William Pike Beach Cookout

In the morning on April the 3 2019 in autumn our class (room 1) and room 8 went down to
the Karoro beach down by the tasman sea along with some of our parents and teachers.
In my group where Lincoln, Daniel, Billie and Hannah the group leader Craig Terry (my Dad)
We made our campfire down by the Watson Creek.

We Made a stick pyramid shaped fire. While Daniel and I were getting the fire ready the rest
where getting the food ready. We waited tall the fire burn down then got some simple
spaghetti into the pan for the fire to cook. While the spaghetti was cooking we were getting
the banana split and the baked potato ready. The spaghetti didn't take long at all to cook just
right so we had it quite early. The way I had my Baked potato was scrumptious: Get the hole
potato and cut rather big splits in it (leave the skin on the potato), Then cover it with tin foil.
If you don’t have a grate put it beside the fire. Leave it for about 15 minutes. If you want it
crispy you can check it every 5 minutes. After that you open the tin foil and you can put
sauces and butter on it but I didn’t. And there were no plates so I just used a cup.
By the time we had all eaten all our baked potato the banana split was ready. Raw sugar
on a banana with hershey's chocolate sauce after we cooked it.

Our Marae Trip

                       Our Marae Trip

On the 5th of March our class and room 8 went on a trip to our local Marae in
Arahura. It was fun learning about all the different stories during that time.
On that morning Charlie and Nathan J and I were driven down to the Marae
by my mum. All of us got our groups ready to go down to the Marae.
We headed off to the car we were taking, packed our gear and off we went.

Firstly

It took about 25 minutes to get down to the marae. Just before the intersection
in Arahura we turn left up in to the old Christchurch road. The car trip was
boring but we were excited when we got there. We unpacked the car and
waited for the others. When we all got there we entered around the main
gates then the powhiri process started.

The Powhiri Process

As we enter the gates the Tangata whenua called the greeting and then
Miss Ireland called back because is  after that we got welcome onto the
marae and we all sat down into the seats in side the marae and we sang
honore. After we done the Powhiri process we had to do the hongi (The
hongi is when you touch foreheads and sometimes noses) then we had
morning tea. After morning tea we went back into the meeting house and we
said all of our mihi’s (our self greeting).

This is one of the things we did on the marae trip in Arahura.
I personally liked the marae trip because it was excited and fun.

Marae Stop Motion Animation

In Ruma Tahi we have been learning about maraes and the traditional things to do at maraes.  I learnt who manuhiri are and this is my stop motion animation explaining this.

Stop Motion Animation

This animation is my first stop motion animation. It took 27 slides to do this. The hardest part was making the tree snap in half because I had to copy and paste the tree then crop both of them, then placed them where I wanted them to be.  I hoped you enjoy my animation.
