My Spelling and Grammar

my reading

Spelling Week 6 Term 1 2019

This is my Spelling. It kind of easy for me, but at the same time, it was difficult. The reason why it was so difficult for me, is because I can't understand some of the work. Please write a comment!

Summer Learning Journey

Day 2 Fabulous flora

Activity 1. Weaving a tall tale

I am very interested in harakeke / flax weaving at school we have done little flowers. I am interested in doing something much bigger maybe a hat or a bag. They have classes at our local marae to teach you how to weave. I was gifted a lovely hat from my cousin Amiria her nana from Te kaha made it she is very good at weaving. The hat started off very dark and slowly has become lighter.

Activity 1 Towering timbers

I do not think logging is good I dont support it. We hurt alot of our native animals and take away there habitat it also wreaks the land underneath. We need trees for oxygen and to absorb greenhouse gas. We need to protect the forest for the animals and people.
