A special place in the community

A special place in the community.

For the past few weeks my class has been learning on why
marae are so special so we can practice for our test the next week.
I found this topic a bit hard because I don't really know anything
about marae. Because I've spent most of my life in Australia.

A marae is a special place to the community because you learn about your

Tikanga and kawa .The marae should be used as a heart for the community

every time you go to the marae You  learn about your whakapapa and

tupuna also connections.A marae holds all your ancestors history in a

marae it is a place you can hold celebration tangi and more.And a place

you can call home.

At a marae everyone should know to show tikanga while the kaumatua is

speaking.You get taught from a young age not to jump on the pillows and

mattress while the kaumatua and kuia are out of the room.Everyone knows

when they get in the marae they need to show respect. You also need to 

show real good manners when you are around the kaumatua because it

shows him who you are.It is so disrespectful to walk and talk while the

kaumatua is doing his mihi. 

A special  part of a marae is that you learn about your whakapapa and tupuna.

You can hear the kaumatua telling you about your waka,roto,awa,hapu,marae and
maunga.And how it relates to you and your family everywhere you go you

know who you are and where you were raised.And know matter what you

always have a place you can call home.  

Sooner or later you will learn about your family connection when you walk

into a marae it automatically shows where your from.Because the art in the

marae shows a hole story of how your family connected.A marae hold all of

your history from your ancestors and how they connected with our family.

To sum it all up a marae shows you  your whakapapa how you connect to your

family and last but not least your tikanga and kawa.Every maori should know

where there from and how they connect with their family.you Start knowing

who you are from such a very young age.

post of the week

Alliteration

writting

Adrenaline coursed through my veins. Cold air bit into my lungs. Lungs that felt like they were on fire. My calves were starting to burn. I was so focused on keeping my breathing steady, that I didn’t quite recognize where the hell I was. I pushed forward, scrambling up a steep incline, my breath started to come in short gasps.I decided to take the right turn and as I turned the corner there was a big and creepy bridge I start to think if I should run through the bridge but it got a bit suspicious because know kids were nowhere to be seen then suddenly I hear something walking around I yell out.

Comment of the Week!

Kia Ora my name is Mele, and I am a year 8 student at Tautoro School. I just want to say how amazing this piece of writing is and how descriptive it is in your'e writing.What i really enjoy about this post is how you described yourself while doing army skills and drills. One thing that stood out to me was the fact that you stated how it gives you strength, how it gives you energy, how it teaches you discipline and how it teaches you respect. nothing in this post is negative so overall, ka pai! Anyways, blog you later

Children shouldn't get money from doing chores

Children shouldn't get money when they do chores. Firstly 1.the parents are already doing you a huge favor and that is providing you food and a house to live in. Secondly 2.if you made the mess it's your responsibility to clean it up

The world is constantly changing, so too is technology.  In order to keep up with the times, students should have instant access to important and essential information.  I strongly believe that kids should have a mobile phone. My reasons for this are simple: Firstly, cell phones keep you safe.  At the touch of a button, you have instant access to the web and social media sites and finally cell phones can help you create memories.
