My Family Tree :D

My mum's parents & Grandparents are full Maori. Her parents grew up with lots of siblings, compared to my mum and her sister. Our grandmother enjoy's taking us out to places with our cousins. Places like the movies, shops and out for walks! Our grandfather enjoys taking us out to places like the pools and playgrounds :) Ajani, Eva and I have been lucky enough to have met our mum's grandmother's when we were younger. Our great grandmothers :D

My dad is Tongan/British! I didn't find this out until, well, to be honest. I only found this out today! We weren't able to meet our great grandfather's and our great grandmother but we were able to meet our great grandmother Fehoko back in Tonga when we were younger. My papa & nana live just around the corner from our house. We usually visit a lot but now that we're in isolation we don't visit as much. We usually go out shopping and out to the park with our cousins. My nana and papa also have a whole lot of siblings compared to my dad and aunty.

Well, yeah! I grew up with 4 siblings. They can be a bit annoying but we're still family :D I'm still shocked that we're part British and that I just found out today!

Hope you enjoyed !

Day 5: Activity 1, 2 & 3

________________________________________

Task 1:It's Friday!

Create a poster that shows 3 key quotes you have heard your parents/whanau say since being in Level 4 alert.

_____________________________________________________________________

This means to think of Covid-19 as a test. And when you think of a test, think of passing. Have faith and believe you can pass the test! Believe anything is possible. Outsmart the test and stick to the rules.

Even though there's a whole lot going on it's best to stay calm. If you're calm, you'll understand and'll know how to manage :) If you're strong on the inside and out and you believe, then you're ready :D

Keeping your distance, not just by contact but also through personal reasons. It's good to keep a good distance because you're not contacting anyone but it's also good to keep your distance with others. You never know if someone is actually having a rough time. It'll keep you safe from harming them and/or yourself :D

_____________________________________________________________________

Task 2: Extra - Text Message

If you were given the ability to text message today to all people of Aotearoa - what  would it be? NO more than 10 words!

Write in screen here, take a pic and post on your blog to end your first week of our Easter Learning Journey.

_____________________________________________________________________

I decided to base my text message about Convid-19. Some people aren't taking it seriously and I want people to know that Covid-19 is dangerous. Staying safe and following the rules that our prime minister has set for us to obey. We're all in this together!

👍😋🔌

Overall, this week's Easter Learning Journey has been super fun and has kept me lots of company. I reckon I did pretty good considering I started a bit late. In the end I managed to get the activities finished :D

For some random reason I felt silly while doing some of the activities. But don't worry, it's not unusual. It's just my just my personality.

Oh and also, I always seemed to lose my charger in random places. Underneath the couch, underneath the bean bags. You name it, it'll most likely be there!

Easter Learning Journey ~ Day 2 ~ Activity 1 & 2

Day 2! 

Kia Mau Tonu Te Tumanako - Never Lose Hope

_________________________________________________________________________________

Task ~

Activity 1: When you enter our school look up, you see a New Zealand flag! 
This flag was designed back in 1902. That makes the New Zealand flag 115 years old!

It’s your turn to design a flag for NZ - a flag to spread HOPE across Aotearoa at this time. 

Use google draw or this flag design site to design your flag.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Activity 2: 

Post your new flag on your blog and to score to earn full points you must describe the
flag, in words, below the picture. Please tell us what is on the flag and what inspired your
design.

My flag! :)

_________________________________________________________________________________

My flag is quite simple but it represents the little things in New Zealand.  I didn't have the imagination at the time to come up with a creative flag so I kept it simple.

As you can see there is a white fern on the bottom left. The fern is a native plant to New Zealand. New Zealand uses the fern for a whole lot! You're able to find it our in nature, using the name Ferns  in some of our sport teams and a whole lot more. The fern symbolizes eternal youth and represents new life and new beginnings. To others it represents family and hope for the future generations. Some people get little fern badges as a souvenir from New Zealand. It's pretty cool!

In the middle is a simple yet beautiful Maori pattern/plant. This is called the Koru. The Koru is a fern related plant. Again you are able to find this plant in our (New Zealand) nature and outdoor world. But, you actually can't find them just sitting around in bushes and other places. You can find them on the eastern Great Barrier Island and other off shore islands of Whanganui. It's not just a pattern/plant as it does have a meaning. The koru symbolizes, Peace, New lives and Growth! Some also think that the koru brings good luck to new lives and to families.


Lastly, in the top right corner there are 4 starts. I took the idea from the original New Zealand flag. It represents the southern cross, a constellation. One of the distinctive features of southern hemisphere sky is the constellation of the Southern Cross. The southern cross is the first constellation that New Zealand children recognized. It actually does not represent the New Zealand people but it does represent the New Zealand Government.


Knowing the meaning of the things on my flag inspired me to inform people about what it symbolizes and what the meaning is. We're not just a nation of New Zealanders. We're made up of a whole lot of different cultures! But as Te Reo is one of our main languages I decided to use some symbols and things from the Maori Culture. I am too Maori and love my culture dearly. I think the meaning behind the Koru, Fern and Stars are beautiful and so thats why I decided to use them on my flag :)

Easter Learning Journey ~ Day 1 - Activity 1, 2 & 3

Kia ora, My name is Jahzara! I’m a year 8 at Pt England school. I am the second eldest out of 5. I love to write stories and I love to draw. Anyways, It’s the school holidays and it has been pretty boring. I enjoy going out to places like the park, movies or even the beach but because we're in isolation I can't do much.  To make your holiday a bit more joyful you could always blog. Blogging doesn’t just show what you’ve been doing. It helps your knowledge grow. Not only to become a stronger learner but to also help you get smarter. Team 5 has given us a special Easter Learning Journey to help us blog throughout the holidays. They’ve given us amazing and fun activities to do and enjoy. 

So here I am, completing the Easter Learning Journey
