Pepeha

Pepeha
Ko Apia te motu
Ko Fuipusia Falls te awa
Ko Taele toku whaea
Ko Logoailao toku matua tane
Ko Samoa Cannons Creek te whare karakia
No Vaitele Fou ahau
Ko Corinna School toku kura
Ko Miss Gibbs, Ko Kate Collins and Miss Ardelle toku kaiako
Ko Miss Whiting te tumuaki
Ko Leitoria toku ingoa
When I’m learning my pepeha it was really hard for me to learn the maori words because when I first start this pepeha I thought to myself that maybe I should keep practising until I get it.

I really get what karakia and tumuaki means. Karakia means service and Tumuaki means principal but all of the other maori words are hard.

POLYFEST LEARNING STORY The Success Criteria that I have achieved was Performing with confidence and flair for the audience because as soon as my group was on stage I felt butterflies in my tummy, but then as soon as I stood up and danced I felt more confident. My next Success Criteria that I have also achieved was sharing my skills by teaching others the dance move because they needed help by following the actions carefully and they don’t messed up. As soon I take my first foot on the stage step I was feeling proud and I’m smiling hard out like my face is going to crack.                                                  The Success Criteria that I have achieved was Performing with confidence and flair for the audience because as soon...

                                Taonga                         Tuiga and Conch It has lots of feathers, pearls, shells, mirror and some sharks teeth. My Grandpa gave to me when I was a little girl. I care for what the Tuiga and the Conch that my Grandpa gave to me because it belongs to me and my family. It was long time ago he use to gave to me when I was 7 years old. When I was turning 9 I lost it it I really missed the Tuiga but not the conch because it not lost or breaking. I had lots of trouble with it but I still care for it. When I was 11 I still remember it when my Grandpa died because he fall from the ladder when he try to get some delicious mango so we took him to the hospital we were to late but I still remember him and I still care for him for what he has done for me and my whole family.
