Puppets and Ventriloquisim

We continued to look in depth about our 4 aspects of our Hauora. Last week and the following week, we know started to present our ideas but in an exciting way; which is Ventriloquism we started to create puppets that we can use to state what we think. The question that we have to answer in our little puppet show is "How does eating healthy food help all 4 aspects of Hauora". Some groups like us are still continuing to create our puppets, though I as an individual has created my puppet we are still not finished per se.
We designed our puppets, one of my group members, Vann planned to create "Kaneki" from the anime "Tokyo Ghoul" and the other one Lars thought about doing "Gordon Ramsay". I, on the other hand, thought about doing two characters which were "Vito Corleone" [The Godfather] or "Mrs Doubtfire" from "Mrs.Doubtfire".
Another thing that we still need to think about is what we are going to say for the show.  We started to think about 1 one the aspects at first, which we thought would be the easiest. That is the Physical well-being, eating healthy foods such as vegetables; fruits and lots of protein would help you build muscles, therefore, making you more active. The next aspect that we looked at is Taha Whanau [Family], eating healthy foods or not even as healthy foods with your family tightens the bond. Foods may be a way to socialise with people better, like at gatherings, festivals or just hanging out. The third aspect that we started to do is Mental/Emotional well-being, this could connect to the whanau as well. This could be that after being tired from work or school; knowing that you have a family that takes care of you and makes you food with love, would contribute to how you feel emotionally. The last aspect which was Taha Wairua or Spiritual well-being, we looked at last. The foods could connect to your religion, an example of this can be not eating meat; as well as eating certain types of foods during parts of the year.  That is how we think eating healthy food help all 4 aspects of Hauora.

How to Be Physically Active!

This week in Drama, we continued to look at our well-being specifically our physical Huora. In this class, we discussed the ways in which we could look after our physical well-being. Some of them are: exercise, physical activity, sports, eating the right foods and maybe going to the gym. As well as discussing role models for physical activity; the first role model that I've chosen is Jackie Chan. I've long admired him not only as an actor but a martial artist as well. There have been some videos that I've watched him training and sparing with his stunt team, being that I was doing martial arts then it has inspired it to furthermore pursue it. I chose Jackie Chan because physically active, very much so, and I have always admired him and his work, I loved what he has done up until now. (I hope he makes hundreds of more movies).
After that, we did the (Hot Seat) where our group chose one of our "Idol" where our group picked Kevin Durant; being that he was very fit and physically active. We interviewed "him" and asked "him" physical well-being questions; of course, it wasn't really Kevin Durant but was one of my groupmates. The other person in my team got to ask him as well.
Being physically active is important to the body as it helps to prevent several deceases as well. Taking care of it is important to your whole Huora, your well-being; it provides help to the several parts of our "Te Whare Tapa Wha" which is extremely beneficial to us.

Goal: My goal to become more physically active is to exercise at least about a quarter an hour each day and eat healthier.

Drama Hurumanu

This term, after our P.E Hurumanu, we then altered to our next Hurumanu which is now 'Drama'.  I have not been in the first period of this lesson due to another subject; however, I was here for the second and here is what I've learnt. On the second period of this Hurumanu, we've started to look at the several parts of 'Te Whare Tapa Wha'. Which are also our Huora: Taha Tinana, Taha Wairua, Taha Whanau and Taha Hinengaro; we looked at the different ways that we could take care of those four dimensions of Huora. Subsequent to that, the class was then asked to form groups of which no more than four. In those groups, we had to perform what was called "freeze frame"(acting - where we had to use our selves to form an action to tell a story).  Each group had to 'act'/'Freeze Frame' that shows an or some aspects of Huora.  Then we hold each frame for approx 3 secs in which time the teacher will then take a photo.


We decided to Freeze Frame connected to our Taha Tinana(Physical Well-being)
