Tastes of summer

 For this activity we looked at our favorite summer foods and described them by using adjectives. Adjectives are words that are used to describe people places or things. Some of my favorite foods are Ice cream, pizza and potato chips.

Te Huarere

 For this activity learn the different weathers in Maori, some examples of this are hāuaua which means rainy and pūāhuru which means hot. The main task was to make three sentences that explains the weather forecast.

Pigpen chiper

 For this activity we learnt about the pigpen chiper. The pigpen chiper is a code system, it uses sides of the tic tac toe grids for letters A to. For letters J to R it is the same bu you need to put a dot in tho box, for letters S to V you have to draw an X. Lastly for letters W to Z you do the exact same but just put a dot in the box. We had to decrypt a hint that would lead us to a beach where the cave with the treasure was, we also create our own pigpen chiper clue to what our favorite beach was.

Santa's new outfit

 For this activity we created a new outfit for Santa. When creating this outfit we needed to think about where we live and the things special to our area for example the weather, animals, flowers, etc. My design has a short sleeve shirt and shorts, I chose to make this type of outfit because New Zealand has a summer Christmas unlike most other countries and also because Santa wouldn't get hot when he is delivering presents. 

Summer haiku

 For this activity we created a haiku poem about summer, a haiku is a Japanese style of poetry discovered in the 17th century. This type of poem has three lines of 5, 7 and five syllables, one of the four founders of the haiku poem was poet Matsuo Basho.
