My Mihi!

In the first two weeks of school, Rimu class learnt how to create and say our mihi in Maori. This is our introduction to our class and community. We also created a ‘visual mihimihi’ to match our mihis. We all had to have 3 parts to our mihi.

1) A self portrait or photo

2) Places of significance

3) Symbols or pictures that represent our culture

Those of us who spoke clearly, confidently with excellent pronunciation with great visuals and layout scored on our rubric. Take a look at my finished mihi and tell us what you think!

My 100WC- Week 2

The Day Of Bad Luck

I was walking through the forest when I heard a large crack.I walked over to where the sound was coming from... I got grabbed on the leg from behind...It felt like an eel wrapping around my leg. It pulled me into the hole that it came out of , I was screaming,"HELP!" Nobody heard me. After a while I broke free and started to run away. As I was walking past a pond, the day after I got pulled into a hole, A whale jumped out of the pond and landed on me... Horrible day to be me.

Soft Toy Robbery

I was driving my Cadillac past the mall when a teddy bear jumped out at me, threw me out of the car and drove away. So I called my friend and he came to me and picked me up. We drove up the hills, but the road went 2 ways so we went 1 way up the hill. I saw my number plate so my friend slammed the brakes and went out to talk to the soft toys. They started the car and tried to get away but it broke down. We threw them out got back in our cars and drove away.
