Early Maori Enterprise

In the early 1800, Maori was the first trading company, who did bartering and haggling which means to trade and to negotiate.
They would plant kumara and would bring back the money they got from selling, but they traded too many items that were not worth what the item originally was, or what it was traded for.
The inland tribes often traded berries to the coastal tribe for seafood.
Maori were the key producers and suppliers of agriculture produce.
After trading many items, it explains why Maori signed over their land by the 1900s.

Today for inquiry we wrote a 5 sentences summary about how Maori were the first trading company and then we made small sentences that explains our summary but it only had 10 syllables in them. We did this by counting on our fingers, stomping the ground 2 times then tapping our thigh twice and then clapping our hands once. We did this tow times so it made up to ten. I had a lot of fun doing thing it also made me remember that Maori were the first to do enterprise

Water Filters


This week for inquiry we made our water filters. My group used pebbles, Charcoal, sand and a piece of cloth to make our water fixtures. We then poured dirty water into the filter and waited for the water to come all the way out and compared it to the water grading strip that was on the TV. I had a lot of fun making this and I also learned that 2.4 million people i this world don't get access to clean water like we do today.
