SLJ Taika Waititi's Pepeha

A Pepeha
ʻO Pepeha

My first name is Taika Waititi

Taika Waititi lived in Raukokore, a small town on the east coast of New Zealand.

Noho ʻo Taika Waititi ma Raukokore, kahi kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao hikina o Aotearoa

When he graduated from secondary school he went to study drama at Victoria University.

I kona puka ʻana i ke kula kiʻekiʻe, hele ʻo ia e aʻo i ke kula ma Victoria University.

Even though he moved away from home he still can remember his family, and he always will.

ʻOiai naʻe ua haʻalele ʻo ia mai ka home aku hiki iā ia ke hoʻomanaʻo mau i kona ʻohana, ʻo ia mau nō ka manawa.

This is Taika Waititi’s pepeha.

ʻO kēia ka pepeha a Taika Waititi.

Fairy Bread

Room 10 were making fairy bread but room 10 had company, room 1 was coming too. We got a slice of bread shaped as a triangle and got to put icing on it. After putting icing students in room 10 and room 1 poured in a whole lot of sprinkles and marshmallows, they even ate some.

Xmas Ornaments

Christmas was coming up and our teacher had a
 great idea. She said that we should make our own
 Christmas ornaments and that’s what we did.
Lets look at how we made it.

1. Pour in 2 cups of flour into a medium bowl.

2. Pour in 1 cup of water and 1 cup of salt into the medium bowl.

3. Mix until it doesn't stick to your hands or fingers.
put it on a flat space (like a table) and start shaping it.

4. let it dry for a whole day.

5. put it in the oven 90 Celsius for 3 hours.

6. Then Paint.

Merry Christmas Folks

A Taniwha's Life

A Taniwha is a legendary creature that Maoris think is real. Nobody has seen a Taniwha that's why there are different types of Taniwhas on google. People need evidence for others to know if a Taniwha is real. Taniwhas are similar to a serpent, Taniwhas are carnivores they would kidnap women and will eat and kill people. They Hide in lakes, caves,rivers and oceans. Others believe that a Taniwha was made to be a guardian of an ancient tribe. A Taniwha has been spotted several times but by different people.

Assembly Feelings

Our Assembly was on Friday 15th November and the day was here, most of us were scared but I was overconfident. As minutes passed my feeling changed to how much amount of audience there is. Our whole hall was filled with chatters and giggles, my teacher gave me the signal to walk up and speak. But as I did my mouth was glued shut then came out an exciting voice that said "Welcome To Room 10's Assembly," my fear was gone.


I was the host but I had buddies some of my buddies didn't make it. It took time to find the right buddy a confident, all ways here buddy. Her name was Sheila, she said the parts that I couldn't say.


Our story's went super well people made mistakes but kept on going. The whole Assembly went well we were scared but didn't give up, maybe you should try it.


Our future Assembly should have more practice we didn't have much.
