Hauora (Well Being) - Metaphor

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. 

Hauora by Edith

In the Kia manawanui Class we have been learning about the Hauora and what could happen if we don't take care of one if the 4 things. It is like a car if a tyre is flat you will not go far until you take care of it.
