Waka Tete

 For the past day my group Ruby, Tui, Tk, Kahukura, and my self have been researching about the waka Tete. We had to find out what it was made out of, how many people could fit into it, and what tools people used to make the waka Tete.

What I found a little hard was trying to find the image of the tools that were used to make the waka Tete. What I found easy was the research cause when I would search it it would just pop up so yeah thats what I thought was easy.

Tupaia And Captain Cook

 Today we have been doing research about Tupaia and Captain Cook. The first thing we had to search up was, who was the most famous navigator in New Zealand, Captain Cook or Tupaia. There weren't  really an answer so its pretty much based on your a pinion. We had to make a slide and search up facts about Tupaia and Captain Cook. I really liked researching about Tupaia and Captain Cook because I liked learning new things.

Do you guys think you could do a research about Tupaia and Captain cook?

Kapehu Whetu [Star Compost]

 This term we have been working on voyages, earlier in the term we had to do tasks and put it on docs and slides, and stuff. We also learnt how Maori got to New Zealand. We learnt that Maori used a Kapehu Whetu [Star Compost] to find there way to New Zealand going through the pacific ocean. After that we had to go on a google drawing and make a strar compost. My favorite part about learning about the star compost was learning new things about the star compost.

History Of The South Island.

 This week we have been learning about the history of the South island, we had to go in pairs of two so I went with T.K. We had to choose what we were going to research about, out of Rakaihautu, Tuhaitara, Rakaitauheke, and Tutekawa. Myself and T.K picked Rakaihautu. After we got our chromebooks we started researching, what tupuna is Rakaihautu well known for. And what iwi is Rakaihautu affiliated to, and the last question was what stories or waiata were written about Rakaihautu. So we researched all that up and then put it on a slide. I really liked the researching because it was good to learn new stuff I didnt know.
