We have kick started this term with the topic about Hauora which is about our well-being. We have been encouraged to use clay or play dough to create a metaphor that illustrates our well-being.
We have learnt that Dr Mason Durie uses a metaphor of a house - Te Whare Tapa Wha - to describe a persons well-being. There are four walls to a persons well being which are
Taha Tinana - Physical well being
Taha Wairua - Spiritural well being
Tara Hinegano - Mental well being
Taha Whanau - Social well being
We have had tremendous fun creating our metaphor that represents our Hauora. Here are some DLOs that have helped us develop our understanding about Hauora and reflect on our Hauora.
