The Practical joke about the missing teeth - Tyrah

I have been learning about how this story is all just a practical joke on a tackle shop owner. The couple in this story had tricked him about his missing false teeth. When I share this to my blog, it helps me understand more about what is happening in the story and what I have learnt.

This story was a little bit tricky because I kind of didn’t understand the story at first. But as I read the story a lot and got help from my family, I started to understand it more.

 

The Tree hut treaty

L.I - Respond to the "The Tree Hut Treaty" by explaining our feelings.

Today we read a story about "The Tree Hut Treaty". It was written by Wiremu Grace.The characters names are Tia, Jake, Crystal and Manaia. This was a very interesting story because it was about Jake and Manaia arguing about how the Tree hut was small and everybody who wanted to come in, they wouldn't fit. So Tia made some rules for everyone who wanted to come to the Tree hut and for Jake and Manaia to stop fighting. One of them was 1."We all have to come with an agreement of what happens to the Tree hut".
2."We have to look after the Tree hut treaty". 3."If there are any fights about the hut, then the Tree hut team will decide what to do so that its fair for everyone".

Waka - By Tyrah

Learning Intention: W.A.L.T- write instructions how to make a Waka.
Success Criteria: I am successful when I can follow the  instructions how to make a Waka.



Instructions how to make a paper waka: 1.) - Break off a dry flax stalk.
2.) - Get the adult to help you cut the stalk into two sticks about 20 cm long. Shape the ends of the sticks into points. These are your Waka.
3.) - Join your Waka together with one of the 18 cm pieces of wire. Push one end of the wire through Waka 5 cm from the end. Wrap the wire around  the Waka so that it's attached firmly.
4.) - Now stretch the wire so that it's straight and push the other end of it through your other Waka 5 cm from it's end. Wrap it around the Waka to make it secure. (You should end up with a straight 10 cm of wire between each Waka.)
5.) - Use the other piece of 18 cm wire in the same way to join the Waka at their other ends.
6.) - Bend the 36 cm length of wire into a V shape for the sail.
7.) - Trace the shape of your sail onto the cardboard. Cut out the shape, decorate it, and tape it to the wire.
8.) - Stick one end of your sail into each Waka.
9.) - Test your Waka.
10.) - Think of some ideas for how you can make your Waka better.
