Welcome to the first week of the Summer Learning

DAY 1: In the Beginning...



Activity 1: The Legend of New Zealand

 [4 points]According to Māori mythology, much of Aotearoa New Zealand

 was formed when Māui, a powerful demigod, fished it out of the sea. Legend has it that Māui

created a magical fish hook from the jawbone of his grandmother and that one day he took his

hook, boarded a boat, and rode out into the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Once at sea,

he threw his magical

 hook into the water

and caught a fish. This ‘fish’ was actually the North Island of New

 Zealand! In honour of this legend, the North Island of New Zealand is sometimes

 referred to as Te Ika a Māui or ‘Māui’s fish’ and

 the South Island of New Zealand is sometimes referred to as Te Waka

 a Māui or ‘Māui’s canoe

Library bus

I was very excited to go to the library bus for the first time. At the bus we were introduced to Erica and her friend Bret they were both librarians. After we went inside the bus and went up the stairs. Then she told us where the books were. There were fiction books , non fiction book. After she talked to us she said we were only allowed to take two books.

Mr nath was called us one by one to get our library cards.We only had 20 minutes to pick two books. We were looking at all the books , we were also reading them at the same time. After me and  Tupou found a joke book and we were telling jokes to people. It was time to go and every one chose there books but me so i chose two goosebumps my first choice was the werewolf from fever swamp and the scream of the haunted mask.

This was very fun and cool because we got to see some of our favourite book and i cant wait to come back next month to choose more books.

Life Education

                                                   Life Education

On Tuesday we had our first life education lesson in a caravan. First we talked about  the things that worried us and we rote it down on a sheet of paper. This was a group activity.

Our second session was on Wednesday. We  talked about social,  physical and emotional changes  our bodies went through as we grew up from being a child to adolescence.  We all were given these cards that had the statements about  emotional , social and  physical changes in our body. We had to place these statements in the correct places on the wall that had the three labels on it.

On Thursday  we had our last session. In this session  we talked about  how our brain sends signals to different parts of the body when we are in danger.  The amygdala is like a little warrior in our brain that detects danger and sends signals to the body  and it makes us stronger.



This is Nicole Fonua. She is a Life Education tutor who took our three sessions.
