Ingarangi, Weera, Koterangi, and Airangi is Maori places for, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. There are many locations in England. For example: Buckingham Palace in London, Windsor Castle in Windsor, The Palace of Holyrood House in Edinburgh, Balmoral Castle, Aberdeenshire in Scotland. For this week’s Te Reo Maori lesson, we learnt about the Royal family tree and who the members of the family are. We also looked at the family tree and labeled each member by translating it from Māori to English.
Showing Respect in a Image
LI: Create a DLO showing respect using photos you have taken.
Respect is a big word that has lots of signs of respect. For example: in this image on top it shows me picking up the rubbish on the ground. Respect in our CARE awards means: being respecful to our environment and taking care of one other. Showing respect can be shown in many ways like: helping people, picking up rubbish, listening to the teacher or the person that is talking, not talking over the teacher, making things and giving to people.
Aretha Franklin Song Respect
LI: Research Aretha Franklin’s song RESPECT.
Aretha Fanklin was born in 25 March 1942 and 1960 is got her first hit song when she was 18. Aretha Franklin is a singer/artist. She makes many songs, but one of the songs we are forcing on was RESPECT. The reason we are forcing on the song RESPECT is because one of the CARE awards is respect. One of the facts I wrote was that: she won 18 grammys, and 122 singles. One of the lines of the song RESPECT is “R-E-S-P-E-C-T, take care, TCB.” TCB means taking care.
I found this activity diffcult because I never knew about Aretha Franklin, but I knew her song RESPECT.
Thank you Letter
LI: Write a thank you letter to a teacher or staff member.
Writing thank you letters shows your greatfulness to the person your writing to. There is always a meanings to behind the thank you letter. My thank you letter meaning is that I’m greatful she made food for us and help us at camp. For example the meaning for my thank you letter is: Thank for taking LS2 on hiking and taking helping our teachers take us to camp. I enjoyed the time with you in LS2 and I appreciate the time you been kind to LS1 by laughing at jokes, watching movies with us, and other things you did for us.
I found this activity tough because camp had lots of people helping and it was hard to chose.
Taniwha Art Moka-Ika-Hikuwaru
LI: To learn about the traditional history of the Tamaki River.
Moka-Ika-Hikuwaru is a taniwha that lives within the panmure. This taniwha had eight tails. Our design of Moka-Ika-Hikuwaru is, he is doing a pukana, and the sun doing a pukana like in the story of Maui and the sun. The pattern on its face has little hearts on the eyes and the mouth. To shows it love. The little design on its body is a sympol of the water flowing left to right. The coloured of the background shows that the green is that the taniwha is on land and the blue is the sky.
I found this activity diffcult because I didn’t know how to draw a taniwha from my mind and we wasn’t allowed to trace the taniwhas design.
Collage PBS Life
LI: To make use of the whole space and putting boarders around images.
Our class created a collage of photos representing the time we spent in PBS. The collage shows the information and the work, I did in my past years of being a PBS. Some images shows my time at camp, art, maths, and showing the CARE awards. When I go to college, this will remind me about the time I was at PBS.
I found this activity creative because making collages reminds people about there times just by looking at images.
Brochure
LI: To remember and give information about Kokako Lodge
After camp, we created a brochure about information and highlights about our experiences at Kokako Lodge. We used our persuasive skills and gave reasons to why our audience would want to go. We used pictures to show what it is like at Kokako Lodge and what they provide for you.
I found this activity interesting because I learnt new things about camp and listing everthing I did.
Key Competencies
LI: To create a comparison of the before and after experiences at camp
Before camp, we wrote down what we would achieve at camp by using the acronym TRUMP. The meaning of Trump is thinking, relating to others, participating and contributing, using language, symbols and text, and managing self. These 5 words help us to remember when to use them in every activity. When we came back from camp, we wrote down how we used the key competencies for our belongings and in the activities.
I found this activity challenging because this is relating to myself and what I did at camp.
Dot to Dot Connections – Treaty of Waitangi
LI: LI: To draw the lines between the words to show how the connections you have made.
To help us strengthen our connections to the Treaty of Waitangi we worked collaboratively to draw lines between words we thought connected. The example I have chosen to share is the connection between missionaries and Henry Williams. These words have a connection because Henry Williams was one of the missionaries who translated the Treaty from English into Maori. This is important because it was the errors in translation that caused problems going forward.
This activity was interesting because I was able to see the connections I have made to the topic.
Worm Tunnel Art
LI: To make use of the whole space, To shade and blend colours, To use complementary colours.
In this activity we learn to make use of the whole space on the paper and to blend and shade using complementary colours. Complementary colours are colours that that are opposite one another on the colour wheel and when used next to each other stand out.
We found this activity creative because it had to use the whole space and the shading was challenging making it dark – mediem dark – light.
