Country Search: Maori (Part 2)
Country Search: Maori (Part 2)
Do I wish too be Maori: Well I’m already Maori on my dad’s side he’s Niuen and Maori so that makes me Maori also.
What is Maori too Me: Maori is a culture that’s apart of New Zealand but under the control of England property. Because the European/England came to New Zealand to take the land before any other people from other countries came rolling in.
What’s the Population of New Zealand: the number has climbed up to 4,822,233 people and it’s a really big number plus I never thought that would happen to New Zealands amount of people.
What my Maori group and I did for Maori Language Week: We did a dance, song & have a other person to introduce themself and tell us about themself also in Maori.
What does the word “Maori” mean too me: This word “Maori”. What it means to me it means Helpful, Brave & Kind.
Facts about New Zealand: Did you know? That New Zealand is the same size as Japan but Japans size is a upside down verison of New Zealand also. Our country is the only country to give women the vote in 1893 and The first country to really see the sunrise before any other country saw before New Zealand.
R.E - Choice For Peace
Choice For Peace
Today in R.E. I learned in class about Guy Fawkes Day and Parihaka. Once there was a man named Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night this man is known of why we celebrate Guy Fawkes day. Bonfire Night/Guy Fawkes never liked a single bit of how the King Of England treated his kingdom. So he made a plan of how to kill the king. He didn’t care of how many people he killed he just needed to kill the king for good. After preparing the Gunpowder and getting ready to kill the king he got caught and was ordered from the king to be killed immediately. So the King put on one condition that on the November Of the 5th Guy Fawkes day will be celebrated. This Holiday is similar too Parihaka day and Parihaka is similar too Waitangi day also. So comment down below if picking the right choices equals peace? Hoped your had a great day because I’ve see you in the next blog.Country Search: Tonga
Country Search: Tonga
Introduction: Tonga Language Week. I’m not Tonga but I’m very hyped for this week very prepared for what will happen next. We should be thankful for the culture we get to celebrate because it’s called respect. Hoping this performance will be one of the best ones I’ve had this year.
Doing a Tonga song, Dance and Tonga speech will be good to hear and ready for what things I could pick up too remember for trying too understand this language like me wanting to try and understand Japanese for another culture that’s very cool. This week is on Monday, 7, Sep 2020. Even all of New Zealand celebrated it because this goes back to Respect once again.
Where is Tonga - Tonga is in the ocean Pacific Ocean which is the biggest ocean out in the world. Also near the beautiful Island Samoa which is my culture (facts).
What’s the Population of Tonga people: The number of Tonga people this year is 105,695 people which equals I big amount of people this year.
What does Tonga mean to Me: the word “Tonga” means to me is Strong, Fearless & Fast.
What my Tonga Group did for Tonga Language Week: For Tonga Language Week. Each group did a Song, Dance & some one to speak in Tonga for these group and other stuff.
Facts about Tonga: The word Tonga comes from fakatonga, which means “southwards”and the word Tonga also comes from the Hawaiian region of Kona (facts again).
