Activity 2:Exploring Our Roots

This week for the second activity, day 1 of the teaser week of SLJ, we created a pepeha which is how Taika Waititi wrote it to introduce himself to other people. Taika Waititi is a NZ filmmaker, comedian, actor and directer. He created popular films like Thor "Ragnarok". As we created the pepeha, we used our creativity to make our pepeha stand out. For my pepeha I decided to add images next to it. 

Maori

This week for Maori we had to fix our pepeha's. First we got a sheet of paper from Whiaodie. The sheet of paper had 4 circle faces. On the sheet of paper we needed to draw emojis of angry, good, cold and hot. For the good emoji we had to write down Kei te pai, for the cold emoji we had to write down Kei te makariri, for the angry emoji we had to write down Kei te riri and for the hot emoji we had to write down Kei te wera. Once we drew the emojis we had to translate a Maori song that Whiaodie wrote on the whiteboard. We had to go on Maori dictionary to find out the translation. We also had to sing the song. When we finished singing the song and translating it we had to fix our Maori pepeha's that we did last week.
