germany

reflection I have learnt a lot throughout researching this country because its not something I would do in my own time. I learnt stuff such as the capital of Germany is Berlin and that basketball is a popular sport over there. this took me a little bit longer then it would me at school because all of the distractions such as my little brother being annoying as always

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? 

respect

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.

creation story

WALT tell the creation story in a creative way and your own word

reflection: this was cool but hard because I had to do it on liams chrome book and it was about to go flat and I was in a bit of a rush me and liam and pala were in a group. this is very unique piece off work.we colour coded the characters to represent different gods. we decided to work on a story board because we thought it would be easy it was kind of. this is a retell of the Moari creation story. Liam Pala and I choose to work as a group because we are Friends and we get along well with each other and we did work well together.

tech recount

Our first tech teacher was miss Du flu who is the cooking teacher at tech. Shes the best in my opinion, we made corn fritters they were pretty yummy. When we got there we had to wash our hands then miss Du flu gave us the recipe and we were off and we turned on the pan and put the corn fritters in there.

team building 3

WALT work together as a team.

On Wednesday we had another team building activity. This time we had a balloon and we got in groups of 4 or 5 and we had to pass the water balloon around in a circle without popping it. but every time someone caught it we had to take a step out. As the circle got bigger and bigger it got harder and harder to catch. I learnt that when you have something that fragile you have to work as a team to look after it.

Team building

WALT work together as a team

After lunch on the first day of school. myself lopala,Kauri,Aneika and Liam were in a group together the objective of the team building was to see what team could build the highest and fastest cup tower without touching the cups. The materials we got were a few pieces of string 1 rubber band and 20 plastic cups. I personally think my group and I worked pretty well together but if the tower fell over we always just blamed 1 person instead of encouraging each other but otherwise we worked pretty well together we included everyone and just worked generally well together. actually we worked that well together when miss said you can go with your Friends. We just went together again because the first time we worked so well. so yeah that was team building
