Food and Culture.

The Pacific Islanders eat taro. It can be planted anywhere. It can be grown on mountains and close to the sea.
Taro is a root vegetable that grows well in a humid climate.  It  also grows in the Pacific Islands  in mushy soil. The islanders eat taro because it is very high in calories and it fills them up. Taro came from Hawaii when the pacific nations came on a canoe. Taro is really good for babies.It can be used for baby food.

For many years kumara has been a New zealand favourite because it can be used in a boil up and a hangi. New zealand has an ideal climate (warm) that kumara needs to grow in. Kumara was brought to new Zealand  from central South America. New Zealand kumara needs to have dry soil. Early Maori settlers came from South America. Kumara is high in carbohydrates.

Kumara and taro have one very huge thing in common. Its that everyone likes them.

Message to Val

Val, to me you are an inspiration. You are a huge role model to everyone. There is no need to be sad because at Glen Innes School you are still a star. You encourage everyone to be like you. You are very good at shot put so there is  no need to give up on your dreams.

A huge thanks..

Dear Parents

Thank you so much for spending  all your money on me for the netbook. It really will help me learn a lot in maths, reading and writing.

Having a netbook will really help me learn my maths because if I don’t get something I can search it up. Now I have my netbook I can learn my 4, 6, 7 and 8 times tables. It is a lot easier than it used to be. I can also search up games like fraction games or division games to help learn a lot.

Reading is a lot easier as well because I can read online stories and   play reading games.The netbook has a lot of amazing reading games on it and I play some of them to correct my reading comprehension.

Now that we have our netbook we can write on google docs or word. We don’t have to use our books anymore so having a netbook is really wonderful.

I promise that I will always look after my netbook and never break it and be responsible. I am really grateful  that you brought  me one and I will always listen to you.


Your child
