Museum Fotor
This is my Fotor hat I have made about our trip to the Auckland Museum. All of the year 7 and 8 students went to the Museum to learn about Migration. Migration means when people go to a place because they have to or because they want to leave a certain place.
Voyaging Waka Recount
The Voyaging Waka Journey
Have you ever wondered how overwhelming guiding 12 people is? As the captain of a voyaging waka I guarded 12 lives, making sure they were safe at all times. All passengers were prepared for this long journey and were all ready to head off to find new land. That week everyone was tired and frustrated . Storing and packing the food was difficult. Live animals were challenging to take aboard because of the fight they put up against the strong men. 1/3 of the Raven tribe had decided to travel in search of new land, because of the overgrowing population. We had to sacrifice our life to make and set a good example for their kids. We all missed them a lot but, they made a commitment to set sail for another environment for us. The fears we faced was starvation, and not knowing where we were. We all were looking forward to leading a better life. All of the responsibility realise on your shoulder.
It was amazing as we were leaving our Island because I thought it wouldn’t be hard to say goodbye, But sadly It was really hard to say goodbye to our family and friends, because they have been there for us since we stepped foot onto this land. As we got into the voyaging vaka we said goodbye to our families because we thought that we would never see them again. As we were leaving they were giving us a traditional farewell with traditional music and dancers. As we walked onto the waka our captain was leading us through the stars as we were travelling.
As strange as it may seem, us Maori people had to keep our food source with us so we wouldn’t starve to death. On the Voyaging waka we didn’t have fridges to keep our food source fresh so we used the water as our fridge’s. Sometimes live fish were kept in bamboo cages tied to the side of the boat. Sometimes fish were caught but at the same time sometimes they weren’t. We took Live dogs, pigs and poultry. We put fish and Shellfish on the roof of the waka to dry out the fish. We also took with us coconuts, They would be helpful for a variety of things like: Coconut milk For drinking, Coconut meat for food flavouring, Coconut fibre for making ropes and toilet paper and Coconut Shells (dried) for wood on the cooking fire. Green Coconuts were kept in cool storage or in the water because coconuts can go off fast in the heat. We also took fruit and vegetables with us. The fruit we took were: Breadfruit, Bananas and many other fruits. Fruits were sometimes sun dried on racks.The vegetables we took were: Taro, Yams, Sweet Potatoes (Kumara) and many other vegetables. The smell of the fresh food could make us all fall to the ground.
Do you know how hard it is to take care of 12 people because it is the same as taking care of yourself? Living on Voyaging Waka for about two to three weeks is hard. I had to take care of my siblings so that they are safe . It would be my responsibility to take care of them especially if my family was living on a Waka. My family and I were traveling to a far place on the Pacific Ocean. It was really extremely impressive that our family survived on this scary, long ride. Being a passenger on our Waka is pretty scary because going thru waves, seeing big storms heading our way.Thats why it’s important that I keep my family safe on a Voyaging Waka.
I knew that everyone was terrified because they thought that they weren't going to make it to their new home . As soon as they saw the land they were glad to know that they made it back to their new home, that they could call New Zealand. If we could make the Voyaging Waka different it would be a cage that would hold all of the animals. so they didn’t drown were coming back home.
We all felt relieved because we made it to our new homes. Everybody on the boat including me, was cheering and jumping on the boat. As we were heading to shore we were doing our traditional maori dance. I also felt horrible that had to leave my siblings but at the end of the day I had to find new land for us.

Space Jump Show
On behalf of Panmure Bridge School, we appreciate Tai And Naomi coming to our school to perform for us the Space Jump show. We really like the performance you performed to us about the alien coming to earth to search for facts about fiction books. The message behind your story was to use your imagination and to be creative. Also if you don't know how to read a certain book, try to look at the pictures or ask someone politely to read it to you. My favourite book you showed us was The Boring Book. I liked that book because it had scientific words in it and the pictures were really cool. Your show was funny and made us laugh, Also your guys voices were really good. Panmure Bridge School, we thank you guys for coming to our school to perform for us and we hope you guys come and visit again.

Homonyms Presentation
This is a presentation that I have done Collaboratively with Asmah. We both learnt that Homonyms are words that sound the same but are spelt differently and have different meanings. We also learnt what contraction words are. They are words that are shortened by a apostrophy
