Day 3 Activity 2 Acknowledging Ancestors

Day 3 Activity 2 Acknowledging Ancestors

All of us are members of a family. Some of us have large families and some of us have very small families. When I have the opportunity to talk about my family and my ancestry I sometimes choose to use a pepeha. It is a very special way of identifying who I am and where I come from. There are many different versions of pepeha but most provide people with information about who you are and where you come from (i.e. your whakapapa). Use the template provided below to prepare your own unique pepeha. If you need help please watch this short movie clip on preparing a pepeha.

Day 3 It's All In The Family

Day 3 It's All In The Family Activity 1 The More, The Merrier?

In the 1800s, most families were pretty big. In fact, many parents had an average of seven to nine children.  Imagine that you were a child in the 1800s and you had nine siblings.

On your blog, please tell us how you would feel. Would you enjoy being a member of such a large family? Why or why not?

I would love to have a big family because I feel safe. My nana and papa have a really big family. My nana has 6 brothers and 6 sisters. My papa has 6 brothers and 1 sister. My dad has a big family too he has 6 sisters and 1 brother but my mums family is small she has 1 brother and 1 sister just like me. I have 1 little brother named Ehmarze he's 7 years old and 1 baby sister named Shiloh-Hope she is 3 months old. Sometimes it's not good because me and my brother fight sometimes but I still love him and I think when we are older we will help eachother and protect eachother and our baby sister and when we are older we can all help take care of our parents just like how my mum and dad take care of my nana and papa.

Day 2 Bonus Activity Special Meals

Day 2 Bonus Activity Special Meals

Back in the 1800s, most Māori ate a simple diet. They ate foods that they could catch in the water (eg. fish) or grow on the land (eg. kumara). They did not have access to a supermarket to buy food for their meals! Speaking of meals, what is your favourite meal? Mine is wood-fired pizza. Yum!

On your blog, post a picture of your favourite meal. Be sure to tell us what it is and why it is your favourite. You could also include the recipe if you have it so that we can all try it!

FALAI PISUPO

This is one of my favourite home made meals. Its quick and easy to make at home.

I love how my dad makes it yummy. I like the smell when hes cooking too. Its a samoan meal called falai pisupo but anyone can make it. Down the bottom is a recipe. Thanks and bye!

RECIPE

Boil water and make noodles. Set to side

Cut onions and fry in pan.

Once brown add the corn beef, noodles and you can add mixed vegetables if you like but I like it with just the noodles. I lie to eat it with rice too but my brother likes eating it with bread and sometimes my nana and papa eat it with taro but you can eat it with anything you want. Enjoy

Day 2 Activity 2 The Rues of Engagement/Dream Job

Day 2 Activity 2 The Rules of Engagement/Dream Job

During the early years in New Zealand, men and women would often marry at a young age. Women were expected to have babies and remain in the home caring for their children. Few, if any, left home in search of work. Men, on the other hand, were expected to work outside of the home.

These days, we don’t have the same strict expectations about work. Girls and boys can choose their own path in life. In fact, I was lucky enough to go to university and to follow my dream of becoming a teacher!

What is your dream job? Draw a picture of yourself doing your dream job and post it on your blog. You could be a doctor, an actor or even a zookeeper! I have drawn myself taking a picture of a beautiful castle in Poland because I would love to become a travel blogger and photographer one day.
