My Holidays

Hey bloggers,
Today I will be sharing what I did in the holidays.
My holidays was quite boring. Only the last day of the holidays was fun. What am I talking about fun, no it was super duper fun. Should I tell you what I did? Fine, DRUM ROLL please. I went ICE SKATING!! If I went by myself it would've been so boring, but did I go by myself. If you said yes your wrong because I went with all of my cousins. We first got our sizes for our ice skates and we each needed a frame because it was our first time. All of us fell even with the frame. Then we got use to the ice. When you want to learn how to skate without the frames there is a huge board that shows you what to do. Me and my cousins wanted to learn without the frame so we copied and learnt everything we needed to learn to be a good skater and then we started riding without the frame. WOO HOO!!!
Thank you bloggers for reading my blog.

Mahinga Kai Crusaders

Hey Bloggers,
Today I will be sharing what I learned in my reading.

Before the Europeans and long before the supermarket the Maori ranged for wide and far Mahinga Kai. Their food resources came from many different places like the forests, lakes, and the endless coastlines.

Karl Russel's considers himself as a very rich man. He hunts and collects food for himself. He can only eat the things he hunts, makes, and cooks. He says it isn't easy being a Mahinga Kai Crusader. Its all about sharing kai, and saving kai for the winter.

So what exactly is Mahinga Kai? According to Karl, it is anything that is edible that can be grown, collected, or caught close to home. Karl says that he will only eat it if it runs, walks, flies, or swims. In the last month Karl picked blackberries, plums, apples, pears, and watercress.

From nearby beaches, Karl collects sweet tasting kutai, paua, and kina. He said he used to catch cod, tarakihi, kahawai, and elephant fish right of the beach. Karl harvests kankana, patiki, inanga, herring, trout, salmon, and tuna.

Several times a year, Karl and his whanau head into the hills to hunt. They catch rabbits, hares, pigs, goats, deer, chamois, and thar. They make salami, saveloys, sausages, and bacon.

Tahu artist Simon Kaan's working day often starts before dawn, when hes on his surfboard, watching the sun rise over a beach on Otago Peninsula. As a professional artist, Simon is constantly looking for creative ways to tell a story.

                                                                                   
One special video is from  Bluff Kaumatua Tiny Metzger. In the 1970s, he recorded the methods his whanau use to preserve titiin kelp bags. Simon's also excited about the website's international potential.

Now Simon has his own 3 young tamariki of his own, Simon is passing on his whanaus Mahinga Kai tradition. This is how the tradition Mahinga Kai is passed on.

SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY

HEY BLOGGERS,

TODAY I WILL BE STARTING THE SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY DAY 1 ACTIVITY 3. THE WHOLE OF THE SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY IS ABOUT CHANGE MAKERS.


SCALING NEW HEIGHTS

IN 1953 SIR EDMUND HILLARY AND HIS SHERPA (GUIDE), TENZING NORGAY WERE THE FIRST PEOPLE TO REACH THE SUMMIT (TOP) OF MT EVEREST, THE TALLEST AND BIGGEST MOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD. 

LATER IN 1960 WHEN SIR EDMUND HILLARY CAME BACK TO NEW ZEALAND HE STARTED AND DID A LOT OF CHARITY WORK. HE WAS THE ONE WHO STARTED THE HIMALAYAN TRUST TO BRING EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE, AND SAFE DRINKING WATER TO THE COUNTRY OF NEPAL- THE COUNTRY WHERE MT EVEREST IS IN.

ACTIVITY

THE SPCA IS A PLACE WHERE THEY HELP SICK, INJURED, NEGLECTED, ABUSED, OR SIMPLY ABANDONED. THE SPCA HAS BEEN PROTECTING NEW ZEALANDS PETS FOR OVER 140 YEARS NOW. [THEY] ARE NEW ZEALANDS OLDEST AND LARGEST ANIMAL WELFARE CHARITY, WITH 39 CENTRES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I THINK IF MY PETS WORE LOST I WOULD GO TO THE SPCA.

SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY

HEY BLOGGERS,

TODAY I WILL BE STARTING THE SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY DAY 1 ACTIVITY 2. THE WHOLE OF THE SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY IS ABOUT CHANGE MAKERS.


DISCOVERING AOTEAROA

MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT KUPE WAS THE FIRST MAN TO DISCOVER AOTEAROA, NEW ZEALAND IN 1300. HE NAVIGATED FROM HAWAIKI TO AOTEAROA BY USING THE SUN, STARS, AND THE OCEAN SWELLS.

LATER IN 1642 A MAN NAMED ABEL TASMAN CAME FROM THE NETHERLANDS. HE THOUGHT HE WAS THE FIRST MAN TO 'DISCOVER' NEW ZEALAND BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT MAORI HAD ALREADY DISCOVERED AOTEAROA, NEW ZEALAND.

ACTIVITY

MY CULTURE IS KOUNAR, AFGHANISTAN.
MY FAMILY WAS BOUGHT UP IN AFGHANISTAN. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO AFGHANISTAN BECAUSE MY PARENTS TELL ME THAT IT'S TO DANGEROUS. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE HOW AFGHANISTAN REALLY LOOKS AND HOW IT FEELS BEING THERE. I WISH THAT ALL THE FIGHTING NEVER HAPPENED. MY DAD TOLD ME THAT IN THE OLDEN DAYS AFGANISTAN WAS SO PRETTY BUT WHEN THE FIGHTING AND WARS STARTED IT NEVER DID LOOK PRETTY AGAIN. LETS MOVE ON. SINCE I AM FROM AFGHANISTAN I SPEAK PASHTO. THERE ARE TWO OFFICIAL LANGUAGES THAT ARE SPOKEN IN AFGHANISTAN. THEY ARE PASHTO, AND DARI. FARSI IS ANOTHER LAUNGUAGE BUT IS'NT THAT POPULAR IN AFGHANISTAN.
