Inside The Red Gate - (The Great Ordinary)

Task description: Todays blog post is from my literacy class and will maybe be my last blog post for my literacy class, anyway this poem is inspired by the great ordinary slideshow I posted about a week or 2 ago before starting to do this. This peom is inspired by the great ordinary because the title was about At the end of my driveway, how kids walking to school and deep in their own thoughts and worlds. This was done in a group of four me and my other 3 buddies in my reading groups Paua and Kina, so it was fun doing this because our was Inside the  red gate which talks about our school Point England.

Puaki Post

Task description: This is post for my literacy class, this post is called Puaki it's about people who have ta moko's on there face and what it means to us New Zealand people. This was in room 1 team 5 block where all the seniors are. And our Literacy teacher is Mrs Moala. I have been doing this for the past few days and weeks.

One of the maori legends because Te Ta moko represents our New Zealand tradition back then because people like to represent the Ta moko as cultural New Zealanders. In each of the boxes are bits of what I know about te ta moko and some reasons of what I think about te ta moko, Old people that are in their 70s,80s and their 90s have them some of them have it done properly and fully but some just have bits of it on their chin.

But I think that the ta moko is some kinda legend about how maori people came to this land or how there were even maori people. My feeling is that all of this has something to do with maori existent or other solutions why.

But here is another thought about te ta moko is that the ta moko is the permanent marking or “tattoo” as traditionally practised by maori.



This is a photo of a person who has a ta moko on their chin and upwards. This screenshot that I have put on just to show you what a ta moko looks like.
