Kapahaka - Distinction post 17

On Thursday we performed at the senior citizens concert. We all had to be at the hall at ten past one in our kapahaka uniform so that we would be ready to perform. We performed the songs haleluia, pa mai, tenei matou and taitapu with the haka. I showed the care value of excellence by performing the songs with pride. I showed leadership by showing up ready in my kapahaka uniform on time so that we could perform on time. I was a role model by listening to what Mrs Baker and Mr Brown had to say and doing it quietly.

On Thursday Maddy and I ran skipping for the kakano kids. Since I had the senior citizens concert at ten past one we did it in the first half of lunch. We ran it on the court next to the junior playground. Once we got there we started skipping until some little kids joined in. I helped a little kid set up the long rope for people to jump in so Maddy and I could hand out pozi's. We then handed out pozi's and encouraged some kids to not give up when they were having a hard time skipping. We also organised some skipping races then we had to pack up so I could go and perform at the senior citizens concert.

I showed the care value of community by making sure the younger kids got even amounts of turns on the long rope.

I showed leadership by managing my time well and knowing when I had to do things.

I was a role model by encouraging the kids that were in the race and running my PALs duty with a positive attitude.

I can understand operations using fractions, decimals and integers.

Assessment task

I found the strategies 1 and 4 easy because I had already done the ixl activities before.

                 I found the assessment task and strategy 2 the hardest because it was new to me.

Te Reo, Term 4 2016.

This term we have been learning all about the Marae. We have learned that…….

• The Marae is an important focal point for the community.
• The Marea is a place where tradition and customs can be carried out.
• The Marae is a place where people can express their values with dignity.
• There are many kawa ( protocols) that prevail on the marae.
• 
  
• Marae kawa (protocols) can differ between maraes and iwi.
  We have focussed on some key concepts when doing this learning.
  These are listed and explained in the table below.
  
  

  Concept	Definition - give the meaning of these concepts in your own words.
  Tikanga	The way the marae do things.
  Pōwhiri	The welcoming ceremony for when visitors come onto the marae.
  Tangata whenua	The local people that are connected to the marae.
  Manuhiri	Visitors to the marae.
  Tūrangawaewae	The marae is your home and it has right and rules.
  Whanaungatanga	You feel like you belong.
  Manaakitanga	respect the elders.
  Aroha	It means loves.

  
  
  See this video for an explanation of the roles and responsibilities of people on a marae.
  
  
  Something I would like to learn more about the marae is how the welcoming ceremony goes when visitors come to the marae.

Kapahaka - Distinction post 15

On Friday I had kapahaka. First, we sung tenei matou and pa mai. Secondly we sung haleluia, tai tapu, pa mai, tenei matou and the haka. In tenei matou we got the actions mixed up with the pa mai actions so we had to do it again. Then we had to practise the start actions because some people didn't know it. After that some people got moved in their lines so the people that knew the actions best were at the front. Then we went through the performance for Thursday. We practised that until the bell rang then we got released and went back to class for morning tea.

I showed the value of respect by showing up on time to practise.

I showed leadership by doing the actions and singing my best.

I was a role model by listening to what Mrs Baker, Mr Brown and Matua Rihari said and doing it.

On Thursday Maddy and I ran moon hopper races for the kakano students. First we got the moon hoppers out of the P.E shed. Secondly we got some cones from the classroom and set up were we were going to run the races. Then once some kids had come over to play we sorted them into even lines and ran the races. We gave pozi's out to the winners and kids that were trying their best. When the bell rang for the end of lunch we packed up the cones and the moon hoppers. Then we returned the cones back to the senior classroom and the moon hoppers to the P.E shed.

I showed the care value of respect by when a younger kid fell off the moon hopper in the middle of a race I checked if he was o.k and encouraged him to finish the race.

I showed leadership by handing out lots of pozi's.

I was a role model by getting to my PALs duty on time.
