What Christmas Means To me! :)

 For the past weeks Team Toroa and I have been writing a doc about what Christmas means to us and what we do to celebrate. We will be sending these writing papers to the Gisborne Herald. They have given us a opportunity to write what christmas means to me, They will be choosing ten people from the Gisborne Schools but only one of those ten people will be winning a shopping voucher.

I enjoyed creating the piece of writing because it took me back to spending time with my whanau and all the great memories on Christmas.

I found it challenging to fit all of the writing onto the one doc because I had so much more to write about but I felt as if it was too much. 

Next time I will make more slides so its more interesting instead of just one.

Guy Fawkes Acrostic Poem!!

During our two sessions of tuhi we learnt and created a piece of an acrostic poem about guy fawkes. At the start of the session our kiako lit some sparklers and showed us a video of the London fireworks at the start of 2020 to help us create a picture in our mind. Guy Fawkes in New Zealand are on the 5th of november, On November 5th in New Zealand we can either set a fire on the sandy beach or obviously set off fireworks.

I enjoyed watching our kiako light the sparklers they brought because it was interesting what they drew,wrote and the smell smelt nice.

I found it challenging to think of words to fill the letters because I couldn't think of any words that would match the topic and the letter.

I found it easy to find the font and to make my words show more than the background.

Next time I will use more interesting words and more words to add to the sentence.
