Task Description :

Talofa everyone, today we had a tech google meet with a Tamaki graphics teacher Ms Ferguson. Our task was to design a house on this site we use which is called : Tinkcard.

Tuvalu Language Week 2021 !!

Vaiaso te Gana Tuvalu

Introduction

Talofa everyone, this week is Tuvalu Language Week ! As we are still in Level 3 lockdown we can still do online learning, and our focus this week is Tuvalu Language. So to celebrate Tuvalu Language Week I'll be posting about the amazing tasks focusing on Tuvalu that our Team 5 teachers set for us. 

 This year's theme for Vaiaso te Gana Tuvalu ( Tuvalu Language Week ) is 'Fakaakoigina tou iloga kae tukeli ke magoi mote ataeao'. In English this translates 'Embracing our culture and a more secure, vibrant future'. The theme highlights the importance role language and cultures has when securing a vibrant future for Tuvaluans across Aotearoa. It enourages language and culture to be embraced to build strong foundations of perseverance, success, and healthy equilty.      

Tuvalu is a small Pasific island nation that lies midway between Australia and Hawaii. Tuvalu means eight islands standing together. The total land area is around 26 square kilometers. The nine islands are: Funafuti, Nanumaga, Nanumea, Niutao, Nui, Niulakita, Nukufetau, Nukulaelae and Vaitupu. These are all the Nine small islands that make up Tuvalu

Dogs are way bettter than cats !

 Topic : Dogs are better than cats !

What makes the best pet to have ? Dogs ( Yay ) or Cats ( Eh ).

To the people that believe cats are better, you are mistakenly wrong. Lucky for you thats why I am here, to tell you why dogs are the best choice to choose. Without a doubt dogs are better than cats as they make a better pet,  here’s why …..

Reason No.1 ,  Dogs are loyal companions. You may think that this is hard to believe but dogs are actually loyal to their owners. They are known to stick with you to the end. They’ll stay with you forever as you are known to them as your leader. To scientists knowledge as dogs grow and build up, they become more familiar with its owner which strengthens a great and strong bond between you and your dog that’ll last a lifetime.

Reason No.2 , Dogs make everyone’s life happy. What’s life without dogs that are certain to make you day better ? Picture this, you lying lonely on the couch, eating your chip crumbs that have been falling out of you mouth, boring right ! Well lets bring a dog into the picture, a fluffy, happy, fur of joy jumping around. You start laughing and the dogs starts making your day. As you can see this is how dogs can make everyone's day.
