If I Had Wings poem

For the past few weeks we have been doing poetry. This weeks task was a poem about If I Had Wings... First we had to answer some questions and then we had to colour in the piece of paper with the poem. Last of all we had to write our own If I Had Wings poem. We had to use sticky 
( interesting ) language, use the five senses and use interesting verbs and nouns. Here is my poem.

Porwhiri Writing

PORWHIRI


Wero
Ceremonial challenge by hosts to visitors to check if they come in peace or war.
But now Its just for respect. The people that performed the wero are the wariors.


Karanga
Welcoming those that come to the marae performed by the women.
The welcoming theme is like a sad tune that goes on for 10 seconds.

Whaikōrero
Speeches from the admin of the tribe. The men do the speeches.
In the speeches they welcome the guest and they pay respects to
the ancestor of the tribe. The speaker tells about what’s gonna happen
in the day.


Koha
Giving food or treasure like greenstone and gold and silver.
Donating money to help raise money for the marae. The koha is given
during the speeches.


Waiata
After the speech the waiata is sung (usually the women start it but the
women and men continue it and end it). This supports the speech.


Hongi
After the speech the visitors are invited to the hongi and to do the
hongi, you put you head and nose against another persons head
and nose. It’s a maori tradition and it’s a sign of peace and respect.


Kai

At the end of the porwhiri we have kai and in english it’s food.
We get all kinds of food: oranges, apples, banana, apricot, bread and
beef. VERY YUM, and usually we get cakes and cookies. Adults get
coffee and tea. (my brother gets coffee and he's 12!)

Kawa of Care

We have been learning to follow the kawa of care which tells us how to look after our devices and be cyber smart. We had to chose three rules to write about. here is my work.

Here it is!
