P.E

Kia Ora everyone, 

Today I will be talking  about PE that is on every Wednesday and Thursday. I've learnt many skills and really enjoyed it. 

Fitness: 

For the first week, we did fitness. We were doing exercises and stretches. We did push up, burpees and alot of running. We also tried doing the beep test. Beep test is when you have to run when you hear the beep and you must make it to the line, the beep gets faster and faster, if you don't make it in to the line, you're out, or if you get tired and you can't run anymore, you're also out. I don't think I did pretty well on the beep test because I got tired easily. 

Football: 

The second week we did Football for 2 weeks. I honestly have no experience in playing football so I had no idea how to play it. First thing we did was getting into pairs and did the passing. We also played a game, when we had to verse other teams. For me, it was a little hard for me to keep track of the soccer ball in the middle of the game. 

Hockey:

We also had 2 weeks of playing this sport. I've been playing hockey since I was in year 6, I know most of the rules so I was able to play it properly. Among the sports we've played, I really enjoyed this one. I'm working on passing the hockey ball across the field instead of passing it in the middle of the field where everyone goes for it. 

Volleyball: 

We had volleyball last week and this week. I'm currently working on setting the ball instead of bumping it all the time. But I think I did good when serving the ball. 

I'm looking forward for netball next week. 

Thank you for taking time to read my blog, that's all for now, goodbye!

The Aotearoa History

Kia kotou Katoa everyone!

Welcome back to my blog. Today's blog is going to be about The Aotearoa history. In hurumanu 1, we have been watching a video about the Aotearoa history. But this time, we have to blog it. 

Have you ever wonder how the New Zealand war started? Well, I cant put all of the information, but this all what I found.

We watched a video about the Aotearoa history, while the video is playing, we have to write everything what we heard in the video. We have to take notes of what happened on the video. And then we have to write a summary about the video. 

Here is the video that we watched (This video is in Youtube) : 

Here are the notes that I heard in the video:

Notes:

• British said something to the queen about how Maori take over their lands. And the queen immediately believed them so they teamed up with the British. But little did the queen know, it was all a lie. British people made it up. 
• They fighted because of the land
• In 1862, Te ua became a profit.
• They think someone is spying on them. 
• British try and want to have the Maori’s lands so they can control Maori people. 
• Europeans killed two Maori boys.
• Maori killed a British man that were spying on them.
• Maori fought with other Maori
• A guy said he was eating a human flesh
• They are worried that there will be a serious threat
• British thought that Pai rara supporters that they were against them
• Te Kute attacked British village
• British took a revenge from Te kute for attacking their village
• 3000 people died, and 2000 of those people were Maori
• In 1872, the war stopped
• They were worried about the cultural damage between the two countries. And also between the connection of their lands. 

And here is the summary about the video that I wrote:

Summary:

The war started because of the land. British people want to take the Maori’s land, they also want to control Maori. But Maori didn’t let them take their lands. In 1862, Te ua became profit. He wants Maori to own the land. Te Toku Ware is a new PM leaders. Maori somehow thought that some British people were spying at them. Maori killed some British people because they caught him spying  on them. In 1865 was the battle. They fought because of the land. 1868 was the scariest year for them.

Maori ended up fighting another Maori people. A British guy said he was eating a human flesh to scare the Maori people. When the British attacked the Maori people, Maori found a way on how to trick them. European killed two Maori boys that had no defence. Te Kute attacked the village called Mata piro and 60 people were killed. He attacked Mata Piro. But of course, the British people won’t let them win, so the British people attacked them to take revenge for what Te kute did. British people killed almost  120 people, but Te Kute didn’t die, he escaped from them. 

After that day, Te Kute apologised to those Maori people who were harmed and got involved in what he did. In 1872, the war finally stopped. Maori said it not because the land was taken, it was because after the land was taken from them. Maori weren’t sad just because they lost houses, it’s because of their special connection with the land, for those people who died from the war and because of their cultural damage from both countries. 

Thank you for reading my blog. I hope you learn something new. Please give me some helpful, thoughtful and a positive feedback, bye!
