Taking Care of your Taha Hinengaro.

This term, in Kete, we started to learn about puberty and the 4 different dimensions of Houra. This week we focused on our mental health/Taha Hinengaro, we learn about the different parts/stages of our mental health. Here is the presentation that we made, hope you like it, bye!

What is the Filipino culture?

This term, we had a topic in Kete about Turangawaewae(a place where I stand) and also about different cultures that people have in class. Some presented things about their culture like the Thai buddies. For those of you that doesn't know, we had Thailand students come here and experience how kiwis learn in schools. While they were in this school they took the time to present things that they do in their culture, they showed us, Thai boxing and other stuff. Then near the end of the term, in week 9 Ms.Allan had an idea about if we could share some of our culture too,  which is Filipino.  So, in the middle of week 10 we started to create our scripts and prepare for the things that we were going to do. Mrs. Marijo, our Filipino/ESOL teacher help us to make this possible without her help, things wouldn't probably turn out as good as it did, so thanks for that Mrs.Marijo!

Any way, we did a presentation  while talking over it, we as in my co-members did the national dance of the Philippines which was originally "Tinkling" but was recently changed to "Carinosa". Also we showed the rest of the class games that we play in the Philippines. We had lots doing it, but at the same time we were really nervous too, even though I already presented in front of lots of people before. Here are some of the pictures from  yesterday, April 12.

Mascots of War

In these weeks of the term we've been learning more about Anzac day. First what we needed to do is to pick a topic about the Anzac/WW1. I choose the mascots of the war, and then we had to do a presentation about it and here it is. I choose three of the mascots and drew them in paper, I also gave a bit of information below them. I liked doing the presentation especially the drawing, it was abit of a difficult process though.Maybe what I need to do next time is maybe put more information on my presentation.

Success Criteria

Investigate this further. 

Then choose a mascot/mascots that was or were used in war. 

After that create a DLO about it.

I am learning to summarise and retell  the main ideas and important information from what I have read in my own words.

Synthesising

I am learning to put new ideas from the text with my prior knowledge or other text to develop new ideas and understandings.

Evaluating

I am learning to think carefully about what I am reading and how I use the text.

Information Literacy

I am learning to read and find the appropriate information I am searching for.

P.S here are the websites that helped me learn about these mascots of war.
