Smart Relationships

Kupu Māori 

Smart Relationships

Our kaupapa this week was on Smart Relationships/Whakawhanaunga Karewa.
The ākonga/students had to brainstorm in groups what are the characteristics of a Smart Relationship online.

The goal or WALT/Whāinga Paetae:
Ka ako te ākonga me me pewhea ka taea e ia te whakawhanaunga kia tika ki runga i te ipurangi, anō hoki, me mōhio ia ki te whakamatua /pause, kātahi ka āta whakāarohia/carefully think he aha ngā momo pārongo rangatira/good information ka taea e au tohatoha/share ki te Ao.

We then came up with some Māori words which we could use in place of the english words as our goal is to read,write, and to speak more in Māori online.
