This is my Taniwha Design, It is quite inaccurate because of How it looks like. Taniwha is about is a Large supernatural creature that lives in a deep water, deep caves, or places with dangerous things. For My Taniwha i choose tuhirangi, Tuhirangi is a Legendary guardian (who is a water spirit or creature) from Maori tradition. It could do things like protecting the ocean and the people, Remove the rubbish in the ocean, and Its Message of it was To protect it from Harmful things that could ruin or Make the ocean hazardous.

Whaea Sharlene principal farewell ☹
On Friday last week 18th of September it was our schools principal farewell she is moving away to go to a different school.
Before she left she had asked for the whole school to perform one last time Kapa Haka.
Everyone tried hard for the farewell it was probably the best performance and the strongest one ever the school had done. It was at least 35 minutes before it stopped next, we had to listen to about 12 speeches that were all 5 minutes long. (Except for the principals, that one was 15 min long).
we sat for what felt like 2 and a half hours we stood up finally and got some ice blocks from the PTA.
For the 1st time i had seen the whole school cry and wail now people are very sad.

friday at home
On friday I was at home because I was sick we were supposed to give our principal a farewell but I could not go. So at home I was all alone with my brother. My brother was not sick but when I take a day off school he does too. But it also works the other way round so I also get to stay home when my brother is sick enough to stay home. I read three full books in four hours.

Kōwhaiwhai Patterns
This week we are celebrating Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. We had the chance to learn some drawing techniques from Whaea Moana, so that we could create kōwhaiwhai patterns which we turned into printing stamps. It was tricky for me, but I am so happy with how my art turned out.
The tamariki have done such a fabulous job with their art. We are so lucky to have the opportunity to explore the history of the patterns and shapes, and turn it into something we can treasure forever.
My Response to Speak No Maori – Zedd
My response to this video was that it was a terrifying trauma for Maori children and adults and how it affected them emotionally and physically. By speaking Te Reo Maori in schools the Maori children were punished by getting whipped by the British people. It also showed how maori children and adults were forced to speak English that to me showed racism towards a language and towards the Maori culture, It made me think about First Nations in America, and Canada, Africans, and the Afro-Americans being punished or harassed because of their skin Colour, language and culture. I was quite shocked that Maori were told to believe in christianity and to stop believing their own gods-Atuas.
The efforts that were being made to revitalise te reo maori language were the starting of kura kaupapa (Maori Preschools) and kuras (Schools taught in maori language or english and maori). Currently they are organisations that make sure te reo maori language is taught.
My question is, Why would they trick Maoris out of New Zealand sovereignty?

Speak No Maori
I noticed that in the video around the year 1847 Maori children were punished if they spoke Te Reo in schools. The effect of this was that Maori children would be whipped. The British built churches and schools to make sure that English was spoken at all times. The Maori language started to decline and the British forced them to believe in Christianity rather than their Atuas. In 1972 it was beginning of revitalisation of the Maori language, where Kura Kaupapa (kindergartens, pre schools) that were taught in the Te Reo Maori (full immersion). Then kuras (schools) were built to make sure Te Reo Maori spoken. I felt sad because the Te Reo was being lost and Maori children were being punished for speaking their language.
I wonder how the British people would feel if they couldn’t speak the English language and were punished for it?
