Paul Bunyan

 Good morning, This term's animation was about myths and legends so I picked Paul Bunyan. Sorry I didn't get to finish my animation, But I can explain some of the story, On one cold night Paul Bunyan went out to the wood,He cut down some trees till he heard some loud sounds coming from all the snow. He walked closer and closer to the sound till he stepped on something, He looked under his foot and saw a big blue ox, He didn't know what to do with it so he walked near a fire and put the ox on it till it unfreeze. Once it was warm again he always played with him, walked with him and all sorts of stuff that a owner would do, named it babe. They walked for a really long time, they both had big feet so they left some foot steps. So that's how The Great Lakes got the name ( from there big foot steps). Thank you for taking your time out of your day to come look at my blog :) Next's term i'll finish off my animation so I can show you it.

Maori Language Moment

In 1972 there were 30,000 signatures were delivered to parliament to safe guard the Maori language  

Safe guard means (protect) the Maori language need to be protected.

3 reasons why I think needed to be protected.

1. The language might fade away

2. It can still be used in the future

3. In schools Te Reo Maori wasn't valued as much 

Kia Kaha Te Reo Maori  

Traditional Tongan cooking

Today Rm 5 are finding some interesting things from Tonga (my Home Land )

Tongan people cook their food underneath the ground it's called a (umu) we eat all sorts of food taro,

coconut, horse... , pork , keke (tongan donuts, faikakai, Ufi Lolo i, Lu sipi, Raw fish, Otai ( a drink )

 Umu is mainly like an underground oven that cooks heaps of yummy food.

Tongans use taro leaves, rocks, fire, much to make umus

they wrap the food into taro leaves and tin foil. After they wrap them all up the put the food underneath the

ground and cover it with all the leave. After its cooked they unwrap the food and say the lotu (the prayer)

and then eat it.
