Making A Poi

In this blog post I am going to tell you how to make a poi.

1. Braid three ribbons together. Make sure there is some ribbon left at the end so you can tie it around the poi stuffing.
2. Get a plate, lay it on some fabric and cut around the outside of it.
3. Get some stuffing (we used an old pillow) and place it in the middle of the fabric circle. 
4. Tie the end of the braided ribbon around the stuffing.
5. Wrap the fabric around the stuffing then get some string. Tie it around the fabric to make sure the stuffing stays in the poi. 

Here is my poi!

Maori Language Week Day Two!

Yesterday for my Maori language task I had to say our P
epeha. Again I thought it was going to be easy but it wasn't. This Pepeha was much longer than the other one. I don't think it completely how it should sound but I tried my best.

Here it is!

Here is the Pepeha I had to say!

 

My Maori Language Task!

Yesterday for my reading task I had to take a video of myself saying this Maori verse. I thought it was going to be easy but it took me a long time to get it right. Watch it below! 

Here is what I had to say:

My Mum And Dad Get Vaccinated!

On Friday my Mum and Dad got their Covid-19 vaccinations. My Dad hadn't got a vaccination since 1998 so he was quite scared. When we got there there was a reasonably small queue so it only took us about 20 minutes to get to the front. My Mum got her vaccination first. She went in with my sister then I went in with my Dad. Surprisingly he didn't do anything, he just sat there. After our fifteen minute wait to see if my parents' had a reaction we went home.

Tongan Language Week!

This week is Tongan language week! For my writing I had to do a report on it. It had to include lots of facts and sometimes it was hard to find information. I got a few ideas off my classmates when they shared their screen in the goggle meet but mostly off the slides that my teacher gave me. The fact that surprised me the most is that Tonga has around 180 islands. Please tell me what fact you found the most interesting in the comments.

Here is the link for my report.

How To Play Bouncy Connect Four!

How to play bouncy connect four - Connect Four Shots!

1. Get the game from your local toy shop.
2. Follow the instructions to set it up.

4. Get two other friends to play, One to play against and one to be the fielder. The fielder throws the balls back to the players if they miss.
5. Start bouncing the balls to try and get them in the frame.
6. The first person to get four in a row wins!
   
   Here is the game so you get an idea of what it is.

   

My Cat's Birthday!

Today is my cat's birthday. She is turning 13! We are going to celebrate by giving her lots of cat treats and a little hut my sister and me made out of cardboard. It has a play area, a blanket area and a shady area in case it is hot. We played with some ping pong balls in the morning. We rolled them and she chased them. In human years, according to a study, she is now 68 years old! Her name is Lolly and she mainly likes to sleep, eat and sometimes play depending on how she is feeling. Right now she is sleeping on my parents' bed. I hope she has a great day!

Here is the cat hut we made.
