Lupe's Inquiry Video- How can we celebrate the differences we have?

This is a video made by Lupe- She is looking at how we are all different, so she went around our school and asked people to share what they like about themselves. In this way she helped us celebrate the differences in all of us.

Bronson's Pepeha

 This is Bronson, he is a Room 3 learner who is spending some time in or class today.

Ko Puhangatohora te maunga - My mountain is Puhangatohoroa 

Ko Mangatawa te awa - My river is Manatawa 

ko pukerata te marae - My Marae is Pukerata 

ko ngatokimata-whourua te waka - My waka is Ngatokimata-Whourua 

ko ngapuhi te hapu - My tribe is Ngapuhi 

ko naitu te iwi - And we are from Naitu 

"Knowing my Pepeha is important to me because if I go to a different place and meet new people, it is a way to share what is culturally important to me. Through hearing other people's Pepeha I can create meaningful connections."

Te wiki o Te Reo Maori

What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people. 

This week we are celebrating Te Reo Maori Language week. We are reflecting about how where we come from impacts who we are. As the week progresses we will share some of our mihis and what we are learning. 

During the Term 2 break I spent some time in the Far North. The photo above was taken at Cape Reinga (the northern most point on NZ), it shows two oceans meeting together and becoming one. I felt that it was a great way to represent and celebrate the bicultural nature of our Aotearoa. 

Tēnā tātou katoa.

Setelo's Digital Citizenship Ideas

Check out Setelo's great ideas about being a GOOD digital citizen

Digital Citizenship and Being Cyber Smart

Today we are recapping and learning how we can be GOOD digital citizens. We are using videonot.es to take useful notes as we watch YouTube videos. We are then transferring this information to a google drawing that we will post to our individual blogs. Hopefully we will be able to use these to teach other learners about being a good digital citizen. 

Reflecting on Camp
