My Goals 2020 Term 1

These are our goals for 2020 term 1
for our learning disposition we chose people who came to Turanganui - A - Kiwa in the horouta waka.
We chose the horouta waka because the were the first people to come to 
Turanganui - A - Kiwa. I chose Hinehakirirangi because she was a risk taker and I want to take more risks.



 

My Lenten Promises

Lent is a time of preparation for easter it begins on ash wednesday and the day before ash wednesday is shrove tuesday we in the olden days they would make pancakes because eggs and milk were really expensive. In this time we give things as money to caratas which is a team of friendly people donating to the poor, give up things like chocolate, t.v, and things you love.
Lent is a time of renewal. Lent is a time for fasting which means your giving up something and
almsgiving means you will give something to the poor every week or something like that and you need to pray more in lent because jesus walked through a desert for 40 days and 40 nights
 so we give up something that he couldn't have or didn't have much of.

museum visit

This is the waka that I made at school. People from the museum taught us about Horouta which is the waka that Paoa and Kiwa used to travel to Aotearoa. The people from the museum were so nice when they came to our school, and they taught us all about Paoa and Kiwa and how they travelled to Aotearoa

When Paoa and Kiwa
sailed from Hawaiki (we don't know where Hawaiki is. Do you?) to Aotearoa they were using a 
hourua waka, which is a double hulled waka. They brought kumara with them and this is how kumara first came to New Zealand. They were happily sailing along when they came to a sudden stop because they crashed into a sandbar at Ohiwa and the waka broke. Paoa had to go cut down a special tree to repair it. When Kiwa was in Ohiwa she made some minor repairs and sailed past the East Cape and on to Gisborne/Turanganui-a-kiwa which is where Paoa was sailing to, sitting on the tree down Waipaoa River. They meet out at Wainui Beach where they fixed the waka.
