this presentation to show you the interesting information about a traditional Samoan tattoo.

Nice Work

Never use the word PRETTY, our teacher said.

It doesn't mean a thing!

Try…attractive, pleasant, charming,

beautiful, appealing, engaging,

gorgeous, lovable, dazzling,

stunning, irresistible, delightful-

The choice is as long as a string!

But please, never use the word PRETTY,

It just doesn't mean a thing!

(She’s pretty our teacher. )

For writing my group were focusing on reading a poem called Nice Work. After reading the poem we learnt about the phrase (as long as a string). Then we picked a word to create the same but changed poem. We added the synonyms to the word that we have picked. I have done the meaning of (as long as a string) and a example of the phrase as well.

Hineahua

In Inquiry we have been learning about a Maori legend we in my group were Brooklyn,Sky and I. The legend was a about the first women to be created. We draw a lot of pictures to tell the legend our own way. After this we created a Storyboard click here to get on the website.

The Unfinished Drink ( Ted d’Auvergne)

My class has been learning about Ted d’Auvergne because he was a young soldier and ANZAC has recently just happened but he has a interesting story behind him. In my group were Sky, Brooklyn and I. We learnt a lot about him and his unfinished drink. We re read this poem so we could know all the information I learnt that this poem was a narrative poem because it made us feel sad emotions as well as happy emotions. All of our information has been recorded on this presentation.

Memorial - Family Tree

For Reading my class are focusing on a book called Memorial. We got into groups John,Affonso,Marieta and I were in a group. Mrs Kirkpatrick read us the story and we learnt about the layout,themes,text etc we recorded all this in a presentation. I learnt all about the story and how it all came together.
