Maori Battalions Letter

Dear whomever this may concern,

On behalf of all iwi from Waikato and Taranaki, I wish to inform you of our thoughts about the Maori Contingent, because I feel you do not understand our reasons for not having the will to join your war. We will NOT fight another man's war and risk our lives for another man’s faults. How dare you think we should take part in this war, when you have seized the ability to grow our own food!? Imagine working in the farms, all week long and still knowing you won’t be able to provide a stable diet for your children. Now imagine that the people who caused this problem, asking for your help? The first thought you have into your mind is revenge. May I add, that after all of this damage you have caused to our iwi, you have decided to send our sons to prison! Do you think this will make us want to come and fight for you anymore than we did 50 years ago? Exactly. I hope you are able to understand why we don’t want to sacrifice any lives for you and your kind.

Yours Sincerely,

All iwi o Waikato and Taranaki.

In Room 5 we are learning about the Maori Pioneer Battalions. This is a letter to the editor saying why we do not want to go to WW1. I worked collaboratively with Fine to complete this task.

Maori Battalions Poster

Currently, Room 5 is learning about the Maori Pioneer Battalions. I worked on this poster collaboratively in partners with Fine. This task was based about how we had to get the Maori Soldiers to join the WW1. 

WW1 Collage

In Room 5 we are focusing on Maori Pioneer Battalions that took part in the WW1. I worked on this collage collaboratively in partners with Fine. This collage shows some of the Brave Maori Soldiers who gave up their lives to go and fight for us and our freedom that we have now.  

Maori Pioneer Paragraph

“Haere e tama ma. Haere me te whakaaro ki te pupuri i te rongo toa a o tatou tipuna. Kia wehi ki whakaaro ki te pupuri i te rongo toa a o tatou tipuna. Kia wehi ki te Atua. Whakahonoretia te kingi”

“Farewell, young men. Go and uphold the name of our warrior ancestors. Fear God. And honour the king.”

Our heads were bowed as our whanau recited those words. The pride had caused such a sudden rush through my blood, I could not hold the tears back. For those words had affected me hugely because I knew for a fact that all my brothers here, together as one, would use those words as a motivation to fight for our freedom of our whanau, and to give all that we had into it. I feel the strength of my whanau giving me more hope and confidence, trusting me with all their might to represent our iwi.

This is a paragraph based around the Maori Soldiers from Waikato and Taranaki. In this paragraph we had to talk about how we felt while leaving our family through the eyes of a Maori Soldier.

This is a poster about Henare Mokena Kohere. He was a soldier that too part in WW1 to fight for us and our freedom. Henare was a very popular man and was a respected soldier. 

Hamburgers Prezi

This is a Prezi that I created about Hamburgers. It was based around Hamburgers because that was the topic that was chosen by Halatoa. This Prezi talks about how the burgers are formed, what main ingredients go in burgers and aslo interesting facts about burgers. The 1 most interesting fact that I found out about burgers is that the beef comes from 1000 different cows.
