First Rugby Match In New Zealand

In Poetry this week we have been learning about a ballad poem and a pioneer named Charlotte Ann. After we were to create a Dlo about something special that happened in the 1870's. Ofa, Miki, Aung Naing and I chose to research about the first rugby match that was played in New Zealand. I learnt that back in 1870 they had 18 player on the field and now we only have 15 players. In our dlo we tried to make a GIF and it didn't turn out to be as good as we thought it would be, but at least we tried. 

Ballad Poem

This week our class has been focusing on poetry. We were learning about a ballad poem called our heritage. Once we listened we used the six thinking hats to explore more about the poem. Ofa, Miki, Aung Naing and I worked really hard to make sure we wrote everything in our own words and made sure we answered the questions. I learnt what a ballad poem is. A ballad poem is a poem that tells a story. I found out that a bullocky is an animal driver.
