These are all  people that play important roles in keeping the Tuvaluan language and culture traditions alive. To help then they are guided by these 4 different principles which are..

1. Olaga kau fakatasi ko te maopoopo ko te malosi ( Unity is togetherness and strength)
2. Olaga fiafia o sale te poto sala se laumani manuia ( Wisdom is the path to happiness and a bright future)
3. Olaga Fealofani (Live in peace with others)
4. E see ko pati ako faiga (Actions speak louder than words)

 Spring Learning Journey

Activity 2

Hello there and welcome back to my blog, I hope you are all doing well during your Term 3 Holidays. Almost there everyone! As you all know that it is holidays, of course there is another Learning Journey. During these holidays I'll be blogging and explaining  about the Spring Learning Journey activities almost everyday.A big thanks goes to creators of the Spring Learning Journey as well as the teachers in Team 5 who have encourage students to participate . So sit back and relax while I explain the 2nd activity for the Spring Learning Journey, Wk 1.

Activity 2 (Facts): Romeo and Juliet

Along with the tasks set up for us, they provide fun facts about the people that we are learning about. The person that this activity is about was  a famous author, poet and playwright. He is best known for playing roles amazingly in plays and one of is famous plays is Romeo and Juliet. You've guessed it, it's William Shakespheare.

So before we get into the activity let me share you some more facts about him.

1. Shakespheare was born on the  26th April 1564
2. Shakespheare is widely considered the world's best dramatist
3. He wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets
4. He married to Anne Hathaway when he was only 18
5. Then he had 2 twins, Hamnet and Judith

Shakesprearean English Task

So for this task today I had to learn more about Shakesprearean English. Shakesprearean English is the version of english Shakespheare  used in most of his plays. To practice being like Shakespheare we had to write a small recount of what we did in the morning. Then after that we had to use a translating tool that translates it into Shakesprearean English.

Taha Whanau: NZSL

NZ Sign Language Wk 2020

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog, this week is New Zealand Sign Language week. The topic that goes with Sign Language is 'Sign language is for everyone!'.

This week is to acknowledge the deaf people and those who help teach them sign language and ways to communicate to others. It is important to never make fun of people who have trouble hearing because they are the tough ones who learn sign language so that they can talk and introduce them to others. 

Task Description: Today in our Te Whare Tapa Wha work, I am focusing on Taha Whanau. As it is Sign Language week, for our activity we had to record ourselves introducing our names in NZSL Alphabet /Fingerspelling. Learning NZ sign language helps us make a better connection with friends and whanau who are deaf or hard of hearing. In this video I started off by saying Good Morning and introduced my name by saying My Name is Hannah! This was a really educational and fun activity to do.
