Samoan Language Week

This is week Samoan Language Week and I have learned so many facts about this wonderful language, their culture and how they have maintained their language. Most languages in NZ are starting to die out which is making people forget about their heritage. It is important to hold onto your language so that younger generations can know where they came from. In NZ they should let different languages be apart of a students school day.      

Introduction to Science

For this term, we have had an Introduction to Science and in this introduction, we learned about things such as :

•  Layers of the Earth - which was about the inside of the Earth, I learned different types of facts such as the inner core is the hottest layer out of the rest of the layers. We also learned about the three other layers of the Earth. 
• Plate Tectonics - in plate tectonics we learned about how tectonic plates move, they move in three different boundaries such as Transform Boundary, Convergent Boundary & Divergent Boundary.    
• Volcanoes - we learned about how the different layers under the volcanic crust of the Volcanoes and how it erupts. 

What Makes Up A Community

In Social Science, my group and I created this presentation about what makes a community. In this presentation, we brainstorm all the ideas about what makes a community. One of the ideas we came up with was that a community is "A place where people live and a place where people meet new people and make new friends. In every community, there are places like local shops such as Parks, Libraries, Townships, Doctors, and Barbers which all provide services to your community. In my community, there are places such as dairies, real estate dealerships, parks, and libraries. 

History Of Te Reo Maori

The History of New Zealand 

In New Zealand, the indigenous language is Te Reo Maori spoken by the indigenous people of Aotearoa but during the 1900s the langue was starting to dying out.
In schools, Te Reo Maori was banned as a language taught in classes because New Zealanders had gotten a mistaken idea by thinking that European history was more important then Maori history. This was because of the most the indigenous people moved to the countrysides and cities which made people forget their original roots. Now attitudes have changed and now people are fond of the culture and history and now Te Reo Maori is proudly taught in New Zealand schools.

This summary is about the history of Te Reo Maori and how it was about to die out because of the Maori people remembering how they are and where they come from. I learned so much about culture and history.
