Te Ara Tuhura Logo Competition

   
This is my Te Ara Tuhura logo. I made this design with my friend Damien.
We made it with 3 paths because we can go in 3 directions including to the ocean.
We used the ocean because we are all close to some part of water.
We used blue and green to give it the water look.
We used left the background white so it was still simple.
I hope you like our creation.

Argument On if Te Reo Maori should be taught in school.

This is Mine and my friend Carma's argument on if we think Te Reo Maori should be taught in schools.

Hi my name is Maia and I believe that Te Reo Maori should be compulsory.

Hi my name is Carma and I think that Te Reo Maori is a waste of time and in schools it should not be taught. 

Well I think that it should be taught because it is part of NZ language and it is a fun language to be taught.

 Well it doesn't matter if it’s fun because its school but if you want to learn Maori join a kapa haka group and if we start teaching Maori another subject will be knocked out say maths gets knocked out you will never succeed in life

Well you could do Maori twice a week and genius hour once then Inquiry twice it works out like pumpkin in pie. And kapa Haka is a waste of time you miss out on precious learning time.

Well you shouldn’t have to sacrifice precious hours of school just for a stupid language and if we started learning Maori everyone will talk it and then exchange students would not understand a thing

Well if they are from a different country they can learn English then learn Te Reo Maori it is so simple or you just don’t teach them English problem solved.

Well they shouldn’t have to learn a completely new language so ha 

No ha on you because I have better reasons and you can’t expect them to only speak one language their whole life can you.

Thank you to Carma who believes it should be taught in school to pretend that she didn’t want it to be taught. Blue Carma Pink Maia.
