Taste Buds

 Kia Ora readers,

This week we have been reading about Our Taste Buds. First we had to write what we knew about our senses on a Jamboard like touch, smell, hear, see and taste. Second we had to do a mix and match to see if like banana was Sweet or Sour and did you know that there are five main receptors?. They are Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Salty and Savory which means like meat .  Yesterday with Miss McNeil we have tasting different kinds of food of those five receptors. And these are the food that we tasted. For the coffee most of us thought it was soy sauce and we tasted it and the COFFEE!!. It was kinda funny to see everyone in my reading groups faces, they all looked bitter ha ha but not when i tasted it. But Bailey didn´t want to close his eyes so he just helped to give the food around. 

                                                                                   And these are the photos

1. Honey  ( tastes like medicine )         

2. Lemon  ( tasted so sour )

3. Coffee ( Mrs Jones                                                                                                                                          thought it would be funny, but I don´t                                                                                                        know what i could describe it as all I think is Ew)

4. Ham  ( taste like ham )

5. Chips  ( taste like ship )

The creation of the South Island

Kia Ora readers, 

This week we have been reading about some Maori Legends and we had to rewrite them but we cannot change anything important in the story. We are learning how to rewrite Maori Legends so it might be not good but i tried. This one is The creation of the South Island. For me this took a while since there was some distractions but i finally finished it and here it is.

                          

The creation of the South Island

Pouākai is a bird who eats people and his/her nest is at the summit of Mt Torless and they could see below is the flax, toitoi roupo, swamps and the was a forest on the mountain. The rivers below looked like ribbons twisting to the sea and there was a village nearby where Pouākai lived called Pa (village). As villagers went to get their food the villagers never came back and the people started to notice and began to worry the fact that villagers were missing so a brave man called Ruru to was a fast runner wanted to kill Pouākai but he didn´t knew who then and idea came up to his mind and had a plan but he needed some help but some sacrifices might be made but all he wants is the safety of the village.

He chose 40 of the bravest men and to kill Pouākai and told them the plan but they could only do it at night.night began to fall and Poakai was asleep so all of the men reached the mountain and started to build a cage that could fit 40 men and Pouākai. The sun began to rise and Ruru was out of the cage because he was the bait. Pouākai saw Ruru teasing him and started chasing him and Ruru leading him to the cage but he landed on top of the cage. Pouākai tried to get him but he got stuck and the man chopped his legs and his wings as Pouākai was shaking the cage to get out and killed some men, he shook the cage and more and more men got killed. Some were still alive, Ruru was one of them, and the men finished Pouākai with clubs made with wood and now the villagers won't be harmed while getting their food.

Reading

Welcome readers,

Today in reading, my reading group we have been reading about refugee´s ( people who lived in a country that´s in war ) and their life, and the activity we had to do is that we had to make a poster about is to encourage people and families to move to New Zealand on google drawings. It took me about 7 minutes to create. The hard part was when thinking what to write since its a poster that encourages people and I never really wrote something like that and post it on a blog not that I remember as a kid. and why not you try to encourage people to move to New Zealand ?

And here are the results.

But you need to turn one to complete the puzzle, if its hard then don worry you´ll get it in no time.

Here is my one and it took maybe 3 or 4 minutes to do it then i found out that one of the pieces were turned over so maybe 4, and here are the results. And why don you try to beat my time ?
