The Value Of Ancient Traditions!
Walt: Express Ideas In Poetry Form
Task Description:
Welcome to you all! Today I am sharing with you room 2 literacy class task. For our task this week we got to do cinquain's. Well, you but wonder what is a cinquain? Well a cinquain is a type of poem but it has syllables. Syllables are words that have either 1 or more syllables, very hard to explain but for example the word yummy has two syllables, Yum my - yummy.
Anyways, our task was to great five lines with words that have 2 syllables - 8 syllables and back to 2 syllables by the fifth line. Our cinquain had to be either about ancient traditions , our identity , or any traditions like Christmas , easter or just any holiday.
In this task I had fun because I got to learn about cinquains and have fun creating new cinquains. I will recommend this task to all ages because doing cinquains are fun and you get to learn new things. In room 2 everyone did different cinquain, for me I did a 15th or 16th Spanish birthday cake , pinata , and my name. Enjoy!

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!
