Summer Learning Journey: Day #3 - All in the family

Hello again bloggers, well its another hot days isn't. ,#3 of Summer Learning Journey, blogging is so much fun, which I love to DO!. I have more activity to do in fact here is one I just finished.....

Activity #1
* The More, the Merrier?!😊

In the 1800s, most families were pretty big. In fact, many parents had an average of seven to nine children.  Imagine that you were a child in the 1800s and you had nine siblings. Wow, what a large family indeed!!

Imagine that I was a child in the 1800s and I had nine siblings, How would I feel?, how would you feel. Will I enjoy being a member of such a a large family, Why or why not?

I would feel really happy having nine siblings my family, I would really enjoy being part of a large family, because I like having other siblings to play with, or I prefer to say keep me company. If I get into trouble my siblings will get me out of it, and their always help me out, well look out for each other. I love making memories with them. Being part of a large family is a lot of work. But the thing about large family is that their always their for you, anyways in hard times their be enough love their to *carry you on (*Never letting you give up)

In fact here is a collage photo of me and my family😀:

Activity #2
*Acknowledging Ancestry🤔

All of us are members of a family. Some of us have large families and some of us have very small families. When I have the opportunity to talk about my family and my ancestry I sometimes choose to use a pepeha. It is a very special way of identifying who I am and where I come from. There are many different versions of pepeha but most provide people with information about who I am and where I come from (i.e. your whakapapa).

This involves information about my river my mountain even about my founding ancestry and my tribe as well! here is my pepeha that I have finished.....

Maori:                                      

Ko Mt Wellington te maunga   

Ko Waikato River te awa         

Ko Nofoilo te waka

Ko Polo Family tōku tīpuna

Ko No tōku iwi         

Ko Toa Samoa tōku hapu

Ko Tamakie P.I.C marae

Ko Samoa ahau

Ko Toria rāua ko Prichard ōku mātua  

Ko Leilani tōku ingoa.
