Summer Learning Task: Pepeha

Is it fair? Pay Equity

Fiao’o Fa’amausili was the captain of the New Zealand (NZ) Black Ferns, our national women’s rugby team, until 2018. The Black Ferns have been a very successful team, winning the Women’s Rugby World Cup a record five times. Wow! 

Despite this success, the Black Ferns have only recently become ‘professional’ rugby players who are paid to play rugby. Although they are paid, the Black Ferns make less money than members of the men’s professional rugby team - the All Blacks. This difference in pay is often called the ‘gender pay gap’ and it is not uncommon in sports.

I think this may be a bit sexist but the men's rugby is more popular, so I'm not quite sure.
and I think that the men in rugby play better and harder than the women's rugby.
More people watch men's rugby, that means that people pay more to get tickets, so I kind of think that the men should get paid more.

Tairua's Story

I'm Noah i'm really into animals but there are these people trying to kill all of the animals but…”
the island is about to flood, so i have a plan. I'm probably going to build a ark, a ark is a
massively big bout, i'm going to but all of the animals on the ark then go to a new island, But i
really need help so the elephants are going to get trees and the snakes are going to pall them
to the monkeys then the monkeys and the monkeys built the ark.

“But what if, the plan fails i don't have a back up plan what do we do then”. I guess i'm just
gonna hope that the plan is successful.

Me and the animals woke up in the morning we got on the ark well the other people we sleeping
then we made it to safety.

Active Learning

Capital E Festival of the Arts

On Thursday, the Year 7 & 8s from Otaki College went  to the Capital E Festival of the Arts. We went and saw three shows.

 The first show is called Troll.  It was about a kid having a hard life because he got bullied at school, and he had his own Troll that wanted to eat him. When we saw this show it was held in an auditorium. The seating quality was pretty good in my opinion, there were two actors and they were both really good. The actors were realy convincing, and motivating, and funny.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


The second show we went to is a comedy show, it had a lot of different stories,  like one about a fast ninja, and another one about a person that cleans windows, and got stuck on a window cleaner platform. I did not like the seating - you had to sit on a rubber ground, and everyone was squished. But the acting was pretty good, there were two really flexible people.⭐⭐⭐

Sense poems

I like the soft golden sand on my feet.                   Hering the basketball Swish in the hoop.

I live by the blue beach.                                         The feeling of your feet skimming the court.                                         
I like the blue see through wave water.                  Crossing your friend in a 1 on 1.

I like the golden sun on the blue water.                  The intense of getting half court shot.         
               
My feet sink in the crunchy sand.                           The feeling of making a reverse layup. 




The sweet smell of hot baked cake.                    The calm dreams when you're sleeping.

The smell of the hot oven.                                   I her my mum when she wakes me up in the morning.

The cold fridge on a hot day.                               The hate when my brother shoots me with a nerf gun                                                                             
The good smell of the sweet pantry.                    The smell of the lynx in my room.

The smoky hot steam  from the pan.                   The view of my clothes hanging up on my shelf.
