Reading/Quesions

 This week for reading we were learning about Polynesian Panthers a group of Islanders protesting in the 1970s,We were  given some questions to answer with our knowledge that we read from these sites about how the protesting started,Learning about the Polynesian panthers was very good because we would know how hard it was back in the day when Islanders started to migrate to New Zealand,Islanders came to New Zealand for good education for there children and what not.Mrs Tofa a Samoan teacher really cool,Showed us some ads about how racist pakeha people were back then it just disgusted her really.She was telling us about another ad showing if you see a Islander make sure to avoid them at all times.   

If you would like to go in depth of the learning I did here are the sites.

Venn Diagram

This week for inquiry we were learning about Kupe Vs James Cook, We made venn diagram to compare the things that were different and in the middle of the venn diagram we had to compare the things that they do that were the same.
