KI-o-Rahi Reflection by Hope

On Wednesday the 26th of June, there were four teams that went to a Ki -O - Rahi Tournament. Ki - o - Rahi is a maori sport that is based on myths and legends. When we left our school we had to have a good attitude because if we do something bad others can see and they will know what school we go to because we were wearing the school uniform. Our school has a rule for when we go to tournaments and it's Be Humble Winners and Gracious Losers.
Here are some photos of what ki - o - rahi looks like:

Survival of the Fittest by Hiria

Kia ora and welcome to my blog! Today we were talking about what we will be needing to survive in the woods or when we are going hiking.

The first question is:

What would you first put in your bag?

Well, If I was going to answer that I would pick water.

The second question is:

Why would you need water and food to survive?

The next question is: Why do you need all of these things I have written down on my google drawing to survive?

There is also another question:

What if you forgot and didn't have those things to survive? What would you do?



Feel free to leave your answer down below and thank you for visiting my blog and I also hoped that you learnt something from this blog also please give me feedback and have a great day

Back to the Future by Auckland

For our Reading task today we did a bit of time travelling to find out more about how schooling was in the past. My teacher said, "A trip down memory lane." The book that we read was Olden Days by Rachel Stedman. Our follow-up task related to writing a brief letter to the future sharing important bits about what life is like today. I created this DLO to explain my thinking. Hope you enjoy it!

AKO hour at Tamaki Primary✌🏽💛Peace Activist - Ron Kovic💛✌🏽

WALT: Research Peace Activists.

Kia Ora and welcome back to our class blog! For AKO hour at school, our group decided to focus on peace. For those wondering what AKO hour is all about, it's a time set aside whereby we share our learning with the rest of the school as well as the broader community. 

During today's blog I will be sharing with you all which peace activist I've chosen to explain to you all how this person influenced peace talks in their country/people. Example while researching peace activists I choose Ron Kovic and here is what I found out about this peace activists:

"72 Year Old Ron Kovic is an American anti-war activist, writer, was former United States Marine Corps Sergeant, and of course is a peace activists, who was wounded and paralysed during the Vietnam War. On January 20, 1968, Ron Kovic was awarded a Purple Heart for his service and courage during the Vietnam War, he was shot in the spine and was paralyzed from waist down."

My group (Lydia, Hiria, Hope) and I (Hevani) all chose one peace activist:

Me - Ron Kovic

Lydia - Nelson Mandela

Hiria - Samantha Smith

Hope - Leymah Gbowee

After explaining how each peace activist lead peace or caused peace to their country we then all added our own meaning of peace at the end of our presentation,

Here is our peace activist presentation:

Growth Mindset by Syraiah-Lee

Today, we asked to reflect on what having a growth mindset means and how this has an impact on our learning. This year, we have been doing a lot of discussions around “growth” versus “fixed” mindsets. To briefly summarise, individuals who believe their talents can be developed (through hard work, good strategies, and input from others) have a growth mindset. They tend to achieve more than those with a more fixed mindset (those who believe their talents are innate gifts). 

What is really cool about our school is that having a growth mindset is not only important for students, but our teachers also embrace this concept. This has resulted in students taking greater ownership of their learning which encourages a focus on effort rather than intelligence. Our learning takes place in a fun, relaxed environment where our opinions and perspectives are valued. 

I hope that you a learnt something from this brief post. I have included my "growth mindset quote" for the week. Hope you enjoyed reading.
