Activity 3: Make a game

 Holiday challenge 3 make a game for you and your family to play during the holidays. In this game you will need things like pairs of socks about 5 per person used as ammunition/ammo. This game can be played throughout your house and can have 2 or more players. Everyone starts with a couple pairs of socks or stuff like that to be used as ammo and your objective is to hit people with your ammo. Once someone gets hit they are out and drop all there ammo where they were hit. If some throws the ammo you can once it stops moving pick it up and use it for yourself. If you catch someones ammo you are not out but neither is the person who threw it. You can't use any other objects as ammo. Last person standing wins

Activity 2: Be Active

 Holiday challenge 2 make a game that is suitable for our school and keeps everyone active. It is a very simple game. There are four different coloured hoops. Lets say red, yellow, green and blue. Ther can be 3 of each 5 of each or just 1 of each aslong as they have the same amount. There can be four ways of playing this game. The first one is that everyone gets into a colour hoop and the caller calls a colour. Say they pick yellow Everyone has 5 seconds to out of a yellow hoop if you dont get into another colour in time you are out. The caller cannot look until they call a colour, then they look and see who doesn't make it in time. After the people who loses gets out the caller calls another colour and the game goes until 1 person is left. The second on is everyone gets into a hoop and the caller calls a colour, everyone in the colour that the caller chose is out colour is now out. After everyone that loses gets out ypou have 10 seconds to get into a new hoop or stay in the same. The caller cannot look at who is in what colour and has to look away when calling. The third is everyone gets into a hoop and then the caller calls a colour and everyone has 5 seconds to get into the colour the caller said. If you do not make it in time you are out. The caller can't look until they call a colour and then they look to see who doesn't make it. After the people who loses gets out the caller calls another colour and the game goes until 1 person is left. The last one is the caller calls a colour and everyone runs to that colour anyone who doesn't make it in 5 seconds is out. If the game isn't ending you can move the hoops further away from eachother, remove 1 or 2 hoops or have less time to get to the hoops.

Matariki Celebrate

We had to design a Matariki celebration of how we thought Matariki was celebrated. I found this difficult because my family doesn't celebrate Matariki. Here my celebration:

Matariki narrative

Matariki just recently happened and we had to make a nnarrative about Matariki. We could do anything we wanted aslong as it had relevance to Matariki. Here it is:

One time three mischievous teenage boys, Koda, Zowyn and George. Koda the smart one, Zowyn the prank player and George the one trying not to get involved. Koda, Zowyn and George were always causing trouble and were banned from all the local stores because of the pranks they played. George wanted time off pranks and suggested they spent some time in the forest. So they went to the forest but things didn't go as planned…

...Out of nowhere Koda was gone
George and Zowyn got worried and started searching for Koda and in doing so they found themselves lost. Koda tried calling for them but got no reply and all of a sudden they found themselves in pitch black. It was like they were all alone in virtual reality, a deep voice said “you 3 have been transported into an endless void and the only way of getting out is by finding three stars each. Good luck you’re gonna need it.” After hearing the message they all started to search for stars. George was the first one to find all three stars and was transported back to the real world but when he got there he saw Koda and Zowyn on the ground, they were unconscious. About 5 minutes later Koda woke up. Koda realised that he still had the stars and told George that they could be used as a memory of this time. When Zowyn returned from the void they were all together and Koda told Zowyn about his idea. After all three of them threw their stars into the sky they decided to name the stars and name the cluster pleiades or Matariki and from that day Matariki has been used for resources and knowledge for the future.
