English

In class, the students pick a learning activity before we start class.
For example reading, writing, typing etc.
I enjoy reading so I chose to read, the book I was reading made feel
like I was in my comfort zone.
Reading helped me learn more words and a better understanding of life.

Social studies

In social studies, we have been learning about how Maori lived their life in the early days. Here is some of my working.
Daily life in Maori communities - te noho a te hapori


Traditionally, the day began early with prayers and singing to worship the rising sun.
The daily life of the community was based around getting food, so most people spent their days in activities such as
Planting and tending
Crops in communal
gardens.
Fishing and gathering seafood
Hunting moa other birds or seals.
Children and adults worked alongside each other, and chiefs worked together with their people.
The first meal of the day was around mid morning. As the sun began to set, workers returned to the village and food was prepared and eaten together.
The rest of the evening was spent in games and conservations.
Sometimes there were prayers o the settings sun once it was dark people generally went to sleep.

My highlight would be spending time with famil
