Kia Manawanui Clas Treaty by Alethia

Kia Manawanui Class Treaty 2018!

This year we had waitangi day and we learnt about the treaty of waitangi which made us make our own treaty for this class.We all went into 4 groups and came up with some rules for each rule which was:

1. Working in groups
2. Entering/Leaving
3. Online
4. In/Out Activities.

I was in the group making down some rules in the online section.I really enjoy making the rules with my team because how we got to show it to our class so they could disagree or agree.What I did not like was having to be stuck and thinking a lot but then we asked a teacher which was very helpful.

Here is a screenshot of the Kia Manawanui treaty and below you will see the students names that they signed below.

Feel free to take a look but don't forget to COMMENT below!.

Creative stories @ Te Tuhi by Cerenity

Kia ora and welcome back to my blog!

WALT: Write a reflection about our experience at Te Tuhi.

1. 3 things that I have learnt:

One thing that I learnt at Te Tuhi is that people can be inspired just by the things around them just like Gary Peter and he made an artwork that was inspired by a ventilation! This is his artwork!

Another thing that I learnt was that Shannon Te Ao (an Artist) went to where he lived and he took lots of pictures, added different sounds and made a video about where he came from.

And last of all, I learnt that Shannon Te Ao made a video about his ancestors, one of his ancestors was sick and she ended up in a relationship with a man that she loved so much.

2. Explain two ways you can take what you have learned to give back to our TPS community?:

Coming back to TPS, I brought back a positive mindset and a can do attitude!

3. Name one thing that you would have liked to spend more time on?:

One thing that I would like to have spent more time on was our Role play because people didn't really know there lines so we kind of just made it up as we went through it. 

4. What was one thing Salome did that you liked?:

One thing Salome did that I liked was when she showed us Gary Peters artwork because it was very colourful and I liked that he got inspired just by this on little thing which was the Ventilation.

Here is a picture of my collage that I made!

Kiwisport & Softball Reflection by Cerenity

Kia ora and welcome back to my blog!

Yesterday we got into our home groups  and one group did kiwisport and the other group did Softball. In kiwisport our sport that we are learning is tennis and I learnt about how to bat properly by using your forehand and backhand swings.

In Softball, I learnt how to catch the glove when being on one of the bases. This week we are having a Softball tournament and by playing Softball, it's helping me get better and better when I keep learning. One thing that I think I'm good at in Softball is being on base one where I can get people out quite easily if someone passes it to me properly.

Here are some pictures of what we did Yesterday!

Women and this programme wants everybody to participate and learn how to defence there self when somebody is out to get them.In my reflection I have written down:

1. What I enjoyed?
   
2. What we did?
3. What we learnt?
4. What I have improved?

I enjoy doing this because how I got to learn some moves on how to defence myself.

What I found chanllenging was trying to shout when we had to do this type of move and we had to also scream like we were actually been hurt by someone.

Here is my reflection.
