Maori Signs and Symbols

Hi today I will be explaing what my symbols that I have drawn represent. 

The first symbol I will be explaing to you are the flags (the ones in the top left corner). The first flag represents tonga which represents a part of me because I am part tongan. The second is a Maori flag which represents one of the few ethnicities that I represent very proudly. These are two of my main ethnicities that I will always have in my bloodline. I am proud to call myself maori and tongan and I hope you have just as much pride for your ethnicities as I do.

The second symbol I have chosen to draw today is a family because it represents my siblings, parents etc. Of course I love my family and that is why have chosen to draw the outline of a family.

The third drawing I have chosen to do  is a peace sign and the yin and yang symbol. To me these symbols represent respecting each others differences and treating each other equally. The yin yang represents the ups and downs that I may go through but to always focus on the positive.

Last but not least I drew a heart to represent the love that I have for my friends and family. It also represents kindness and generosity that people have showed towards me and others.

Technology

Hi today I will be telling you about what we did during technology. we were talking about 2D and 3D, sketching and drawing and a lot of stuff to do with history and we even learnt how to write the whole alphabets letters by using a vertical rectangle. we learnt how to make 3D letters and how to draw our name with those 3D letters. we learnt names for shapes and the name they use for shapes that have more than 10 sides. For some people that don't know what polygon is it comes from Greek and poly means ''many'' and gon means ''angles''. A shape can only be a polygon if the sides are straight
and not curved for example.
