Maori Hand Games

Maori hand games

Hey everyone today I am going to be showing you how to do some of the Maori hand games.So far our class has been going in group's to learn Maori hand games.The thing's we did there were string(whai),knuckle bones(koruru),clap(paki),hei tama tu tama and hipitiotio.My favorite Moari hand game was the whai,the Maori name for a string.We first had to practice the waka(cup and saucer)and the jellyfish(para shoot).Before I got there I felt really exited because it was really fun the last time I did it.What I want to improve is hei tama tu tama. When I played against Taylah we kept mucking up and just started laughing,and I have to practice my words for hei tama tu tama,I just keep on saying something like: Tutmatita!What I learned was how to play hei tama tu tama.I thought it was really hard,just swinging my arm's everywhere,I also thought it was a little confusing.Something that really challenged me was the knuckle bones(Koruru).We had to try and throw one of the five into the air,pick up one more and catch it,through one,pick up one,catch the one you threw,catch that one and then throw two and carry that on until you get to the end.After that you start to throw one and put one down until you get to the end.Another one that is good if you have never done it is throw it,tap the ground and then catch it.a safe height to throw it is eye-level.When I left I felt sad because it finally ended.

Quick write blog post

Hey guy's!Today i'm going to be sharing my latest,most mysterious quick write.This is a carry on story so you might see some part 2 & 3 story's of the same one.This is the story of the three girl's.The character;s are basically me and my two beeeeeeeest friend's,Taylah and Camryn. Be sure to check their blog's as well!Take a look down below to see the best story yet,The Three Girls...........................................................................

           THE THREE GIRL'S

Man with a deep dark voice speaking:Hi,come in.See that girl sitting in the corner?She is going to tell us a mix up story about what happened last month.She went through the scariest part of her life.That girl's name is Naomi.So,Naomi,go ahead and tell us your story.

Naomi now speaking:So me and my two most best friend's ever,Camryn and Taylah(I'll be calling them Cami and Tay-Tay for the rest of the story) were playing a game at morning tea.My little sister,Leila,was really annoying us.That day was dress like a book character day.I was Slappy the dummy  from goosebumps,Tay-Tay, was Petunia from Geronimo Stilton and Cami was my owner,the person I want to be my slave.That day was amazing,but something terrible happened when we got home....

"Our house's,there gone!"We shouted.We were all neighbors,and that was,well,fun."Let's ask the Pollocks!"Tay-Tay suggested.So we went over to the house the Pollock's lived in,and when we rang the door bell.An old lady came out from behind the door and I said"Excuse me,may we speak to Mrs.Pollock please?""I don't know who on earth that is!"The old lady said."Must be some Halloween trick"The old lady's husband whispered not very quietly."But this is the house the Pollock's were in this morning!"Cami explained,shaking."But by then,they slammed the door in our faces."Well that was rude,I was in the middle of my sentence."Cami said.

"Must be the wrong street."I said."Nope."Tay-Tay said,pointing at our street sing."Oh no."I said.We ran into the middle of were our house's were and ZAP!We were surprised by the bright white light that shone in our eyes.We finally awoke,looking around."Cami?Tay-Tay?Were are you?"Now I know in real life I'm at least half a centimeter taller than Cami,but I looked up and she was at least twice the size of me!"You're a wooden puppet!"Cami said,looking at me with an astonished look on her face.I touched my skin and it really was wood!!!"And ,Tay-Tay,you...your a mouse!"Cami screamed. Cami was on a chair working me as a real puppet in front of an audience.

"What's going on?"I whispered,eager to find out."I think we turned into our book characters!"Cami explained."No way!Impossible!"I said.The audience started to cheer for us.And Tay-Tay,your so cute!"I said,in a high pitched voice."Oh,great.My cat's at home are now going to chase me."She said ."Whoa,what happened to my voice?!"She squeeked."This is beyond weird!"I said.

We all thought this was the danger.But we all thought absolutely wrong.More danger was coming our way..........................

So guy's thank you for reading my post today and I hope you enjoyed the mystery.

My Best Learning

This is my free choice writing. I am proud of this because I think think I’ve worked my hardest and put in my personal best.

My biggest challenge was getting it done in time and getting all the info from my head.

   

Success Criteria (Sentence formation has been our main focus)
Content & Ideas	Include a range of ideas with clear details.
Sentence Formation	Include simple, compound and complex sentences Start most of my sentences with different words
Vocabulary	Choose words and language features to meet my purpose.
Structure	Clear beginning, middle and end with paragraphs.
Spelling	My best spelling with good attempts at words I don’t know.
Punctuation	Use all basic punctuation (capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks) correctly and attempt some complex punctuation.

   

                                                 The unusual play-date

It was a sunny Sunday and I, Naomi, was looking out of Leila’s window.My eye’s were squinting.Watching from side to side of the rood,I was as quite as a ladybug.

It was 11.35.and 21 second’s when...wooooooooooohoooooo!!!She’s here she’s here she’s here she’s here!I quickly put on my shoe’s and hurried out the door and down the driveway.There was a grayish blue car and out of it came my B.F.F Jessica.

We ran up the driveway while my mum and Jessica’s mum walked up slowly chatting to each other.When we got inside our mum’s were trailing behind us like snail’s.Jessica had salt and vinegar chips and m&m afghan's in her hand.I said just to chuck them on the table.

She looked at her notepad and she told me the first thing we were going to do was play our guitar’s.Me and Jessica were terribly hungry but we like to stay on schedule.We started to play when we thought our guitar’s were made of chocolate!We gazed for a long time.

Just then there was a tad change.The six string’s faded into lickrish!We were too astonished to take a bite.When our guitar’s were back to normal,we carried on practicing for Mr.Write (we went on Friday's all 2015 in his class to practice).It was about 11.55 and 2 second’s when we  put our guitar’s away.

It was so weird and annoying when we saw our mum’s still chatting to each other.Jessica said:mum,mum,mum,go away NOW!She said not whispering but quietly.After that she whispered in her mum’s ear:This is MY play-date,not your’s.leave now.You have ten second’s starting now.Ten,nine,eight,seven,six,five,four,three,two one.She finished when her mum was gone.

The next thing on Jessica’s list was dancing in my room.The music came from my radio.We went into my room once again and I turned on my radio and put in a CD we liked to dance to.Our dancing time is up!I said at 12.15.

We went back to check what was on the list.But as soon as we saw my mum ,it looked like she was  made of sweet’s!!!I finally said:We have to fix this!So we thought and we thought and we thought.But nothing came to our head’s.We looked around the house.And when we came to the table,we saw the food.It looked like it was glowing to us.

So there was our thought.We opened the packet’s and scoffed everything,even the crums. It only took us five minutes and we have finished two large packets of chips and one whole packet of m&m afghan’s!

Mum,I fell sick.I said in a moaning voice.Go and watch a movie with Jessica then.That should calm you down.Mum said.Have you seen the movie Paranorman?No.Jessica replied.So we watched and watched through the whole thing.

I went to mum and gave her a hug while saying:That made me fell much better.But I fell like i’m going to vomite. She said.Go watch a movie then.I said firmly.

After that,We HAD to do our dance.But as we walked closer to my room with curios look’s on our faces,we herd a sound that went like this: Shake it of, shake it of, of of.Oh shake it of,shake it of,of of.It was the voice of Talor Swift.We carefully opened the door and….Leila and Ollie were dancing!Leila was doing the lawn mower and Ollie was cutely(for a three year old)was doing the sprinkler!Me and Jessica have seen lot’s of weird things lately so all we did was join in and have a load of fun.

                                      The End

So that was my iProud. Hope you enjoyed!

I hope you liked my post.I see you next time!
P.S:I am having other writing ideas like this on other iProud's for my blog!
