WALT: persuade an audience about Should We Have A Gala Day Every Year.
Persuasive writing
Should We Have A Gala Day Every Year?
`
FOR:
|
AGAINST:

Firstly, I think we should have a gala every year because it’s fun and exciting. If we didn’t have a gala day each year we won’t be able to fundraise to go on trip and camps. Even though it cost heaps to get all the ingredients and other things it’s still worth fundraising for.
Secondly, I believe that if we have a gala day each year I reckon we would make a lot of money and fundraise to go on trips and camps.
Thirdly, I think we should have a gala day every year because we get to have yummy foods and have fun activities, you also get to spend time with your family and friends.
Lastly, having a gala day every year I think is fun, it teaches us how to fundraise for trip and camps and can also help us get ready to prepare a job in the future. Gala days are exciting and entertaining.

WALT: convince Nicholas that Family is more important than Money.
Family is more important than Money.
Dear Nicholas, i’ve heard that you have created a machine that turns your memories into gold so I am writing this letter to you because I think that family is more important than money.
Firstly, I believe that family is more important than money because family is the single most important influence in a child's life. From their first moments in life, children depend on parents and family to protect them and provide for their needs. Parents and families are also important because they are the first form of a child's first relationship.
Having lots of gold may make you feel secure and live a comfortable lifestyle can unquestionably contribute to your overall sense of well-being, but it can't compare to having a close connection with the people you love the most. If you don't pay enough attention to your family it can lower your quality of life, but if you pay too much attention to your machine that turns you memories into gold it can really damage your relationship with your family because you lose out on time and connections with them.

This is a paragraph of a story we read. We had to translate the paragraph that was Maori into English.
Te Tino Potae o Papa
Page 10:
Maori:
Ka kōrero a Mere,” Titiro atu, e Mā. Kei te whakaatu
Ngā tamariki i ō rātou kākahu ināianei.”
Ka kī a Māmā, “ Te pai hoki o ngā kākahu. Arā, titiro!
He kau miraka tērā, he mango tērā. Mīharo ana te
Kite atu.”
Translated in English:
Mere says, "Look, sir. It is displayed
Children are dressed in their clothes right now. "
Mom said, "It's nice to dress too. Well, look!
It's milk, that's the same mango. It's amazing
See it. "
Children are dressed in their clothes right now. "
Mom said, "It's nice to dress too. Well, look!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENTS BETWEEN A TANGI HANGA AND A KAWEMATE?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
By Keila
Questions:
|
(Tangi hanga)
Google Meaning: The Tangihanga is the enduring of Māori ceremony for mourning someone who has died. It is commonly called a tangi, which also means to weep, and to sing a dirge (a lament for the dead).
My Understanding: My understanding of Tangi hanga is to mourn or cry for the death of a loved one.
|
(Kawemate)
Google Meaning: Mourning ceremony at another marae subsequent to the tangihanga and burial - relatives of the deceased, especially someone of importance, visit as a group the marae of communities. The kawemate is often at the community's request.
My Understanding: My Understanding of kawemate is the non- burial part of the tangi.
|
Why?
|
Moemoe… betrothal ceremony
|
To bring a photo of Whaea Dawnette to the school.
|
When?
|
On a Saturday night 19/8/2017, and the whole school went to the Marae on Monday 21/8/2017.
|
Monday 4/9/2017 at 8.30am.
|
How?
|
I felt sad.
|
I felt sad as well, but it was my first time at a Kawe mate so I didn’t really know what it meant.1
|
`
|
In Awarua laying at Te Huruhi Marae.
|
In the Tautoro School library.
|
What?
|
The difference was that when you're at the Marae we get welcomed in which is the calling of the people/Manuhiri.
|
And when Whaea Dawnettes family came to our school they got welcomed into the school and they also say a different karanga.

This is my letter to Matua Sam about Whaea Dawnette.
Dear Matua Sam,
I am so sad to hear about your loss of Whaea Dawnette.
I knew that she was ill and just returned out of hospital, but I didn’t realize she had so little time left.
Whaea Dawnette was such a fantastic Admin and I am going to miss her sitting in the office.
Whaea Dawnette was uplifting, kind and loving to everyone around her.
It is really heartbreaking not getting to see her everyday now.
Everytime I walk into the office I always picture her sitting in the office.
Keila Emile.
