Mr Tele'a tatau

Our extension group has been researching the pacific to give us a better understanding of there meaning. I learnt a few new things about the tatau and how it show's what role you have in the family. I also learnt new words like the word va'a which means canoe in the samoan language. In our last extension session Mr Tele'a attended so we could see a tatau in real life so we could make examinations.



In our last extension session Mr Tele'a attended so we could see a tatau in real life so we could make examinations. I found it very interesting on what we were shown, It had incredible detail and structure. Mr tele'a mentioned that the last and most memorable part of the tattoo was the belly button.




The stage I am up to in my project would be creating my tattoo. I have almost finished my tattoo design. I think the finished design will look really good.

Isara and Jacob Fat Piggie

Once upon a time, there was a fat pig called Mr Bing.

He lived in a stinky sty in the zoo with piglings.He was able to fly although no one even knew.

But the zoo keepers would give him bad food which would made him do a runny poo.

He was very embarrassed about his problem ,so he flew away and became baalim.

He met a female goddess named Pigthena and had all the food that you could ask for. The End.

Jet boat ride

Last Friday I was so excited because we were going to a jet boat ride. I went with my brother and my mum into the city. It was my brother and I who went on a jet boat ride.
Before we got to hop into we had to put on long black rain coat so we didn’t get really wet and a life jacket the life jacket was an inflatable type when you pull the tab.
We finally drove we had to drive out at 20 km because we were still by the dock and then we went at 125 km.The guy that was driving the boat was doing fast turns and water would splash all over the passengers.We went under the Harbor bridge and the driver would tell us about the stuff we went to.He took us near the Chelsea factory.
”This is fun” I yelled.

Rollerblading

Confidently I was gliding past people. I was a speed machine swivelling/turning/spinning
skilfully swerving.I felt the breeze flowing through my hair it felt chilly. I soared threw the cold wind.I was thirsty so I went to the tap in the bathroom I thought to my self maybe I shouldn't have drunk from that tap. I slipped over in the bathroom it was funny. I whizzed out of the bathroom into the skating rink.The manager came out and said, "Who would like to do a beginners race out of the boys," because the girls had had their turns .In the race my position was 3rd to last
