Gallery 3: The Maori word for fish-hook is matau. A hinaki is a eel trap, it is used for catching food. The Maori word for flute is Murirangaranga. The flute belonged to Tutanekai. Tutanekai lived on Mokoia Island. Tutanekai's flute was made from a dead man's right arm. 

Gallery 4: Pataka is the store house. Food gets stored in the Pataka.

Gallery 6: The Maori name of the pink and white terraces are for the white: Te Tarata and the pink: Otukapuarangi.

Gallery 7: The soldiers of B company 28 Maori Battalion fought in world war 2. They used to use dried pipi's as eatable chewing gum. 
Miss New Zealand was Linda Ritchie ( Maiden name) Linda Edward ( married name)  
Underneath a teapot it said Bath Buildings Rotorua NZ.    
Epi Shalfoon came from Opotiki.

Gallery 8: Te Rangitakaroro is a large/tall carving. it was used for a gateway. In 2001 1 - 9 Maori were living overseas.

My Weekend

This weekend didn't start with a Saturday game because I had hurt my wrist at school. My friend Amy told me that we lost 19-15 to Rotorua Int. My weekend was abit boaring because I didn't get to play netball and we just stayed home.

Cry Of The Taniwha- Chapter 22

Literacy.

1. Describe what happened in this chapter.

Skulla steals the Rothery stone off Matt just as he finds it. The mudpool explodes and Skulla, Diz, Croak, and Jackson dies The Rothery stone is lost in the mud. Old Tani tried to warn them but he would not run until just before it blew up. 

2. Reflect on your literacy work this week. PMI - the good, the bad and the interesting... 

PLUS 

It's fun trying to predict what happens next.

What did Matt and Eve find?
 Matt and Eve found about 40 diamonds in the ponga candle stand.


 Do you think that they should go with Ana? Why? Why not?
 I dont think they should go with Ana because she is with the gang and that she might be just leading them into one of Skallas traps.
