Hello, and welcome to another blog-post from your's truely! To start off, I'd like to say a huge happy samoan 🇼🇸 language week to ya'll. If your new to this NZ does likes to keep cultures alive by celebrating them in different dates. This week it's Samoan language week!
To celebrate Samoan language week we decided to connect our weekly korero with this weeks language week. This weeks korero is Say it properly, Please! A lot of different cultures have names that not everyone is famalliar with. So, always be aware of peoples names because when you say it wrong they can feel a little bit hurt inside. Always ask the person how to pronounce there name first and then you will know. I hope you take this korero and put it onto practice! Happy Samoan Language Week 🇼🇸

On the Dinosaur Trail ~ INFO WEB POSTER 🦕
WALT: condense and paraphrase key ideas in a text
Task Description: For my final task, I was told to create a Information Web Poster. This is a poster that has information about something you have been focusing on. I did exactly the thing for this task. This week we are reading a new book called On the Dinosaur Trail. After reading the book and going over it I have picked up some facts from the book and I have established those facts into this poster above. I had four facts to share with everyone about the book and I found these facts very intersting! I hope you enjoyed this blog post and remember to stay tuned for more.
On the Dinosaur Trail ~ Review 🦕
Walt: condense and paraphrase key ideas in a text.
Tittle: On the Dinosaur Trail
Written By: Sue Gibbision
Genre: Non - Fiction (Real)
In this Non - Fiction story, there is a man named Dr Browne who has discovered a mystery footprint down in the Whanganui inlet, New Zealand. Dr Browne knew this was a footprint by an animal of somewhat. That was Dr Browne's mission! He questioned himself a lot and did a lot of reaserch on the mysterious print and ended with an answer; A Dinosaur?! Dr Browne was confident in his theorie and had back up information to prove it. But to expose his theorie to the world he had to go through what sciencetists call a "peer review". In this review the sciencetists agreed with Dr Browne's statement which allowed him to expose his theorie.
For someone like be who doesn't really like or learn much about dinosaurs, I quite liked this little book. I enjoyed reading the different facts in the book which encouraged me to learn more facts about dinosaurs. The bit that surprised me is that the footprint was found here in NZ 🦕! I have never heard of any Dinosaur foot print findings in New Zealand. My favorite fact I learnt was that the the whole world used to be one continet and then split up and that New Zealand used to be called Zelandia.
After reading the text, I think that this book can be reccomend for students for Year 6 and up. I think this because the language would be more sutiable for the ages which will help them understand it more. This is also a good book because at this age children are starting to look at their future and what they want to be therefore, this book would be a great fit for those who are looking for a job of a sciencetists or a palentologists!

Task Description: Part of our tasks for this week is to write a review about the book called On the Dinosaur Trail that we have read and also have watched. For this task we had to write a review explaining what is going on in the book, what we enjoyed about it, a key message or a fact and who would we reccomend this book to. These were all required in the review. I enjoyed reading this book and I hope we dig in to more reaserch about dinosaurs.

The Grateful Crane - Retold By Amelia
WALT: make connections between a text, ourselves and the world
Task Description: If you have read the previous blog-post that you know about this folk tale. If not please read that in order for you to understand this. After completing the previous task the next one was to retell the story of the Grateful Crane in our own words. I find retelling stories hard because I always stick to one part of a story more than another and it just makes the story longer. That's why you it's very long! I used google drawing to re-write the story of the grateful crane. I hope you enjoy this task and reading the retold story the Japanese folk tale grateful crane.
The Grateful Crane - Reading
Walt: Interpret figurative language
Task Description: Today is Friday so I figured to do more finishing off work. This work is from a the first week and right now I am feeling happy to post this :) This weeks reading is based on a interesting Japanese folk tale. There were two versions of the tale one movie and one in text. After watching the video or reading the text we were then given this presentation to test our knowledge on this folk tale. I learnt a good message from this tale and I recommend it to a whole lot of people.
