I am glad to now be in a safe country and that there are no more wars between New Zealand and another countries. I am sad for the solider who died but they will always be remembered.

I am sad for the solider who died but they will always be remembered. I robustly believe that it is shocking how woman in Saudi Arabia aren't able to vote. Woman should not be undermined and should be able to voice their opinion as the men do. Women are capable of making decisions and should be treated equally.

1. Te Puku o Te Ika is first because although they did not have a variety things you could see the passion that went into the song. Also they sung the song in remembrance of someone which made it even more special.

2. I placed Te Iti Kahurangi second because of the great vocals they had and the harmonies was fantastic. They also had a variety of formations.

3. Third is Tamatea Arikinui because although they done the poi I found there harmonizing and vocals weren't as good as the other  groups but they still done an amazing job.

The waiata I like the most is Aotearoa by Stan Waler ft Ria Hall, Troy Kingi and Maisey Rika. I like this song because it is about connecting back where you came from and to be proud of your culture.

My House vs Wharepuni

Similarities
- Timber is also used in my home.
- Both buildings have been built for similar purposes.

Differences
- We store food, eat and sleep in the same building unlike the Māori who would sleep in a separate building for the food.
- Ferns and bark are used on the roof of the wharepuni and we use man made materials that are more modern.

I do think I would like to be in a Waka Ama Race because I would build up a lot of strength. also it would take a lot of hard training (which would be good for me) for me to be able to race. Most importantly it would be fun! using the waka would be so cool because we are still able to experience what the Māori had to go through to travel here to New Zealand.

Dear Aleece,

I am glad to say I have successfully landed on the land of an island. over the eight mouth journey many people of the iwi did not survive. For most of the time we had spent on the te moana was laborious.


As we rowed our way along the te moana we came across an unexpected guest. Tangaroa! For we did not say a karakia before we set off for this journey. Most of the iwi had been eaten by Tangaroa himself but not me. Luckily I was able to scare Tangroa away with my sacred bone that my grandpa gave me.

I am glad to be one of the first settlers on the unknown island that is yet to be discovered. Please stay safe along your treacherous journey to this mysterious island. I will hopefully see you in a couple of mouths.

Kind regards
Greanne
