Samoa Tatau

 During the Samoan language week, my reading group named Ruby Rhinos were learning about the Samoan tatau. Tatau is the Samoan word for tattoo. Both of my parent have the tatau they both of got their tattoos made the traditional way. There are two ways of making the Samoan tattoo. There's the traditional one, and the other that uses a modern tattoo machine. The traditional way of making the tattoo involves a shark tooth! ( I learnt this from the book named Man at sea. ) I enjoyed this activity a lot. Would you want a Samoan tattoo and if you do would you get it done in the traditional way using a shark's tooth?

Story of Abraham and & Sarah

In week 3-4  we had to watch a video about the story of Abraham and Sarah then write a roleplay about them. In my group was Unaise, Mikaela, Paula and myself. I enjoyed this activities a lot and I had absolutely no difficulties.

The story started in Canaan, where there was an old couple named Abraham & Sarah. The old couple wanted kids but Sarah wasn't able to have any children. On one evening, God appeared out of thin air and said "If you believe in me throughout your journey I will give you as many children as the dust particles". Abraham delivered the news to Sarah but she laughed. They started their journey in Ur before walking to Canaan. They waited and waited years passed but Abraham and Sarah we're getting inpatient but they stuck by God's word. Time flew so quickly, it pasted Abrahams 169 th birthday. A few years later Sarah found out she was pregnant. When Sarah got pregnant she named her son Isaac.

Fun fact Abraham & Sarah traveled 700 miles to the borders of present-day Iraq, another 700 miles into Syria, another 800 down to Egypt by the inland road, and then back into Canaan - what is now Israel. 

Have you ever heard the story about Abraham and Sarah?

The evolution of the World

Yesterday in class we had cybersmart, cybersmart is a subject where we learn to be smart on the internet. Our inquiry focus for this term is our past present and our future. I really enjoyed making the slides. I had no difficulties in the making of this slide show.  

  

WW1 postcard

To day in class we had to write a journal or a postcard from world war 1 and we got to make up a fictional character. I enjoyed making this post card. I had no difficulties in the making of this post card. I choose light milkisk green for the background because it my favourite colour. The reason why I choose fancy font is because I think that back in the olden days they always wrote in cursive.

My mothers day card

This whole week we had to make a card for our mothers, for mothers day. First we had to trace a heart on our cards then we had to poke holes on the heart with skewers,after that we had to use the skewer as a needle but before that we had to tape the yarn on to the skewer. I really enjoyed making this card for my mother.
