Peaceful Protest At Parihaka

During te reo matatini we read about the story of parihaka I learnt that the people of Parihaka used a from of non-violent protest called passive resistance. I learnt that the government promised maori that they would be able to keep posse ion of their land however, the crown went back on their word and began confiscate maori land. I learnt that the maori people didn't attack instead they made 500 loaves of bread to share with the soldiers and sent their children to greet them when the soldiers arrived at the centre of the village they found 2500 maori sitting together. It made me feel confused and mad because the crown lied to the people of Parihaka and took their land with guns. I agree that the guy fawkes should be renamed as Parihaka day. we had to create a feather and summarise'd what we learnt

             The Monster Under The Bed

No one believes me they think i'm lying but it's really true.A big hairy monster live under my bed and i can prove it.

The big hairy monster will pot it's hands from out under my bed and the monster said if you go to sleep it said i will kill you so i did not go to sleep so wen the sun came up up the big monster was not there.but wen the sun went down the monster pot it's hands out from under my bed at the same time but it's hands are more out of my bed and all of the time the monster head was all most coming out of my bed.So the next day she did not go to her house and she went to her sisters house.And wen she went to her house it was not there so she went to bed and she was alright. 

Pounamu Information

My MILO is going to be about carving and the pounamu information will be helpful background to know.

Reource Ref: Wikipedia.

Pounamu refers to several types of hard, durable and highly valued nephrite jade, bowenite, or serpentinite stone found in southern New Zealand. Pounamu is the Māori name. These rocks are also generically known as "greenstone" in New Zealand English.

There are two systems for classifying pounamu. Geologically, the rock falls into the three categories named above, but Māori classify pounamu by appearance.^[2] The main classifications are kawakawa, kahurangi, īnanga, and tangiwai. The first three are nephrite jade, while tangiwai is a form of bowenite.^[3]

• Īnanga pounamu takes its name from a native freshwater fish (Galaxias maculatus) and is pearly-white or grey-green in colour and varies from translucent to opaque.^[4]
• Kahurangi pounamu is highly translucent and has a vivid shade of green. It is named after the clearness of the sky and is the rarest variety of pounamu.^[5]
• Kawakawa pounamu comes in many shades, often with flecks or inclusions, and is named after the leaves of the native kawakawa tree (Macropiper excelsum). It is the most common variety of pounamu.^[6]
• Tangiwai pounamu is clear like glass but in a wide range of shades. The name comes from the word for the tears that come from great sorrow.^[7]

In modern usage pounamu almost always refers to nephrite jade. Pounamu is generally found in rivers in specific parts of the South Island as nondescript boulders and stones. These are difficult to identify as pounamu without cutting them open.
