Samoa

Samoa,

Samoan traditional dances are really important. There are heaps of traditional samoan dances. LIke a sasa, siva afi, siva tau and taulaga and more.  Traditional samoan dances have poetry of people.People come from places to custom the dances. 

The dances actually tell a story of cultural values and the dancers perform at events. 

When you are dancing you have to be graceful and exuberant and peaceful in the oldest culture in polynesians.

The female tattoo is called a malu. When you are 21 you get  a malu. When you get a malu you finally become a woman. You have to be respectful, trustful. The pe’a and malu is viewed with cultural pride and identity as well as a hallmark of manhood and womanhood. The pe’a is designed for men that spans from waist to knee. Each tattoo tells its own story and being able to say what it represents. It basically shows your admiration and appreciation for polynesian art culture. When you're getting a malu it will cover up 65% of your legs. It basically covers your whole thighs until it reaches from the back to the front of your knee. It takes upto 3 months to finish your tattoos. 

Samoan foods are DELICIOUS. They have all kinds of foods. My favourite samoan foods are povi masima(Corn Beef), sapasui(chop suey) mamoe with rice(lamb).  Samoan food is sometimes heavily spiced but normally it is characterized by the use of coconut milk and cream.  All islanders love their food, especially samoan. Samoa’s foods are the same as Tongan food, but they name it a different way.

Gravity

 Talofa welcome back to my blog. Today we have been learning about gravity. 

Today we watched the video on how high you can jump on each planet. This week we are doing a egg drop test. Mr Reizinger told us we have to make sure our egg does not crack when we drop it.  We have also have some questions to answer. 

Jupiter is the most biggest planet. 

How is gravity related to mass?

a bigger planet with have stronger gravity.

Say you will weigh 30 and you went to jupiter, you would weigh 70.2. Because so much weight is on you.

How would your life be if you lived on a higher gravity or lower gravity? 

if i lived on higher gravity you wouldn't be able to walk to school or anywhere. You would be flying everywhere.

If i lived on lower gravity it would be much easier for you to walk anywhere. 

Hope you guys enjoyed my blog. See you guys next time.

How do bees make honey?

 Talofa welcome back to my blog. Today we have been doing writing

Writing for this term is how do bees make honey. We watched a video on how do bees make honey.We had to write three paragraph's of how do bees make honey. 1 fact about bees is that they need 1000 flowers to make honey.

here is my informations  of how do bees make honey.

Bees go to 8 million flowers to make honey and make our fruits, veges 

First bees pollinate 3 quarters of our Fruits, Vegetables and Nuts. When they get to the flowers bees dive head first using their long tongues to slurp the nectar.They need 1000 flowers to pollinate and make honey.They collect nectar as much as possible.

Secondly the bees store the collected nectar in their honey stomach. Bees will vomit nectar into another bee worker and will keep going.one bee hive has 50kg’s of honey. Some bees are not that big so they don't get that much nectar

After They vomit into the honeycomb cell they cover it with wax so then the honey comb will stay together. Bees go around the world to find heaps of flowers to collect nectar.They need at least 1000 flowers to make honey.

hope you enjoyed my blog. bye
