Term 1 Week 7

                                    Term 1 Week 7
Over the last week in Room 20 in writing we have been learning to write a explanation.  We wrote the explanation kinda based on the story we are reading called The Whale Rider.  Some people wrote Why Females Are Always At The Back In The Maori Culture, Why Men Are Always At The Front, Gender Roles In Maori Culture etc. But they were all based on the same sort of idea.  I wrote Why Females Are Always At The Back and I just wrote the reasons. If you do wonder then it is because the males want to protect the females and because they want to respect the females.


On Thursdays we have a Maori lesson and we get taught some sentences.  We have been learning to ask this:

"Ko wai ahau?" said ____
"Ko ____ ahau" said ____
"Ko ____ tenei" said____
"Ko____  tena" said____
