My maths Refection 2016

In our group sometime we have friendly arguing. I am good at explaining my Ideas in my they will know what did and my strategy that I did. I got better at being confident before I was very shy at explaining my ideas when we need to share our Ideas but now I'm not shy. 

Next time I will stay concentrating in my group instead of talking to other groups. 

 When I work in my my group I felt great at explaining all of my ideas to them  and they will be happy =) 

I felt great at explaining my  ideas to my group.

When I work in a group it felt great because It felt like we're on are rugby team on the field.  

my name

I am a Kaitikitanga of my name, My name is “Kepoe Ariu Keresoma”  first name Kepoe second name Ariu last name Keresoma. I got the name Kepoe from My uncle his name was “Kepoe Ariu ah-chee”  the name Ariu is from is from his dad his name was Ariu Rata Iosefa Mataafa.

My last name is Keresoma thats my dad’s name My dad’s last name is Leolaga, leolaga is my dad’s dad, My granddad name is Leolaga Falefatu Latao.

Kepoe means alofa, alofa is means love in Samoa, Ariu means chief, a chief is Samoan leader of a village or group,keresoma means TOA means brave in samoa.

Thats is why all of those information that I explane is Katiakitanga to me I sustain,nurture my name, protect my name.

We were learning to communicate interesting information and ideas about our name.

I was able to tell my audience what my means and who I got it from because they who I am and they will know I am and why my name is so special to me.

I got better at explaining all the meaning of my name EG:“Kepoe Ariu ah-chee”  the name Ariu is from is from his dad his name was Ariu Rata Iosefa Mataafa.

My last name is Keresoma thats my dad’s name My dad’s last name is Leolaga, leolaga is my dad’s dad, My granddad name is Leolaga Falefatu Latao.

Kepoe means alofa, alofa is means love in Samoa, Ariu means chief, a chief is Samoan leader of a village or group,keresoma means TOA means brave in samoa. 

My next steps is to explain to my reader what my name means to me and explain more information  about my name next time.

I think that I used all of the information about about my name, I was good at telling my audience what I was saying and where I got name from.

My Taonga

]My Taonga is my conch, my conch is very special because in Samoa we use it for very special occasions like  chief meetings and funerals.

My conch is from Samoa, my aunt gave it to me so I can use it for special occasions. Once we used it for our family reunion and my dad used it when he went to his sister's funeral in Samoa.

Did you know that you find conch shells in the pacific ocean and that a conch is a hermit crab's shell?

My conch is very strong and loud like a ship's horn  

My conch means tropical marine mollusca, mollusca is shellfish live in the ocean the they grow inside the shell.

I was learning to explain information about my Taonga. I achieved to tell my class what my Taonga is called EG: My Taonga from Samoa its very special occasions. I got better at explaining heaps of information about my Taonga before I got it I knew nothing about it. 

My next steps are to learn more information about my Taonga because next time I share information my Taonga there be heaps more.

speech

21st century learning or old school learning? Which is best?  Today Im gonna tell you what I know is best, and that's 21st century style of learning. I’m sure you would all agree.

First, I’m going to tell you about what it was like was it like using  paper and pencil. Back in the days we didn't have any technology,  just boring old paper and pencil. I like 21st century learning because we get to use chromebooks instead. A chromebook is much better because when you research something you  just press the button enter then boom you in just 5 second so that is what I like about chromebook.  

Old school learning is boring! Think back to how we use to write in books using pencil and pens. All we did was copy what the teacher told us. Most of the time it was about stuff we weren't even really interested in. It took a long time, so lots of our important learning time was wasted.

Now, with the use of technology, we can search any information that we need. Its quick and fast and we don’t need to wait for the teacher. We can also learn at home and share our learning with our family.

This is why 21st century learning is BEST. I know you agree.

Thank you for listening to my speech.

                                      How I shone at polyfest

I shone At Polyfest 2015. I shone by dancing and respecting my Samoan culture. Polyfest was held at Hosanna church there were heaps of people.

Next I shone at Polyfest when I did a girl walk for the entrance and then heaps of people started laughing. All of the Boys were doing it until it came to the coolest part the whip. That was the most coolest part out of all of the moves in the slap dance because it makes the crowd go "Wow thats mean."

Then I shone when we did our sasa and when we did a pattern to impress  the audience. I am great at this because I learnt all of the slap dance and learn all of the sasa moves so I can do well at the real Polyfest.

I am really proud of the teacher and Nash and Pina for helping us for the dance and making our costume. I can’t wait until next year polyfest I hope we have a better one like this years one.

Polyfest 2015 Learning story

On 5th August, Corinna School performed their Polyfest concert at Hosanna church. We were doing Samoan dances and songs in front of our family and friends. All of the students at Corinna School were performing their own culture; like Maori, Cambodian, Cook Island and Tokelauan. 

When the door opened up to go up on the stage my stomach went empty, and then billions of butterflies entered my stomach and flew around. I been relating by contributing to going to practice we even practice at Hosanna church. When we were on stage doing the sasa we were communicating which  side to go when do the sasa.
