Sad joke on a Marae

Hi my name is Lyla, and in my English we are doing a poem called "Sad joke on a Marae."

The poem is written by Apirana Taylor and it is about a guy called Tu, he grew up not knowing really about his culture. He said in the poem that jail was his home and the only Maori he knew was Tihei Mauriora.

Te Tiriti part 2

 Personally I think the Queen is a shady shark for making the British steal land from the Maori. I think the British lied to the Maori to get them to sign the Tiriti. They may have  translated it incorrectly on purpose.   The reason for this is because they did not want the Maori chiefs to be aware that they would lose Maori sovereignty and self governance.

Te Tiriti

 

Our class is learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. In this picture the wave represents Te Tiriti. Every person on the picture represents a different meaning, I am the person sitting be hind the hill because I hear a lot of people talking about Treaty of Waiangi but i'm not sure what it is about.

Lion Dancing

 On wednesday we went to go do lion dancing with a guy named Winsome Lam. He told us to get into groups of 2. Zoe and I of course went together.  We decided that I was going to be head and Zoe was going to be the body. People that were going to be heads had to go and get this belt thing. You and to tie it around your waist like you tie your shoe. Next he should us the things we had to do.  Zoe had to put her hand under neath the belt and then I had to bend backwards. Then we both had to squat down. Then we all had turns to go into the lion costumes that they had brung! But Zoe and I didn't want to (as we had a choice) By Lyla.
