He Korowai Hapori

Today 9RMz,went to the Ruapotaka Marae and was with Glen Taylor school,we got invited by a women (forgot her name) and told us that we had to look after the little ones.Once we got inside we got our chairs and Whaea Noelene introduced herself in Maori and talked to us about the housing and told us about her childhood and told us that and then she told us about what we should do to achieve our goals to the furture after the talking about all that she decided to ask for a group photo,so we took a group photo each.Then we got back to school and relected on what we did.

Sustainability Day

Review our sustainability day!  Give lots of examples!

What did you do?

We Planted Seeds,Drew The Marae,Learned A Sasa,Listen to Maori Myths and learned about the rain garden and Mr Dunn was talking to us about our school projects and what we wanted to do and talked about building more parks for other kids to have fun and play.

What did you learn?

Learned about the rain garden and learned about the the maori Myths and the arts in the marae,We also learned a samoan Sasa,it was really fun because we learned it then we had a battle with the other side(the funny thing about it was that we all forgot the actions after learning it for like an hour).

How did you feel?

I felt experience by all the things that we did like learn more about the Maori culture and learning a seeing others learning my culture dance.Exploring the school and learning about things in the school was just amazing meeting the leaders properly and teachers as well.I enjoy learning about this school.I know that I’m gonna have the best 5 years at this college.

What do you want to learn more about?

The rain garden and how we can make the rain garden better than it is now.And learning about other cultures as well, everytime that i’m with my friends (that are a different culture than me) I always want to learn about their country and always wondered how things worked in their country.
