Sad video but what I found out

I also found out that a treaty is an agreement that has been signed by two sides

I would like to see the treaty in real life

Te Reo, Term 4 2016.

This term we have been learning all about the Marae. We have learned that…….

• The Marae is an important focal point for the community.
• The Marea is a place where tradition and customs can be carried out.
• The Marae is a place where people can express their values with dignity.
• There are many kawa ( protocols) that prevail on the marae.
• Marae kawa (protocols) can differ between maraes and iwi.

We have focussed on some key concepts when doing this learning.

These are listed and explained in the table below.

Concept	Definition - give the meaning of these concepts in your own words.
Tikanga	This means custom, culture, manner and the māori way of doing things.
Pōwhiri	This means a welcoming ceremony on a marae.
Tangata whenua	This means local people that are connected to the marae.
Manuhiri	This means visitors to a marae.
Tūrangawaewae	This means one of the most well-known and powerful māori concepts.
Whanaungatanga	This means sense of family connection.
Manaakitanga	This means respect given to elders.
Aroha	This can mean respect and the process of giving.

See this video for an explanation of the roles and responsibilities of people on a marae.

Something I would like to learn more about the marae is……... I would like to experience the feeling at a marae.

Kapa Haka Distinction post #1

Today we didn't have Kapa Haka because it was a public holiday. Overall this year in Kapa Haka I think that I have done really well because I have learnt a lot of songs and I have listed really well so I know all the actions to the songs that we have learnt. The care value that I think overall I have down well in is respect because I have been respecting the teachers when they were talking to us so I wasn't talking to anyone around me, I have also been showing leadership at Kapa Haka by being a role model to others and not being silly or not talking when others are talking (the teachers), I have continued to be a role model to other students by showing respect to others.

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned are NZ parliament are:

• John Key sits in the forth seat on the right
• National sits on the right side 
• You don't always need to be in parliament

Here is the link to my compare and contrast map explaining the difference between democracy and dictatorship.
