25. Writing – My life as ice

Kia Ora everyone

Today I will be sharing in room 10, about the writing I did at school for writing I did was about me being ice for a day which, Fisrt I had to tell about how I even became ice. Well let me tell you my life is cold, quiet, and constantly changing. One moment I’m peacefully floating in a glass of lemonade on a summer afternoon, and the next Im melting away under the sun’s heat. I’ve been part of glaciers slipped under skates in a frozen rink and even held someones sprained ankle together. People see me as temporary but I play a big part in their lives, even if just for a moment. I don’t stay in one place for long I melt evaporate and return again always finding new ways to exist. Life as ice is short but I’ve learned that even the coldest moments can have purpose. Thank you for time getting to read this blog about my life as a ice.

Ever wondered what it’s like to be ice?

So what we  had to do was go on tikercad also go to this link that was in our task check list you could choose either a mesina or taonga to make for someone. There were shapes on the link that were for the taonga or mesina, There were 4  to choose for a mesina shape which is here the meaning for. Ulimasao It can be used as a symbol of peace, safety and navigation, Ta Fesilafa’i It can represent fairness, strength and mercy. Fa’auli’ulito is a club shaped like a bat. It was the weapon given by Nafanua to her adopted parents in her attempt to convince her enemies to unite in peace and harmony. Last one was a Fa’amategataua it can be a symbol of strength and power, used only when one needs to end a mighty struggle. I did the Ta Fesilafa’i one because the mesina was for someone special to give it to which I gave it to me friend. For the shape one I made a Fa’aulutao it signifies the great courage, strength and determination of a warrior needed to fight a battle and survive another day.

Kia Ora everyone!

Performing at the pā was an incredible and unforgettable experience that filled me with so much pride and joy. The atmosphere was electric, with the rich cultural significance of the place creating a deep sense of connection and belonging. Standing on that stage, I felt the spirit of the land and the people, which inspired me to give my best. What made the day even more extraordinary was seeing Stan Walker and Hana. Their speechs were absolutely mesmerizing, full of passion, talent, and mana that radiated through the crowd. It was a privilege to witness their artistry and feel the powerful energy they brought to the pā. Being there, surrounded by such talent and culture, was both humbling and uplifting. It felt like a beautiful celebration of heritage, music, and community, and I’m grateful to have been part of such a memorable occasion.
