The Animals Of Antarctica


How well do you think this work has gone?
I think that our group did our presentation really well because we completed everything before time and even had time to practise what we were saying.

What was the best section of your work?
I think learning about how the animals stay alive during the coldest season was the best because I learnt the most things in that section.

Where did you go wrong in completing this assignment?
The presentation wasn't that bright or colorful and was a bit boring.

How might you improve your outcome in the future?
Add a bit more information and some more colors to it.

What did you find interesting about the topic you completed your presentation?
Finding out what all the different animals eat and how they stay alive.

What did you struggle with during this assessment?
Not having everyone here on presentation day.

Maori Tattooing


Moko (Maori Tattooing)

  Moko is the name of Maori tattooing which is something the Maori men would do when they wanted to get tattoos for different meanings.
The moko's were normally curvy lines with patterns, never crossed the center of the face.
One of the moko designs can go on the left side of the face which is generally the father's ancestry and the right side is for the mother's ancestry. 
I think that I would not want to get a Moko only because it would hurt and I don't really want scars on my face. 


My Ta moko is in the place where the woman get tattooed because I am a female.
My Ta moko means family.

My Dictator


A Dictator
I think that the characteristics of a dictator mostly have are strict, powerful, self-centred, controlling and mean. When Adolf Hitler was a dictator he has these traits. He thought he could control anything and anyone so he sent Jews to concentration camps all over Germany hoping they were going to die. 6 million/more were killed. I think sometimes being a dictator you can be cruel and I wouldn't want to be a dictator.

New Zealand Government


New Zealand Government

 New Zealand is a democratic country, which the Members Of Parliament are chosen in free and fair elections. People over the age of 18 that live/from New Zealand are enrolled to vote. Voting is not compulsory. Once every 3 years and two months, New Zealand holds elections for voting. This voting system ensures the protection of human rights. We use MNP to vote in New Zealand and for the Members Of Parliament. This is what a democratic country will be like.

The UK Influence On New Zealand















I'm in the UK group and I have been working on the foods.

I have learnt that the UK is a lot like New Zealand and that NZ has a lot of things from the UK.

I have enjoyed learning the different traditional foods from the different areas of the UK. 
This is the link to the slide.
