Maori blog.

this week we made a Google doc about Maori names.                                                                    

 First I had to go on Maori dictionary and translate  the Maori and put it on the column on the google doc.

Secondly we had match the Maori names with the English ones.

Lastly we had to show the Maori teacher what we done, and blog about it.

 Different types of shelters can keep people safe by using the correct materials depending on what disaster they are being protected from. 

When building a shelter, measuring the amount of materials being used is important so it keeps it balanced. 

An example of materials used for a tsunami shelter are concrete, chicken wire, metal ties, aluminum, Popsicle sticks, steel door, and hard clear plastic. 

Using chicken wire is good for putting in the concrete so it can connect it to the other sides. 

Hard clear plastic can be used for the windows because it doesn’t break easily like glass and because it's transparent which allows people to see what's happening on the outside.

Popsicle sticks are good for supporting the force of the impact. This material can also be used to anchor the shelter into the ground so it doesn’t tip over. The properties of wood are the shape that has been made. 

Not every material can support every natural disaster. Different types of shelters can keep people safe by using the correct materials depending on what disaster they are being protected from.

The duffy theater

Today we watched a  performance by duffy theater group about the coggen. a coggen is an mythical creature that was a mixture of a Cat,dog and a chicken. 

Before the story story started they introduced themselves. 

Then we sang the Duffy song. 

Then the actors preformed for us. 

Lastly the duffy group held a question and answer session. I thought the performance was really fun  but I was disappointed that my class did not ask anymore intelligent questions.
