This week we have been learning Parihaka. Parihaka was invaded by the European colony on November 5th 1881. Parihaka was a peaceful settlement that was led by Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi, and they both were born in Taranaki!
We have been creating a biography profile about one of the leaders! I picked Tohu Kakahi.
My Biography profile is great but not that great what I mean in short terms is I am not finished yet but by the time you see it, it will be finished! But anyway, Tohu Kakahi was a peaceful guy living in a peaceful life then the Europeans invaded their town and then he became really angry then after a long time he passed away. Here’s a Photo of the Scene. My biography of him! If you have a question please comment.


This week we have been learning about Parihaka. Parihaka was invaded by Europeans troops on November 5th 1881. Parihaka was a peaceful settlement that was led by Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi. After the introduction of Settlements act they occupied some confiscated land and created the Parihaka settlement that is there today. They lived there from 1866 until the invasion in 1861. After they were imprisoned then released, they went back to parihaka to peaceful resistance.
We have been creating a biography profile about one of the leaders of Parihaka.
Question: Do you know things about Parihaka? Did you learn about it?
This week we have been learning about two people called Te Whiti o Rongomai,and Tohu Kakahi.Two of these people are so old they were born in like 1830 around that time.They were both from taranaki.
We have been creating a biography profiel about one of the leaders of Parihaka.it is inserted below in the Canva post I did,The whiti o rongomai was a peacful guy and a maori leader and the other leader Tahu Kakahi
He was a prophet.

If you were a maori leader what is one thing you would say to the whole world.
This week we learned parihaka it was an invasion from the Europeans at 1881 November and the leaders of parihaka are whiti-O-rongomai III and toku kakahi if the taranaki maori people did something wrong or not they will jail them And The arrival of European weapons triggered severe intertribal conflicts Raids by northern Waikato Maori caused massive disruptions forcing large numbers of local Te Ati Awa and Taranaki Maori
here is my paper mint heart, you need paper and maybe glue!
on Wednesday we did athletics at school it was really fun because me and the other Year 4 had to take control over the attractions,
and I had to take control over the sack race. It was really boring and I was dehydrated, after that the year 4 had to go do the athletics it was really fun because first we had to do discus, after that we did high jump, after that we did hurdles, then sprints. Sadly, I got disqualified from the sprints. If I didn’t, I might have gone to the semi-finals. But overall athletics was super fun and I wish for it to happen again!

My favourite part was the race where we have to race and try to go to the finals and I thought I would be in the finals but I was so close I was 4th place and I think I will be 3rd next year?even I enjoy playing and having so much fun on athletics and the hard part was the high jump because it was going higher and higher and it was hard but it was challenging but it was so fun!even I lost my shoes at the field and I were my old ones.
On Wednesday we had athletics it was very fun.me and my friends got the sack race and we recorded how well the kids did, and had lots of fun. We had high jump, hurdles, shock put, discs, and sprints, I was pretty good In my opinion. i didn’t do well in high jump , i did good in hurdles same with shock put and discs.I made to the sprints, I was really lucky because boy named willjay got called out for stepping in other peoples lanes, I feel really sad for him.but anyways I got 3rd in semi finals and I got into the final race but I got 4th place
This week in literacy we have be foucing on our writing about what you touch,hear and taste on the beach and our reading sides about In The Beginning in the slides we had to watch a video first then our slides. That is our literacy work.
I enjoyed the part when we did the shot put and the high jump and it was fun when I help the teacher and doing the activity. also I like when I did the sprints I came 3rd on the 1st on the 2nd I came 4th so I did’t came on the finals and I like when my friend was in the finals like Maddison and It was fun when I did the shot put with Whaea bell and Whaea Cory. I got me a lot faster of the sprints some people did’t like to did it but they did it and we came upstaris to sing a song and that’s the end of my athletics day.
In my athletes day I came first In the race I was so happy I celebrated with my parents and they gave me presents. Also, I love the height jump it was so fun. In the race I tried my best and in the other activities I was doing good and my parents were cheering me on throughout my race, I felt Amazing.
Athletics
We had athletics this week there was many different assigned activities for waihoihoi our activities where
hurdles which is like a 50 m run but with little obstacles in it there was shot put where we hold a heavy metal ball to our jaw and push it forwards there was 100 m run which I came 4 th place in my run we also had discus which is where we hold a in our hand and make it touch our palms and see who can throw it the furthest and finally high jump which is basically just jumping over a pole which is not as easy i thought it would be easy but it really was not
In athletics I like the 100 meter sprint It helps me to get a bit faster and I noticed that people do not like athletics but they still try.
I know that people like high jump and I am really grateful for the teacher’s hard work. My favourite one is the 100 meter sprint and it is very good for my fitness. It’s not about challenging it about having fun!
I almost got into the finals, but I needed to work harder.

This term we did athletics, in athletics we did sprints, discs, shotput, high jump, and hurdle. Last year athletics was postponed because of the rain. This year I liked discs the most because throwing it was fun.
