The blog of greatnenss.

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about cultural stories and the big question was;

What is the significance in the 21st Century of our Cultural stories?

 First we brainstormed what culture is and came up with lots of ideas. Culture is what tradition you and your family do, it means what type of food you might eat and what we just do it our everyday life. Then we thought about our own culture and talked to our parents about our traditions and heritage. I wrote a post about my family and things we like to do.

 In Literacy we read and discussed myths and legends from around the world then we concentrated on Maori legends. I read Maui and the Goddess of death. I have written my own legend called how the Rhino got his Horn.

We made a performance about the story Battle of the Mountains. Some students wrote the script, some students took on the job of making all the artwork, some worked hard on organising the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance and drama.

 It was all fun in general my favourite part was that when we had to get dressed up. For our production I contributed by dancing in the mission impossible and also the victory royal I think the show might impact on others by having fun but still working
. What I learned about working with others was to share talents and make up our own dance.
Have you ever starred in a prodution before?

The Wonky Donkey visit

Gday gday koe rongonui bloggerthat is Maori for Gday gday you blogger legends. On Thursday the 20th of September my school was lucky enough to have Craig Smith the author of the Wonky Donkey come to our school and talked to us about creative writing and we had a show.

The creative writting workshop was only for tumu. He taught us how many jobs of writting there is. Some excamples are movie script writer and comic books writter. He aslo told us that in one sentence we could find 5 thounds words for the exact same thing.

The show was amazing I loved it. He brought puppets so people could nibble your ears. Even Luca dreesed up as a Kea and I got a high five. He did all his songs in his. My favourite was the donkey paralypics.

Culture

Who signed the treaty with the British and made waitangi day? The Maori! That is what culture I am, Well 1/2 am. My other half is Irish. I get the Irish because of my Mum. She is 100 percent Irish. My Brother and my Sister is also born in Ireland, Dublin. But I wasn't born in Ireland I was born in New Zealand like my Dad. He is 3/4 Maori and 1/4 Irish so everything worked out ok.



What is Culture
Culture is someones family. Where they come from. What traditions they do. What food they eat. Their accents, And what's on their flag.

With the Maori we have Green Stones . They are very special to the Maori culture.

On the Irish flag there is 3 straight lines and they go Green, White and Orange.

What culture are you from?
