Kia ora, I am a student at Marshland School, Welcome - Haere Mai. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note my work may include spelling or other errors because some of it will be my first drafts. I would like to get your feedback - comments, thoughts, questions and ideas to help me Learn Create Share.

In school we've been learning a lot about Te Reo Māori and the language and history surrounding our country and recently we've had to make an animation on Scratch about the weather - more specifically, we had to use the Māori names for everything and represent what they mean. This is my project, I used my two characters named Herb/Herbert and Toast/Toastie. I've used them in a lot of other posts.

Recently for school we've been learning a lot about Waitangi day.
After learning all about the history of it, we were challenged to use a website named Voki to represent how either a British person or a Māori person could have been feeling about what was happening to them. I decided to take it from the Māori point of view because I thought it would be more interesting considering how different the views could have been.
This is my Voki, I edited on subtitles using a premium version of Screencast-o-matic.
Kia Ora Bloggers!
At school, every year we make a portrait of ourselves in a different way. This year we were challenged to use a Lego person template/base and draw ourselves onto it. I completed it pretty quickly.
Kia Ora Bloggers!
In class we had to make a Pepeha using Adobe Spark.
First, we had to write our basic Pepeha using a site that would help us. Then we had to learn how to pronounce everything, which wasn't that hard with the help of Maori Dictionary. After that we basically had to fill in the gaps of a proper Pepeha, adding a lot more detail (mainly around your family).
Here's my Pepeha!
Have a lovely day!
