Book Review: Mata I Pusi!

Title: Mata I pusi

Author: Sisilia Eteuati

Genre: Fiction

As I was reading campions book this week I was thinking what the word Mata I Pusi means? Well as I was reading the first sentence I learnt that Mata I Pusi means cat eyes in Samoan, very interesting right! Well what does this book mean besides Mata I Pusi, well let’s find out!

Key information in our book this week is that the main character is feeling embarrassed because since her father is Palangi and her mother is Samoan, she is being called Palangi because of her sea green eyes that has been gifted to her from her father. So Samoan kids at her school are calling her Palangi even though she is not.

Key facts that the author shared with us is that you should not be ashamed by who you looked like and you should not be ashamed of who you are which relates to your culture. The main character in our book is both embarrassed by who they are and who they look like/ what they look like. Being proud of yourself is important because you should be thankful for who you are.

I really enjoyed that book because I got to learn how our main character lives and her thoughts on having green eyes , light brown skin, and being Palangi and Samoan. If I got to recommend this book to others the age would be 8-15 years old. This reason for that is because kids at young and old age should know/be reminded to be proud of who they are. Like how I have just learnt to be proud of who I am.

------------------------------------
Task Description:
This week campion are reading mata I pusi. One of our tasks was to create a review on our book we are reading this week. In this book we are learning to be proud of our culture and are learning about bi-racial, which means people having two cultures. This week I learnt about bi-racial and people are being judged on how they look from their identity. Enjoy!

Review on reconnecting the brain!

Review by: Leilani

Auckland, New Zealand

Age: 11

Book: Reconnecting the brain

Author: Bronwen Wall

Non-fiction

Brains are quite weird! Am I right? Well this week we had to face our fears and had to learn about the BRAIN! Since brains are a important part of our body we had to learn what does the brain do? As well as what our main character of our book does to study the brain. Well that’s enough let’s see what this book is all about!

Our main character Melanie seems like a very hard working lady that is always working towards her dreams to become a successful person in the future. Even though I haven’t meet Melanie I think she is a happy and a grateful person. You might think well what does Melanie have to do with this book? Well Melanie is a neurobiologist! The word neurobiologist means two main things. Neuro is brain, and biologist is a person who studies different things, and Neurobiologist is a person who studies a brain and cures for the brain. That’s what Melanie does for her job.

As a neurobiologist there are many struggles, for Melanie her struggles involved working with a tapu brain. The brain is very tapu which makes Melanie work harder. You might wonder what a neurobiologist might be? Well a neurobiologist is someone who studies the brain. Before she gets to work with the tapu brain she has to get a kaumatua, kuia, and Maori scholars and have a Korero Kanohi Ki Te Kanohi before working with the tapu brain.

I have enjoyed this book about the brain because I got to learn about new things that are about the brain as well as new Maori words I never knew was a thing. I would recommend this writing to kids 8 - 15 years old. This reason is to find out how the brain works and what a neurobiologist is. -------------------------------------------
Task Description:
This weeks task for reading we got to create another review on our new book. This weeks book is about reconnecting the brain. Here I am sharing with you who the main character is, what the main character does, as well as who I would like to recommend this book to others and if I enjoyed this book or not. In today's task I got to learn how to share with others what book I have been learning. Enjoy!

Moriori: A Story Of Survival.
Author : Maui and Hinemata Solomon 
Non-fiction

This week our book is called Moriori: A story of survival. This book is a non-fiction book , this reason is because during the story it states when these events happened during different times. The topic of our book Moriori: A story of survival, is to tell others that full blooded Moriori are not a fiction. Their culture are real people who worked hard for people who took over their island Rekohu. The main idea of this book is to tell the history of Moriori people , how they worked hard , what happened when the British people took over , and other key information that explains Moriori are not a fiction. 

Secondly, I really enjoyed reading this book as I got to learn the culture and history of Moriori. I got to learn a new culture who I didn’t even know existed! One thing I learnt in my new book is the culture of Moriori. I have not heard of this culture before and it is a very strong culture. I also learnt from their culture of traditional wear that people used to wear.

Even though I don’t know any Moriori people I would like to recommend this text to adults who learnt that Moriori was a fiction , as they can learn that Moriori is not a fiction and is a real true culture who worked hard for others. I would also recommend this book to younger kids so they understand that Moriori is real and they can teach their future kids , grandchildren. Facts about the true culture of full blooded Moriori.
