Your Voice, Your Choice

This week, room 10 has been focusing on the 2017 elections! As you would know, "VOTING"! Anyways, the party I think that I would vote for, is LABOUR".. This is because, she has more persuation in her descriptions, than other parties..

Although, the party that I really dislike, was the GREEN party... This is because they want to bring Anti-smacking back into the law and also because they want kids to go Army camping for more discipline..

Here is my presentation:

Whakatauki O te Wiki

Kia Ora ! Today's whakatauki is:

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini

______________________________________

My strength is not that of a single warrior but that of many

My personal meaning for this whakatauki means: 

Kaore te taea e te tangata kotahi te mahi i a ratau... No te mea e hiahia ana tatou ki tetahi kapa hei awhina.. 

________________________________________

It is not that only your strength can do all the work, because you need others to help you out.. 

We should be collaborating ideas and should be working as a team for the purpose of our knowledge.

Fonu Art

Kia Ora!

Today, room 10 has been working on some "Fonu Art" Designs..

In Tonga, they have an artwork called "Ngatu" - (Nga-Du).. Which is the Tongan version of Tapa.

A common symbol on the Tongan Ngatu is the turtle, or the Fonu.

_________________________________________________________________________________

What is the significance of the symbol of the turtle?

Turtles are said to join the departed guiding polynesians to their destinations.

Turtles symbolise health, fertility, longevity in life, foundation, peace and rest.

The word hono, meaning turtle in Marquesan language.  In te reo Maori, ‘hono’ has other meanings which encompass things such as joining and stitching together families and representing the idea of unity.

Miss Kyla brought in an artwork by Dunedin based, Tongan artist:  Sepasitiano Machiavelli.

We used his work to also inspire the style of our artworks.  We loved his bold and detailed patterns.

Here are some of our masterpieces .:

Whakatauki O te Wiki

Kia Ora ! Today's whakatauki is:

Tangata Ako i te whare, 

te tauranga ki te marae tau ana. 

______________________________________

The person taught well at home, 

will stand strong on the marae, and in society. 

My personal meaning for this whakatauki means: 

Mena he tangata koe e pai ana ki te ako i te kainga.. Nga uara ako, te whakaaetanga me te arataki. Ka uru atu koe ki nga mema i te whanau i roto i te hapori..

________________________________________

If you are someone who is well taught at home... learning values, respect, and leadership.. You will soon join your family members in society. 

We should be collaborating ideas and should be working as a team for the purpose of our knowledge.

DARE SESSION: 4-5

Kia Ora! 

For the last couple of weeks, the Kia Manawanui have been focusing on the D.A.R.E program...

D.A.R.E stands for: Drug, Abuse, Resistance, Education.. 

We have been learning about the causes that drugs have harmed to us and if it relates to short term effects or long term effects.. We have also been looking at people who have been getting sent to prison for a matter of time.. Some because of Murder and some because of phedaphile... 

What did you find challenging? 

Something, I found challenging about this session was the media.. Looking at what advertisements relate to their audience and why they are doing it.. Did you know that, not all news are real? Some are false.. 

Favourite Part:

My favourite part about this session, was learning more about how drugs can cause harm to your bodies.. Because, I now know not to take any drugs use, unless it has been given from a doctor.. 

The only drug I have taken before, is: Panadol.. 

Here is my last DARE session slide.

Hobby Heroes

Kia Ora!

For the last couple of weeks, room 10 has been focusing on our hobbies.. 

This week, we thought to make a google drawing about who are hobby heroes would be !

I have chosen Tyra Banks:

Did you know that, Tyra Banks would get mocked for, for having a big forehead.. Like, I mean, she is unique.. So, Instead of getting plastic surgery to change her looks, she owned herself .. I think this is very inspiring.. Do you know why? Because, my friend may have a big forehead, but that means she is smart and beautiful.. But, mainly unique. 

Tyra Banks is my hobby hero because she inspires me to be a modelist..

I am interested in modelling because, I know that I can express my ways to the world.. It will also show every-body that I am beautiful, the same as every other person..

This is my hobby hero and I hope you have enjoyed..

My Qualities

Kia ora.. 

Quality is the ability to think differently, to get outside the box that forces solutions. Quality gives leaders the ability to see things that others have not seen.The most important question to this introduction is "What does qualities mean?" !

Qualities means the standard or something and the degree of an excellence work.. 

What I found challenging?

The main thing I found challenging, was creating a DLO about qualities... Now, I know how to create my own DLO to a national standard, to share my thoughts.. I have now guessed, that I used quality work standards. 

Here is my google drawing about QUALITIES:
