Storyboard writing

Kia ora e te whānau,

Kua rapahia e au i tētahi momo āhuatanga e rata ana āku ākonga ki te hanga. Ko te Storyboard tērā, anei tōku tauira e hangai ana ki te kaupapa whakako arā ko Hine-ahu-one. I hanga ahau tēnei mō ngā ākonga kia kite ae rātou i te painga o te tuhituhi me te pānui. Kua kite ahau te kaha o ngā ākonga kahore i te tino rata ana ki te tuhituhi me te pānui kua huri whakaaro rātou nā runga anō i tē āhuatanga o tēnei momo āhuatanga hou.

Kia Ora koutou e te whānau, This waiata was in regards to Covid-19 this was about being safe and keeping safe all the time by washing our hands.

Writing Creates Writers!

 Kia Ora koutou, 

I have been soo impressed by one of my students writing genre I had to post it up. This student has come from Kura Kaupapa Māori and this is her first year in a english mainstream environment a Yr 7 student .I have found a lovely site which helps students write and even helps them enjoy writing. Please read her wonderful writing about the topic Should students be paid if they get good grades?.

Writing Genre: Persuasive Texts, Debate, Critical Thinking

Paying students for good grades would encourage them to keep doing good in class. “When us students are paid for good grades we learn that working hard and making good choices does have its rewards. We will try to get better grades in the hopes of earning more money.

If teachers follow through with us, students will soon be able to buy important stuff including school supplies and materials for projects by ourselves. We might actually start to go to school and not skip class, by not skipping class and paying attention we will start to do better in school so we can earn money too.

We need to start learning how to use money responsibly. When us students get paid our parents can then start teaching us the ways to properly spend our money. This will help us get prepared for our future.

Giving money to us students with good grades and those in low-income families would encourage us to stay in school. A rigorous new study found that the school gets results: cash incentives help low-income students stay in school and get better grades,” says TIME. If the school paid us students for our good grades, we can then help our families by helping pay for our own stuff. Students would learn how to support ourselves so we can be successful in the future.

Nau mai hoki mai ki te taumata 3

Back to level:3!                                               

,

Well back to level 3 again and this time learning and creating online has been a lot more easier for Te Puna Wairua. 

The students and pouako have tried to make learning even more fun than before, big ups to Matua Punehu and his games that he has created from using nearpod.

Our wairua has been alright this time around BUT we all can't wait to get back to kura to some kind of normality. What that looks like we don't know.

Mihi nui kia koe Whaea Tamara who is online with us each and every day and has even starting creating activities for our unit.

Tēnā rā tātou. Nei rā ngā pia pono o Te Puna Wairua e mahi nei i tā te rangatira mahi, ahakoa ngā tai roa a Kupe, kei konei rātou e ū tonu nei ki ngā mahi.

E pai ai tā rātou whakatutuki i te wāhi ki te raranga matihiko e kīa nei ki te reo pākehā ko te Cybersmart. Kia tau rā ngā manaakitanga a te wāhi ngaro ki runga ki a tātou katoa, mauri ora!

When you stop learning, you will stop growing. Becoming mature not only entails your age, but it should also speak highly of how much you have learned through the years. Seize every chance to learn. Read a book. Listen to people. learn te reo. There are a lot of ways to learn and life is but a huge classroom.

Tunu-Kai Cooking class

 He mihi nui tēnei kia koe Joshua, We had a wonderful cooking class today with you thank you so much it was great having you lead this kaupapa and so well organised. Watch out all master chefs as Joshua is on his way to having his own cooking show!. I wonder????

Tangata ako ana i te whare, te turanga ki te marae, tau ana

A person who is taught at home, will stand collected on the Marae (meeting house grounds)

A child who is given proper values at home and cherished within his family, will not only behave well amongst the family but also within society and throughout his life.

Tama tu tama ora, tama noho tama mate

An active person will remain healthy while a lazy one will become sick

An word of encouragement to urge children to participate in activities and exercise. It is like saying, To stand is to live, to lie down is to die.

 He kai kei aku ringa

There is food at the end of my hands

Said by a person who can use his basic abilities and resources to create success.

Ko te amorangi ki mua, ko te hapai o ki muri

The leader at the front and the workers behind the scenes

This is a reference to Marae protocol where the speakers are at the front of the meeting house and the workers are at the back making sure everything is prepared and that the guests are well looked after. It is important to note that both jobs are equally important, and are like the ying and yang, for without one, everything would fail.

Hauoratanga

I tēnei wā kei te aro ana mātou ngā pouako ki te hauoratanga ō te tamaiti ā ngākau ā tinana, ā wairua, ā hinengaro  and  what a better way to start the day with a dance competition. I think i won personally! Congratulations Jeremy and last weeks winner Te Ahimairangi. 

Karere Whakanui

He mihi whakanui tēnei ki a Joshua te mīharo hoki ou mahi tuhituhi e pā ana ki te kaupapa tunu kai i te wā hangarau. Kua tuhituhi ia i ngā hāetepe mahi, ka mau te wehi tama. This is a post to celebrate the work that one of our students have done while online learning, Tūmeke Joshua! keep up the good work tama. Ngā Mihi Matua Lou, kia ora mō te tautoko me te manaaki.

Harakeke learning on line

 
Kia Ora e te whānau,
I would like to share my new experience at teaching kaupapa digitally. We Te Puna Wairua have started to improvise and even improve on my āhuatanga ako (my pedagogy style of teaching and learning). We now have Kapa Haka up and running two days a week on google hangouts. Friday i decided to do art as the students are hands on and love art. As you can see we are making harakeke flowers and kono (bags) our whāinga (objective) is to raise money for our kaka haka rōpu and I would like to share this with other teachers who are thinking HOW do we do this?.Believe me it is not easy but it is fun! and thats what teaching is all about. Mā te Atua ka tiaki i a tātou katoa.
