GOALS RELATING TO HOBBIES: Literacy (Careers/ Skills lesson) - Huriata

GOALS RELATING TO HOBBIES: WALT: Identify and plan goals to achieve!

A skill I want to develop or improve:
Is managing time and being more productive with my skill/ hobby. I need to be able to draw constantly and making sure it's at a good quality, so it can be sold and I can get money (To do other things/ buy stuff I want) 
Ways I could develop this skill:
Manage and plan events/ tasks. I need to sort activities separately (free time, school time, fam time) things like dates and set time frames so I'm well prepared and aware of what I'm doing (no waste time on unnecessary things) I think I'd be more successful if I have this type of mindset and skill.

T3W4 Huriata - Dreams - Inquiry

T3W4 Huriata - Book Box - Reading



WALT: Identify a texts genre based on how we evaluate/ analyse our book. 
The text I read was 'The Great Ordinary' which I found really interesting. Edith is a local photographer (Is also her hobby) and she gets interviewed being asked questions like: "Why do you take pictures?" "What is special about this?" some feeling flattered when she took pictures of them. But it also has a look into the 'new' generation and how we may grow up to be/live/grow. She is a 'Documentary Photographer' - capturing the moment we have now before it all seems to vanish. I love the idea of that. She tells her opinions about how things may turn out in a couple years for cultural families in New Zealand.

Something I found difficult during this whole task was the 'Recount' I had to write. I've been staring at it for two days not knowing what to paste on it. So I thought, "My look in things..." And I figured I'd write something on my glasses. Many people find it surprising that I wear spectacles ( But I'm pretty sure it's because my frames always seem to pop out)

PB4L - In The Corridors/ Stairs: Poster


Here is a poster based on how we are to behave in the corridors and stairs. A small message to tell kids that if they are hungry to instead of doing something bad/ negative in the school, to use their initiative and ask for some food/ full your stomach.

Huriata - Tōku Tuakiri - Poetry: Trees

Trees
By Huriata Paraone

I am Huriata
Black, my skin from the earth to the night duvet which Matariki sleeps in
I stand on breathing lands, and ride the largest stingray
I live afar my sleeping lands, the stingray guide me home
For my glazed over onyx gem that shows me what I am
I am Maori, I am Tongan

My whanau lived among many mountains and rivers, trees and sand
Caves wide like an owl's eyes, forest deeper than a king fishers fall
This clay and red wood, is my ancestors welcoming whare
The hair of tangaroa, my people swim in         

My ancestors
You planted a tree, a leaf so green, a bloom I see
And the harakeke you left us, we’ll weave wisdom and wit
For that in a next life, the after, the beyond, the where my eyes shall take me
I will be an ancestor to someone sane to meet heights, fall far but fly like a tui.
