Hiwi the Kiwi Show

At the Hiwi the Kiwi Show the Minstrel told us lots of different things we need to remember when fishing.

First, you need to hold a fish with a wet towel when you catch one because just like us when we don't wear sunscreen, they will get burnt.

The minstrel also spoke about wearing a life jacket.  If the boat flips or something terrible happens where you end up in the water and you're not wearing a life jacket you might drown, but if your wearing one you will survive.

From this, I learned how to be safe on the water.

Raranga Matihiko Trip.

In week 3 of term 4 our class went to Waitangi Treaty Grounds to learn about digital technologies, our culture and legends.

First I did paint 3D. In paint 3D you can paint and when you are finished painting you can make it 3D. It is really fun.

Then I did one of my favourites, virtual reality. In virtual reality you put some eye goggles on and then you hold some remotes. One is a tool remote and the other is a remote where you can chose anything from the tool remote.

Next I did green screen. So when you do green screen there is a video camera 🎥 and a background that is green. Then you pose and look at the video camera and a photo pops up on the video screen and you can see yourself doing different things like flying. It is really fun.

Then I went on a hikoi. A hikoi is a walk. On  the hikoi  I saw big wakas and special trees 🌲 that are rare. There are lots of different carvings and one shows that if you cross your fingers and put them behind your back it means you are lying.

Last on another hikoi I went to the whare runanga and there was a show. It was cool, the people at the show showed us things from our Maori history and how to use the weapons. It was amazing but then I found out the weapons were only models.
