maori gods

WALT  write to describe how nga atua Maori relate to us.

This term, Huia whanau have been talking about maori gods. The first thing we did was a bus stop activity to find out what we already knew. We then read the creation story and retold it in our own creative way. I chose to work collaboratively with Lopala and Liam and we made a storyboard which is like a comic but we only put the main parts in there because we didn't have enough room to do the whole story. as a class, we identified some important atua (gods) 

: Rongo-ma-tane, Maui, Ruaumoko, Tumatauenga, Tawhirimatea, Tangaroa. as a class we started working on our collaborative art  we got a section of the big picture and had to decide on what colour to do the gods. On Wednesday, we learnt about the different feeling and emotions of the different atua (gods) then miss thought us a song with actions.  what god do you relate to?

WALT create a quality blog post for our online audience, using correct punctuation.

What is respect?

Respect is when you treat someone or something with manaakitanga. Manaakitanga is when you care for something or someone. For example respect may look like we listen and wait our turn to share. It may also look like someone offers you something you would say thank you. or if someone asks you if you want something you would say yes please or no thank you those are manners.

that is some examples of respect we try to use that in our everyday life.
