fun film making

 In Te Maunga we have been doing film making and we were in a group of course and every group has 5 people but some groups people are not in school or sick or I don’t know. We get to choose if we want to do an animation or fuming. In my group we learnt how to make our own characters and make them move and the best thing for me to learn is how to write my own script and have funny ideas. And my favorite thing to do was making the slides. The hard thing was making everything smooth.    

Pūrākau

 In Te Maunga we did a reading about gods and we have to compare between two gods from different countries. I leant that Tangaroa is the father of many sea creatures. Tangaroa's son, Punga, has two children, Ikatere, the ancestor of fish, and Tū-te- wehiwehi, the ancestor of reptiles. Terrified by Tāwhirimātea's onslaught, the fish seek shelter in the sea, and the reptiles in the forests. Ever since, Tangaroa has held a grudge with Tāne Mahuta and Mahuta is the atua ( atua means god) of forests, because he offers refuge to his runaway children by carving on a Māori war canoe. As Tangaroa was the god of the sea, it was important to make offerings to him before setting out for travel or fishing and many more facts. My favorite thing to learn was that during Chinese new year a lot of people wear red clothes and hang up red banners to bring good fortune into their homes and keep bad luck away. because the new year monster doesn’t like the color red or loud sounds and fire. The hard thing was writing my own narrative.
